  1. Re:Dock/Taskbar design on OS Performance — Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10 · · Score: 1

    Orly? You DO know that the it was called the "system tray" up until Windows XP, don't you? It was even instantiated by a process called systray.exe. Even MSDN is littered with its own references to it being the "system tray", like here.

    Raymond Chen says:

    Why do some people call the taskbar the "tray"? Short answer: Because they're wrong.

    And so are you.

    Mod Parent Up! I wish I had points right now.

  3. "Razer has a great reputation" on Razer's New Mouse Optimized for MMO and RTS · · Score: 2, Funny

    Riiiiight....

    Phoronix still has yet to hear back from Razer Inc on whether they plan to port their drivers to Linux, release specifications, or do anything else to help the Linux community. http://phoronix.com/?page=news_item&px=MTQ1Nw==

  4. Re:Slashdot Under Siege.... on Evolution Named Scientific Achievement of 2005 · · Score: 1

    And don't think that atheism isn't a faith

    Right, and not collecting stamps is a hobby. ;-)

  5. Re:Inventor? Or Mad Scientist? on The Mind of an Inventor · · Score: 1

    Wired carried an article a few months back on Applied Minds. It's funny that the article likens Hillis to Willy Wonka, so you're probably not the only person that got that impression. ;-)

  6. Starforce on LGP Opens Beta Test for X2 · · Score: 1

    Although I checked out the windows release of X2 when it was new, and thought it looked awesome, I refused to buy it because it contained Starforce. Starforce is a particularly insidious copy protection tool that installs device drivers without the user's consent or knowledge. Read about it here http://www.glop.org/starforce/. My question is, will this Linux port contain similar garbage?
