  1. Re:um, ok on A Truly Open Linux Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Also, I want to smack all the people using the tag "itsnotatrap" when they know, if they read the tagging FAQ, that it should be "!itsatrap".

  2. Re:QUICK! LETS IMITATE IT!! on What's Different About Vista's GUI? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Somebody wake me up when these two projects stop playing perpetual 2nd place, and start trying out new GUI ideas.
    Okay, somebody refresh my memory; how long have GNOME/KDE had workspaces?
  3. I don't think this is such a good idea... on Researchers Debut DNA-Powered Computer · · Score: 3, Funny

    This thing might get more viruses than Windows.

  4. 2.5 Terrabytes? on Windows Vista RC2 Available · · Score: 5, Funny
    Here's the direct link to the 2552.6GBGB ISO image: Vista RC2 build 5744
    What? Did they encode it all in ASCII 0s and 1s?
  5. Re:Something worse that Linux sucking is... on Why Software Sucks · · Score: 1

    Haven't read TFB yet, but I bet most of the software discussed in it is Windows-Only stuff.

  6. Re:pr0n on The Day Against DRM · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you are suggesting that porn should be illegal, then I assure you at least 50% of all web users will become criminals, if they weren't already. Probably even you. Yes you, the person reading this.

  7. Re:10-Day Installation Agony? on 10-Day Gentoo Installation Agony · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've been using Gentoo for what I guess about 100 days now, and except for me totally screwing something up early on (I think it was the X server) and having to reinstall the entire thing, I've had a good experience with it.

  8. Really? It was easy for me to install on 10-Day Gentoo Installation Agony · · Score: 3, Informative

    After one day of partitioning my Windows hard drive, and an hour reading through the installation manual online, I managed to install Gentoo without any problems after figuring out what exactly to do. (Except for having to download ndiswrapper manually from Windows to port over to Gentoo, because my wireless router doesn't have any native Linux drivers for it, so I couldn't download any updates.) This was also the first time I installed any Linux distro.

    Just because one guy can't install it successfully doesn't mean the entire thing is flawed.

  9. They have computers that can beat people at chess on Tic-Tac-Toe-Playing LEGO Robot · · Score: 1

    But this robot can't win at Tic-Tac-Toe? Guess it's just more proof for how silly the game is. Why not teach it to play checkers or Connect Four? Also, can it run Linux?

  10. Re:Here's hoping for a "Jack Thompson head" mod... on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    It sometimes does if his mouth gets tired.

  11. I wish I could mod ARTICLES as "Redundant" on Windows Mobile Security Software Fails the Test · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Seriously, since when has a Microsoft product been safe?

  12. Re:Whats gonna happen when Norton removes WGA? on Botnet Herders Attack MS06-040 Worm Hole · · Score: 1

    To me, they're both equally malicious. Norton should just remove both of them.

  13. *batch downloads all the images* on Star Trek... Inspirational Posters? · · Score: 1

    It's only a matter of time before Slashdot brings the site's bandwidth to it knees. (Apparently, he's been having a little trouble paying the bandwidth bill before this article. Poor guy.)

  14. I can see it now... on U.S. Senate Ratifies Cybercrime Treaty · · Score: 2, Funny

    "OMGOMGOMG SOMEBODY H4X0R3D MY MYSPACE PAGE ARREST THEM!!11"

    That's what I really think this will lead to.

  15. Wait a minute... on Moon's Bulge Explained · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't all circular/spherical objects bulge around the middle? take this o for example. The middle part of it is wide at the middle, and short at the top and bottom.

  16. There already is a definition for a click on Defining Clicks and Click Fraud · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's the level 2 DOM event that is triggered after the mouseup event if the position of the mouse hasn't moved a set distance (varies from OSes/Desktop environments) after the previous mousedown event.

  17. Re:If even Thurrott is saying this... on Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' · · Score: 1
    Also, he even says in the article that
    After five years of delays, another six months isn't going to make a difference.
    They're just taking their time and answering with "soon" whenever asked about a release date, IMO.
  18. Re:Heh, Suck It Macfreaks on Frets on Fire - Guitar Hero for Linux/Windows · · Score: 1

    Pure trolling/flamebait, but he's right. In fact, this is the first game I've seen that released with both a Windows and a Linux binary. But then again, I don't play that many games on my PC.

  19. Re:Do I think they went to far? on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    And odds are it will actually get put up.

  20. Re:#1 reason Wii will be good for adventure games on Nintendo To Be the Hero of the Adventure Genre? · · Score: 1

    I don't really see how something to point with would help you with that.

    >Get ye flask

    "You cannot get ye flask!"

    *points and presses button at flask*

    "You cannot get ye flask!"

  21. Microsoft is just isolating itself on Microsoft Locking Out Anti-Virus Makers? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    By making its kernel and software more closed, they're just locking out new developers and applications. If they keep this up, Windows may only be able to run Microsoft Software.

  22. Of course, violence is the only thing that matters on The 64% Violent Pacman · · Score: 1

    Hell, The Guy Game should be rated E, since there's no violence in that!

  23. Re:It will also be punishable... on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 1

    *changes meta tags on website* http://4q.cc/ Fedal felony, here I come!

  24. Very nice, but... on DS Web Browsing Looks Refreshingly Good · · Score: 1

    How much of Oprea will the DS be able to use? (Javascript, , fonts, etc.)

  25. Re:Alternative Method on World Firefox Day · · Score: 1

    That's how I got my name in it. (Even if it's only my first name and email address) http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvslog.cgi?file=mozilla/ browser/components/search/nsSearchService.js&rev=H EAD&mark=1.8#1.8 Besides, most of the people I know already switched to Firefox. Except for my parents, who feel they're perfectly fine with IE. (Even after they had to get their computer reformatted after some strange virus infecting it.)
