Comment Middle! (Score 1) 315

I figure there's only 1/5 chance of you being wrong if you go for the "somewhere in the middle" option as opposed to the first two choices which are both 4/5 wrong.
Probability served me well! Although it seems the least popular one holds true, for now!

Cute, I'm on 65!
Post++!

I do disagree with some of the changes in the beta index, do they still have total comments on an article not showing? That's what made me go back to the default..
Got to say it's faster as well without all the extra bloat, guess I'll just be sticking to the norm and hoping the changes don't get put into my favourite slashdot :)

Comment Re:A wiki? (Score 1) 286

A wiki wasn't exactly what I was looking for, it was more just a very simple place to leave comments, like a thread on 4chan or something to that extent. Though I have never run a wiki so I guess it might work.
I did run phpBB for a while, but it's more advanced than what I was looking for, and I don't think it's the best for anonymous comments (registration is a stress!)

Comment Comments page (Score 1) 286

When I had the money for hosting I just put up a page where you could post comments.
Nothing special, took about 10 minutes in Perl and anyone could leave a comment!
Although if you do that you need to make sure it has spam protection, often hidden fields do the trick!

but I haven't decided yet how useful it will be.

I'm finding it's good for speeding up little things, like conversions, and exact values I might like.
Yesterday on /. the "Obama needing cars to get 42 MPG" article for example, I just threw "42 MPG" into WA and it gave me it in British MPG :)
That's the first it's been handy for me, if I remember to use it for things like that I can see it being quite the time saver!

you will always get German search results preferred

http://google.com/ncr seems to block it forwarding you to a country website, at least that's what I use if I want to use .com instead of .co.uk, or if I'm browsing through a proxy in another country.
Alternatively you could log in and set your country to America?
I think that would work anyway, the cookies from gooogle.de shouldn't work on .com so there'll be no previous search data to throw you German results.
