  1. Dear Sir on MS Monthly Patch Omits Word Zero-Days · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I'm awfully glad you put that smiley on the end of your joke, as I was just about to post a reply to alert you to the fact that you had mispelt the word 'fine'!

  2. Look, son on Internet Explorer 7 on Linux · · Score: -1, Troll

    Because you're a big gayer and you don't have any friends. Installing IE would at least be a small step to re-integrating yourself with society. Once you're running IE, you can move onto more advanced topics like making eye contact with people and giong outside.

  3. Re:It doesn't matter on Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista · · Score: -1

    You could always run Vista via Bootcamp, which isn't a VM.

  5. Re:Response from Kevin Finisterre, second bug on Month of Apple Fixes · · Score: 0

    To be fair, although the exploit uses VLC, it looks like the vulnerability is still in the way the OS handles strings, ie it is something Apple could fix. VLC may still crash, though.

  6. Re:Idiot on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 0

    So because the labels rip off the artists anyway, its ok for you to pirate/download from AOmp3 and reduce the artist's income even further?

  7. Idiot on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 0

    It must be nice to 'win' all your arguments by just applying labels to everyone who disagrees with you. Anyways, back on topic, allofmp3 might well be perfectly legal, in Russia - but the artists dont get *shit* when you buy your music there. You're the kind of person who loves to point out that often the law isn't whats important, but the morals at the centre of the issue, yet completely ignores any morals at stake when they might stop you doing what you want.
    Botom line is, like 90% of posters on Slashdot, your morals are selective, your thinking is entirely predictable, and you argue like a coward.

  8. Re:Check out the Captain Copyright site now. on Digital Media Winners and Losers of 2006 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't care. I've drunk almost two bottles of port, and later on tonight I'm going to inject seven million volts of pure sex energy directly into my girlfriends clitoris, before letting her suck my sex carrot right off its hinge.

  9. Re:Who has Microsoft actually sued on Microsoft Applies to Patent RSS in Vista · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you're looking for facts, you've come to the wrong place. If it wasn't for Slashdot's pathetic yet consistent dribbling out of tabloid anti-MS propaganda, Christmas for 90% of the Slashdot readership would consist entierly of alternately masturbating to freeze-framed Hentai, and crying into their keyboards. This is all these people have! Please spare a thought for them, don't shatter their dreams. Leave facts out of this discussion, please.

  10. LOL on Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst? · · Score: 1

    Is this a joke?

  11. Who cares anyway? on David Pogue Takes On Vista · · Score: 1

    There needs to be less shit thrown about who came up with what first. I don't really care who stole from who, all I care about is who does it best, and quite often thats the person who learns from the creator's mistakes and does it better.

  12. Re:Perfect Timing on Vista vs. Cairo - A Microsoft History Lesson · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Of course the Wizard of Oz was on, its fucking christmas. If theres anything thats guarunteed to happen at Christmas, its that that fucking girl and strawman sex pest is going to be on the tv.

    When should it restart the SATA driver?

  14. Zealot alert! on Third Microsoft Word Code Execution Exploit Posted · · Score: 0, Troll

    Fucking hell, man...if your attitude is anything to go by, no wonder the majority of open source software sucks in comparison to commercially produced alternatives. You have to understand that the vast majority of people use computers to *get things done*, and when they're not getting things done they want to have fun. Fixing other peoples bugs, implementing missing functionality and writing their documentation doesn't fit into this equation, which is why most people are willing to pay for (ok, often pirate) commercial software. "put up with the shitness or fix it yourself" is an appalling attitude, but it seems to be what you're saying.

  15. Re:No way! on Study Detects Recent Instance of Human Evolution · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're far too reasonable, I don't think you'll like it here.

  16. Re:Microsoft research is cool on New Developments From Microsoft Research · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Working for MS means more money, more variety in the work you do, better offices, better facilities, better training, better career prospects.

    Don't think doing CS research at uni is like a cross between having a job and being a student, because unless you are very lucky, it isn't, it fucking sucks. Its the worst of both worlds, the shittiness of it all has sucked the life and enthusiasm out of at least three of my friends.

  17. Re:Linux on Vista an Uneasy Sleeper · · Score: 1

    Indeed. If my MacBook is on batteries, its fine, but if the power if you pull the power adapter while its sleeping, it gets confused. It wakes up eventually, but it takes a few open and closes of the lid.

  18. You are an idiot on Vista an Uneasy Sleeper · · Score: 1

    I was going to write a sensible post, but then I read your post history, and realised you where a complete and utter tool. Do people as blinkered as you really exist in real life, or are you just a script of some kind?

  19. Re:Wondershaper on Vista's 'Next Gen' TCP/IP Stack · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, right...because if history teaches us anything, its that Linux is easier to use then Windows.

  20. I can't believe this! on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 0, Troll

    What was that quote again? Those who are willing to give up freedom for safety don't deserve either! Thats just fine if you want to join the mindless ranks of sheep, but I'm not going to let The Man continue to control my life. Theres got to be privacy concerns here too, America becomes more and more of a police state every day. I'm getting out of here. Or at least I would if I lived there and not here, in the UK.

  21. Re:That doesn't work, here's why on How To Tell If Your Cell Phone Is Bugged · · Score: 1

    In my old flat, my phone number was the first 6 digits of the number anyone with the same area code as me would dial if they where ringing someone in a particular part of Australia, if they accidentally hit '8' instead of '0' for the first key. I got so many fucking phone calls at 6am from grandmothers ringing their relatives it was ridiculous.

    MacBooks and MacBookPro's do support right mouse buttons. Tap one finger on the touch pad for left click, tap two fingers for right click (and drag two fingers around the trackpad for scrolling, or zooming with Control pressed).

  24. Re:Don't do what china does on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1, Funny

    Different sizes doesn't help at all, blind people are completely incapable of judging size anyway as it has no meaning to them; theirs is a world without size, colour, distance or space. I have a blind friend, so I am well aware of their plight. What I do for him is to regularly cut his money into different shapes, for example I would cut all his £5 notes into stars, £10's into zigzags and £20's into smiling faces. He has no trouble distinguishing his money now, although it is no longer legal tender and serves no purpose.

  25. Re:I'd be surprised if there was a guide on Software Engineering of GUI Programming? · · Score: 0

    Not at all. The code generated by the form designer in VS2005 is in a partial class, you never have to see it and you never have to deal with it.

    Even better, in OSX, there is no generated code at all, as all objects in your GUI are simply serialised instances of the controls you drag and drop in InterfaceBuilder (the OSX equivalent of VS2005's form designer). Bindings just makes it even better.
