  1. Re:Confirmed on Why Mark Zuckerberg Is a Bad Role Model For Aspiring Tech Execs · · Score: 1

    From the makers of "the exception that proves the rule," here comes "it's not a myth because it happened more than once!"

  2. Re:And... on Why Mark Zuckerberg Is a Bad Role Model For Aspiring Tech Execs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    THIS

    Forget any minor shit about his education, Zuckerberg is a real-life supervillain, destroying humanity's concept of privacy and commercializing human relationships for his own personal gain.

  3. Re:iNferior on Apple Loses Bid For Emergency Ban On HTC Phone Imports · · Score: 1

    iOS has always been one of the shittier mobile OSes. Even if it was the most technically advanced at launch, the artificial limitations hobbled it so that it could never hope to be as good as the more open mobile OSes that used to exist. Now it's still just as closed (and thus shitty) on top of being technically inferior to Android (which is still too closed for my taste).

  4. Re:I just can't wait... on Apple Loses Bid For Emergency Ban On HTC Phone Imports · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't bet on it. Apple has more spare cash on hand than any corporation on the planet and is much cozier with the media industries.

  5. Re:Wires on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    So Americans are larger because they are less dense? :-P

  6. Re:Without power? on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    Wind turbines only fail in high winds if something is wrong with them (unless the entire structure gets knocked over somehow). A correctly operating wind turbine will adjust the blade pitch to either shut down safely or continue operating in high winds.

  7. Re:really?? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    A pretty large percent? More like "Almost all."

  8. Re:Search (as most people use it) not CLI on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    Google actually used to allow you to do something very much like that but they seem to have removed the functionality.

  9. Re:Just what they want Linux to become ? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    I've set up quite a few average lusers with Ubuntu machines who don't know what a CLI is or how to open a terminal window. It took a good bit of CLI work up front for most of them but now I don't need to touch those computers.

  10. Re:suggestions for anti-p2p block lists? on Don't Forget: "Six Strikes" Starts This Weekend · · Score: 1

    Bluetack has free blocklists, and you can pirate those paid lists...

  11. Re:Make your vote count DON'T BUY SONY on Don't Forget: "Six Strikes" Starts This Weekend · · Score: 1

    Greenwashing, openwashing and now indiewashing...I wonder what they'll think of next.

    BTW you can enjoy PS2 games without giving Sony a dime using PCSX2 and torrented disc images.

  12. Re:Freenet is still here on Don't Forget: "Six Strikes" Starts This Weekend · · Score: 1

    I think torrents over I2P is more relevant here...

  13. Iran already did it on GPS Spoofing Attack Hacks Drones · · Score: 1, Redundant

    That's how they brought down that blended-wing-body drone a while back.

  14. Re:Absolutely essential tech on Ask Slashdot: How To Add New Tech To Old Van? · · Score: 1

    The ladder on the back is to make it easier to put a mattress on the roof and then climb up there ;-)

  15. Re:Yeah, sure! on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    The first episode of Terra Nova is probably the best look at the future of our society as it's headed now. It would have been interesting to spend at least one more episode in the "present."

  16. Re:Dinosaurs on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    The tropics are plenty hot enough for dinosaurs. If you want mega-insects back though, you'll need higher oxygen levels.

  17. Re:Standard PR on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    Don't compare AGW denial with trepanation, that actually did save some people's lives. Witch-burning or bleeding with leeches is probably a better comparison.

  18. Re:Standard PR on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    Gravity is a conspiracy propagated by the airline and construction industries! They just want you to pay for cranes and flight tickets!

  19. Re:Standard PR on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    And since lots of you tree hugger types have helped the planet have more trees in more recent years than logger years of past, there's really no problem.

    Yes, every sapling planted in an urban garden by hippies makes up for the acres of rainforest that were obliterated at the same time. God bless hippies and their Fern Gully nature powers.

  20. Re:C'mon on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 2

    Better to go out in a blaze of glory with slightly more advanced technology than we would have had at that point if we'd paced ourselves to survive in the long term, right?

  21. Re:Leaked opt-in form on UK Considering Automatic Web Filtering For Adult Content · · Score: 1

    Actually now that I think of it, scat is illegal in the UK too (I remember the stupid reason for outlawing it - a serial killer was into it).

  22. Level up! on Exxon CEO: Warming Happening, But Fears Overblown · · Score: 1

    He's just reached the next step on the Climate Denial ladder:

    1. There is no warming
    2. There is warming, but it's not man-made
    3. There is warming and it's man-made, but it's not bad
    4. There is warming, it's man-made and it's bad, but we can adapt
    5. There is warming, it's man-made, it's bad, we can't really adapt, but I don't care and/or refuse to act.

    Some denialists have already moved onto step 5.

  23. Re:Breathless summary by the clueless on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 1

    I looked up OBE on Wikipedia and cannot find the part that shows it to be a cartoonish liberal brainwashing tool straight out of Glenn Beck's fevered nightmares. Show me some evidence, or I will consider your entire post to be the rantings of a madman as it rests entirely on this assertion.

  24. Douchebag Sun on Stellar Blast Boils Away Some of a Planet's Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    Planet: "Man I'm hot."

    Sun: "Aww sorry. Would you like me to cool you down?"

    Planet: "Yes, please!"

    Sun: *faaaaart*

    Planet: "GAH no you asshole!"

    Sun: "Hahahahaha dweeb!"

  25. Re:Mobile phones, not mobile in general on The Long Death of Fat Clients · · Score: 1

    You don't really buy those arguments about screen size do you? The push towards native apps has little to do with usability, web apps are easy to reformat for smaller screens...follow the money.
