  1. Re:A war over antiquated technology? on NPR Finds XM's Achilles Heel · · Score: 1
    Setting up large chunks of bandwidth for broadcasting is ridiculous, it would be like setting up large chunks of the Internet for one-way non-interactive websites.

    Yeah, but waste like that already happened and was why IPv6 was invented. 127.0.0.1 is actually the first IP of an /8 block.
  2. Re:Theo on OpenBSD 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Oh, you mean like how he got pissed off when certain companies started preinstalling OBSD on machines and then told their customers the BSD mailing list was their support forum, without even the courtesy to tell anyone on the list what they were in for?

    I can't blame Theo at all for how he responds to greedy bastards like that.

  3. Have to agree on Microsoft Partners With Zend · · Score: 1

    After using PHP for 4 years, I can say with some authority that it's complete shit. They're supposed to be fixing some of the most serious design flaws in PHP 6, but I don't think I'll still be using it by then.

  4. Re:LAM-P on Microsoft Partners With Zend · · Score: 1

    LAMP works fine with Perl. Or even Python.

    That reminds me, I've needed an excuse to learn one of those for a while now...

  5. What's with 2? on Ask a Mozilla Person About Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen 2.0 is just a UI update and not much of an update for developers, the same as IE7 is. Why is that?

  6. Re:Of all the things you did... on Ask a Mozilla Person About Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why don't you?

    The source is right there, and anyone can go file a bug.

    If you're not going to help, stop whining and get out of the way of people that ARE.

  7. Article has it backwards. on Why Gaming Sucks On Linux · · Score: 1

    With Linux, I don't have to sift through the excrement of ignorant/lazy/greedy game companies to find decent games.

  8. Re:5d) Opera does memory right on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    It's kind of ironic that Opera users parade its ACID test compliance, and yet Opera breaks so often on real sites with bad markup...

  9. Re:New algorithm on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 2, Funny

    What'd you expect from Microsoft code?

  10. Re:Now imagine a GPL v2 OS imposes the same on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now imagine that DRMed OS gets laughed into obscurity and nonexistence.

  11. Re:Logical conclusion on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 1

    But what happens if #3 doesn't happen?

  12. Re:Xbox Live Silver was second class from the star on Xbox Live Silver Accounts Becoming Second Class · · Score: 1

    It may be the stupidest marketing idea ever... so what do you think that says about the XBox userbase?

  13. Re:Why? on Want To Know About the New Apple MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think you're full of shit, and for the record I use neither MacOS nor Windows.

  14. Re:WHY XHTML are going unnoticed ? on HTML to be 'Incrementally Evolved' · · Score: 1

    Whoops.
    "</>"

  15. Re:WHY XHTML are going unnoticed ? on HTML to be 'Incrementally Evolved' · · Score: 1

    You can separate content and style using just normal HTML anyway, in which case it's perfectly fine to use all the HTML4 shortcuts like "".

  16. Re:She has a point on Slashdot's Vastu · · Score: 0, Troll

    The design had nothing to do with it. Digg's popularity is directly related to the hypochondriac pharma culture and the rise of self-inflicted diseases like ADHD.

  17. Re:For those cheering Nintendo on Nintendo Profits Up 72%, Sony's Down 94% · · Score: 1

    There's never been good guys in the console industry, but as far as I can tell Nintendo are the lesser of three evils.

  18. Cue the In Soviet Russia jokes... on Wired's Very Short Stories · · Score: 1

    You just know someone's... oh wait.

  19. Re:RTFA on Ice Ages Linked to Plate Tectonics · · Score: 1

    So in other words, if it weren't for the industrial revolution there's a remote possibility a large chunk of life on earth might've died off?

  20. Lies, damn lies and statistics. on Canadian Music Industry Says Downloading Declining · · Score: 1

    How are they measuring this 14%? The number of people who are downloading from public bittorrent trackers? Then of course it'd be declining, everyone's going underground to get away from The War on Music Listeners.

  21. Re:No Adblock so far on Firefox 2.0 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    You could just use a browser with adblock built in...

  22. Re:Fasterfox on Firefox 2.0 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, fasterfox.

    One of the many ricer addons that forced me to write a ton of server scripts to auto block firefox.

  23. Now this would be a nice idea: on Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Imagine that Nintendo buys up the remains of Lik-Sang.

    They get rid of the illegitimate parts of their business, then let them carry on business as usual for Nintendo products, only they're on N's payroll and N gets all the profit.

    Imagine that. Buy any game you want in any part of the world when it comes out. No 6, 8 or 12 month delay farces like the N64 was plagued with, or having to go through grey markets.

    But that'll never happen, so here's hoping some good Wii/DS emulators show up soon.

  24. Re:How can the first post on Oracle Ready To (Continue) Linux Plunge · · Score: 1

    Wait, I get it.

    The mods are trying to say the article title makes more sense without the word "linux" in it.

  25. Re:innovation? on Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Konqueror has Adblock built-in, and its HTML/CSS support is the best I've ever seen (xhtml still sucks though). I'd probably use it if not for Firefox's user CSS stuff (-moz-document at-rule).
