  1. Re:What is worse that a first post? on The 10 Tech People Who Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    I was going to make a joke about slashdigg.com...

    But then I found out it actually exists.

  2. Re:DEpartment tag? on QPAD XT-R Mouse Pad Review · · Score: 1

    I guess "from the slashvertisement dept." wouldn't have sounded too great. (Is this really news, anyway? I don't remember the Icemat 2 or any of the Steel series getting posted on Slashdot.)

  3. Re:Obligatory on QPAD XT-R Mouse Pad Review · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A lot of gamers do. It is a lot more enjoyable to play games with a precise mouse that isn't 5 inches wide and a large low-friction, comfortable mouse pad. You may debate on whether it's worth it, but it's certainly better :)

  4. Re:And NOW Ads! on Yahoo! Opens up Their Instant Messenger · · Score: 1

    I'm sure people will find ways around that. :)

  5. Re:Aaugh! My eyes! on Flickr to Grant Commercial API Key to Competitors · · Score: 1

    I think he meant http://lemonparty.org.uk/ (SFW, actually)

  6. Moderation on Web 2.0, Meet .Net 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should have moderation. (Score: -1, This deserves to be on http://thedailywtf.com/)

    Oh well. Think of it as an opportunity, nay, an encouragement, to feel smug and/or point and laugh :-)

  7. Re:Passing thoughts on Your Thoughts Are Your Password · · Score: 1

    Would I be able to teach my passwords to my friends? :)

  8. Re:Unforseen problems on Is It Time For .tel? · · Score: 1

    Hello, I am an English human.
    Honest.

    I'm not the goverment trying to cover up a conspiracy of any sort. Would we lie to you? I mean, erm, would I lie to you?

  9. Re:what about on UK Government to Shut Down GSM Networks · · Score: 1

    Should be doable if they allow tagging on comments... :D

  10. Re:SQLite on Mozilla Firefox 2 Alpha 1 Available · · Score: 1

    1.8GB, quite impressive. I myself only managed 1.5GB, although it only took me around 30 minutes to reach.

  11. Re:You left out the most important part on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    and the zebra waffles snarf snarf -5940324 SEGFAULT core dumped

  12. Re:Nothing To See Here on Internet Searches Reveal CIA's Secrets · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, yes...

    Uhm... apparently, anyway >_>

  13. Re:Quick test on Windows Live Search goes Live · · Score: 1

    I quite like the dynamic search window, although it has its own set of annoyances. For one, the scroll bar feels horrible to use; I think a scroll bar doesn't work particularly well for this type of application. I know I'd prefer something similar to what Adobe Reader does for panning documents - then I can use only relative mouse movements, instead of moving my mouse to the center to drag this weird scroll bar thing. Then you have the added disadvantage of built-in browser features not working, such as being able to middle-click on the page and let it scroll for me (I don't know what this feature is called, but I use it a lot). You can confuse it slightly by changing text size too... It thought I was displaying items 229-228 out of (79,328)... In conclusion, I think it could be a good search tool, but the user interface needs work, and as you said, it needs features.

  14. Re:This is pure hype on Quad Core Chips From Intel and AMD · · Score: 1

    Windows XP Pro allows two physical processors, which could well each have 4 cores.

  15. Re:Slashdotted. on On The Feminine Form In Gaming · · Score: 1

    I'm betting most people didn't read that far ;)

  16. Fortunately on Trojan Exploits Unpatched IE Flaw · · Score: 1

    The exploit never worked for me anyway, so I don't think I have anything to worry about ;)

  17. Re:Checksums are always going to be vulnerable on Practical Exploits of Broken MD5 Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Then would you also take a checksum of that checksum? o_O

  18. ARCHIVE on Authors Guild Sues Google Over Print Program · · Score: 1

    Aye, they should ask for permission, but I doubt it would be so successful if it asks for permission. For starters, it wouldn't know who to ask. If it cached bulletin board posts, would it have to ask for the permission of all the people who posted in it? Do you propose something along the lines of <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow,YesGoogleYouCANArchiveT<nobr>h<wbr></wbr></nobr> is">?

  19. NOARCHIVE on Authors Guild Sues Google Over Print Program · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can use the NOARCHIVE meta tag if you don't like Google caching your pages. You can also ask for your pages to be removed.
