  1. Re:If I were in charge of the networks on George Carlin Dead of Heart Failure · · Score: 1

    Kudos to you, my fellow language nazi!

    The one that really grates me is when the newscasters pronounce "negotiations" as if it were spelled, "negociations."

  2. News for Fuckin' Nerds. on George Carlin Dead of Heart Failure · · Score: 1

    Shit that fuckin' matters.

  3. Re:Against the Principles of Democracy on Blogger Launches 'Google Bomb' At McCain · · Score: 1

    >> the tenants of democracy that ...
    > Yes. And one of the tenants of manipulating democracy ...
    > Which brings me to a bigger issue, that knowledge is always tainted ...

    Apparently the knowledge of correct word usage has been tainted in this string of posts.
     

  4. Re:Nice old photo there, but .. on Return of the '70s Microsoft Weirdos · · Score: 1

    Lower left corner.

    It says, "... for open science."

    Here's the actual Fasted Computer in the World.

  8. What is the real truth here? on Man Fired When Laptop Malware Downloaded Porn · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It just seems immensly more likely that he got infected by malware from surfing porn sites, than getting infected by porn from having malware.

  9. Re:Wrong. on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 1

    And just like how the "Hamster Dance" is the same song as "Whistle Stop" (from Disney's animated version of Robin Hood).

  10. Re:Correlation != Causation on Road Rage Linked To Automobile Bumper Stickers · · Score: 2, Funny

    I dunno about that, but I do know that nearly 100% of hardened drug-crazed criminals started out by drinking milk at a young age.

  11. Re:Other people's stickers? on Road Rage Linked To Automobile Bumper Stickers · · Score: 1

    Yep. More often than not, it seems it's the tolerant, freedom loving liberal activists that vandalize and destroy other people's property.

  12. Re:Don't Spam on How To Convince My Boss Not To Spam? · · Score: 1

    > ... this may be a mute point.
                        ^^^^
    You'll have to use hand signals, then.
  13. Re:html-only email on User Not Found, Email Drops Silently · · Score: 1

    > ... business usage of email has diverged very far from the original ideals.

    You're right. These days the standard "business" method of emailing is to write the note in Microsoft Word, then attach the .doc (and now .docx) file to the email.

  17. Re:What's worse? on Line Forms At Apple's Always-Open Manhattan Cube · · Score: 1

    No way!

    Where's the "film-at-eleven" tag?

  20. Re:Nontransferable Licenses in question on Federal Court Says First-Sale Doctrine Covers Software, Too · · Score: 1

    I didn't read the court's opinion (why should I? This is Slashdot!) so I could be wrong, but I would think that the implication of this, is that the court found that there was no license to begin with.

  21. Re:Unauthorized signal reception on Shopping Centers Track Customers Via Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 1

    Yes, at at least here in the USA there is the Electronic Communucations Privacy Act of 1986 which makes you a felon of you tune your old 82-channel TV set just so...
