  1. Granny Smith on Apple Gene for Red Color Found · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to have a red granny smith apple.

  2. Yay! on Charges Dropped In Fake Boarding Pass Case · · Score: 1

    Chalk one up for the citizens!

  3. NASA on Unpiloted Passenger Jet Tests · · Score: 1

    Did this a while back to test jet fuel in a crash scenario I believe.

  4. Re:Me..? on The Last Games You'd Play? · · Score: 1

    GREAT GAME! I would probably say Mario Bros. 3 for NES... or Contra for NES... or Vectorman for Sega Saturn... or Bionic Commando for NES - hell I can't decide. I hate hypothetical questions.

  5. Monitor Troubles on World's Largest Supercooled Magnet Activated · · Score: 1

    This explains why my monitor has several strange rainbow patterns on it.

  6. I'm Just a Stupid American on ICANN Under Pressure Over Non-Latin Characters · · Score: 1

    But all this will lead to is more domain hijacking and phishing... these people that are complaining about not having non-latin characters in a domain have just run out of domains to hijack.

  7. Re:Mark Cuban on Mark Cuban Declares War on GooTube · · Score: 1

    Thank You.

  8. Re:Mark Cuban on Mark Cuban Declares War on GooTube · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that outsourcing idea was a great one, now they're outsourcing themselves... oops.

    I don't see outsourcing lasting too long anyway, the quality of service you get from companies that outsource is very low and the customer service is lower.

    For your information, I'm from a small farm community in the mid-west and the stereotypes were no inaccurate because most of those jocks are still back home farming while I moved out on my own 3 days after graduating high school to pursue a degree halfway across the country.

    It also sounds like you haven't "grown" out of any of the asshole part.

  9. Mark Cuban on Mark Cuban Declares War on GooTube · · Score: 1

    I bet Mark Cuban was the stuck up jock asshole in high school. Funny, most of them become cops.

  10. And So It Begins... on Biggest IT Disaster Ever? · · Score: 1

    The battle between the US and European nations.

    The UK screwed up by spending X amount of money!

    Oh yeah? Well the US screwed up by spending Y amount of money!

    Will it ever end?

  11. Bacon vs Spam on Robot Identifies Human Flesh As Bacon · · Score: 1

    Hey... at least we don't taste like spam.

    Mod parent up and mod cid #16777217 flamebait!
  13. Re:Wrong, wrong, wrong! on Mahir To Borat, I Sue You! · · Score: 1

    I know, it's amazing those Jews are incredibly scary!!! You won't catch me eating kosher food at a bed and breakfast anytime soon. YIPES!

  14. Duh on 10 Reasons To Buy a DSLR · · Score: 1

    Tag this 'duh' because hasn't it always been obvious that an SLR is better than a point and shoot? I would honestly rather have a 35mm SLR than a digital point and shoot.

  15. Re:Frost post! on Research Supports "Snowball Earth" Hypothesis · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sorry just won't cut it mister!

  16. Re:Wrong, wrong, wrong! on Mahir To Borat, I Sue You! · · Score: 1

    I saw the movie last night, it's hysterical and people like you who say shame on comedy, I say shame on you. Why don't you try having fun for once instead of critically ANALyzing everything that isn't politically correct in the world. Just because I laugh at a skit about middle eastern people doesn't mean I'm racist, perhaps it's the person that doesn't laugh who is racist.

    Everything that Borat does is more OBVIOUSLY a joke on western society than eastern.

  17. This Just In... on Classified Wiki For U.S. Intelligence Community · · Score: 1

    President Bush was banned from Intellipedia for lack of... intelligence - more on this at 6.

  18. Transfer of Power on Will the U.S. Lose Control of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Taking the sole power from the US would definitely be a good thing, I can't see how freedom of speech would be compromised if any other country had power over the internet. Am I missing something or is the US just making excuses as usual?

  19. Browser Choice on Microsoft's IE Team Leader Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1

    I'm a web developer and I train people how to use the CMS we build and we always recommend they do changes to their website using Firefox. Most of the time when we train people they don't even KNOW what Firefox is, you try to explain that it is a browser and they look at you dumbfounded but when you tell them "it's like Internet Explorer, except more secure and faster" they understand.

    The point is, the average person doesn't even know that there are other browsers out there, they are just so used to using Internet Explorer and Windows that they can't really understand the concept of there being other browsers or even operating systems and to me, this is a problem. The problem isn't that they are using them really, the problem is that they don't know there are other options.

  20. Here? on Microsoft's IE Team Leader Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1
    I think there's a clear difference between the protection offered in IE7 and other places. I suggest readers look here and here and decide for themselves.
    I'm looking and all I see is 'here' and 'here'.
  21. Re:If your child is a Geek, reform through the Lor on Microsoft's Charles Simonyi to be 1st Nerd in Space · · Score: 1

    Let's face it, we're all nerds and/or geeks because:

    1. We're debating over the classification of nerds and geeks.
    2. The debate is taking place on ./ "News for nerds [and geeks]. Stuff that matters."

  23. Re:i remember when.... on Hell.com Domain Name Up For Sale · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, just get married ;).

  24. Re:Geography Skills on Politicians Have Poor Grasp of Technology? · · Score: 1

    That would give the population of /. approximately 33 nukes O_o. That would last one post on /. because I'm assuming every troll would be nuked by the mods that day not realizing the troll lives in the same city.

    PS: I'm not a religious man but god bless the built-in spell checker Firefox 2.0 implemented. Other than when it is trying to correct my HTML tags. Now I can sound 10,00,0 trillion times smarter (guess it doesn't check to see if numbers are properly formatted but that's probably a good thing).

  25. Re:First nerd??? on Microsoft's Charles Simonyi to be 1st Nerd in Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    You haven't heard? Nerds can only be billionaire software engineers from Microsoft - the others are geeks. *end sarcasm*
