  1. Re:E911 Location on Worry Over VZW, Sprint Phones' 911 Alarm · · Score: 1

    That... That is an awesome phone.

    Why isn't this feature on every mobile out there?

  2. Re:About damned time on Firefox 3 Beta 1 Review · · Score: 1

    Everyone always talks about it using up so much memory, but I haven't had any memory problems since 1.5 where it took up 500+MB...

    Never goes over 80 now, and I often browse around twenty tabs or more at once. :\

    Get out of my country.

    Fixed.
  7. Re:Worse than ignorance, it's iggerunt. on Cisco Offices Raided, Execs Arrested In Brazil · · Score: 1

    Brazilians speak their own local variant of Portuguese. I am half Portuguese myself and though I don't yet know enough of the language to tell, my father and his family are often very annoyed when they find something advertised as being in Portuguese as being in "Brazilian".

  8. Re:Still on Mom Blasts Ballmer Over Kid's Vista Experience · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine thought the same way, but that was way back on an ancient version of OOo...

    The latest versions of OOo have had a very easy and office-like interface and the whole project has improved drastically since I started using it.

  9. Re:It's a culture thing. on Defending Games For Adults on National Television · · Score: 1

    You sure you've got the right country? I see an abundance of violent games on the shelves that most 15-year-olds should most certainly not play.

  10. Re:Lilly put it best... on Everything I Needed to Know About Game Writing I Learned From Star Trek · · Score: 1

    I'm sure I saw a few female borg in "Q Who?" and/or "The Best of Both Worlds" Part 1, perhaps 2 : \

  11. Re:I thought MTV got out of the music business... on MTV to Invest Over $500 Million in Video Games · · Score: 1

    I'm 18, with all the future to look forward to, and I find things stuck to the bottom of my shoes that are funnier than jackass.

    Now, Borat, there's some classy comedy you can really get into.

  12. Re:Awesome! on Manhattan 1984 · · Score: 1

    Somehow, I excelled at geography, however, I refuse to acknowledge that you can split a sphere into east and west >_

  13. Re:DRM is the problem on BBC's iPlayer's Prospects Looking Bleak · · Score: 1

    Nah, realplayer sucks.

    I use VLC in tandem with others for music.

  14. Re:Awesome! on Manhattan 1984 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's treatment like this that makes me currently hate most people here in Australia.

    Most of the so-called "western world" (I abhor that term... how do you divide a sphere in east and west?) needs a real kick up the backside.

  15. Re:well... on Why is Microsoft Patching XP? · · Score: 1

    I noticed with glee that Dell, at least here in Australia, offer a choice between XP and Vista.

    I still won't buy from them though :P

  16. Re:Not cheap? on The $200 Billion Broadband Rip-Off · · Score: 1

    Australia? Excuse me? Please cite your source of this information, I would like to know when my country is getting internet that outperforms that of third-world countries for a decent price.

  17. Re:My gf has a mac... on Couple Bonding Through PC Building · · Score: 1

    I have. I was forced to use the iMac all through school, and the newest ones recently. Their only redeeming feature is that they are very pretty.

    They do, however, fail at the most basic of tasks I perform every day on my windows and linux systems.

    The claims that they never crash, etc, are lies. I had a brand new iMac crash multiple times while attempting to install itunes/quicktime (another apple product that makes me feel like going around and setting fire to things), and it wasn't a faulty download.

  18. Re:My gf has a mac... on Couple Bonding Through PC Building · · Score: 1

    Because it's oh-so-satisfying to shell out money for an overpriced, premade, glorified fisher price toy.

    Seriously, get off your smarmy high horse. Just because you use an inferior but less common machine doesn't entitle you to take the moral high ground.

    Yes I'm aware of the irony.

  19. Re:Misleading title... on IRS Freely Gives Out Employee User Name/Password Info · · Score: 1

    I'm quite sure that there was a mistake in the title previously... Makes sense.

    I think...

  20. Re:FIST SPORT on Wikia Acquires Grub, Releases it Under Open Source · · Score: 1

    Super Grub Disk is extremely easy to use and... Well, I assume it can fix a lot of stuff. It sure restored GRUB after I reinstalled windows.

  21. Re:$50 games on $60 Games Are Here To Stay · · Score: 1

    Agreed. The cost of video games in this country really makes me want to beat up publishers. Possibly with a big stick.

  22. Re:Um... on Microsoft Pleads With Consumers to Adopt Vista Now · · Score: 1

    Used it. Hated it. Found it to be an insufferable mess of bad programming, eye candy and incompatibility. Once again Microsoft has made something shinier instead of improving on its functionality. XP was the first good thing to come out of MS for a long time. I loved it. Stable and easy-to-use (though I still absolutely abhor the change to the start menu. classic for me kthxbie). A few compatibility problems but mostly with really old DOS games or a few 95/98 games but patches or workarounds were easy to find. Of course, since it took so long to boot up I got my first taste of linux, and now the only time I'm in XP instead of Ubuntu it's to allocate more space to my Ubuntu partition. :) Still, I'd rather use Vista than a Mac.

  23. Re:"Crafting Cyber-Weapons" on China Crafts Cyberweapons · · Score: 2, Informative

    Generals, of course.

    This was the first thing I thought of too.

    Or in the case of Patrick Stewart, four lights!
    And you people call yourself slashdotters. How can this not be modded funny?

    I like this news, because every time I tease my dad about going bald and looking like his brother, and he comes back with baldness being hereditary, and myself saying that by the time I start to bald hair regrowth will be a technology long developed.... I may be right!
