  1. Re:Why? on How to Turn Your PC into a Mac · · Score: 0, Redundant

    There is nothing wrong with either XP's or Vista's look and feel.

    Are you sure?

  2. Re:Slashdot gmail on What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't forget the "I am willing to test Gmail's new mail interface" checkbox that brings up a clusterfuck of an interface designed by a retarded 11 year old. Although, admittedly, it has improved since they first put the checkbox there.

  3. Re:Hm.. on What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ummm, that was exactly the joke that the article ended with: Coming up tomorrow: "What if Microsoft had designed Windows Vista." Stay tuned!

  4. Re:It's not the Linux GPL on Stalwarts Claim Asus eeePC Violates GPL · · Score: 1

    To be even more pedantic, the use of apostrophe-s or just an apostrophe is purely a matter of style. Some style guides say do it one way, some say do it the other, while still others say do it this way unless it looks awkward, in which case do it the other way.

  5. Re:Don't Worry on Russian Police Seize Kasparov · · Score: 4, Funny

    We can only assume he was comparing it to his own, in which case Putin's is excellent.

  6. Re:Yeah but what if... on Online Nicknames Google better than Real? · · Score: 2, Funny

    your nickname is, say, quite common ?

    I don't see too much problem with that. Although I am a bit disturbed that the Wikipedia entry for Indian Massacres comes up as the second hit.

  7. Google turned me down on Online Nicknames Google better than Real? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I interviewed with Google once, but for some reason they turned me down...

  8. Re:This isn't an attack on Expert Unveils 'Scary' VoIP Hack · · Score: 1

    Just make sure to add the "This call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes" thing to each conversation. : p

  9. Re:Songs by "The Original Artists" on Guitar Hero Maker Sued - Cover Song Too Awesome · · Score: 1

    That's like that band One Night Only getting all those amazing gigs everywhere...

  10. Re:This works for me on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 1

    You can skip paying for number 3 and instead use binsearch.info.

  11. Re:Go away, you're not 21 on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can you think of anything that under-21s can do that's as effective?

    Go to all ages shows. Even places that serve alcohol will put on earlier all ages shows if there's enough demand.

  12. college radio on How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Listen to college radio stations, which is a whole lot easier now thanks to the internet. No, it's not all indie rock. Most stations have a wide variety of specialty shows, so you can become exposed to lesser known bands in nearly any genre--bluegrass, folk, country, j-pop, classical, avant garde/experimental, hip hop, dance, etc etc etc. And when their pledge drives come around, make a donation and support them!

  13. Re:Well, duh. on Worry Over VZW, Sprint Phones' 911 Alarm · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why not just put a "blind person mode" on the phone (probably with a more PC name)?

    You mean a name like "Vista"?

  14. Re:Amazing on Man Sized Sea Scorpion Fossil Found · · Score: 1

    Ahh, thank you for that. Yes, my pony:horse example was purely meant as an analogy, not as an actual example.

  15. Re:Drobo? on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    Read up a bit on it. At this point it's very clear that it'll take 500GB drives with no problem. A simple search should be able to confirm 750GB and 1TB drives. Considering it's SATA I/II it should take any drives that come out in the next few years. Not to mention it's firmware upgradable.

  16. Re:W*ndoze? on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely right. For a long time now it's been Windows*

  17. Re:Drobo? on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    I've heard very good things about the Drobo. Plus it's got lots of purty blinkenlights. I'm sure there are probably better DIY solutions, but this is likely one of the quickest/easiest.

  18. Re:Yes, but on Man Sized Sea Scorpion Fossil Found · · Score: 1

    I bet it tastes good with a little MSG.

  19. Re:Amazing on Man Sized Sea Scorpion Fossil Found · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Nobody does. It's believed that the last ice age killed off many larger versions of creatures that are very similar to what we have today. Think pony:horse comparisons, but where our modern day horses were considered the "ponys".

  20. eurypterids on Man Sized Sea Scorpion Fossil Found · · Score: 1

    Irypterids, eurypterids, werypterids. Bet they got some tasty tails.

  21. Re:And Opera on Comparing Memory Usage of Firefox 2 vs 3 · · Score: 0

    Sorry, the same 12 pages with a 5 minute wait...

  22. Re:And Opera on Comparing Memory Usage of Firefox 2 vs 3 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm assuming you loaded the exact same 5 pages with the same ads that the ZDnet testers did?

  23. Re:I hope they all quit! on AT&T Calls Telecommuters Back To the Cubicle · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how much that many data lines cost? It's not like AT&T can just get a bulk discount on them or anything...

  24. another slashdot "editing" moment on Samsung Caught Bribing Government Officials · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is another one of those slashdot moments that could easily be fixed with a bit of that pesky "editing" that the editors around here seem to loathe. Nearly every comment I'm reading talks about how the government official was corrupt, but a simple read of the article shows that he in fact REFUSED the bribe. There is no hypocrisy there--he is in charge of monitoring bribery in the government, Samsung attempted to bribe him, he refused it and is now using their attempt in a government case against Samsung. That is EXACTLY what he's supposed to be doing!

  25. Re:Consistency is Not Irony on Samsung Caught Bribing Government Officials · · Score: 1

    That's the ironic part -- it turns out that a presidential monitor against corruption was indeed corrupt!

    And if you'd bother to RTFA, you'd see that the presidential monitor against corruption was not corrupt at all--he's one of the people saying that Samsung tried to bribe him, but that he refused it. Which means that there is no irony at all, since the guy who's against corruption proves himself not to be corrupt.
