  1. Coincidence on Who Needs a Satellite Dish When You Have a Wok? · · Score: 1

    I tried using a wok for a satellite dish before, but the only channel I could get was the Food Network. Seriously, pirating satellite TV is bad, m'kay.

  2. Re:My gift to the fine people of Boston on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 1

    I like it, though I have to say I prefer my girlfriend's quote more:

    Nice pic. I first tried an ASCII art version, but /. doesn't allow it. Damn you /. and your lameness filter!

  3. My gift to the fine people of Boston on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 3, Funny

    I know you can't see this, but I'm doing this harder than I've ever done it before.

  4. Re:hottest name? on Did Producer Timbaland Steal From the Demoscene? · · Score: 2, Funny

    timbaland? who the hell is that?
    Just a guy who got tired of making shoes and became a music producer.
  5. Preaching to the choir on Going Pink For October · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly confident that everyone is aware of breast cancer. We certainly get it thrust in our faces enough. They're basically saying that people in general, and women in particular, are essentially stupid and ignorant and have to be reminded all the time of things they need to take care of like regular breast exams. If this is indeed an issue, they should look at the real reasons why people aren't getting regular breast exams (costs, lack of insurance, etc.) instead of just blindly assuming that people are stupid.

  6. Am I the only one? on Ark Linux Review, A Distro with an Identity Crisis · · Score: 1

    I read this as Arkansas Linux and expected the screenshots to be on loose leaf paper and drawn in crayon?

  7. There's only one way to settle this... on CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA · · Score: 2, Funny

    CAGE MATCH!!!

    Whatcha gonna do, brother?

  8. Re:Mac nerds? on Nerds Switching from Apple to Ubuntu? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I don't know what it is about the less common operating systems, but they seem to attract the asses. (Free/Open/DietBSD etc. seem to be immune to this, not sure why.)
    Nobody wants to talk about *BSD, there's nothing wrong with it. 8)
  9. Tags != Comments on Xbox 360 Wins Through 2009? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Tags are for finding related articles, not for your personal opinion. That's what the comments and your journal are for. If that's not enough, make your own website.

  10. Re:X.509 is better on PGP & GPG · · Score: 1

    See previous comment

  11. Re:S/MIME on PGP & GPG · · Score: 1

    Here's an example of how S/MIME certificates can be easily spoofed, and how both Outlook and Apple's Mail.app happily accepts them as valid. Want more trustworthy certs? Expect to pay out the nose.

  12. Re:Protect Yourself At All Times on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone really think that Microsoft would resist taking advantage of an open source Intel-based kernel if it could help them solve the mountain of problems under which Windows is buried?
    FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD ... Microsoft can do that now, and some would say they already have *cough*TCP/IP*cough*.
  13. answer on Eric Schmidt on Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The difference is that with the US government at least *somebody* is making a buck off of it. The Chinese government just does this shit for fun.

  14. Re:Their right but on SanDisk Baits Apple And Woos Rockbox · · Score: 1

    Only their line of Digital Audio Players work with Mac OS 9 or X, and their largest capacity model has only 1G. That only holds about 240 MP3 songs. Their whole Sansa line requires XP and WMP 10, and they have larger capacities.

  15. Re:trademarking "404" on Pirates, Web 2.0, and Hundred Dollar Laptop · · Score: 1

    Apparently, Roland has been using 404 in their product names. Go get 'em, spunky!

  16. Two words on The Time Has Come to Ditch Email? · · Score: 1

    Plain text. There's really nothing in Rich Text or HTML emails that cannot be communicated in plain text. Documents currently being attached to emails can be sent via web services or through online file-sharing sites now popping up.

    Take away attachments, bye bye viruses. Take away Rich Text and HTML, bye bye more viruses and most phishing schemes.

    It will not get rid of spam, unfortunately. People not responding to it will.

  17. Re:Sun has no obligation... on The Curious Incident of Sun in the Night-Time · · Score: 2, Informative

    So what freedom of mine is Sun denying?
    These
  18. Re:Honestly... on The Curious Incident of Sun in the Night-Time · · Score: 1

    The Community is too dense to grasp that Java source code has been available for years, no matter how many times it's explained to them
    Not really. It may have been available, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can do anything with it. You can't modify it. You can't fix bugs in it. You can't compile it. You can't use anything from it in your own code. So what good is it. It's like someone giving you an ice cream cone and telling you that you can't eat it. Better to get a copy of the Java Language Spec and/or VM Spec and make a clean implementation than to waste your time with Sun's source.
  19. This is exactly why on Kevin Carmony Responds to Criticism · · Score: 1
    1. I don't believe in God.
    2. I don't use Linux.
    Religion and Linux zealots have one thing in common. Both believe "You're either with us or against us." If it has to be like that, then I'm against you both. Having R all TFAs, it all reads like a big dick size contest. Pitiful.
  20. Can you imagine on Software Lets Programmers Code Hands-free · · Score: 0, Troll

    What kind of code would come out if the developer was stoned? Never mind, we already have Windows.

  21. Re:No? on Are National ID Cards a Good Idea? · · Score: 1
    Governments are great until people get into power who begin to create lists of who are good and who are bad.

    Yeah, like that Santa Claus guy, I don't trust him.

  22. Re:Schneier is wrong on Are National ID Cards a Good Idea? · · Score: 1
    The purpose of national ID cards is so that you can identify yourself reliably to other people if the transaction requires it.

    Where does the reliability come from without a database to back it up? What's to keep someone from getting a card with my name and making transactions against it?

  23. Beta has no meaning anymore on Boot Camp Flaw Leaves Some Users Fuming · · Score: 1

    The term Beta has been so overused with different software projects that it's effectively lost all its original meaning. How long did that Google Beta go on while people used it? How long was Mozilla at less than 1.0 while everybody and their family pet evangelized it over IE?

    Nowadays, Beta is only used to indemnify software authors from responsibility in case something goes wrong. However, isn't that what the blurb that includes "NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED" is for?

    So why use it?

  24. Customers don't care on Increased Bandwidth Irrelevant? · · Score: 1

    This'll be about as effective as Apple's Megahertz Don't Matter campaign a couple of years ago. Consumers will see Comcast's 6 vs. AT&T's 1.5, do the math and, rightly or wrongly, conclude that Comcast is faster. It's all marketing, folks.

  25. Thank God for RSS, huh? on Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal · · Score: 1

    A bit early for April Fools, don'tcha think, Taco-chan? Anime will fuck your head up like that, ya know?
