  1. Re:Negative Impact on Interview with MPAA Chief Dan Glickman · · Score: 1

    >"Piracy has a tremendous negative impact on
    >consumers."

    Well, if you consider consumers of moviegoers' dollars, he's exactly right!

  2. Re:DRM? on 3D Printing in Stone, or Copy a Sculpture in Rock · · Score: 1

    If this machine can make Venus de Milo knockoffs with arbitrary precision, it can save the data it uses to carve.

    I think I could stand a little imprecision around the chest area.....

    He meant NetBSD

    The truth is, bullshitters are by far the largest majority here on /.

  5. Re:Some choice quotes from Jabberwacky.. on Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway · · Score: 1

    That's no more incoherent than half the quotes on Bash

  6. Re:Ummm.. yeah. on U.S. Army Warns Microsoft To Back Off · · Score: 1

    >Pretty good overall, but his resume is in MS Word
    >format. What is that all about?

    It's about 99% of the business world being unable to accept your resume in anything BUT MS Word format.

    People are stupid, HR folks doubly so.

  7. Re:Mainframe Linux Study on Microsoft Rolls Out New Anti-Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    So they are comparing a large enterprise size mainframe with a small departmental server. Talk about comparing apples with oranges.

    This study is a lot more like comparing watermelons and grapes.

  8. Re:Its crap but just as crap as anyone else on Looking Back At Windows Security In 2003 · · Score: 1

    Granted, almost anything based in silicone could be considered a "computer"...

    How about a Beowulf cluster of Pamela Andersons?

  9. Re:200,000 lights??? on Christmas Lighting in Abundance · · Score: 1

    In related news... 1/3 of San Francisco without power

    And the power went out just 20 minutes before the end of Return of the King.
    Now I'll never know how it ends!

  10. Re:OK here it comes... on Global Warming Brings Better Wine · · Score: 2, Funny

    What the **** has global warming to do with a windows emulator?

    Hey! WINE is Not and emulator!

  11. Re:Here's another one. on RIAA Obtains Subpoenas Against File Swappers · · Score: 1

    Here's another one. Don't break the law. The courts don't give a damn what you think about music or the RIAA.

    Fuck the law. The law is wrong. As a free American I am under no obligation to obey a purchased law.

  12. Troll and Offtopic don't seem quite right.... on Nearly 2 Million Active Sites running FreeBSD · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What we really need is more downmod options, like "Stupid fool", "Moron", "Cum-gargling gutterslut" or "Too inbred to think". Clearly these would be more specific to the type of BSD troll who links to early-90s filesystem research papers and claims that it has any relevance today.

  13. Will they add an Easter Egg too? on Protecting Cities from Hijacked Planes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Left, right, left, right, up, down, up, down, left pedal, right pedal, barrel roll left, hit the autopilot button, and BLAMMO, the names of the dev team are scrolling over the inflight movie.
    Sounds like a recipe for air sickness bag sales!

  14. What a great idea, just underutilized... on Games Tax To Fund Obesity Prevention? · · Score: 1

    How about we tax law schools, law firms, political parties and bribes^H^H^H^H^H^Hcampaign contributions and use the proceeds to fund educational programs to prevent people from turning into politicians? Tax assholes to prevent them turning into lawyers?
    Seems logical to me.

  15. Re:Hardly DOS is it on DOS Attack Via US Postal Service · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just mail him a postcard that says "PING" and see how long it takes him to reply.

  16. Re:Help me here... on OpenBSD Packet Filter Changes Syntax Language · · Score: 3, Funny

    I understand that one of the big reasons for this change is that a lot of the German developers were dissatisfied with the "keep state" modifier. The new pf interrogates suspicious packets in an unspecified location on the motherboard, or maybe a foreign motherboard, where packets have fewer rights. In any case, for maximum security, change everything that says "keep state" to "Unterhaltpolizeizustand".

  17. Re:Slashdot entry on Teach A Robot To Drive, Win A Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    I have a '94 Saturn. Let's rock.

    I'd like to add my '93 Camry. We're just one car shy of a Beowulf cluster!

    For a moment I was afraid that link was a redirect to goatse.cx....

  19. Re:Most Accurate Portrayal of a Computer Award... on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1

    And she says it while sitting in front of a Macintosh. Looked like Quadras to me. Need more proof they were actually Macs? The scene when Nedry is talking over the 'video link' to the ship at the docks. Look at the bottom of the video window and notice the Quicktime movie position scroller thumb thing scooting merrily along.

  21. Re:lol on ALICE vs. ALICE · · Score: 1

    Finally, I think this quote says it all, "Do unto others what you wish others to do unto you."
    That earns me a restraining order every time.

    Disney: "You can have Micky Mouse, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers"

  23. Re:Intelligent pr0n filters.. on Predicting User Behavior to Improve Security · · Score: 1

    If someone could come up with a box that could filter pages based on the amount of pink within the images I could delete 80% of my outgoing firewall rules at work!

    I assume the other 20% of rules cover the interracial and black pr0n sites?
