  1. Re:Uh oh! on FBI To Use Ad Banners to Find Criminals · · Score: 2

    You're not running AdSubtract, Webwasher, Proximitron, Junk Buster, etc. w/ out Federal Approval, are you? Because only thieves surf the web w/out downloading the advertisements used to fund web sites. And there can be no doubt that these thieves use their ill gotten gain to fund terrorism.

  2. zerg on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We play to escape reality, not be held back by it.

  3. zerg on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 2

    Pre-emptive strike against everyone complaining about how we shouldn't let the MPAA control our lives here.

  4. zerg on Updating Quickbooks Forces Online Membership? · · Score: 3, Funny
    I have no interest in letting Intuit know about my invoices and other financial information.
    Only a terrorist would not be willing to share their personal financial data with a good, honest, patriotic company like Intuit. You're not a terrorist... are you?
  5. Shocker! on Angry Spirited Away Fans Strike Back · · Score: 2

    Despicable Conduct From Disney!

  6. Re:I miss TIPS on Slashback: TIPS, FatWallet, MPlayer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Every night, good red-blooded Americans turn on their teevees and see their leaders telling them that they are free and they live in the best country in the world. As far as these people are concerned, their "hard-won" rights are still there!

    I concede all of your points but I said
    best
    so in your not so humble opinion, what do you propose as good military scifi?
  9. please on UK Team to Study Rainmaking Machines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Someone explain to me why every member of the British group wasn't round up and shot for gross negligence?

    Also, I read that in order to use laser guided bombs in Kosovo, they had to use cloud dispersing techniques that resulted in horrific hailstorms in other parts of the Balkans. Unfortunately I read this three years ago and can't find any references to it... anyone?

  10. easy on Actual Costs for the Space Station · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. Tell Congress to give us the money and stay the fuck away until it's time for us to ask for more money.
    2. Put two Soyuz capsules up there so two people can do science while another three do maintenance. A sixth person can be any random rich person paying oodles of cash for the opportunity to scrub toilets IN SPAAAAAAAACE.
    3. Let the Russians handle station operations. If that's disagreeable then hire as many Russians away from Russia as needed. They know how to handle space stations, we don't.

  11. Re:H.P. Lovecraft on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 2

    H.P. Lovecraft's legacy is that he was an amazing horror writer and that almost all American horror writers after him are cheap imitation. I don't think the Mythos counts as SciFi really, just visions of impending madness just barely beyond the visual range of most slashdot moderators.

  12. Re:Great SF, not great literature on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 2
    Alien (the sequels _DO NOT COUNT_)
    Except that Aliens is still the best military scifi to grace the silver screen?
  13. zerg on Linux Lands Big Bank Account · · Score: 3, Funny

    Anyone care to make a wager? Next issue of slashback, assuming the eds will swallow their pride to print it, will include a story about how the same bank is buying brand new Microsoft licenses at disgustingly discounted prices... "Leye nux" what now?

  14. quick question on How the West Wasn't Won · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For everyone so concerned about free access to space: Would you want Enron launching large things into orbit which might conceivably fall on someone's head? Would you want Microsoft?

    Yeah, the government's inefficient... why aren't you calling up your representative and telling him/her to repeal the regressive tax cuts and use the money for space exploration?

  15. My Life for Aiur on Top SciTech Gifts 2002 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't buy gifts for people, any idiot can wield a credit card. Instead, build something for someone. Use Legos, use paper (origami, cards, poetry), grab that game boy sowing machine and make clothes for someone if that's what you think they want, but don't just buy stuff. Make it meaningful, and stuff. Something that you put time and heart into will be appreciated much more than the stupid "duh, i bought you this because it was 15% off, here's the receipt if you don't like it" bullshit that capitalist pigs foist on us for their own pleasure. Or something.

    And while I'm being cantankerous, I have a grand idea: why don't we be thankful before we worry about Our (ok, maybe your, but I'm still a little confused here) Savior's birthday?

  16. wtf on Building Your Own Hobbit Hole · · Score: 2
    Sometimes people go too far in being a fan of a great movie or of a great book.
    Lies like this I simply will not tolerate.

    If you're into forum role-playing, feel free to drop by Battle Forum and maybe you too can wind up in the comic.

  19. zerg on Gillette Buys Half a Billion RFID Tags · · Score: 2

    I tend not to shave but my mom called me up and told me that I wouldn't be allowed in the house for Thanksgiving if I had hair on my face so I went out to get a razor. Where the shaving supplies were was a little card saying, "Mach 3 razors are available behind the counter." Which is funny because condoms and pornos are available at the front desk but the razors are behind the counter w/ the cigarettes and blunts? Wacky...

  20. Re:Hi on Animated Star Wars on Cartoon Network · · Score: 2
    You associate cartoons with childishness. Just because it's animated doesn't make it any less mature than your favourite live-action movie/TV series.
    While well written, your speech could have been shortened if you had just asked the original poster to sit down and watch an episode of Samurai Jack. Not just watch, but also listen; the music is amazing!
  21. Genndy Tartakovsky on Animated Star Wars on Cartoon Network · · Score: 2

    The force is strong w/ this one.

    If anyone can restore the balance, I hope it's him.

  22. Re: .NET on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 2

    huh? what're you

    OH! oops, for some reason I put .NET as the subject. My bad...

    You're right of course, I guess Visual Studio.NET has nothing to do w/ why I stay w/ Windows. I'm sure it works fine in WINE...

  23. .NET on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 2

    This is it! This is my one chance to vent about how much I hate Linux and why I love Microsoft! ...

    And I have writer's block. Irony, thy name is ...

    Damn I'm bad at this ^^;;

  24. thank you on W3C Policy To Favor Royalty-Free Patents Only · · Score: 2

    No matter how bad things get, every now and then someone comes out and shows a little integrity/backbone. The next time I get wasted, I will specifically toast the W3C.

  25. Re:Insane on HomeSec In the News · · Score: 2

    More than one disgruntled person alleges that Rumsfeld was in fact in Iran to prevent the release of hostages so that there wouldn't be any "October Surprise" to get Carter reelected.

    It makes more sense when you see pictures of Rumsfeld and Hussein shaking hands while he was delivering satelite photos for delivery of Iraq chemical weapons.

    Or not.
