  1. Re:What's the point? on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 1

    Finally, someone in this thread with some common sense.

  2. Re:the ipad isn't a computer on History Repeats Itself — Mac & the iPad · · Score: 1

    That is one of the best analogies I've read about the iPad yet.

  3. Re:When you buy it... on In Defense of Jailbreaking · · Score: 1

    Of course you bought the device, you just licensed the software. It's not like Apple or AT&T are going to run crying to the police if you smash up your unit.

  4. Re:For what it's worth on This Is Apple's Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    I think some people have a hard time believing Photoshop might be used for its original purpose, rather than, you know, "photoshopping" things.

  5. Re:that's easy on How Many Hours a Week Can You Program? · · Score: 1

    You mean like an off-by one? :-)

    I'm going to go ahead and give you a "wooooosh" right there.

    (If I have to explain that's the joke flying over your head, then I guess it wasn't funny.)

  6. Re:will make a great Cat's Cradle - like SF story. on MIT Researchers Harness Viruses To Split Water · · Score: 1

    Now we know what happened on Cybertron!

  7. Re:Is it really fragmentation? on Android Gets Carrier-Operated European App Store · · Score: 1

    Strangely enough, everyone expected Verizon to be the one to do this, but no, it was AT&T.

    Don't go not naming names. Let people know which phones to stay away from.

  8. Re:I don't want flying images in my browser on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 3, Funny

    He also forgot to tell us to get off his lawn. Or was that implied?

  9. Re:I feel sad. on IE9 Throws Down the Hardware Acceleration Gauntlet · · Score: 1

    Massive adds? So that's why the processor is getting used up!

  10. Re:Hypervisor on "Midori" Concepts Materialize In .NET · · Score: 3, Informative

    The userspace?

  11. Re:CmdrTaco drags big brass ones along the ground on iPad Review · · Score: 1

    I would so buy one if someone made a "Giant Remote Control" app.

  12. Re:xkcd is not funny. Please stop linking to it. on Twitter Predicts Box Office Results · · Score: 1

    Fixed that for myself.

    Fixed that for you.

  13. Re:Keep in mind... on DoD Report On 32 "Nuclear Accidents" · · Score: 3, Funny

    Natural selection!

  14. Re:Only Apple on iPad Jailbroken · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you're saying all that matters is the kernel, and not the userspace?

  15. Re:Actually, one decent plot possibility on Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's.. sort of actually close.

  16. Re:Crap on Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3 · · Score: 1

    They should call it ID4^2 and ID4^3 instead.

  17. Re:April 1st already? on Company Invents Electronic Underpants · · Score: 1
  18. Re:C# and F# on De Icaza Says Microsoft Has Shot .NET Ecosystem In Foot · · Score: 1

    I'm primarily a C# developer, but I dabble in Java for things like Android development. Knowing C# has really helped my Java, but here and there I miss certain things from it, like properties. Getters and setters just feel like a poor way of doing things, as far as code organization goes.

  19. Re:MS is a more aggressive business than SUN on De Icaza Says Microsoft Has Shot .NET Ecosystem In Foot · · Score: 1

    There's no money in the .NET compiler, in fact, it comes with every normal client installation of .NET. (Example: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\csc.exe)
    You're thinking of Visual Studio.

  20. Re:Pool Table on The $8,500 Gaming Table You Want · · Score: 1

    They usually make things to fill/block the pockets for certain game modes of pool, I think.

  21. Re:Non story on Bill Gates May Build Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No, but you think Slashdot is going to portray Gates as the hero?

  22. Re:Homebrew has drawbacks on Nintendo Announces 3D Successor of Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    Fighting, maybe, winning, no.

  23. Why, do they start typing in the subject.. on Metaprogramming Ruby · · Score: 4, Funny

    and finish their sentence in the paragraph?

  24. Re:For Windows 7 Home Premium? on Microsoft Lifts XP Mode Hardware Requirement · · Score: 1

    Well actually, XP Mode doesn't ship at all (probably to save space on the retail disk) but has to be downloaded. But the license to use it only comes with Pro and above. Seamless mode is indeed available, though Virtual PC's isn't as good as VMWare's Unity (ironically enough)

  25. Re:VOIP on Mississippi Makes Caller ID Spoofing Illegal · · Score: 1

    Any time I've used Skype Out it's always shown up as 000-000-0000 or 012-345-6789.
