  1. Re:Wrong approach entirely on EU Recommends Noise Limits On MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    Don't listen to this guy - the troll's got the patent on tinfoil "hat" for mp3 players.

    Heck, a lot of the Original Data behind such famous theories as gravity and a round earth was deleted, too. That has no bearing on the fact that those theories were proven true. Exact same thing with human-caused climate change.

    Feel pretty dumb that you wrote this bit, don't you? :-) If you don't, then you have a bigger problem.

  3. Re:Hottest month in Darwin... on The Limits To Skepticism · · Score: 1

    This catastrophic global warming claim just doesn't pass the bullshit detector test that we in science/tech fields develop.

    It's one thing to theorize the origin of the universe with Big Bang theory. Wholly another to set trillion-dollar policies based on tenuous model of poorly understood climate of Earth based on the data available that is, given the timescale involved, less than inadequate.

    So Gandhi wasn't perfect. You have a point?

  5. Vaporware on ARM-Powered Laptops To Increase Linux Market Share · · Score: 1

    I hope I'm mistaken. Is there actually an ARM-powered netbook model in the market?

    Doesn't matter, really. Not like that will get us to pronounce it correctly anyways.

    Dear noob, Stallman is an extremist in the same sense Ghandi is an extremist. Different ideals, though. I mean, the guy started GNU/FSF and spends decades with it, instead of going into the industry and raking it in.

    What are you, born 20 minutes ago?

    League of Programming Freedom? Is that like FSF in Marvel comics universe?

    That was one truly disgusting post. Hell is too good for your lot.

    It's quite interesting. I remember this site was a ham-fisted, testosterone-overloaded, obssessive-compulsive, uber-pedantic nerd rage fest. (You're welcome :-).

    Somehow, though, decent comments were thrown in now and then, modded up, people who've got older and mellow still hanging on (on and off), more people from fields other than computer nerddom came on, and it became whole new mess of a beast.

    I'd like to conclude this remark with a goatse link, but I can't be bothered - type in the link yourself.

    Oh, reply with some good trolls that visited slashdot, from Soviet Russia or whatever.

    This sounds like HHGG's cretins travelling back in time to steal stuff from the past, only to find out the future bastards are doing the same to them.

    BG is good enough, tied to residential/office network, and hard to notice the benefit of N.

    I've heard the same sentiment noted by a mother of autistic child, but for a different reason. She had to teach her boy to lie. A lot. For some reason, our social norms require us to lie more/less constantly.

    We aped everything in England and Europe until we started kicking their asses. One difference I suspect, though, is the economic pressure is much worse there than it was here.
