  1. Re:disappointment? on Indian Satellite Lost in Launch Explosion · · Score: 1

    That's a great book.

  2. hypocrite on Indian Satellite Lost in Launch Explosion · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I would laugh, but then I'm American...

  3. Re:Firefox on Independent Data and Formatting with Microformats · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why shouldn't they have a in-house browser? they do have Lotus Notes.

  4. Firefox on Independent Data and Formatting with Microformats · · Score: 1

    I didn't know IBM used Firefox, I'd have figured that they had their own, "in-house" broswer. Neato

  5. I may me a minority on End of Win 98 Support May Boost Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    ... but I am a win98 user that certainly plans on switching to linux, but only after I get a new machine. Too me, there's no point in saving a Pentuim II with a failing 15GB harddrive.

  6. Re:What features would you like in your browser? on Firefox 2.0 'Beta Candidate 1' Released · · Score: 1

    I would like a way to remove the close icons on each of the tabs. I'm tired of accidently clicking on them, and I couldn't even find an option in about:config.

  7. Re:I don't think this would work in the US on Smart Mob in China for Retailer Discount · · Score: 2, Funny

    DDoS retail style!

  8. Re:The last thing the world needs is more landmine on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, in truth, it started with pilots throwing objects at each other, then progressing to pistols. Mounted guns were latter. Good point though.

  9. Re:Big Blue on New Top500 List Released at Supercomputing '06 · · Score: 1

    I didn't expect that many.

  10. Big Blue on New Top500 List Released at Supercomputing '06 · · Score: 1

    Wow, alot of those are IBM machines.

  11. Re:wow on Spain Adds 'Copyright Tax' to Blank Media · · Score: 1

    So now when I copy a dvd, I'm preforming "copyright", not "copyright infringement". Interesting...

  12. Re:Detectable and Illegal on Defeating China's National Firewall · · Score: 1

    It could quite possibly be detectable, the question is wheither it's easily detectable. As for illegal, of course it is. You wouldn't need to do it if it were legal.

  13. Cool... on Mandriva Appeals to Users for Bookend Audio Bits · · Score: 1

    too bad my daughter-board is fried, including my sound card.

  14. They want to be sued? on New Caldera Promised · · Score: 1

    It almost seems as if (assuming they don't release the source) the want to be sued. Perhaps they beleive the GPL won't stand up in court, and this is their way of challenging it. Obviously they are insane.

  15. Big petition on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 0

    Wow that petition is long.

  16. Re:Why no ODF? on Hands on: Google Spreadsheets · · Score: 1

    That's the one thing holding me back from using it more.

  17. Mixed feelings on Firefox to Drop Pre-Windows 2000 Support · · Score: 1

    I have mixed feelings on this one. I run win98, not because I want to, but because I have been unable to convince my dad to completely switch over to Linux, and he refuses to give Microsoft any more money. On one hand, it may just mean that I'll have to live with using an older version on Firefox, on the other, it may prove to provide the little extra push I need to get my computers running Linux.

  18. How's it come out? on Wormbot Crawls Through Your Intestines · · Score: 1

    Just imagine that thing having to come out the "other end". I really can't see this thing succeding.

  19. Re:don't care about mainstream support on Lenovo To Shun Linux · · Score: 1

    At which point they will cease to be "IBM compatible PCs" and become "Microsoft compatible PCs". *shudders* All thanks to the godless commies at Levano.

  20. 4d Java Applet on A Working 5D Rubik's Cube · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That 4d java applet is amazing! It even runs perfectly fast on my Pentium II.

  21. Re:Consider this a warning on Extortion Virus Code Cracked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Which is why I just laugh when new viruses come out, it's only the idiots that will be infected (generally speaking). So long as you use your brain, your fine. If you somehow fail to use your brain then you deserve to lose your files. I in no way condone the actions of virus writers, but I don't lose sleep about it, and veiw the people who manage to contract the things as just as bad (though in a different sence).

  22. Screenshots on PC-BSD 1.1 Screenshot Tour · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nice screenshots I suppose, though they don't tell me all that much.

  23. Re:Like Wikipedia's redesign on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    Main Page redesign sorry about that

  24. Like Wikipedia's redesign on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    The reactions here remind me of the reactions to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiPr oject_Usability/Main_Page/Final_archive/MainPagere design at wikipedia not to long ago (except I'm for the changes here). It seems that whenever you do something like this, you'll get positive and negative responces
