  1. Re:Printers are your friends on Are There Any Smart E-mail Retention Policies? · · Score: 1

    Actually, this isn't a bad idea. Remember what Phil Zimmerman did with PGP when there were restrictions on cryptographic software?

  2. Re:Why do people link ad-laden patent sites? on Microsoft's Decade-old Patent On Tree-view Mode! · · Score: 4, Funny

    You forgot the "???". (I own the patent to it, so you'll have to pay me for it.)

  3. Re:This infringes on my 1992 patent... on trees on Microsoft's Decade-old Patent On Tree-view Mode! · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Pfft. I patented matter and energy, so I'm going to sue both of you, as well as every other person on Earth.

  4. Re:Pregnancy Gap on No Gap Found In Math Abilities of Girls, Boys · · Score: 1

    And among Slashdot readers, there is no pregnancy, as that would require sex. (It's a joke. Please don't mod me a troll.)

  5. Re:The Mayans were wrong on Microsoft Blesses LGPL, Joins Apache Foundation · · Score: 5, Funny

    A wise man once passed away and went to Heaven. He asked God when Duke Nukem Forever would be released. God replied, "Not in my lifetime."

  6. Re:Losing Anonymity? on Google's Knol, Expert Wiki, Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Hey, this is Slashdot. You're supposed to get excited when someone even mentions ponies (or Natalie Portman, for that matter.) I take pride in knowing about ponies.

  7. Re:Folding on The First Paper-Based Transistors · · Score: 1

    Now if you want to post comments on Slashdot, and you're using one of these paper computers, you have to use a pen or pencil to write out your comments.

  8. Re:sp0n6e on The First Paper-Based Transistors · · Score: 1

    Twitter? Is that you?

  9. Re:ohnoitsroland on The First Paper-Based Transistors · · Score: 1

    Twitter took his job, so he's actually doing something good now.

  10. Re:Finally on The First Paper-Based Transistors · · Score: 1

    Less is more.

  11. Re:Set the howitzer to stun! on New Rifle Tech Offers Variable Muzzle Speed · · Score: 1

    And smashing pumpkins.

  12. Re:Overuse again... on New Rifle Tech Offers Variable Muzzle Speed · · Score: 1

    Dick Cheney got one! *Hunting partner ducks*

  13. Merge with ODF on UOF Vies to Be a Third Contender in ODF–OOXML Battle · · Score: 1

    I don't remember where from, but I remember hearing something about merging UOF with ODF.

  14. Re:who gives a fuck? on UOF Vies to Be a Third Contender in ODF–OOXML Battle · · Score: 1

    It sucks for throwing together little one-off projects though. A little FAQ sheet. A letter to someone. A notice for the door. That kind of stuff.

    Why not use plaintext files for that kind of stuff? It's much faster, and uses up far less disk space than any zipped-XML or binary format.

  15. Re:And what happens if I ... on Troll Patents Lists In Databases, Sues Everyone · · Score: 1

    I patented the "????", so he couldn't use it.

  16. Re:First patent! on Troll Patents Lists In Databases, Sues Everyone · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anonymous Coward has prior art, you know.

  17. Re:Has to be said... on $250 Freescale-Based "Green" "Cloud" Computer · · Score: 1

    So who is going to be the first to pop that cherry?

    If you even know about this website, you probably won't get to.

  18. Re:So is there fertilizer without Phosphorus? on Scientists Solve Riddle of Toxic Algae Blooms · · Score: 1

    Or you can also limit how much fertilizer you use. Saves you money and the environment.

  19. Not a programming language, but still useful on How To Encourage a Young Teen To Learn Programming? · · Score: 1

    I know, I know, it's not a programming language. But he could learn HTML/CSS, preferably the standards-compliant kind, not the IE, tagsoupy FrontPage-generated garbage. I feel it could help a programmer(-to-be) in various ways.

  20. Re:So long, "hardware gamers" on Wii Is the New US Console Leader · · Score: 1

    They should seriously port Doom to the Wii. Use the Wiimote to shoot, switch weapons, view map, etc. Use the Nunchuk to move around, and the two Nunchuk buttons zoom in/out of the map. Online play wouldn't be that hard to implement, though messaging in the game might be a bit tricky for the player. I know I would enjoy playing this.

  21. Re:How could they? on Ubisoft Steals 'No-CD Crack' To Fix Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 · · Score: 1

    On a serious note, is Ubisoft actually legally allowed to distribute these cracked executables, because they are of their own product?

    I would think so. The only thing stopping them is if there's any code the crackers wrote to disable the CD check, which they would have to get the permission to use (no matter how serious the violation of their EULa is.)

  22. Re:How about the reverse quotas? on The Push For Quotas For Women In Science · · Score: 2, Informative

    That was Mark Twain who said that.

  23. Re:How about the reverse quotas? on The Push For Quotas For Women In Science · · Score: 1

    Sorry if this is redundant, but African-American doesn't mean black. Hugo Weaving's white and he was born in Nigeria. He's from Africa, he's not black.

  24. Re:Logging in without having to navigate away ... on Slashdot Discussion System Updates · · Score: 1

    I was so annoyed by this problem I almost made a decision to always post as Anonymous Coward and manually sign all my comments with my user ID.

    I completely agree 100%. This problem is VERY annoying to me, as being the paranoid person I am, I clear my cookies out every time I exit my browser. If they directly implemented it in the comment submission form, I would be very grateful.
