  1. Re:Ambilight is... on Philips Recalls Almost 12,000 Flat Panel TVs · · Score: 1

    I think it looks like a ricer feature. Like you, I turn the lights off, but I do it to get the theatrical effect. When simply using my computer or watching normal TV, I keep the lights on so the contrast isn't so blinding.

    Still, whatever makes you a few extra bucks a pop, right?

  2. Re:What I don't get... on WinXP on a Mac, Hoax? · · Score: 1

    The purpose of the contest isn't to answer the question, "why would someone run this on that," but rather, "can this be run on that?"

  3. Re: How Many Desktop PCs Can One Server Replace? on Quad PCIe Motherboard · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Windows doesn't support 26 displays (the limit is more around 8).

  4. Re:Awesome, but not so unique on 17 Year Old Creates Flickr Competitor · · Score: 1

    ...it's a website that lets you post pictures and make comments about them.

    Don't we already have one of those?

  5. Re:Answer on What is UNIX, Anyway? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn'd that make it Ung instead?

  6. Re:Strict schedules suck. Example: Microsoft Tuesd on Mark Shuttleworth Proposes Delaying next Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I think Patrick Volkerding has taught us well.

  7. Re:Use less energy or kill all (some) humans on 'No Quick Fix' From Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    At 6.5 billion people, I think the former should go down. After all, isn't our planet overpopulated as it is?

  8. CGI video. on Alien Rain Over India · · Score: 1

    For some reason, this makes me think of that one CGI sequence with the seeds that fall on a planet, grow and shoot more seeds out into space. Anyone know the name?

  9. Minority. on 5% of All Web Traffic Unsafe · · Score: 1

    5% constitutes as a minority, and not following the crowd is cool. So, if I put a boob ob my website, can I be cool by not following the crowd?

  10. Re:what was that saying... on Skype 5-way Calling Limit Cracked · · Score: 1

    "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

  11. Re:Hefty Kick? on Robotic 'Pack Mule' with Impressive Reflexes · · Score: 1

    "Damn this thing! It'll never be useful!" *kick* "Hey, look at that!"

  12. Re:The open source fad will die on Open Season On Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Real programmers program in assembly, right?

  13. That's it. on No Backdoor in Vista · · Score: 0

    I'm moving my software and "various videos and images" onto my Slackware server. reiserfs is virtually unbreakable by the fuzz.

  14. Off switch? on In Praise of Constant Connectivity · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If there's anything electronic in my room made after 2000, it doesn't have an off switch, merely a power cable and a "soft" power button.

  15. Re:0.4mm a year.... on NASA Study Shows Antarctic Ice Sheet Shrinking · · Score: 1

    "There are known knowns and known unknowns. There are also unknown unknowns: things we don't know that we don't know."

  16. Old? on Jupiter Gets New Red Spot · · Score: 1

    Oval BA first appeared in the year 2000 when three smaller spots collided and merged.

    That would make this article six years late?

  17. Re:Doesn't work most of the time from what i've se on Symantec Users, Start Your Keyloggers · · Score: 1

    Specifically, it's caught by the Intrusion Detection System, a part of Norton Internet Ssecurity.

  18. Re:That's funny... on Symantec Users, Start Your Keyloggers · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Victim. on Symantec Users, Start Your Keyloggers · · Score: 1

    I'd also like to add that this was fixed like, a week or two ago. I thought Slashdot was only 24 hours behind...

  20. Victim. on Symantec Users, Start Your Keyloggers · · Score: 1

    This happened to me the night it was "revealed." Appearently I had gotten kicked out of freenode about 20 or so times (because my client is set to rejoin), and I found myself banned in about half of the channels. It's all cleaned up now, though. Needless to say, it was the final nail in the coffin for me.

  21. Re:a "MUST UPGRADE"? on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 1

    Of course you need it. It's a new Microsoft product. You don't want to get left behind, do you?

    Funny or insightful, your choice.

  22. VMWare-aware virus. on VMware's Ultimate Virtual Appliance Challenge · · Score: 3, Insightful

    After observing that W32.Mytob didn't run under Windows 95, I read up Symantec's page on it. Appearently, it can figure out if it's running in VMWare, and terminates if it does. I consider that inventive on the writer's part.

  23. Re:To beat the iPod... on Samsung Steals the Brain Behind the iPod · · Score: 1

    It's not just about the iPod. iPod has powerful friends in iTunes and iTMS.

    I have a friend who has an iPod, only because he got one for Christmas. After observing said friend for the past few months, it's become appearent to me that iTunes is almost as important as the iPod itself. All of a sudden, not only could he download some select songs (maybe there's only one good song from some artist's album), he could easily send those songs right to his iPod. Wham bam thank you ma'am.

  24. Living in California. on Interview with California Air Resources Board CIO · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Nothing reminds me of living in California more than seeing the smog cast over Sacramento and Roseville as I descend down i80 commuting to college.

  25. One billion served? on iTunes, One Billion Suckers Served? · · Score: 1

    That's more served in less time than McDonalds. What does THAT tell you about society?
