  1. Re:The end of vendor lock-in for Microsoft? on Microsoft Spokesman Says ODF "Clearly Won" Standard War · · Score: 1, Troll

    No. That's the problem. ODF wont mean squat if it doesn't become the default format. Because no one will bother "Saving As..." to ODF before publishing documents.

    This should be a hint that NOBODY REALLY CARES.

    No, .NET 3.0 is merely .NET Framework 2.0 with an enhanced class libraries. .NET 3.5 actually brings new versions of VB.NET and C# and a new version of the Framework (3.5).

    They didn't "remove an anti-scientology link", they've removed numerous video's and closed accounts on Scientology's request, while at the same time taking sponsorship money from them AND giving them a special YT channel AND letting them breach the same ToS fragments the other accounts were closed for. Dual standards.

    I am saddened by Shawn's death as much as any other person should be, but I feel obliged to point out that Shawn had a troubled personality, and even people from the Old Guard who knew him personally don't seem to be too surprised about the suicide. I think this is suspicious as much as you do but I think the only way to get justice done is to make sure you've got everything right.

    Isn't using Vista for those reasons a bit like being really proud of the great big bolted gate that is sure to keep intruders away, while your fence consists of grass and your house is next to the ultramodern nuclear bunker with built in natural habitat simulation that you have free access to and is frequented by hot women? If by this analogy you mean that Linux is frequented by hot women then wow. Just wow. :-)

    NoScript is good, and I use it, but it's far from sufficient to secure the browser against script-based attacks.
    I agree. That's why browser makers need to focus on writing secure code. Microsoft has proven time and time again that they are most certainly NOT up to the task. That must be why this vulnerability does not result in code execution on Vista. Didn't you mean to write 'Micro$oft'?

  11. Re:US jury system does it again on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    When police officers located Hans Reiser's vehicle, it was missing one passenger seat, had an inch of standing water in the bottom, and contained two books about police murder investigations, as well as a sleeping bag cover stained with a 6 inch clog of Nina's blood. Reiser himself was found with a fanny pack containing his passport and $9,000 when he was interrogated by police during an early stage of the investigation.

    Allow me to one-up your one-up. There was some serious personal war going on between Cain and Abel in the election for Best Shepard in the Early Universe.

    Bashing one's opponent has clearly been there since the VERY beginning.

    What I find more shocking is not that they do it, but that they've been doing this for YEARS without ANY worthwhile repercussion from the Western world they've been bonding with. They know Economy doesn't care about Ethics.

    Say WHAT?! American Dad is MILES better than Family Guy. No offense, but perhaps you should actually watch more than 2 episodes of a show before commenting on it.

    MSFT shares are up 3% today after another strong rise yesterday, after announcing their financial results and outlook. Yeah, I noticed that on MSN Money when I was running at the gym last night. The reason they cited that was strong Vista sales. That's not what I've heard on Slashdot. Welcome to Slashdot. You must be new here.

    Just so we're clear, you can make Pikachu evolve into Raichu by using the Thunder Stone (which makes sense, since they're Electric Pokémon). However, due to the emotional value Pikachu has to trainers, most of them choose not to evolve him. Some Pokémon games even plain don't allow this. I hope this was helpful.
