  1. Re:Meh. Call me when they've stopped keyword spam on Yes, Google Does De-List Pages; But When? · · Score: 1

    I installed Greasemonkey just to get rid of experts-exchange. This script does it: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1898

  2. Re:Calling all Slashdot Geniuses on AP Says "Share Your Revenue, Or Face Lawsuits" · · Score: 1

    Just because this news 'system' is the only one (btw. it's not) doesn't mean it deserves to work forever. News won't die (neither will music).

  3. Re:Ooh, a new color! on Microsoft Announces Windows Azure, Cloud-Based OS · · Score: 1

    Commonly it refers to a bright blue, resembling the sky on a bright, clear day.

    So, there is no cloud to connect to?

  4. causality? on Cat Ownership Correlated With Heart Health · · Score: 1

    Since this was only a correlational study and no experiment, we don't know anything about the direction of causality. maybe the genes for liking cats and having a healthy heart are coupled. or not dying of a heart attack makes you like cats. or whatever. cats rule.

  5. Re:Wait a Bit! on Evolution of the 'Captcha' · · Score: 1

    We are trying to make a computer tell the difference between man and computer here. That's the Turing Test the other way round... sort of.

  6. Re:What do you to call it? Third Life? on Second Life To Open Source Server Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    No. Third Life would is when someone creates the internet in second life and on this second internet an online role playing game. You would be able to sit down in front of your computer, log on to second life, fly to your house, go to your computer there and log on to third life.

  7. Usability Shoutbox on PC World's 25 Worst Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Someone at my research group (HCI) startet a little experiment called "Usability shoutbox" where everyone can send in data about usefulness, usability and design of sites and applications with a little tool. The data is collected and presented on the projects page.
    It's windows only at the moment, but it's open source, so feel free to implement the dashboard widget and the firefox plugin ;-)
    It just started, so there aren't many people (~50) at the moment, though.

  8. Re:Patently Nonsense on iPod Faces Patent Probe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Creatice patented the hierarchical menues, which are trivial. The iPod is easy to use because of the wheel (and the lack of other buttons except play, stop, next, previous). The not so easy to use players also need some sort of hierarchical menues to navigate music (how else could it work?)

  9. It's under your nose on AllofMp3.com Breaks Silence · · Score: 2, Insightful

    **AA, it's really easy. AllOfMp3 is exactly the online shop you should do. Someone else did the research for you for free and figured it all out. Just do a shop exactly like this and thousands of people will give you money. I will. Copy THEM!
