  1. Cracking WinRAR is lame on Asus Ships Cracking Software On Recovery DVD · · Score: 3, Informative

    WinRAR is free to use, last time I checked it only asked you to buy it through a brief, unintrusive nag window. Cracking it is really damn lame.

  2. Re:!common sense yet on Bill To Add Accountability To Border Laptop Search · · Score: 1

    People are happy that there has arisen the mere possibility that they might be fucked a little bit softer. There's something quite saddening about that.

  3. Re:So-called "educational" games. on Study Finds Video Games Are Not Bad for Kids · · Score: 1

    Let me recant a story.

    I assume you meant 'recall' or 'recount' there, as to recant something is to retract or otherwise disavow it.

  4. Re:political interests?! on Study Finds Video Games Are Not Bad for Kids · · Score: 1

    Oh, no. It's just that they frequently fail to materialise in the first place.

  5. Marketroid naming on Cognitive Radios Could Increase Wireless Spectrum · · Score: 1

    Makes me poonwee.

  6. Re:And how will you power it build your own nuclea on Intel Unveils 6-Core Xeon 7400 · · Score: 1

    It's a bit troublesome to build a whole nuclear powerplant just to have it piffle out 350 watts. The bragging rights would be unbeatable though.

  7. Re:Base 2 on Intel Unveils 6-Core Xeon 7400 · · Score: 1

    Faring pretty well my arse. I still don't have a worthwhile upgrade to my X2 6000 and it's almost two years old. Right now all the AMD CPUs available are downgrades or trade-offs. I want an upgrade. Even the priciest, most powerful Phenom they have to offer is slower than the X2 6000 in every application except ones which fully utilise three or more cores. (almost none)

  8. Re:Truth rate this post on Berners-Lee Wants Truth Ratings For Websites · · Score: 1

    No. Since there's no subject to evaluate for truth, the statement is meaningless. The trick is that it has no truth value, any more than a person is 'true' or 'false'. The question is loaded. :)

  9. Re:Sounds like a chapter out of Slashdot... on Google's Floating Datahaven · · Score: 1

    Oops. :(

  10. Re:please stop with the inane star wars jokes on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    Or worse, Unicron. :(

  11. Re:Probably. on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1

    Being a rock doesn't preclude it from being interesting or exceptional. I'm quite curious even assuming it is 'just' a rock.

  12. Re:DRM + High Cost = Piracy on Spore DRM Protest Makes EA Ease Red Alert 3 Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Doom 3 wasn't all roses. When I bought it, it wouldn't run because I had a virtual disc tool installed. I had to crack it to play. Same shit for Far Cry. Nowadays I don't even bother trying to run the game without the crack.

  13. Re:It is new, certainly on Berners-Lee Launches New W3 Foundation · · Score: 1

    I would suggest that this is a more general problem rather than anything specific to the web

    Humanity bug #1: Idiocy has a majority market share.

  14. Re:"One Web that is free and open" on Berners-Lee Launches New W3 Foundation · · Score: 1

    Mono-- D'oh!

  15. Re:Sounds like a chapter out of Slashdot... on Google's Floating Datahaven · · Score: 1

    I probably shouldn't tell you this, but... You have to recode the latex Linux kernel in Brainfuck. You'll then be sent an invitation to the real Slashdot.

  16. Re:HR Violation on 3M Launches First Pocket Projector · · Score: 1

    Wow, it's the brightest one I've ever seen!

  17. I am here to help! on Microsoft Says IE8 Phoning Home Is "Pretty Innocuous" · · Score: 1

    There are two features already present that help alleviate that situation.

    First of all, there are the key combinations that automatically fill in the protocol name and TLD (check the help file).

    Second of all, THE BACKSPACE KEY YOU GREAT CLEFT. Come on!

  18. Re:Time for some absolutism. on Microsoft Says IE8 Phoning Home Is "Pretty Innocuous" · · Score: 1

    People need to stop hiding behind the even worse failings of others

    A form of stupidity common enough to warrant its own name.

  19. Re:Single apple ipod touch bug slashdot worthy? on Users Report Faulty WPA In 2nd-Gen IPod Touch · · Score: 1

    They're called 'koans'. That one is an ice-cream koan. :p

  20. Re:Wait a minute on YouTube Bans Terrorist Training Videos · · Score: 1

    'Religion' and 'bullshit' are quite far from being mutually exclusive.

  21. Re:Counter productive.... on YouTube Bans Terrorist Training Videos · · Score: 1

    That was absolutely hilarious. I got hot chocolate all over my keyboard, you bastard!

  22. Guru meditation on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's cool, but do they meditate?

  23. Re:Bare Metal on Sun Bare Metal Hypervisors Now GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    Off-topic? Bah. I just wanted to know what it means to say "Bare metal hypervisor," you insensitive clods.

  24. Re:Brilliant! Re:Missed a trick on Et Tu, Mozilla? Firefox 3 To Get Privacy Mode · · Score: 1

    That's pretty hilarious. Seriously though - it depends on what you're using it for (there's home privacy versus tracking privacy), so it could be a good optional feature.

  25. Bare Metal on Sun Bare Metal Hypervisors Now GPLv3 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sounds like a porn magazine for the robot-inclined.



    ...Do want.
