  1. Re:For those who use Adobe on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    Never had a problem with the program. Never needed the "Full Version" I just want to read PDF's without being prompted for stuff. That seemed to do the trick. If you need something that can be more customized, do with Adobe Acrobat.

  2. For those who use Adobe on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    Use Foxit. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php Less of a hassle.

  3. Outlook/Exchange? on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 2

    Seriously? One of the most annoying? I beg to differ.

  4. Re:Kudos to the idiot who modded this guy informat on Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    Yes, god forbid someone makes a game that is interesting when you open the box and not 10 days into it. /fail

  5. Re:great on Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    I got bored after reading the second sentence of your useless post.

  6. My take... on Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders · · Score: 4, Informative

    I got in on the early release. Managed to get to Lv 9.

    I was not impressed. The combat system is cool for about an hour or 2 then it's somewhat annoying. Mages are overpowered in that you cast one spell and the enemy dies.

    Also everyone has Hide (AKA Stealth) yeah...everyone. There are some limitations but the ability is still there.

    I think it needs a bit more tweaking, but again I'm not to thrilled with it.

  7. Turn off the phone? on Shopping Centers Track Customers Via Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 0

    I would say just turn off your phone, but I think the signal still carries.

    Or you could just leave it at home.

  8. Could they not do the same with torrents? on How the RIAA Targets Campus Copyright Violators · · Score: 4, Interesting

    After all Azerus has a section where you can see who is seeding and leaching. It shows IP info if I'm not mistaken. Can they not do this with Torrents? How does that differ from Limewire?

  9. And I think I see the problem on Estimated World Population to Pass 6,666,666,666 Today · · Score: 3, Informative

    And here I just read a story today that some lady is having her 18th baby.

    http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D90I4TN00&show_article=1&catnum=0

    Yes this is really helping things out....

  10. They pay taxes on Nevada Governor to Bill Fossett Widow For Search · · Score: 1

    You would think that because they pay taxes they are entitled to some kind of emergency service. ...Just a thought...

  11. This makes sense on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    Sure the killing and running people over is fine....But drunk driving oh hell no!

    Also have you tried to drive drunk in the game? It's not even possible...You would think that would set a good example.

  12. Re:I thought it was a wider net outage on Unexpected Slashdot Downtime · · Score: 1

    You're not the only one. Google was acting flakey for me this morning to.

  13. Re:Chose Wisely on MS Beta Software To Manage Unix/Linux Systems · · Score: 1
    But seriously, who wants to be managing something with a GUI under Windows, when you could be SSHing in and changing all the settings
    Umm...because it's easier?
  14. Due to a bad past on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    These bullies are quick to aggressively divert blame for any problem back to someone else, because they couldn't possibly be responsible.

    Or maybe it's because a lot of us were made fun of in High school and this is our way of doing to others what some did to us. (Subconsciously)

    Oh my past haunts me so!

  15. Dude! on Why Microsoft Surface Took So Long To Deploy · · Score: 5, Funny
  16. Re:Uhh...I got an idea on Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition · · Score: 1

    Please.....Yes it can be a memory hog. My laptop has 2 GB's which I understand is more than the typical home PC, but my Firefox "With as heavy use as it gets" never breaks 150MB in memory.

    It's an issue, but let's not go to some crazy untrue number.

  17. Uhh...I got an idea on Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition · · Score: 1

    You know...I see a lot of negativity in the comment section of this article. But I have an idea....Don't upgrade. it's not like there going to pull the plug on Firefox 2 or something. No one forces you to upgrade. Just keep what you have.

    Yeah the update may be worse but that doesn't mean you have to ditch the browser as a whole. Hell I still run Firefox 2. I'm not worried about 3 yet. Version 2 does everything I need.

  18. My News Source on Mainstream Media Finally Catching On To How News Propagates · · Score: 1

    I get my Technology news from Slashdot and my everyday normal news from Fark.com

  19. Major off topic but... on Large Hadron Collider Sparks 'Doomsday' Lawsuit · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I so read that as "Large Hard on"

    Yeah I know off-topic mod me down. But it was funny....

  20. Re:Look at it my way on Microsoft or Apple - Who Is the Faster Patcher? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dude that SP1 patch was not an official release for the public. More like a leak.

    The official release has worked great for everyone I know.

    Troll somewhere else please.

  21. Easy photoshops on Adobe Puts Free Photoshop Online · · Score: 1

    So does that mean it will be easier to make funny photoshop pictures now? This may be good for those that don't feel like installing the application.

  22. Is this really new? on South Park To Be Available Online Free and Legal · · Score: 1

    I thought that's what www.southparkzone.com was for?

    Or was that not legal?

  23. Goody... on Meet the Laptop of 2015 · · Score: 1

    Yes that's all we need is something that will fit well in your car...Yes more people need laptops in their cars. /facepalm

  24. A bad thing? on Windows Vista SP1 Meeting Sour Reception In Places · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To top it all off, the service pack will not install on computers that use peripheral device drivers that Microsoft has deemed incompatible."
    And that's a bad thing? The way I see it, this prevents even more problems. Honestly though I have heard great things about the upgrade from many users. Also Engadget was running a story and most of the people that commented had good things to say.

    It's know that anytime an update is released there will always be some problems. http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/some-vista-sp1-early-adopters-reporting-problems-how-about-you/#comments

  25. Re:You can't make this stuff up... on Ohio Investigating Possible Vote Machine Tampering Last Year · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's better than when Diebold leaked the election results. http://www.theonion.com/content/video/diebold_accidentally_leaks
