  1. Re:assholes on It's the Documentation, Stupid! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Noone wants to read another fucking whine piece by some asshole who likes to hear himself talk.

    So why'd you write it, then, if you realize no one wants to read it?

  2. Re:Wrong approach on Slate On Worms That Plug Security Holes · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What about if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", or "lose" and "loose"? Do we get to kick those people off the 'net too?

  3. Re:Barbie song on Parody or Satire? Threat To Sue JibJab · · Score: 1

    Woody Guthrie = This Land is Your Land
    Arlo Guthrie = Alice's Restaurant

  4. wtf? on Red vs. Blue Season 2 Hits DVD on August 2nd · · Score: -1, Troll

    this is a more useless article than that david brin LOTR rambling email the other day.

    as someone said in that discussion, it's as if slashdot jumped a shark, which then itself jumped a different shark.

  5. Re:Look more carefully on Google Loses Domain Fight Over Froogles.com · · Score: 3, Funny

    actually I think "9/11", like most dates, occured all day.

    Walter Mondale? Is that you?

  7. Re:Not the biggest news about the DNC on Democratic Convention Computer Security Threat? · · Score: 1

    I'm shocked you *ever* thought the Democans were different from the Republicrats.

    Third parties are the only way we'll ever get real change.

  8. Re:No. on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    There is also a company that does this with Porches I believe.

    Man, my porch just sits on the front of my house, not moving. Maybe I need an upgrade.

  9. Re:Quick! on Reverse Firewalls As An Anti-Spam Tool · · Score: 1

    Thank you. That's what i thought when I read the title... "reverse firewall? wtf?" That doesn't mean anything. It's a firewall, period, no matter what 'direction'. It's like "reverse descrimination"... again, a stupid term.

    I'm giving up on the English language and moving to Sindarin.

  10. standards on How Do You Test Your Web Pages? · · Score: 1

    I basically follow the standards, testing on Firewhatever. At intervals, I'll test on IE. If there's a discrepency, I'll use Opera and/or borrow a Mac and use Safari.

    If it works in both Gecko and MSHTML, it's probably fine, I've found. If it doesn't work in one of those, I use Opera or KHTML to find where the problem is. 99% of the time it's with MSHTML and IE.

  11. Re:Cheapest way to play Doom 3 on Doom 3 System Requirements Revealed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ESDF is so much better than WASD. Try it, then assign A and Z to something useful (depending on the game). You'll never go back to WASD. :P

  12. Re:Lets see ... on 'That's All Right' Soon To Enter UK Public Domain · · Score: 1

    Look at his sig, I don't think he cares whether or not he is ignorant... somehow he's convinced that Bush personally fired him, and damn the facts!

  13. Re:Why I'm tired on 32,000 "Why I'm Tired" Emails · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The majority of the /. community, I'd say is smarter than average

    Don't browse at -1, do you? ;)

  14. um, nethack on What's Your Favorite Open Source Game? · · Score: 1

    Nethack, of course. I can't see there being any other possible answer to this question. ;)

    (I've ascended 9 times... I don't want to think about how much game time I've put into NH)

  15. Re:the interesting thing on Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware · · Score: 1

    Who would have thought that Linux would be the first to develop comprehensive software management systems such as apt?

    The first, eh? So, the FreeBSD package system doesn't count?

  16. Re:Playing with fire on ESA Plans Test of Asteroid Defense System · · Score: 1

    Basicly we don't know enuf to change things, and if we change things with out knowing enuf, then we can crash the system. We will never know enuf. ...and you don't know "enough" about spelling, apparently.

  17. Re:This is the European space agency on ESA Plans Test of Asteroid Defense System · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that's why Ariane is reliable.

    lol. I see at least some moderators got the joke there and are modding you 'funny'.

  24. Re:Load times on Google to Distribute Image Ads, Plans Email List Service · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I know Image adverts are not going to appear on Google itself, but 50KB is still 13 seconds for most modem users!

    Yeah, and images take forever to display on my 4 MHz IBM XT, too.
