  1. Re:Guess who's not taking part? on World IPv6 Day: Most-watched Tech Event Since Y2K · · Score: 2

    Dabble in the new? Slashdot can't even deploy Ajax correctly.
    Slashdot still has its place, but it's definitely a 'legacy' website.

  2. Re:I sort of agree on Stallman: eBooks Are Attacking Our Freedoms · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's a vote for DRM though.

    1. Can't find eBook in a non-restricted format
    2. Download for free
    3. Profit

    It doesn't matter if the industry reacts by piling on more DRM though. Someone who isn't me, i.e. the consumers who accept DRM get screwed, and I get a superior free product.
    Zero tolerance on DRM!

  3. Re:The article is the summary is the article? on Usenet With a 30 Year Lag · · Score: 2

    I can't stop RTFA

  4. Re:No big secret here on Wikileaks Cables Say No Bloodshed Inside Tiananmen Square · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Does it make that much of a difference if the students were slaughtered in the squares, or just round the corner?

  5. Re:Causing cancer on Brain Cancer Worries? Look Up Your Phone's SAR · · Score: 1

    You've spammed the world.
    Now I know why my headphones came with a warning label saying: "Chewing this cable could cause cancer in the state of California".

  6. ipad 3 on Chinese Boy Sells Kidney For iPad2 · · Score: 1

    What will he do when ipad 3 comes out?

    Stop buying Apple crap, you freedom hating/indifferent morons.

  8. Typo on Researcher Claims Magnets Can Affect Blood Viscosity · · Score: 2
  9. Social networking on Google's Schmidt Says He 'Screwed Up' On Social Networking · · Score: 1

    Social networking is World of Warcraft, for girls.

  10. Re:Ah skype, I'll sure will miss you (not) on Skype Issues Software Fix For Windows and Mac Users · · Score: 2

    Interesting use of Data URLs for Goatse linking.

  11. Re:Linux updates on Skype Issues Software Fix For Windows and Mac Users · · Score: 2

    2.2.0.25 is packaged for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and SUSE.

    I personally like how the Linux version is neglected, because it doesn't get all the faddy junk features.
    Last time I saw win skype, it looked worse than QQ.

  12. Walled garden on Amazon Challenges Apple With Mac App Store · · Score: 0

    Apple don't need a legal battle, they could just pull the DRM plug.

  13. Re/vertisement on Mint It Yourself With a Browser-Based Bitcoin Miner · · Score: 1

    Remember it's not a dupe any more, it's a ReSlash.

  14. Re:My Username.. on Who Owns Your Social Identity? · · Score: 1

    I sometimes get mistaken for a real doctor.

  15. Re:Apocolypse on Facebook Wants To Buy Skype · · Score: 1

    Google has a low evil to power ratio.

  16. Re:"Real Life"? on Real Life Farmville · · Score: 1

    Roads? If I was in charge of your local council, I would bulldoze all your roads, and replace them with light rail.
    Sure it would be more expensive, and how you get on and off the train is an exercise left for the commuter, but the nasty traffic problem would simply go away.

  17. Re:So? on Forty Years of P=NP? · · Score: 1

    Are you the only person who couldn't be bothered to look it up?

  18. Democracy doesn't work on My Crowdsourced Follow-Up About Crowdsourcing · · Score: 1

    I'll say it.

    Democracy doesn't work. I want my information organised by smart algorithms (Google); not stupid people (facebook).

  19. Re:Sony isn't using the term "massive identity the on 77 Million Accounts Stolen From Playstation Network · · Score: 2

    Massively Unexpected Online Identity Theft.

  20. Re:I wonder which government on Apple Logging Locations of All iPhone Users · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do you really need to invoke a government conspiracy? This is Apple we're talking about.

  21. Re:Trusted ID on White House Releases Trusted Internet ID Plan · · Score: 1

    but at least they know if the signature block isn't there. It is not from me.

    Yeah, I do something similar.

  22. Hijra on Pakistan's Transgender Tribe of Tax Collectors · · Score: 1

    Hijra "have no exact match in the modern Western taxonomy of gender and sexual orientation."

  23. Re:*Cough* on Chinese Censors Crack Down on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness slashdot is different.
    We have diligent human editors, working hard to make sure none of the twitter/facebook garbage, and digg-style democratically elected non-news, makes it to the hallowed front page.

  24. Re:Mockery on Can't Get a Real Girlfriend? Get a "Cloud" Girlfriend · · Score: 2

    She's a gold digger. You're a a gold farmer.

  25. 1984 on Chinese Censors Crack Down on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    This is just a historical revisionism / always at war with Oceania / business as usual thing.
    They even bothered to get a picture of the Delorean to go with the extremely tenuous headline.
