  1. Re:Er.. on Microsoft Will Allow Vista Reinstalls · · Score: 1

    But have you had to use your last resort? I've had to do a reinstall a couple of times. I'm glad MS is allowing us to reinstall software we paid for.

  2. Re:correction on Microsoft Considers Pulling Out of China · · Score: 1

    Damn 97%! China sounds like the place to be for consumers.

  3. Re:Search, Gmail, Google Earth, Picasa ... on Google Winning By Losing? · · Score: 1

    Yahoo has a lot of good things going for it, but unfortunately they don't focus enough on one particular one to make it great. I for one enjoy their Photos, which is unlimited space and you can store the photos at original size. All for free. I've yet to see anyone else do this. Good place to back up photos for free.

    There's proof that the patriot act has made us safer? Where?

    That still won't change how much testosteroine you and your kid will have.

  7. Re:Could it be... on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 1

    I would hate to be your kid. Comes home with a black eye and your response is, "Damn I've got an pussified American son."

    If being an asshole is part of having a healthy amount of testosterone, then go sit in traffic all day and enjoy your testosterone.

  8. Re:Sad Co-incidence on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    So don't use firefox if I go to Youtube because they don't work together. What other sites should I avoid if I'm using firefox.

  9. Re:I can see it now on New Solar Panel Technology Gaining Momentum · · Score: 0

    I thought the parent was referring to solar powered vibrators. Am I wrong?

  10. Re:The 9 Reasons on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Though some of the extensions don't work, firefox is checking each time I open it to see if those extensions have been upgraded for me. Then it will ask me if I want to upgrade them. Hell yes I say. I still got a couple to go, but that isn't Firefoxes fault. When 3.0 comes out I'm sure the extension will be a problem again, but I'll most likely still be using firefox over IE

  11. Re:Sad Co-incidence on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I've had one crash so far. I was on Youtube and trying to watch Danzig get punched in the face. When I paused the video the browser crashed. I reported, but when I tried to duplicate the problem I couldn't. I still sent in the bug report. No crashes or problems since then.

  12. I've always thought /. was plain looking . . . on Slashdot's Vastu · · Score: 1

    But I don't come here to look at a pretty site, I come here for the articles.

    And the links to pretty site.

  13. The Extras I would like with my CD on EMI Exec Says 'The Music CD is Dead' · · Score: 1

    I would like an MP3 player to come with it. I would really like soundtracks to come free with the DVDs. What about just adding them to those DVD's that have the CD on one side. I would really just like to see the price of CD's come down. Why is it still the same price from 15 years ago?

  14. Re:What's the big deal with wireless? on Next Generation of iPods to have Wi-Fi? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Most /. users probably wouldn't use the feature that much, but luckily for Apple, theres a mass of suckers out there who can't stop downloading their songs by the pound. What better way to get some money is for those people to be able to download the songs, while away from their computer, like while at the mall after browsing through a music store.

  15. Re:They are having trouble... on Nintendo Profits Up 72%, Sony's Down 94% · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen an ad for Wii as well.

  16. Re:Prior art on Moore's Law For Razor Blades? · · Score: 1

    I was going to mention this. This came out around the time of the 3 blade I believe. I remember when the 4 blade razors came out, I thought about this skit, then the 5 blade came out and I was like "OMG MAD TV sees into the future!" minus the gore. Good find on the video.

  17. Re:The irony on New Campaign Tactic - Google Bombing · · Score: 1

    I say limit the amount of ads a politician can have. I say 2 TV ads and that's it. And it has to be made by a third party with a budget of $6000. That includes the value of the camera, equipment, and crew. If you own the camera, then the value of it is factored in as well, so you better not use a news camera or fancy lights. I say let the government handle the ads, that way there is a ton of paperwork to fill out.

    If voters are really interested in a candidate then they will get off their butts and research the politician instead of going by a TV ad.

    I was wondering why it was black also. Blue would have made more sense.

    Don't forget to add the parent to your foes list as well. That will learn him good.

  20. Re:greater or lesser evil on Google Under Fire Over Racist Blogs · · Score: 1

    It reminds me of the 50's when you didn't agree with someone you'd call them a communist.

    This still happens today.

  21. London on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    I would like to live in London. It was great when my wife and me visited. What stopping me is that 1) America has it's problems, but it's not to the point of leaving, I still like it here 2) I don't have the money or job to move there 3) My dogs would have to go into quarantine for like 6 months. If we moved to London it wouldn't be because we wanted to get away from America, it would be because one of us got a really great job there.

  22. Re:Would they search a video ipod? on Laptops Searched and Confiscated at U.S. Border · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oddly enough the laptops get convinscated when the border patrol has a birthday or anniversary coming up. They call it the Homeland Security Special Discount.

  24. Re:Half Steps? on Firefox 2 Launch - Interview With Chris Beard · · Score: 1

    A half step would be never putting your foot down. Once you put your foot down, you complete the step. So 1.5 was a never complete 2, I guess.

    People around the world need to realize that US Citizens and the US Government are two different things. Ideally the US Citizens should control the US Government, but realistically we don't. If you think it is so easy, then become a US Citizen or better yet a US Politician and help change it. By the way millions of US Citizens help people in other countries all the time, but without the help of our government it makes the process take longer.
