  1. Re:Ugh, please don't block file types... on New Flavour of Spam - MP3 Stock Scams · · Score: 1

    Our mail system blocks zips. Even if they're empty. I know. I tried.

  2. Logo on Slashdot 10-Year Anniversary Charity Auction for the EFF · · Score: 1

    The EFF really needs a new logo.

  3. Re:It's the UI that makes it on Blender Compared To the Major 3D Applications · · Score: 1

    I used to hate Blender's UI. Then I worked thru a tutorial on it and played with it some. I started actually wanting some other programs to have similar interfaces. Sure, its not like everything you're used to, but that could be a good thing if it makes you more productive.

  4. And Web developers are mad on Vodafone Move Invites Web Development Chaos · · Score: 1

    "And Web developers are mad"

    You're telling me. Oh, wait, you meant the other kind of mad. Nevermind

  5. Re:The memory bug is also a CPU hogging bug. on Firefox Working to Fix Memory Leaks · · Score: 1

    "However, using Opera is not as comfortable because of poor design decisions in Opera"

    Ok, as an Opera user, I've got to know: which poor design decisions are you referring to? Is it lack of extensions or the GUI or something else?

  6. Total Annihilation on The Linux Identity Crisis · · Score: 1

    Do civil wars ever lead to "total annihilation"? Don't the survivors end up rebuilding?

  7. Re:OT: Purpose of the subject line on Less Than 2 Percent of UK Companies Have Upgraded Windows · · Score: 1

    I used to think that too. But I guess I've just gotten used to it here. I'd mod you up, but I don't have any points.

  8. Re:Procurement on Australia Cracked US Combat Aircraft Codes · · Score: 1

    "I hate the fact I cant use the F18 I bought on Ebay to shoot down Asia Pacific Rim based Aircraft.."

    Only on Slashdot would that comment get modded "Insightful".

  9. Re:Brilliance on NBC to Offer Free Video Download Service · · Score: 1

    If it was all about money, there are quite a few shows that wouldn't have been canceled when they were.

  10. Travel requirements on Your Chance to be an Astronaut · · Score: 1

    From the job description:

    The open positions require extensive travel on Earth and in space. Possible destinations may include, but are not limited to, Texas, Florida, California, Russia, Kazakhstan, the International Space Station and the moon.

  11. Need another law on End of Moore's Law in 10-15 years? · · Score: 1

    Someone should make a law about how often people speculate how long Moore's law will last.

  12. Summary on Most Science Studies Tainted by Sloppy Analysis · · Score: 2, Funny
    So, to sum it up for the Slashdot audience:

    • Global warming isn't happening
    • Pluto IS a planet
      and
    • Han shot first
  13. Re:The metre must be shrinking then... on Kilogram Reference Losing Weight · · Score: 1

    The problem I've always had with that is it's so hard to measure the speed of light. I mean, come on, I just need to know how big my living room is so I can order new carpet.

  14. Re:What does this have to do with AT&T? on FCC Says Analog TV Lives Until 2012 · · Score: 1

    "Mod me as you will, but you know you're thinking the same thing."

    You're thinking Arbys too? Wow!

  15. No on Does 802.11n Spell the 'End of Ethernet'? · · Score: 1

    No, it spells "802.11n"

  16. Re:Not really a quote on Canadian Bureaucrats Don't "Think Different" · · Score: 1

    They don't even have to be removed. They could just be covered with some Apple advertising.

  17. Silly on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they would have fixed it if it had been purchased with Windows XP and then upgraded to Vista.

    Besides, did they even need to turn it on to fix a hinge?

  18. Taco on DOS 5 Upgrade Video · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Every now and then I stumble on something so ridiculous that I have to share it."

    Nah, too easy.

  19. Re:Maybe not completely anti-linux. on Xbox Live Disallows Linux, Unix As Keywords · · Score: 1

    "I predict your story will hit the front page by the top of the hour"

    No, no. You're thinking about Digg. Here at slashdot, we have to wait for the dupes to go thru before we get a new story.

  20. Re:Morons. on Microsoft Forces Shutdown of Autopatcher · · Score: 1


    "We don't care. We don't have to. We're the OS company."

  21. Re:How much? on How Much Does a New Internet Cost? · · Score: 1

    "You think the distance from one end of Seoul to other is long way?"

    I used to think that too. But then I realised that the telcoms have had YEARS to expand their networks and haven't done it. Think about it: the internet became popular in the mid-1990s. They've seen this coming for over ten years and still haven't done much.

  22. Re:US vs THEM on Robert Cailliau Talks With WikiNews · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's not like the US invented the internet or the protocols and just give them away or anything.

  23. I think... on Voyager Spacecraft Celebrate 30th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    ...it's time we send out some more.

  24. Re:Is YouTube really an appropriate platform? on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Rejecting a major theory with a century-and-a-half of observational and experimental evidence behind it in favor of a ludicrous Biblical interpretation"

    Isn't that like when people thought the Earth was flat, despite the Bible saying it was round? ('The circle of the Earth')

  25. evolution on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 1

    You seem to be assuming that everyone who reads slashdot believes in evolution.
