  1. I call BS on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I quit WoW several months ago, but I know for a fact there are achievements for "Server First Max Skill XXX" where XXX is some tradeskill. I contend that is impossible for one player to become the server's first max skill leatherworker, blacksmith, alchemist, enchanter, and engineer (plus there's a few more) so there is no possible way he could attain "ALL" the achievements.

  2. Re:Heh, simple. Don't update. on Microsoft Investigates Windows 7 "Black Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    For you maybe. Fortunately I know what I'm doing, and have been since before you were born....

    -- If I had an Ass (equus asinus), I'd call it Fanny Bottom. Then I could slap my Ass; Fanny Bottom, on the Arse.

    You know what they say about assumptions? What am I saying, of COURSE you know.

  3. Re:Backfire on PETA on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    They believe it is ethically wrong to slaughter animals for food I believe just the opposite: it is morally wrong to kill an animal and then NOT eat it.

    That's not really what he was saying. He was saying the most extreme members think that ALL slaughter is bad, whereas the more moderate PETA members (well, it's all relative) believe that slaughter is OK as long as it is done "humanely". So, no throwing live chickens into boiling water, that sort of thing.

    If only it were that easy.

  5. Re:Before you click! on HTTP Intermediary Layer From Google Could Dramatically Speed Up the Web · · Score: 0

    In the future, the content will be loaded before you click! Unfortunately, it's not like it today, so I didn't make the first post...

    You need to have more faith in yourself, man.

  6. Re:You know what they say... on Microsoft Disconnects Modded Xbox Users · · Score: 1

    one of which he claims is never played online.

    If it is never played online, then how would he know it was banned and why would he care?

  7. Re:we care on Towards a Permission-Based Web · · Score: 1

    My dad(*) doesn't have a clue why it's important.

    What, so just because he's a man, he must be clueless? That's pretty sexist.

  8. Re:Price on Nintendo Announces DSi XL · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When your portable costs more then your home system, something is wrong with your pricing path.

    Yes, since laptops have never cost more than desktops.

  9. Re:Ammonia, Detergents or Scents? on Clean Smells Promote Ethical Behavior · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The public knows no better.

    Actually, they really don't. But at least they don't care, either.

  10. Re:Apply it on MPs and Ministers first on EU Paves the Way For Three-Strikes Cut-Off Policy · · Score: 1

    Can the Mayor fire the Police Chief?

    The police already killed his dogs for no reason, imagine what they'll do to him if he fires the chief!

  11. Re:"Stud Dogs" troll wanted on First Public White-Space Network Is Alive · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm just saying, as an Anonymous Coward the least he could do is find a copy of said "stud dog" troll and just post the damn thing himself.

  12. Re:"Stud Dogs" troll wanted on First Public White-Space Network Is Alive · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Somebody please post the "stud dogs" troll!

    Laziest first post ever.

    The loss of liberty is worse than any disease.

    Which liberty are you losing, exactly? It was my understanding that this vaccine is voluntary.

  14. Re:The number is... 42? on Secret ACTA Treaty May Sport "Internet Enforcement" Procedures After All · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they were drafting an agreement seeking to protect whiny sensationalist articles on the Internet I'm sure Slashdot would be given advanced versions of the draft.

    If you think this, you are wrong.

  15. Re:Surprising on China Strangles Tor Ahead of National Day · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's actually quite interesting what Chinese goverment is capable of on technical terms. Most of the goverments are quite clueless when it comes to computer and internet stuff, but Chinese seem to be on the track always.

    The Chinese government is capable because unlike most countries, it has to be. For countries like the U.S., Japan, and most European countries, the citizens are fairly free to go about their business without fear of government reprisal. So, these countries simply don't care (nor do they need to care) about the best ways to shut off their citizens' freedoms.

    Other highly controlling countries, such as North Korea, have citizens who simply don't have access to these things to begin with, so there is no need to shut them off.

  16. Re:For $11 Million on Delta Air Lines Sued Over Alleged E-mail Hacking · · Score: 5, Funny

    You forgot about the part where you would also have to start an advocacy group and work hard enough to piss someone off enough to care about.

    Great point. What would I have to do for just $5 million?

  17. For $11 Million on Delta Air Lines Sued Over Alleged E-mail Hacking · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd be sure to "accidentally" leave my password lying around in plain sight.

    That's funny. Too bad you posted anonymously and are buried behind about fifty "Why didn't they say 1 in 250,000?!" redundant posts.

    Because that is totally going to fix the problem.

    It sure as hell will. They should have done that 9 weeks ago!

  23. Re:Paypal uses an EV cert. on Null-Prefix SSL Certificate For PayPal Released · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it's the null-prefix that is the issue. Furthermore, if it weren't an exploit, I doubt it would be worth all the hullabaloo.

    Naw, only one of them actually infringed. But Eolas will be damned to tell us which one. We'll let the American justice system sort it out.
