  1. Re:Way too much coincidence on Apple Rips Off Rejected App, Says Wireless Sync Developer · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's enough. I, personally, submitted a feedback request to Apple FOUR YEARS AGO requesting Wireless Synchronization for my very first iPhone.

    So... iOS 5 was your idea?

    All ninjas have unlisted numbers, you insensitive clod!

  3. Re:Troll on Could Apple Kill Off Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    Those idiots who think Apple only cares about iPhones and iPads should realise that Apple is the worlds most profitable PC maker, making more profits from building desktop computers and laptops than anyone else, including HP, Dell, Acer, Toshiba and so on

    You got it all wrong. It's those idiots who buy Macs for double the price for the same specs that give Apple so much profit.

    I can't say about that, but in the other LoC units, it's about 28500

    Yes, here we are again with the journalistic conversions:

    16 cores and 32 GB of RAM

    That's, uh, not exactly all that out there, these days.

    You forgot the implied "...Beowulf cluster of..."

  8. Re:Patents can be avoided and new servers created on Skype Protocol Has Been Reverse Engineered · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Slashdotters seem to have an irrational fear against anything touched by MS

    There's nothing irrational about it. MS, like most other big companies, have proved many times that they can be both evil and incompetent.

  9. Re:Really! Parasites! on Tennessee Makes it Illegal To Share Your Netflix Password · · Score: 2

    True. Once you have enough money, you don't really need it anymore. You go for power/influence/control over others.

    Usually this turns into a loop: Money gets you power, and power gets you more money.

  11. Re:Predicted Long Ago on Tennessee Makes it Illegal To Share Your Netflix Password · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As much as rms's predictions used to sound silly and exaggerated, they have an unfortunate tendency to be correct.

  12. Re:Oh dear on The Next Phase of Intelligent TVs Will Observe You · · Score: 1

    I like to sneak down and watch porn channels sometimes when the rest of the family is asleep.

    How can you post to Slashdot with no internet access?

    What stereotype?

  14. Re:How do you steal moon rock? on NASA Sting Busts Woman Selling Purported Moon Rock · · Score: 1

    Yes, and all this time we thought that holes on the moon were craters...

  15. Re:the iPad is stowed dring takeoff and landing on Alaska Airlines Jettisons Paper Manuals For iPads · · Score: 0

    It's right there in the article, fullymodo.

    'The iPad is considered a Class 1 electronic device, meaning it is stowed during takeoff and landing under Federal Aviation Administration regulations.'

    So your book reader has to be stowed and this iPad is too.

    Then what's the point of having it on board, when the majority of accidents happen during takeoff or landing?

  16. Re:Modern society on Nintendo Pulls Dead Or Alive Over Porn Fears In EU · · Score: 1

    I don't really know the game, so I assumed it a shooter, or an otherwise killing game. Now I informed myself and I see that it's about fighting.

    Also, I assume that more people were killed or otherwise hurt because of fighting than because of skirt look-ups. Until this assumption is also proven incorrect, I will continue to be worried by a society where violence is socially more acceptible than looking at women.

  17. Modern society on Nintendo Pulls Dead Or Alive Over Porn Fears In EU · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's a game with the word "Dead" in its name, and people have a problem with it because you can look up women's skirts?

  18. Re:Hope and Change on US Senate Committee Passes PROTECT IP Act · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, you weren't that much off the mark. Hope and Change should stop this madness as well.

    The people won't read it either. The contents of a law have very little correlation to people's support for it.

    Ouch, I wasted a good opportunity for another Mathematician joke. The "There is" should be "There exists".
