  1. Re:Let's go for the "retro" look on Designer on Slashdot Overhaul Plans · · Score: 1

    Yeah, cos I see far too many graphics and images all over a typical page, especially when I'm running the adblock extension... *rolls eyes*

  2. Re:more links on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: 1

    I thought about swapping out the bulb in a scanner with a blacklight a few years ago when I was working on a scanner. They didn't appear to be anything more than 12" fluorescent tubes.

  3. Re:Obesity on Nintendo & McDonalds Providing WiFi · · Score: 1, Funny

    Valkyrie needs food, badly.

  4. Re:If... on Nintendo & McDonalds Providing WiFi · · Score: 5, Funny

    I believe you meant to say "just filter out by BigMAC address..."

  5. Re:Pffft...Mormons on Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show · · Score: 1

    Now here's a post that deserves to be modded +5, Insightful. You hit the nail right on the head. And as far as some viewing my original comment as flamebait (or "going there" or whatever), it was a mildly playful jab at Mormons, which is precisely why I qualified it with the comment about them being a nice bunch of folks. All the ones I've ever met truly are.

  6. Re:Huh? on Gaiman on MP3 Audio Books, Mirrormask · · Score: 1

    I was hoping for a floating giant balloon...

  7. Re:Card's Ideals on Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show · · Score: 1

    I think you got something backwards there. The same people who are opposed to that kind of behavior also claim to be opposed to titty bars and whorehouses, yet frequent them when they get a chance.

  8. Re:is this NOT an OLD version on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit · · Score: 1

    I guess I must've missed the part where my STABLE release of 1.0.7 (susceptible to the exploit) automatically updated itself to the BETA 1.5...

  9. Re:Pffft...Mormons on Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    How true. The best way to show your respect for someone is to ignore them. I guess Bush was just showing everyone how much he respects poor people and black people with his response to Katrina. (Yes, I am specifically referring to HIS response. Getting off your ass and returning from vacation in a time of crisis is the sign of someone who gives a shit.)

    Hey dipshit. Wake up! This is like me saying "I'm running Vista. Why are they bothering posting information on XP exploits?"

  11. Pffft...Mormons on Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Card, the editor-in-chief, has stayed true to his ideals: quality stories, author's rights, and trust in people's honesty.

    Pffft. Leave it to a Mormon to actually implement a business model that respects the work's creator...

    (I just spent last week in SLC. Can't say I agree with a lot of their views, but they are a very nice bunch of people.)

  12. Re:This looks like the original data (link enclose on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 1

    Oh, brilliant! Link to a government site for info on a pot study...

  13. mind expansion on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 1

    Kinda gives a new meaning to the term mind expanding.

  14. 'gait' on Future Cell Phone Knows You By Your Walk · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...and if the 'gait' doesn't match...

    There's really no need to put the word gait in quotes. The definition of the word fits exactly with how they're using it. Maybe we should start randomly putting other perfectly cromulent words in quotes. Let me continue with the rest of that sentence:
    ...and if the 'gait' doesn't match a pre-established 'biometric' the 'phone' would require a 'password' to 'operate.'

  15. VeriSign sample numbers on Credit Card Required To View 'M' Rated Information · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, the sample credit card numbers on the VeriSign page seem to work okay. I only tried a few, but they worked. And it only took a few seconds of googling to come up with those.

  16. Re:Explain this "new" math to me... on Weta Digital Grows Cluster · · Score: 1

    I think they were referring to amount of power drawn by the system...

  17. Re:Computer Shopper on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    [picks random edition of eWeek off the stack of unread IT rags] Even in this relatively content-heavy magazine, 26 of 58 pages are ads.

    And how much was that subscription to eWeek? What's that? They're giving it to you for free??? How could they possibly do that? Hmmm...I wonder...

  18. Re:In my experience... on Pay-Per-View to Provide DVD After Viewing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems that PPV comes out maybe a month after the DVD release, which really isn't that long a time. Not everyone watches the calendar and rushes out to buy movies the day they're released.

  19. Re:MS Virtual PC blogger talks about it here: on Microsoft Adopts Virtual Licenses · · Score: 1

    You gotta love this comment from his post about running Starcraft under VPC:

    It turns out that they had just assumed that this program wouldn't run and failed it without actually testing it.

    Yes folks, this is how thorough the team that does application compatibility testing at Microsoft is. (If you don't feel like clicking the link, Starcraft runs just fine, but the testing team failed it without even trying it.)

  20. Re:So does that mean... on Good bye Dark Matter, Hello General Relativity · · Score: 3, Funny

    But what are the implications for light matter then?

    Gotta love this little bit from the end of TFA: Picture credit: John C Dvorak

    Yes folks, this bird was intended for everyone's favorite tech pundit.

  22. Re:Audiophile pish on TCP/IP Speakers · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the magnets in the speakers affect the orientation of the bits as they travel through the wire? There's gotta be something that can take care of this little problem...

  24. Re:So, let me get this straight on Creating a Functional Network for a Radio Station? · · Score: 1

    Wow! Assuming you are the original poster, YOU ARE A COMPLETE ASS! You don't provide information, then jump down other people's throats when they make assumptions which are totally reasonable considering you're asking such a basic question overall. Quite honestly, you don't deserve any help from these people. Be grateful you're getting advice at all.

  25. Re:I got modded down for saying this last week on When to Leave That First Tech Job · · Score: 1

    Being in the upper 50% of people by intelligence simply means that you're smarter (not necessarily by a large amount) than the 50% of people in the lower half.
