Slashdot Mirror

The ISP's what fight back? Kdawson and jenningsthecat (and the New York Times as well), meet Bob.

ISP is an acronym, not a contraction.

I see you've been taking Bob's advice...

new flies are examining the dead fly carcasses
And not the pizza's?

They're examining the pizza's dead flies.

Forget Schrodinger's virus, is there any beer in the fridge?

You practically have to shovel cats into the system

Schrodinger's? I'd rather use beer than cats.

People are so quick to jump to that conclusion. I guess it eases their consciences a little when they do copy bits.

That's like saying I need a justification for smoking pot. My conscience doesn't bother me a bit when I break a law that should not exist, and I firmly believe that noncommercial copying should be legal. Nobody ever went broke from noncommercial copying.

People do sell DVDs. Depending on how many you buy, they cost less than a dollar a pop. Of course, they don't have "bits" on them

Of course they have bits on them; the pictures and sound are bits. Everything digital is made of bits.

By the same logic, I suppose you shouldn't worry about the RIAA taking thousands of your dollars in a backroom deal then, huh?

There's no sameness in that; it's a completely different thing. Potential money is not actual money.

I'm sorry, but your post annoyed me so much I'm going to have to give you an Unwanted education. I hope English isn't your native language.

Schrodinger's beehive -- two bees, or not two bees? THAT is the question!

2P or not 2P is a bad question. As General Patton said (at least in the movie portrayal of him), "never turn down a chance to piss!"

PLEASE, for the love of God, learn to use an apostrophe.

Sometimes I'll reply with a link to the Bob the Angry Flower cartoon "Bob's quick giude to the apostrophe, you idiot's".

There, fixed that for ya!

It's a lot of things, but not typing. Of course, tyling produces typoos, but that's not a matter of spelling, it's a matter of hitting the worng keys. A little proofreading fixes that.

Spill chuckers oar bad four spilling. Eye wish pee pull wood stoop ewe sing them.

Personally, when I see someone using the wrong homonym, like "the ball is in there court", it has a negative effect on my opinion of their intelligence. The same goes for the misuse of apostrophes; WHY do people think you need an apostrophe for a plural? Sometimes I'll reply with a link to the Bob the Angry Flower cartoon "Bob's quick giude to the apostrophe, you idiots".

Maybe it's being innundated by posts from sub-adults who are texting in class instead of paying attention to the teacher.

2 L8, brb

(whisper)When it comes to spelling, punctuation, and grammar, the anonymous coward species generally has absolutely NO idea what it is talking about. Shhhh. Here comes the posters now. Let's watch quietly as they trot out the same old ignorant meme's about hybrids, electrics and diesels.(/whisper)

I read the comments, and you're flat out WRONG. The commenters showed a good understanding of the subject matter. I can't for the life of me figure out how such an incorrect statement got so highly modded.

Why do you say that an activity that harms nobody but yourself is immoral? By your logic, drinking alcohol and eating Big Macs are immoral.

I didn't say "sleeping with someone outside of marrige", I said adultery; cheating on your partner behind their back. Polygamy is not adultry. Adultery has victims - the cheated-on partner suffers greatly, as I can tell you from painful experience, having been married to an adultress. Do you know what it's like to have your daughter ask "how do I know if you're really my dad?" And if one of your parents committed adultery, there is the possibility of marrying your sibling.

Hurtful actions are immoral. If it doesn't hurt anyone but yourself, it isn't.

Marijuana is a drug, but it is not an opiate, as you'd know if you read a few books on the subject. The internet is unreliable, and also harms your spelling and grammar skills. Here is a little unwanted education.

Ewe shout knot truss you're spill chucker.

But lets face it; most starting bands are low on money, do it part time and if you've ever listened to demo's they suck.

The musical instruments and other equipment needed to play live shows cost far more than the equipment needed to record it. And I heard Duane Mahoney's (Eddie Money) demo that he cut for his producer before the producer did, and the finished version was far, far better than the demo. That three minute demo cost him $200 back in 1975 (might have been '74, I don't remember exactly whe it was).

He's a good singer and good musician, but he's no better than a lot of my friends who play here locally who make CDs that are every bit as good as almost anything that has come from the major labels.

The labels aren't there to fuck everyone over, but the fact is they DO fuck almost everyone over, from their artists to their customers.

You say "I think record labels are needed to support the artists", well, how about some logical arguments instead of "I think"?

if you've ever listened to demo's they suck. Well they dont

Your insanely illiterate misuse of the apostrophe begs a link to Bob's quick guide to the apostrophe, you idiots (Bob the Angry Flower)

Bob feels the same way you do in a similar scenario. :)

Who's watching you?

It's a little late in the day for me to be recalling Schroedinger.

He's out on the porch drinking a beer anyway.

You need to meet Bob.

For the love of God, please use "it's" appropriately (hint: it's not the possessive of it). Let Bob the Angry Flower educate you.

Please, for the love of God, learn to use the apostrophe correctly. Hint: it's not merely warning the reader that an S is coming up!

No, but a great deal of American's do have difficulty speaking coherent English of any type.

Or even writing it.

Here's a helpful reference chart.

If you write in C like you write in English, no wonder Microsoft's products are so buggy!

I had no idea anyone actually used Mac's as servers.

Huh? Mac's what? And who is Mac?

Is this Mac's Milk in Toronto, where they offer a complete Win-7 DVD for only $12 when you buy a quart of milk? Wow!

No that book has little to teach us and can be easily summarized.

From: http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Ayn_Rand#Shatlas_Rugged

Shatlas Rugged

Actually reading this novel has been compared to pushing one's head through a light-year of refrigerated saltwater taffy.

To save you reading over a thousand pages of turgid prose, here is Atlas Shrugged. No "spoiler" alert is necessary:

        * A dark and lonely handsome hero with no friends makes shitloads of dosh off the back of lazy and stupid non-union slaves;
        * When asked to pay taxes, he and his ilk scream in shock, and flee in a huff to live in the mountains; [4]
        * Everyone is miserable except them, as they are busy driving their trains up and down in their incredible mountain hideaway;
        * They have laughable sex with other capitalist boors, but cannot commit due to being too busy making money;
        * Everyone else is wrong:
        * They are right;
        * They appear suddenly in public and punish the miserable hordes by lecturing them in interminably boring eight-hour speeches that go on and on and on for about one hundred pages and have only one point - "You're all fucked, and I'm not, 'cos I've got all the money, Ha Ha!";
        * The world goes to Hell in a handbasket, except for them, 'cos they're in their seekrit mountain hideout.[5]

This is the link referenced as 5 and is also very appropriate:

At then end of the day Atlas Shrugged is a steaming turd of a book and Ayn Rand ideas never had any value.

What a disgusting display of English grammar. Come on, Slashdot! I thought you editor's had better standards

Oh look, the iron "E" is back.
