  1. No. on Is Web 2.0 A Bigger Threat Than Outsourcing? · · Score: 0

    No, it's not. Because the Web 2.0 jobs are also being outsourced.

  2. Codepink clowns.. on FBI Accused of Abusing Criminal Database · · Score: 1, Informative

    For those that haven't read TFA, this is CODEPINK we're talking about. Yes, the same CODEPINK chicks that sneak into the house of reps / state of the union / etc and then start going batshit crazy (because that's an effective method of communication). I'm pretty sure that "sneaking" into US government buildings and causing a ruckus would likely be enough to get yourself on certain lists.

  3. Editorial, not News on FBI Accused of Abusing Criminal Database · · Score: 1

    You're aware of what "OpEd" or "Editorial" means, right?

  4. Wikipedia-killer of the month? on Wikipedia Begets Veropedia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is it just me, or isn't there a similar slashvertisement every month? Even though you'll have to wade through crap on Wikipedia occassionally, it is still vastly superior to any clone that is out there.

  5. Re:Sure, Will. on Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems that you do not know that the largest age group of gamers is 40+. And that their sex is female. Sorry, but I don't see my grandma abandoning her bridge game to boot up her PC and play Spore. And I'm pretty sure your statistics are incorrect.
  6. Known already, for a while. on Complete Set List for Guitar Hero III · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I'm not sure which 14 songs people weren't aware of. The full set list has been available for some time on joystiq, kotaku, and gamefaqs.com, along with hundreds of other sites.

  7. Re:Sure, Will. on Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console · · Score: 1

    Hey, the Sims "Livin' Large" was innovation!

  8. Sure, Will. on Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Will loves the Wii because it expanded the same market he targeted with the Sims, and is apparently targeting with Spore (by making it so excessively easy that idiots can play it). It's really no wonder that he singled the Wii out - it's got the same demographic that he caters to.

  9. Please... on OLPC Experiments With Cow-Powered Laptops · · Score: 1

    This "article" rates at least 6 Courics.

  10. Re:Tough Love. on Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan Takes A Bow · · Score: 1

    You own 10 titles for the Wii? I pity you, as at least 5 of those must be shovelware.

  11. 'Facial' Detection? on Software To Evaluate Facial Expressions Developed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow. I need to get my mind out of the gutter today.

  12. Wow on ARPANet Co-Founder Predicts An Internet Crisis · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Someone submits a slashvertisement, acknowledges it in the summary, and it still gets put on the front page. Brilliant! Also, routing will be just fine. F-U-D.

  13. Re:we need a comet, a big one on Comet Unexpectedly Brightens a Millionfold · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hale Bopp was both large, and bright. So.. not sure where you're going with this.

  14. Can someone confirm this? on Microsoft Forces Desktop Search On Windows Update · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I mean, after all, this is The Register reporting this... not exactly the bastion of journalistic integrity.

  15. Re:Using Automated Lists of suspected on Terror Watch List Swells to More Than 755,000 · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure you typed something wrong there.. but given the way the Dems have handled themselves since last election, it wouldn't be all that surprising to see them shoot themselves in the foot (yet again).

  16. Who cares? on Gen Y Tech Savvy, But Not Interested in a Career · · Score: 1

    It's not like there's an abundance of CS jobs available (unless you're willing to work for peanuts and you're in a third world country). Consider this job "security".

  17. In other news... on Aussie Claims Copper Broadband now 200x Faster · · Score: 3, Insightful

    PhD student advertises thesis on slashdot! News at 11.

  18. Re:Security Conserns of Time Machiene? on A Closer Look At Apple Leopard Security · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Mach-ie-ne? It must be French.

  19. Re:cool on MySpace Makes Plans for Online Gaming Channel · · Score: 1

    That's what Yahoo! Games is for.

  20. Sure, Comcast. on Comcast Admits Delaying, Not Blocking, P2P Traffic · · Score: 5, Funny

    On that note, I'm not "cancelling" my service with you. I'm merely "delaying" signing back up with your company (indefinitely).

  21. Misread that.. on Nintendo Cracks Down on Copying Devices · · Score: 5, Funny
    Heh. I misread the first sentence as:

    Nintendo is cracking down on mod chips and copying devices with the help of the Donkey Kong government. Need more coffee.
  22. Can someone explain how... on VMware, Cisco Plan Data Center OS · · Score: 1

    this differs at all from OpenView?

  23. Fixed. on EVE Online Endures Downtime Due to Breached Security · · Score: -1, Troll

    'What we discovered was an indication that one of our databases was being accessed through a hole in our shitty programming. Fixed.
  24. Re:Took long enough... on Microsoft Finally Bows to EU Antitrust Measures · · Score: 1

    This is the EU we're taking about here, so I wouldn't exactly go nuts about this (IMO). If the EU folds before the payment is made, is it still owed?

  25. Re:Republican = Suck on White House Wins On Spying, Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    You can use these "links" and quote these "sources" all day long. Truth doesn't come from sources and books, it comes from the gut. And my gut tells me that you're a communist.
