  2. Re:Needle on the camels back. on Attack of the Gaming Grannies · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it a straw that broke the camel's back?

    In Soviet Russia, a Beowulf cluster of gaming grannies imagine YOU!

  5. Re:Roadmap? on Firefox Tops 100 Million Downloads · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can find more information on the Mozilla developer wiki. Here is a page on Firefox 1.5, for example. Some notable features include SVG support, JavaScript improvements, the canvas tag, faster back/foreward navigation, UI improvements, and an overhaul to the extension system (again).

  6. Re:How about: ... (OT) on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 1

    Nah, I copied it from someone on another forum :-). Why would you change your sig, though? Keep it and help the Numbers spread. It's cool to know there are other Lost fans here, BTW.

  7. How about: ... on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 1

    ... if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Does it really matter to anyone (not counting government officials that want to run everything themselves) who controls DNS? Also, I'm not sure I'd trust the UN to manage the Internet more than I trust the US.

  8. Re:Copyright on Google Changes Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    Copyright != trademark.

  9. Re:PETA? on Microchips for Dangerous Animals? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    PETA seems to support microchipping. See, for example, this page and also this one.

  10. Re:What registration? on 2005 Will Probably be Warmest on Record · · Score: 1

    I don't think so; I cleared my cookies to check and didn't have to register or sign in. /me shrugs.

  11. What registration? on 2005 Will Probably be Warmest on Record · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I didn't have to register to view it.

  12. Re:I'm starting to believe. on 2005 Will Probably be Warmest on Record · · Score: 5, Funny
    I only wish others would wake up and smell the coffee and be diligent too.

    Nooooo! Making coffee only worsens global warming!
  13. Re:Yeah on An Intro To Editing Audio On Linux · · Score: 1

    Except, with non-free software, the developers/company have some incentive (your money) to add features and fix bugs.

  14. Re:Yeah on An Intro To Editing Audio On Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Find someone who is a coder and bribe them with money/pizza/Mountain Dew/etc?

  15. Re:Doesn't matter..... on Samsung To Pay Out $300 Million In Anti-Trust Suit · · Score: 1

    The answer still wouldn't be Windows XP. (Remember Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista.)

  16. Re:Doesn't matter..... on Samsung To Pay Out $300 Million In Anti-Trust Suit · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that may be true soon. High gas prices suck.

  17. Re:Looks like on Google Hires Gaim's Main Developer · · Score: 1

    Come on, it's all pun 'n Gaims.

  18. Re:Bye Bye Innodb!! on MySQL 5 Production in November · · Score: 1

    Is there an echo in here?

  19. Re:MySQL has been, and always will be sub standard on MySQL 5 Production in November · · Score: 1

    I agree. Many people don't need an enterprise database. For, say, a blog, forum, or a simple access-restricted website, MySQL is more than good enough.

  20. Re:Great! on MySQL 5 Production in November · · Score: 3, Informative

    See the MySQL documentation for triggers, views, and stored procedures, respectively. To answer your question, if you don't know what they are, you probably don't need them.

  21. Re:loose change? on The Princess Bride Musical · · Score: 2, Informative
    Just a minor nitpick, but what Max actually said is that he was only "mostly dead". The exact quote is:
    Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
    Inigo Montoya: What's that?
    Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
  22. Re:No, no, NO! Don't aim it at the serv- on Archimedes Death Ray · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Slashdot death ray doesn't even use mirrors!

  23. Obligatory Coral link on Archimedes Death Ray · · Score: 5, Informative

    The server seems really slow right now, try this.

  24. Wow, that was fast on The Art of Particle Physics · · Score: 0, Redundant
