  1. Re:Learn CSS on Freelance Web Developer Best Practices? · · Score: 1

    It would be pretty hard to make YouTube without flash (and not suck). Just sayin' those aren't hard rules.

    I certainly do agree that flash for the sake of flash is a terrible sin.

  2. Re:I'm a functional programmer, but... on Time to Get Good At Functional Programming? · · Score: 1

    I guess that makes you a non-functional programmer, huh?

  3. Re:Liquid cooling? on First Superconducting Transistor Created · · Score: 1

    Whooosh!

  4. I find that splitting on Red Flag Linux Forced On Chinese Internet Cafes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    up comments is confusing.

  5. Re:Herd Immunity on Apple Quietly Recommends Antivirus Software For Macs · · Score: 1

    I have to say that many admins also do not have a clue what they're doing.

  6. Re:Partially an old had... on An Optimized GUI Based On Users' Abilities · · Score: 1

    I just want to know how you "can basically combine all control elements (buttons, sliders, menus, labels) into one thing" :)

  7. Re:Sigh on iPhones, FStream and the Death of Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points!

  8. Re:Partially an old had... on An Optimized GUI Based On Users' Abilities · · Score: 1

    Why not release it now, in it's incomplete state, and let open source work it's magic? See if the community could help you.

  9. Re:And who cares? on Proprietary Blobs and the Pursuit of a Free Kernel · · Score: 1

    Thankfully, they have the freedom to do that.

  10. Re:That's no moon! on Dropped Shuttle Toolbag Filmed From Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, it's a tarp!

  11. Re:Science Journalism Critique FAIL on Anti-Matter Created By Laser At Livermore · · Score: 1

    Gee, I wonder who that was posting as AC!

  12. Re:C/C++ Trojan Horse on Adobe Releases C/C++ To Flash Compiler · · Score: 1

    Isn't flash just java with a bunch of graphics libraries?

  13. Re:To Steve on Apple's New MacBooks Have Built-In Copy Protection · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought it was those BSD monkeys. Though Linux guys will be smug when they're done compiling, I'm sure.

  14. Re:Coming up in 6 months on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Huh. The Unix epoch time for 32-bit numbers will be occurring is about 30 years as well. Co-incidence?

  15. Re:Let me be the first to say... on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    2 seconds is barely more than 20 frames on YouTube. That's barely a video :\

  16. Re:Science Journalism Critique FAIL on Anti-Matter Created By Laser At Livermore · · Score: 1

    None the less, the statement still reads as ambiguous with article or without. One can only draw the correct meaning from the statement if you already know "antimatter" and "positrons" aren't equivalent terms.

    Er, if you didn't know that, is it really in the reporters place to give a lecture to the reader on anti-matter? I think that tidbit was just for the knowledgeable. I agree with grandparent: you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

  17. Re:Holy Mackerel! on Anti-Matter Created By Laser At Livermore · · Score: 1

    I love how you're right because if you're wrong, no one would be alive to say anything about it.

  18. Re:Silverlight on Adobe Releases Preview of 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    Make it open source so that the small user bases can support themselves. Community support can be quite good.

  19. Recursion on 16 Interviews With Linux Kernel Hackers · · Score: 1

    I love how the first result on that page is your comment with a link to those results.
    My mind just exploded.

  20. Re:The flip-side on Independent Dev Reports Over 80% Piracy Rate On DRM-Free Game · · Score: 1

    Uhm, the linux version of World of Goo is currently in beta, and the windows version runs well in Wine.

  21. Re:Only sane conclusion on Independent Dev Reports Over 80% Piracy Rate On DRM-Free Game · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, 2D Boys post says they recognize that for every 1000 pirates, they would be lucky for 1 sale. They do realize that piracy != lost sales.

  22. Re:bellows and a nozzle? on Mars Rover Spirit Still Alive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why can't they just flip the panels over?

  23. Re:Google FTW on The Shady Business Practices of Classmates.com · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ssshhh stop telling everyone. If everyone started using adblock, I'd have to start paying for Slashdot.

  24. Re:Wired slideshow on The Best Fictional Doomsday Devices · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe we should get a "Stupid (useful) things to do with fictional doomsday devices" discussion. You know, condense it.

  25. Re:Heh... It's using the Hibernate functionality.. on Boot Windows Vista In Four Seconds · · Score: 1

    Shutdown time is important because I have to wait until it shuts down completely before closing it, else it'll suspend and then resume shutting down when I'm trying to boot it up.

    That doesn't sound like the intended effect, and I would file a bug report.
