  1. Re:Iran used to be called Persia... on Iran Unveils Flying Saucer Using Old B-Movie Stock Photo · · Score: 1

    ...so can we consider this an update of a 'flying carpet'?

    holy crap! it just struck me that the so called flying carpet was some advanced alien technology and that the conspiracy theorists are right about alien contact in ancient times!

  2. Re:Much ado about nothing ... on 2011 MacBook Pros Confirmed To Crash Under Load · · Score: 1

    damn I had to read your post to understand that we are talking about processing load and software crash.

  3. Re:A very sad day on UN Intervention Begins In Libya · · Score: 1

    Normally I would agree with you. The US the big bully etc. But the rest of the world doesn't want an unstable Libya because Europe will be affected negatively. So we protect ourselves YES that's what anyone would do! (Europe and US are together). Moreover, the goverment of Libya seems to be no saint and they kill their own people. So we also protect others in the meantime. Ofcourse, if we were not affected by this, we wouldn't give a flying fuck about it.

    You must be in management because you have no idea how to do that yet you think it's a great idea.

  7. Re:I dont want to drag anything. on GNOME To Lose Minimize, Maximize Buttons · · Score: 1

    I haven't tried it but my idea is drag quick from the titlebar for a split of a second downwards for minimize, and drag quick for a split of a second upwards for maximize. Try it is not hard. Also you save mouse movement if you have a big screen and you dont want to move the mouse all the way to the upper corner.

  8. Re:Has slashdot been taken over by The Onion? on GNOME To Lose Minimize, Maximize Buttons · · Score: 1

    In Gnome 4 they will also remove windows since they take up so much space. Simple command-liners are much faster and make more sense right?

  9. Re:Is that really well tested in the real world? on GNOME To Lose Minimize, Maximize Buttons · · Score: 1

    Maximize all your windows by default, that's what I do.

    I have a 25 inch monitor you insensitive clod.

    you are so good at criticising while you have no idea what good will come out from this project, nor what has been learnt from the research behind it.

  11. Re:The way the Swedish 'rape' laws are on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    Make all the fun you want, but if you walk everyday to work and most women look like this: http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&q=swedish+women, that will change your mind about Sweden's laws.

  15. Re:I cannot condone this on 8-Year-Olds Publish Scientific Bee Study · · Score: 1

    yeah, you must be really fun at parties.

    I have published a couple of papers. And with all of my statistical analysis and academia BS, at least I find this paper much more inspiring than my own. Science is not only about statistics you know. This paper can have more impact than you think.

  16. Re:Who does this even affect? on Periodic Table of Elements To Get an Update · · Score: 1

    well I for one as a hard-core geek I have tatooed the periodic table on my back. Now that sucks.

    It also sucks that I can only read it through two mirrors but that's something else entirely.

  17. Re:Just more extreme on Thief Posts His Photo To Facebook Victim's Account · · Score: 1

    Dude. His picture is now on /.. His picture can go on the newspapers and any other media. If I was the victim I would fucking post it everywhere. At least the chances of someone calling the police would increase.

    Moreover, do you know that social networks are small-world networks and highly clustered (six degrees of separation and all). With some social network analysis I could increase my chances even more. With facebook even more!.

    It's all a matter of perspective: my dad tying his shoelaces would have been a major achievement, considering he had Parkinson's diseases.

    Historically speaking, and for man-kind... we don't care about your dad (unless there was a medicine involved which cured him, but that would make the newspaper so it wouldn't be a boring day after all).
