  5. Re:Where does it stop? on Supreme Court to Hear FCC Indecency Case · · Score: 1

    Except that these days, saying, "fuck" doesn't imply anything whatsoever about the speakers emotions. "Fuck" is just a gratuitous bad word now, said for no reason other than to say it, for the most part.

    Moral of the story: If you're afraid of driving, don't!

  10. DON'T READ SLASHDOT! on Industry Group Sponsors College Course To Create Fake Blog · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I've found it to be a cheap knockoff masquerading as something useful to wile away my valuable time.

    DON'T CLICK ON THAT LINK!

    It might be a phishing scam!

  12. Re:Eh? Maybe it's just me. on Higher-Resolution YouTube Videos Currently In Testing · · Score: 1

    I admit it, I couldn't really tell the difference.
    They both looked pretty good to me, unlike most of the videos that are all artifacty.

    Ah yes, thank you. Much better defined difference.

    > Why must people be so greedy that they have to use every
    > unethical and immoral tactic there is to sustain their greedy growth?

    Ah, that's easy.
    Because their shareholders want their 401K's to be worth as much as possible by the time they retire.

    Greed is the sole point of being in business (um.., usually).

    Doh!

    Maybe he meant:

    I couldn't see any difference in quality between the regular version and the "fmt=6" version of the skating dog.

    Isn't the purpose of "shared folders" to allow access to the host file system from the VM?

  19. Re:RTF on Taliban Demands Downtime on Afghanistan Cellphone Networks · · Score: 1

    Kind of sad, isn't it, that the United States Military Forces have to depend on Afghani cell phone service for tactical communications.

    Or is that just what the Taliban thinks?

    But that's what we Americans want on our TVs. Who the hell cares about real news?
    Except for the pretentious among us, who watch the "news" on PBS and such.

  21. Re:Outstanding on Radio Telescopes on Moon to Study Cosmic Dark Ages · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    My guess is it'll be owned by whoever occupies it, which will be fine until the environmentalist fringe starts complaining about how the Moon is being trashed by humans...

  22. Some law against cyber-harrasment be of merit, but on Politicians and the Cyber-Bully Pulpit · · Score: 1

    ...is it the place of the Federal Government to regulate here?

    Should this not be the jurisdiction of each State?
    I know that the Feds regulate against harassment in the workplace, but are there other examples of federal law concerning harassment in general? What makes "cyber" harassment special?

    I'm not saying cyber-bullying should be allowed. But I am questioning whether it's within the federal government's jurisdiction.

  23. Re:Legislating against bullying is ridulous on Politicians and the Cyber-Bully Pulpit · · Score: 1

    Insightful, my ass.
    It's a complete non-sequiter.

    We hold people responsible for what they do (yes, even when done in response to someone else's actions) all the time.
