  1. Re:Mes Ami slashdotter on Nike and Google launch Joga.com · · Score: 1

    Well its a world cup year so I'm sure we can all sit down and get along

  2. How do you pronounce that? on Nike and Google launch Joga.com · · Score: 1

    Yoga? Joe-ga? Least make it something easy to spell please folks otherwise its going to get very confusion...

  3. Re:What? on Marvel and DC Enforce "Superhero" Trademark · · Score: 1

    You have to also patent the idea of wearing underwear on the outside just for that full effect. It opens a whole new segment of the market as well

  4. Well taking the site is /. on No New Series of Futurama · · Score: 0

    I can't RTFA so I will go for wild speculation instead. So will the movies see them finding that Fry is his own great great grandfather and his father in that Fry is actually God by being the only man to reproduce himself?

    Will Leela and Fry finally get it together and have 3 eyed offspring?

    Will Zoidberg actually smell nice?

    Will is be a straight to DVD heap of trash ( really hope not )

  5. You can only test so much... on Early Adopters Experiencing More Bugs? · · Score: 1

    ...end users will always find a new and exciting way of breaking your product or using it in a way that is wasn't designed for so these issues have to be engineered out. Now if only it would be possible to do over the air upgrades of capacitors etc :)

  6. Well if I plead here... on Silicon Valley Firms Having Cash Showers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dear Mr Nice VC Person,
      Please send all your money to the email address on this post and we will give you lots of love

    Thanks

    Bob

  7. Re:Standards and Bueller, both missing. on Internet Explorer Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Firefox IMHO is a much better user expierence with tabs (once you get use to the idea) and having a little search box. Ignroing the power features that users like (greasemoney,scripts etc) it just works. However for most Windows customers when they switch on the PC for the first time there is thebig blue E and off they go surfing. It also "just works" so why should they look for something extra? Most people don't know/realise the holes in IE and just click randomly. Until there is a fundemental change is user education its going to be a very slow battle to get domiance (and the "standards" it implies) from IE

  8. Worth Listening to hist PodCast on Creative Commons License Upheld by Dutch Court · · Score: 1

    http://www.dailysourcecode.com/ where I'm sure there will be some audio feedback

  9. Re:Makes Sony look good on No HD-DVD Movies Until April · · Score: 1

    How went out and bought a £250 DVD player and Mars Attacks when it first came out? I know I did as I like to be on the cutting edge (Though I have a bit more sence now days) however there will be people who want to get this and they will be the hard core audience so prehaps it might be suprising to see what sort of feedback they give

  10. Re:Easiest way to deal with this in 2 easy steps on Judge Orders Deleted Emails Turned Over · · Score: 1

    3) Pick up the phone and speak to the person in morse code?

  11. What do you execpt for free? on Judge Orders Deleted Emails Turned Over · · Score: 1

    All the infos there in the terms and conditiosn ( which no one reads ) and then there is an uproar when people find out via the courts what is going on. If you want privacy run your own email system, download things from your ISP or rent your own server. Privacy comes from you being proactive, not hoping someone else doesn't hack into your gmail account.

  12. The things is you have a choice on Gnome 2.14 Review · · Score: 1

    Now I think Gnome and Kde are both good, and of course each have their fan base and its good to get things more mature a it will help people adopt Linux if they want to. However the one thing is that as they are both (very fancy) X11 Window Managers it means that if you don't like it you can just remove it and install it yourself. Personally I like WindowMaker as its blazing fast and for the way I work (where 95% of my things is console work) its great. Gnome / KDE can look nice but they do seem to just slow everything down a bit

  13. Re:Stupid Innuendo on Point and Click Cracking · · Score: 1

    Well some of us have learnt something but definitly an intresting thing to read about

  14. Re:Most of the problem is the users on Point and Click Cracking · · Score: 1

    Its probably about just wanting to get some free porn or whatever else is offered

  15. Re:Sure, why wouldn't it? on Point and Click Cracking · · Score: 0

    What about a PHP command line interface although not secure it would work..Also if you are using a PHP script do you always use https?

  16. Most of the problem is the users on Point and Click Cracking · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Most of the reasons PC's get hacked now days is that end users are still clicking on the links in phising emails and then holes in the browser being exploited. Surely it wouldn't take much for the main browser makers to put in a user idiocy filter to just say aren't you being a bit silly? Of course user education would be best but there will always be a certian newbie segment who are on the internet for the first time and will keep doing this. That software though does look pretty comprehensive

  17. Re:I really like the movie on The Story of Tron · · Score: 1

    Its the spirit of people like the OP that can make badish movies great. Tron pushed the boundaries and peoples imagination just like the first Matrix. Prehaps it is something you only get once per generation..

  18. Re:Easy answer on The Story of Tron · · Score: 2, Funny

    It works the same for us people in tech support. Users always seem to go one step further and break things

  19. Re:Easy answer on The Story of Tron · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Pretty film that flopped. Final Fantasy:- The Spirits Within. Looked nice but just was so very very boring. You can get something that looks nice (Toy Story) and still have a decent plot (Toy Story) and does well (Toy Story)

  20. Re:Where is our Pixar/Disney Sequal? on The Story of Tron · · Score: 5, Funny

    Prehaps the plot should be about the redux of the MCP trying to taking over the internet and enforce its own standards which everyone else has to confirm to ... Oh sorry that was Verisign wasn't it. OK What about a multi-national company that tries to get into every corner of your home to control the environment that has an evil overlord at the top... no sorry thats microsoft Right ok definitly good idea this time My Little Pony attack the Care Bares .... (goes off into a strange, caffine induced rant)

  21. Re:Easy answer on The Story of Tron · · Score: 1

    Thats exactly what my last boss said to me....hmm makes you wonder

  22. Re:Can anyone... on The Story of Tron · · Score: 1

    As the mantra goes there is no bad publicity..

  25. Re:Interesting Products... on Google Wins a Court Battle · · Score: 1
