  1. You didn't fool me on Why Do All Movie Tickets Cost the Same? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is Slashdot, the only acceptable price for a movie is 0 because it doesn't cost anything to copy it.

  2. Re:Ups and Downs on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 0

    Just a quick note: Node.js now takes advantage of multiple cores with the Cluster API.

  3. Re:Pragmatism can be dangerous on Are Engineers Natural Libertarians Or Technocrats? · · Score: 0

    Nothing get shit done like pointless semantic arguments, am I right?

  4. Re:Gasp! Obama... Wr... Wrong?? on Why Richard Stallman Was Right All Along · · Score: 0

    Admit it, you learned how to debate from daytime television.

  5. Ahhh we still need codewords on Windows Phone Homebrew Hits a Snag · · Score: 0

    "Homebrew" is by far my favorite codeword in all of nerddom. A close second is "evil."

  6. Re:Marketing drone in TFA sez: on Google Testing Completely Revamped Look · · Score: 1

    I agree. Who do these people think they are, trying new things and working to progress the state of the art? Don't they know that people want things to stay the same way forever?

    I'm only going to continue to use their excellent, free services grudgingly, because it's not exactly what I want it to be, and that's evil.

    Can we start spelling it G$$gle yet?

  7. Re:why o why on Google Testing Completely Revamped Look · · Score: 0

    The illogic of that practice has led to the first time in my life that I learned of a person's usage pattern and thought "that's objectively stupid."

    And this is after once spending six days tracking down a bug that it turned out was caused by a man who capitalizes with caps lock instead of shift.

  8. Re:Captain Obvious strikes again.... on The 'Cable Guy' Now a Network Specialist · · Score: 0

    Screw their employees? 50+ grand median for plugging a few things in and clicking a few buttons on an electronic form is getting screwed?

  9. Re:Bullshit on Edison Would Have Loved New Light Bulb Law, Says His Great-Grandson · · Score: 1

    It's important that people like you are there to keep those who don't know the right way to think in line.

    Without our nannies, where would we be?

  10. Re:Not quite on Before the iPhone, Apple's Stunning Phone From 1983 · · Score: 0

    I really don't care about your moral interpretations of the motivations of people. I was merely making the point that things change over time.

  11. Re:Not quite on Before the iPhone, Apple's Stunning Phone From 1983 · · Score: 1

    And Bill Gates' original goal was to sell BASIC for microcomputers. The point being.. so?

  12. Re:They are not the same thing. on Open Source Increasingly Replaced By Open APIs · · Score: 0

    They aren't a step back, unless you start from the premise that you deserve to benefit from everyone's work even though you've made no contributions.

    This being Slashdot, I'm sure you start from that premise.

  13. Re:Yea, well... on Imgur.com: Why We Dumped GoDaddy · · Score: 0

    Yeah but just off the top of my head, "No Daddy" is like 20 times better. You'll never win the battle of hearts and mind with clunky slogans.

  14. Re:As usual, summary incorrect... on TSA Got Everything It Wanted For Christmas · · Score: 0

    I didn't blame anyone, and the fact that you read this as blame is fairly indicative of your cognitive skills.

    I merely pointed out that a jobs program that gives 58,000 people gainful (if purposeless) employment on the public dime is a socialist program, and this sort of thing aligns with what I understand to be Democrat priorities.

    It's not my fault that my sense of irony conflicts with your opinions.

  15. Re:As usual, summary incorrect... on TSA Got Everything It Wanted For Christmas · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    TSA is a socialist jobs program. People with little or no skill get good pay and benefits on the gov't teat. Any good Democrat should be supporting this.

  16. Re:Well, on TSA Got Everything It Wanted For Christmas · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not likely to work. The culture of fear has taken hold. People want the comfort of being taken care of.

  17. Re:Regenerate? on How Doctors Die · · Score: 1

    It depends - did you come to with or without pants?

  18. I would go cheap on Ask Slashdot: Best Android Tablet For Travel? · · Score: 1

    I would go for something older & cheaper with the notion that it will be quickly replaced, because the technology is currently on one of those cusps where things are going to change for the massively better quickly.

    The Prime is a good looking tablet, but it seems like the competition in this space is going to ramp up like crazy over the next year and there will be some really decent hardware to be had in the 500 dollar range.

    Of course, if you're willing to dump 500 a year into these things, by all means, lean as far forward as you can.

    To address your specific needs - I don't think you'll have a problem doing what you want with any particular Android tablet available.

  19. Re:What about non-Android tablets? on Ask Slashdot: Best Android Tablet For Travel? · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's like asking what brand of hammer is best for hitting yourself in the nuts.

  20. Re:looks like waste of lithium on Russia Building World's Largest Li-Ion Battery Plant · · Score: 1

    Lithium is extremely common, being element #3 and all.

  21. Re:And I'm doing dimensional analysis on Intel Ships New Atom Processors To PC Makers · · Score: 2

    ARM started from the bottom and is struggling to match Intel for performance. Intel started from the top and is struggling to match ARM for efficiency.

    This battle is far from over, and I'm putting my money on Intel because in the end, they have manufacturing prowess no one can equal.

  22. Re:Yea, well... on Imgur.com: Why We Dumped GoDaddy · · Score: 0

    Is "Go Daddy Backstaber" really the best you could come up with?

  23. Re:The scary thing is on Apocalypse Tourism: Where To Celebrate Doomsday? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how "this group of people agreed on a set of made-up rules based on their interpretation of a 2000+ year old fairy tale" can actually be argued. There's not a basis in the world for any opinion on any of it. It's just masturbation, so why do your rules about who gets to cum matter?

  24. Re:1023? Not 1024? Cheapskates ... on HP TouchPad Go: $99? · · Score: 5, Funny

    They had to cut something to get it down to a hundred bucks.

  25. Re:Started out as a search company? on Did Microsoft Make Google Pay Triple Rate To Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    What Google does is run the largest advertising company on the Internet. You not liking that reality has no bearing on its existence.
