  1. Re:Irony on The 5 Users You'd Meet in Hell · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a certain Star Trek episode:

    "It's over Q! I want you out of my life! You're arrogant, you're overbearing, and you think you know everything!"
    "But... I do know everything."
    "That makes it even worse."

    And is it a coincidence that 216 has a prime number of prime divisors?

    That's easy. Ask what time it is. Wait for long explanation.

    Result: It's one hour later!

  4. This isn' t news on Microsoft Disses Windows to Sell More Windows · · Score: 1

    About 2 years ago, my university invited a micorosoft promoter to talk about Vista. The majority of the time he talked about the security. He started with a comparison between XP and Linux. Who ran root as standard in XP and who ran root standard in Linux. He said that XP security sucked since it was too easy(and convenient) to run as standard root. After that he claimed that Vista had improved security considerably and that we should all download it(we have a deal with MS at our university).

    I seriously doubt that this is a unique form of presentation regarding OS promotion.

    So what do you do with articles about keyboard layouts?

  6. Re:Just what we need on Gene Found to Explain Repeated Mistakes · · Score: 1

    Well, scientists find excuses for shitty behavior all the time and blame it on genetics. They should at least be kicked in the nuts for it.

  7. Re:Meh. on The Register Exposes More Wikipedia Abuse · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nothing prevents the "iron law of olichargy", so I ask: Why bother? Why don't you create a olichargy from the start and try to control it? Why let an egalitarian society slip into an unfair olichargy rather than having a well structured one from the beginning?

  8. Yes but..... on New Neutron Scatter Camera to Detect Smuggled Nukes · · Score: 1

    Yes, but does it detect nucular weapons?

  9. Re:Simpler explanations on Why Microsoft's Zune is Still Failing · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    PAlso note that the person who wrote this is a Slashdot type A person.

    A Slashdot type A person is a libertarian atheist who hates Microsoft and loves Linux to death. He has a beowolf cluster of pc's running Linux and also a private pc running a quadruple boot Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat/Gentoo. At first Suse was installed but after the Novell deal he threw it off. He also has 3 iPods, including one from the first generation. They also worship Apple in their basement and dream of a girlfriend.

    So don't expect to get any unbiased information about Microsoft from them.

    Also, don't ask him for legal advice. They simple rant about unfair laws and how big government is screwing everbody with their privacy-invading gadgets.

    Yes, that's possible but the importance of SUSE is declining. Not some I would like to report to my boss.

    Even better: the archive where it's stored gets corrupted. I mean, that happens all the time and is a pretty good defence.

  18. Re:The United States is throughly corrupt. on Bill Would Tie Financial Aid To Anti-Piracy Plans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Revolution is a nasty and bloody business that only needs to be used as a last resort. Simply vote out the old parties and vote in new parties. If that doesn't happen people are so lazy tata even a revolution won't help.

    Politicians ARE practical. It is very practical to line your pockets with money when you have some power.

    Ideology is what makes a society better(or worse, depending on your pov).

    That's a false dichotomy. It isn't or or. No I don't want to spend money on a lost war but I also don't want to spend money on someone else's parties.

    What is free speech if there are repercussions when you say something other people don't like. It doesn't matter if the government censors me or if a company or organisation censors me. If I get censored, I do not have (truly) free speech.
