    And they both had to walk up hill in the snow to and from the tool shop
    You got a few of these "magic bolts" that can blow out threads with the force or whatever?

  2. Let us not forget that it was Vanilla Ice that got the visit from Mr. Knight.
    It makes me feel good, still.

    Friend, this is Slashdot, posting has never required the reading of an article.
    But I see your point QuietLagoon is feeding the troll by responding.

    What do you imagine the pricing is like on a 480TB SSD?

    43TB of writes on a 0.48TB drive isn't great but it's better than on a 480TB.

    I thought for sure that I had missed the [Satire] tag

  8. name caller on Nintendo Posts Yet Another Loss, Despite Mario Kart 8 · · Score: 0

    You see, I know how to Google. I even remember "The Great Video Game Crash Of 1983"
    I also know that just name dropping Sid Meier does not make your argument any stronger.
    A snarky link to a Wikipedia article with warnings to its factual accuracy and reliability doesn't help.

    And this is some how a good thing?

    I'm sure that some law will prohibit forcing people to have their recent diet tested to be a passenger...

    No "law" is going to prevent the TSA from deploying this against everyone who flies
    or takes a train
    or a bus
    or drives
    or uses public buildings
    or looks suspicious
    you know, Terrorists

    Your magic door way to the employment office (with death ray?) will also be good for keeping out anyone with any cash or Tylenol. Are you really prepared to bet you job that you haven't touched either? I'm not suggesting that you use drugs but your money does. American money is so soaked with cocaine you can almost chew it like coca leaves. If the trucking industry is so filled with Drug Addicts maybe the problem is deeper than "scaring away applicants"
    Now, if we can come up with a skin test for prostitute killing psyco I think we might have some thing.

  12. I think that they may find that Judges do not care for being "mislead"
    this would also be a fine time for them to dust off their judicial contempt sticks.

    I can't tell if you're joking, or insane and trying to fit world events into religious delusions.

    no, no one has ever had anything to say about emacs vs. vim.

    I am all for exploring solutions and like the linux community as a whole but let us not pretend that flame wars in FSF lands haven't started over less.

    no, Breach the contract and DARE the manufacturer to sue you for damages.

  19. Re:Giving credit where credit is due... on Cops Say NDA Kept Them from Notifying Courts About Cell Phone Tracking Gadget · · Score: 2

    Ignorance might be the excuse they try but just signing the NDA is conspiracy.
    and the last time I checked ignorance of the law is still not a valid excuse.
    it sounds like racketeering on the part of the manufacturer.
    and it SHOULD result in the release of what sounds like a sexual predator.
    And isn't tricking every cell phone in range a DMCA violation?

    that was my first question. Is the Operator supposed to wear this while it works?

    that sounds like a step down the slope of Communism.
    The kind of people who throw away whole libraries wouldn't dream of letting people have the books for free.
    They aren't trying to privatize the library, they are trying to bury it.
    It's about making information that you don't want go away.

    Society has been rolling along quite nicely with the "Most Violent Murderers" and the biggest thieves and the worst liars all intact.
    Cleaning them up is a nice phrase, but what you mean is kill them.
    I'd not like to take part in any killing, even if it makes you more comfortable.
