  1. Re:What is being reviewed here? on Beryl User Interface for Linux Reviewed · · Score: 0

    No kidding. Very clumsy article summary.

  2. Re:Firefox's search box is bad UI design on Yahoo! Releases Firefox version of Toolbar · · Score: 1, Informative

    Or even Control-K.

  3. Re:Flakey on Microsoft Offers A Peek At New Search Engine · · Score: 0

    I searched for "gravy".

    google: Results 1 - 10 of about 944,000
    new ms search: 0. There is no gravy on the internet.

  4. Re:Headers on SCO Invokes DMCA, Names Headers, Novell Steps In · · Score: 0

    So SCO is claiming ownership of a bunch of #define, #ifdef, #ifndef, and struct statements. What happened to the millions of lines of code that Linux was infringing on? Maybe they're counting every place those macros are used.

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    use strict;
    print("Hello,");
    print(" World.");
    print("\n");

    This seems to work fine for me. Was this in perl4 or something?

  7. Re:Spank you very much, Jamie on Yahoo Knuckles Under · · Score: 1

    Minor addendum: I didn't mean in any way to belittle 'ls' or the authors/contributors of it. Sorry 'bout that.

  8. Re:Spank you very much, Jamie on Yahoo Knuckles Under · · Score: 2

    Isn't that what capitalism is all about? How about self-moderation? Isn't the idea that "if you don't like how it's done, do it yourself" a good one? Why not argue that "Linus won't accept my patches, and neither will Alan! What next, the folks who wrote 'ls' won't accept my patches?"

  9. Re:easy on the eyes on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    Blue women with scales are fine as long as they're not kicking me like that. It's hard to fight someone like that when you're trying to hide an erection.

  10. Re:To Mr. Katz and Slashdot webmasters. . . on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    Agreed, please let us filter "Author" and "Contributed To" and "About" and "Mentioned In"... maybe then we can finally forget this schlep.

  11. Re:Short Stories on Sci Fi Literature 101? · · Score: 1
    Agreed! Any used book store worth its salt should have a varied collection of short story anthologies by author, original publication, and "year's best" stuff. I highly recommend any of the _Universe_#_ series. Don't be scared off by goofy looking covers, those are usually the best.
    Specific Authors:
    • Lawrence Watt-Evans
    • James H. Schmitz
    • Urula K. Le Guin (A Wizard of Earthsea)
    • Larry Niven (Neutron Star is good)
    • David Brin (River of Time, The Postman)
    • Clifford Simak
    • Theodore Sturgeon

    A subscription to Analog is probably a good idea.
  12. Movies => Katz? on Jon Katz' "Geeks" Goes Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't this be under Katz instead of Movies? How many topics am I gonna have to block out?
