  1. Too much time on their hands on Triumph of the Cyborg Composer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good tunes are good tunes. What's their problem?

  2. Quality, baby on GoDaddy Wants Your Root Password · · Score: 1, Funny

    Say what you will about Godaddy, but they put out quality commercials.

  3. Re:Take that china on Copernicium Confirmed As Element 112 · · Score: 1

    What's this "whoosh" thing?

  4. Idle on Hollywood Stock Exchange Set To Launch In April · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Rename "idle" with "samzenpus" and keep him off the main page.

  5. I don't even need RTFA on Gates and MS Don't See Eye-To-Eye On CO2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, MS is opposing the redesign because it needs to pump CO2, obviously.

  6. Re:Computer Engineers needed on NHTSA Has No Software Engineers To Analyze Toyota · · Score: 1

    Dude, shut up. The one after you will call out for embedded systems engineer. The one after that will call out for ECM/TCM engineer.

  7. Huh! on NHTSA Has No Software Engineers To Analyze Toyota · · Score: 1

    I think I met couple EEs at NHTSA back in the 90s...

  8. Re:Flawed system. on NGO Networks In Haiti Cause Problems For ISPs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Tell that no-good bum to get a job.

  9. Re:Cover art on Learning Python, 4th Edition · · Score: 1

    And that is the book I'd (very highly) recommend for experienced programmers new to Python.

  10. Empty summary on US Inadvertently Enabled Chinese Google Hackers · · Score: 1

    Why bother having a summary when it adds nothing to the headline?

  11. Re:A few corrections to the preface here at Slashd on Delicious Details of Open Source Court Victory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nice writeup.

    While it may be a win of sort for Jacobsen, I don't find it an encouraging precedent for OS people.

    Threats and harrassment, five years of hassle, outright fraud (copyright infringement), all that resulted in measley 100k settlement over 18 months (minus 30k Jacobsen had to fork out previously?) after several trips up and down the appeal lanes, all with probono attorney service and even some prominent OS advocates' help.

  12. Re:Let me guess on Windows 7 Memory Usage Critic Outed As Fraud · · Score: 1

    Touche! Now let me go brush my teeth. I mean wash my hand.

  13. Re:Why isn't China a Partner? on ACTA Internet Chapter Leaked — Bad For Everyone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's a sad, sad world where we have to rely on China and Russia to "protect" our freedom.

  14. Let me guess on Windows 7 Memory Usage Critic Outed As Fraud · · Score: 1

    Seems like the guy thought it was just a white lie.

    I'd guess this guy's never done academic research. The profs in my school days would go mega fundy when it came anywhere near the notion of research integrity. They took crap on our GPAs every nown and then to make examples, and burned the notion into our heads.

  15. Re:Computational Beauty of Nature on "Immortal Molecule" Evolves — How Close To Synthetic Life? · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is what philosophy education buys you: you pay to learn to enjoy hearing yourself talk. ;-)

    For what it's worth, I'm partial to the materialism.

  16. Re:Verbal diarrhea on Two Chinese Schools Reportedly Tied To Online Attacks · · Score: 1

    Yeah, what?

  17. Re:Verbal diarrhea on Two Chinese Schools Reportedly Tied To Online Attacks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Psssssh. I'll let you in on this, but you gotta keep my name out of it, OK?

  18. Re:Tons more complaints this time on IOC Claims Olympian Lindsey Vonn's Name As Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Ok, so there is one. Anyeone else?

    Actually, I'd have watched speed skating if I had known the schedule...

  19. Re:Tons more complaints this time on IOC Claims Olympian Lindsey Vonn's Name As Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Anyone even watching the game? I know the Winter Games don't draw that much, but this one, the indifference is deafening.

  20. Re:IOC is not a U.S. organization on IOC Claims Olympian Lindsey Vonn's Name As Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Which bridge?

  21. Re:Sure they can claim it on IOC Claims Olympian Lindsey Vonn's Name As Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Never heard of UVEX till this one. Their stuff any good? (wink wink ;-)

  22. Twitter universe on White House Press Secretary's Tweets Archived · · Score: 1

    Hope they expand it to defense and state dept. Think of the hilarity of international diplomacy via twitter smirks.

    Yeah. Pwnage, loots, and all that.

  23. Re:Fuckin' Noobs on Interstellar Hydrogen Prevents Light-Speed Travel? · · Score: 1

    Take it easy. The guy works at the school of quackery, for god sake.

  24. Re:Science or Religion? on A Warming Planet Can Mean More Snow · · Score: 1

    The reality is also the one you perceive. Philosophically, it's like "standard" - everyone has her own...

  25. Re:Or not on A Warming Planet Can Mean More Snow · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure you're joking. Assuming you're not, I am thinking this is advice for buying into salt producers. And 4x4/AWD auto makers. And...
