  1. What next? on 802.11n Should Be Finalized By September · · Score: 2, Funny

    IPv6 will be adopted by the masses?

  2. Re:AGC could multitask 8 jobs at once! on How They Built the Software of Apollo 11 · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if someone would manage to talk shit about Windows in a post about Apollo 11 software. Nice work.

  3. Oh noes! on Secret EU Open Source Migration Study Leaked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Mod me down if you want, but Linux needs to go "full retard" in order to reach the masses. Essentially, a 6 year old and a 96 year old need to be able to use the system. If they can't, start over.

  4. Re:Increased penetration on What Can I Do About Book Pirates? · · Score: 1

    I expected your post to be about Cialis or ExtenZe after reading the title. Color me disappointed.

  5. So, is this kind of like Mr. Fusion? on More "Miles Per Acre" From Bioelectricity Than Ethanol · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can only hope so, because I refuse to RTFA since it's clearly a professor trying to get himself research grants.

  6. Re:Pennsylvania Politics (As Usual?) on Senator Arlen Specter Becomes a Democrat · · Score: 1

    Or, an alternative, non-batshit-crazy version of events: - Sen. Specter realized that he doesn't live in the Deep South, is not a racist, and wants to have a future in politics. Hence, the change in party.

  7. Re:Can't win as a Republican... on Senator Arlen Specter Becomes a Democrat · · Score: 1

    I read earlier that he's going to have to switch on the EFCA in exchange for Ed Rendell clearing the Dem primary field. He won't have to necessary vote FOR it, but will have to at least vote to invoke cloture to get it up to vote. Dems only need 51 votes at that point, and will easily have it.

  8. Re:Still Brown? on Ubuntu 9.04 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ..that doesn't attempt to inspire retching subliminally.

    As if the release name didn't already do that? "Jaunty Jackalope"? Wow. Nice work guys. Way to really try and make Linux go mainstream.

  9. Bruce to the rescue! on A Cyber-Attack On an American City · · Score: 0

    Um, Bruce, there's a reason this didn't make news in mainstream media. Besides, I thought they had some internet out there in Californy! ---- Go ahead and mod me down, I've got karma to burn.

  10. 1995 called... on Pentagon Cyber-Command In the Works · · Score: 5, Funny

    It wants its buzzword back. Please stop using "Cyber-". Thank you.

  11. Re:Google Case Completely Different on Fair Use Affirmed In Turnitin Case · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but comparing it to the Google case gets the blog writer more hits, so that's why he did it.

  12. Re:Bad user experience, piracy or Linux will win o on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Seriously?

    Linux will win out?

    Joke post?

  13. Re:Someone remind me ... on Why Republicans Won't Retake Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    Unlike Democrats, apparently no Republicans know the real meaning of the term 'Teabagging'.

  14. Re:If it was only about economy... on Why Republicans Won't Retake Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    Used in a sentence: George W. Bush created much prosperity for Blackwater and Halliburton by starting wars.

  15. Re:GOP is captainless, rudderless, clueless on Why Republicans Won't Retake Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    Wow, you make too much sense. Judging by what I've seen just this week, I thought their priorities were: 1. Rename the annual April 15th Tax Day protestors as a sexual euphemism, 2. Secede from the Union, 3. Pimp Chuck Norris.

  16. Re:Religion on Louisiana Rep. Preps State Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids · · Score: 1

    Really? I figured with the Creole population it would be a big Baptist area. Anyways, this just shows you exactly how out of touch certain politicians are... Though, if they don't know what "Teabagging" means, I guess we can't expect them to realize how stupid a bill like this would look to anyone not in their hardcore 20% base.

  17. Re:What do you expect...? on Louisiana Rep. Preps State Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids · · Score: 0, Troll
    I'm a troll? It's trolling to point out that this rep is a fucking moron?

    The entire Republican party is trolling the USA right now. Apparently, they're the ones who aren't "real Americans" and are unpatriotic - just ask Gov. Rick Perry, the Texas secessionist governor.

  18. What do you expect...? on Louisiana Rep. Preps State Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids · · Score: 1, Troll
    What do you expect from the party that sucked us in with their nation-wide Teabagging this week?

    I guess what's really sad is that creating legislation like this will likely get him *more* votes in LA. We just need to make sure there is an exemption for creating monkeys with four asses.

  19. Re:This already occurs in NYS on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 1

    I'm well aware of who is responsible for road upkeep. That's why I posted this point in the mini-thread here discussing high New York State taxes. (Hence the NYS in the subject) Take a minute. Scroll up, or click "Parent" a few times to read. I bet you wish slashdot had a "delete comment" function now, huh? Tool.

  20. Re:This already occurs in NYS on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 1

    So, you don't want any more transportation projects? How are you supposed to travel anywhere if no road work is ever completed? Just from weather damage, many roads would be impassable after only a few years.

  21. Re:What's the problem here? on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 1

    Just remember, kids - this is the change you voted for. If you thought the RIAA harassment was fun before, you ain't seen nothing yet.

    Yes, it was because of the RIAA that everyone voted for Obama. Way to keep things in perspective, buddy.

  22. Re:Boston College is private, right? on College Police Think Using Linux Is Suspicious Behavior · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My first day at a private college, we were explicitly told that the constitution does not apply within their property.

  23. Boston College is private, right? on College Police Think Using Linux Is Suspicious Behavior · · Score: 1

    So.. campus cops can do whatever the hell they want then. Why is there even a story posted here?

  24. Re:a new culture of arrogance and incompetence. on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 1

    Fact: Dick Cheney is evil.
    Opinion: You probably masturbate to Rush Limbaugh.

    Fact: Dick Cheney is evil.
    Fact: Dick Cheney is in the GOP.
    Fact: The GOP, therefore, is at least partially evil.
