  1. Re:Please People, You're Spreading Misinformation on AT&T Suggests To 300K Employees To Lobby the FCC · · Score: 3, Informative

    Unions are a democracy.

    No, they are not. They are just a smaller version of the government, as corrupt and as filthy as them. There was a time when Unions were useful, those days are gone.

  2. Re:Hyperbole much on Sequoia Voting Systems Source Code Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why do you need 88 tables for one voting??

  3. Re:That's one good use for the kiddy guitar on How To Play Poker With Your Rock Band Guitar · · Score: 1

    If you want to pick up women, playing a real guitar is much more effective.

    Depends on the quality of woman you expect. If that's your pick, just go the whole length and create an emocore band.

  4. Re:So... on Judge Rules Games Are "Expressive Works" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So if it quacks like a duck, floats like a duck, but you call it goose it is game, but call it duck and you have to pay?

  5. Re:We never needed them before on Children's Watch Allows Parents To Track Their Kid · · Score: 1

    Did anything change around the world in this millennium? Maybe more violence, bigger cities, more cars. The fact that we were able to know where in our farm your kid was 200 years ago, doesn't mean it is the same now.

  6. Re:And more to the point on India's First Stealth Fighter To Fly In 4 Months · · Score: 1

    What amazes me are the people suckered in by his "socialist" stance. The guy is NOT a socialist. He's a totalitarian thug. He just uses socialist propaganda to get power. However because he spews rhetoric people like, they completely overlook what he actually does.

    That's why Rhetoric need to be put back on all schools curricula. It is a necessity to stop people from buying this bullshit.

    (a) It's a strange dictator who wins by free and fair elections, multiple times.

    Fair. Strange thing to call an election that had acusations of fraud and were not foreign accounted fair. Where did I see that recently before, oh yes, Iran.

    (d) In what universe is changing the law so that you can run for election any number of times the same as making yourself president for life?

    An universe were you have completely control of all the media and oil money to keep it going. What good is an opposition when that opposition cannot do any type of propaganda and only the government can? What good is a regimen where if you are from the opposition you get arrested and\or exiled on bogus charges. Where did I see it before? Oh yes, on all the Military Dictatorships we had here.

    (a) If a major US television station had (i) collaborated in the (unconstitutional) attempted military overthrow of the United States government, and

    Proved it. They were charged without any proof of participating.

    (ii) consistently referred to Obama as "the nigger" on air, do you think that such a station would be allowed to continue to broadcast? I have a bridge for sale if you think so.

    Oh, so you can't make any critics of the President. Nice. Do you like a country like that? Good to know. I have a country in Africa you would like to live in.

    The perception we have here in Brazil, both from him and from his best friend in Ecuador, Rafael Correa is that it is just a matter of time before that happens.

  10. Re:How is this a Patent Troll? on TiVo Relaunching As a Patent Troll? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IMO if you're trying to collect on an obvious idea, you're a patent troll. I doubt there's a single slashdotter here (except maybe NYCL) who couldn't have made a DVR out of an old laptop, a few roofing nails and a bananna. And most of us could have done it without the nails and bananna.

    Interesting, if so why didn't you do? It is very easy to say things are obvious after the fact. For me it is obvious that planes can fly, and dead obvious why, that was not the case back then.

    Now, if there is prior art, and if someone proves that WHEN they made it, is was pretty obvious how to do it efficient, kudos, and the patent will get invalid. If not, they have the right to go after anyone.

  12. Re:How about some nice menus instead? on Preview the Office 2007 Ribbon-Like UI Floated For OpenOffice.Org · · Score: 1

    I've griped about this before... I'm sure the Ribbon has potential, IF IMPLEMENTED WELL, but it wasn't. Maybe Open Office will get it right.

    And that's a valid point. The Ribbon is good, really good, but they misplaced a lot of the icons. As of now I have a really hard time moving back to Word 2003, for example. And OO is even worst. The menu are bland, look awful and are far from practical. If Sun do it well, and make the new menu bar make sense it will be incredible.

    After that they only need to make Calc any good. Because that program sucks.

  13. Re:I am clearly missing something on Building the Sports MMO Genre · · Score: 1

    Why do people keep using this argument? It is so empty and shallow that it is getting tired.

    Silly man(or woman), playing an sport video game is different than playing the same sport. Completely. And one may be good on one of those without been good on the other. And some have fun playing one of those and not the other.

    How is this so hard to understand?

  14. You guys pay for that? on David Pogue Wants to Take Back the Beep · · Score: 1

    Here in Brazil we have a ~7sec message about voicemail, but you only start PAYing after the message is over and you get the actually voicemail.

  15. Re:No gratitude? on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 1

    I get the impression that if Linus says it is right, all the others, including his praisers are wrong. The guy may be smart be he is such a douchebag that I think Linux, as of now, would be better with a better "leader".

    That is called FUD. Get the current buzzword related to technology, and just go and make like the OO movement is off the hook on it.

  22. Re:Madoff is not the only one with greed on Madoff Sentenced To 150 Years · · Score: 1

    wait, what??? You are seriously saying that the fact that I searched for a good deal makes me a type of "criminal", or at least responsible for some nefarious scheme? Even with the fact that I had no bloody idea this was going on?!?!?

    Remember, Madoff had respect. People trusted him, and trusted his judgment. Everyone thought he was on the right and doing the right thing. No one expect this. And now, suddenly, those that invested are guilty!?!?!? And not only that, there are people that didn't even know they had investments with Madoff, they would investment in a foreign bank, on a hedge fund. And this bank would invest on Madoff's fund.

    I'm sure I'm been trolled, and I will lose mod points by reply, but the fact that you are score:5 is just impressive
