  1. No! on US Light Bulb Phase-Out's Next Step Begins Next Month · · Score: 4, Funny

    I haven't gotten over being mad about them phasing out buggy whips yet!!

  2. Re:lol asshole on Iran's Web Censorship Filters Supreme Leader's Own Statement · · Score: 1

    No, some islamic extremists hate us because there are haters everywhere and haters gonna hate. It's no different here. Look in the mirror.

  3. Re:Silence is golden on Ask Slashdot: Tech Manufacturers With Better Labor Practices? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That doesn't excuse it. If slavery is required to make cell phones at a reasonable price then we'll have to do without.

  4. Re:Senator Kay Hutchinson, representing Texas on Congress Warns NASA About Shortchanging SLS/Orion For Commercial Crew · · Score: 1

    We've got a place. We need to stop destroying it for the greed of a few selfish people. If we don't destroy the planet, future generations will look back on us in disgust. We'll be known in the history books as the "Generation of Greed".

  5. Re:Sorry... on Court Reinstates $675k File Sharing Verdict · · Score: 0

    I'd say something nasty here but I'm not a republican Thank God.

  6. Re:Wow on NASA Discovers 7th Closest Star · · Score: 1

    Or maybe our gas giants which are producing more heat then they receive from the sun are Y dwarf stars.

  7. Purpose on Pakistan Court Orders Facebook Ban Over Mohammed Images · · Score: 1

    Of course people can draw Mohammed if they want to. But how many
    people really have a burning desire to draw him? Just because you
    can do something doesn't mean you should. If you're just drawing
    Mohammed because you know it will insult a lot of people then you're
    an ass.

  8. radio on Hacking Automotive Systems · · Score: 4, Funny

    I want to know how they made the radio blow hot air.

  9. Re:Obligatory George Carlin Quote on What Does Google Suggest Suggest About Humanity? · · Score: 1

    Thanks alot. Now I'm scared to go out to do the laundry. :-(

  10. Re:Title misleading, er, totally wrong on Microsoft Exec Says, "You'll Miss Vista" · · Score: 1

    I don't know why so many people hate vista. My own experience has been positive. Of course I don't build my own box and struggle to find device drivers for obscure hardware. My laptop came from Wal-Mart and "just worked".
    I wonder how many people who hate vista have actually used it much since it came out. I hated XP when it first came out. I cursed it daily. But after the bugs were ironed out it was great. I think Vista is the same way. I don't believe this box has ever BSOD'd. Applications and one driver have failed without bringing down the OS. I don't know how long of an uptime I can get because I used to shutdown daily before installing BOINC but I've ran it for days recently with no signs of slowdown or instability.

  11. Re:wrong on Gamefly Complains of Poor Treatment From USPS · · Score: 1

    The post office in my area has no problem delivering me my mail or my neighbors mail or the mail from the next building. Sometimes I think I'm Radar O'Reilly.

  12. Didn't read the article? on SCO Backing Off Linux Invoice Plan · · Score: 1

    How is that insightful? The article clearly states that the 84% refers to those CIO's with linux installation plans.

  13. Re:Partner = Slashdot on Supercomputing: Raw Power vs. Massive Storage · · Score: 1

    Or you can just fill out the free reg. like I did years ago and never have to worry about it again. Then you can sit back and laugh at all the slashdot readers whining about the free reg.

  14. Wow on Kid-Safe Domain Created · · Score: 1

    I wish freenet had that many pages!

  15. Easy on Shocker: Despicable Conduct From Disney · · Score: 2, Informative

    They stopped voting.

  16. Re:So far, he isn't. on XBOX Media Player 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Yah, well we'll see what happens now that slashdot has pointed it out to him.

  17. Email's not going anywhere on Email (As We Know It) Doomed? · · Score: 1

    I don't know why people have such trouble anyway. Does everyone poorly protect their email address or what? I've had my email address forever and I get very little spam. My procmail block consists of a single email address of a person I don't want to talk to or know.

  18. Dejavu on Microsoft Profit and Loss by Business Area · · Score: 1

    You going to post this on every story 'til you get above score 0?

  19. I agree with that. on As the Spam Turns · · Score: 1

    I think if a site is supporting or constantly sending out spam it makes sense to be put on a block list but it seems like people put you on a blocklist at the drop of a hat. I use a system with many users that fights hard to stop spam and will kick anyone who sends spam. Now and then someone spams and is stopped but of course by that time we're blocked. Hasn't happened in a long time but just the other day a user sent out a few hundred emails and bam we're blacklisted. Now hundreds of people are paying for that guys mistake.

  20. Back in high school on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    I believe it was an old apple. I ran a program and got the message.
    Out of paper error in line 40.
    (No the program had nothing to do with a printer)

    Then there was the time I wrote a c program at the university that crashed the compiler.

  21. Re:No longer in progress: Draw on First Kramnik vs DeepFritz, In Progress · · Score: 1

    "For only $45 you can get the single processor version. No point in paying double the price to get your butt kicked."

    No point in paying anything. For many players I think, there is plenty of challenge in free chess programs available online.

  22. Re:About time on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 1

    I think it's already been made fairly clear by the courts that allowing a file you own to be available to millions is not fair use so the uploader is liable. The downloader is not liable because how did he know the file he was downloading was illegal.

  23. Re:Please excuse the enormous decoy on Microsoft's Overlooked Code Theft · · Score: 1

    It wasn't missed. I submitted this story to slashdot last year but apparently it wasn't considered newsworthy at that time.

  24. There is security on Wireless Registers May Expose Your Credit Card · · Score: 1

    According to the article security is available but the store can turn it on or off.

  25. Re:Just a question on Your Fingerprint Buys Groceries in Seattle · · Score: 1

    8 Fuck's in 6 sentences might explain it.
