  1. Re:how about a new name? on Gimp 2.8 Finally Released · · Score: 1

    [..] I'm afraid he'll get the wrong impression.

    Your sig seems to contradict that..

  2. Re:Excellent! on Oldest Intact Red Blood Cells Found on Iceman · · Score: 1

    They already did that, I do believe he was POTUS for 2 terms and started wars in Iraq & Afghanistan..

  3. The land of the free and the home of the brave on Pakistani Court Rules On Internet Censorship: Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
    A home and a country, should leave us no more?
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:

    Pakistan? :\

  4. Re:Buffer overflow on C/C++ Back On Top of the Programming Heap? · · Score: 1

    compliers represent the result of the best and brightest and trial and error for optimizing code structures

    Clearly you haven't used the Intel C++ compiler..

  5. I guess.. on RIP, Electric Amplifier Inventor Jim Marshall, 'Father of Loud' · · Score: 1

    He finally went up to 11..

  6. Please! on US Government: There's Child Porn On the Megaupload Servers Judge! · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why won't someone think of the children!?

  7. Re:Wet T-shirt effect on Google Cools Data Center With Bathroom Water · · Score: 1

    It has a chilling effect on the nation's moral fibre.

  8. Re:Doesn't work on Campaign Urges People To Send MPAA and RIAA Copied Currency · · Score: 2

    Actually, on British Pound notes, it specifically states: "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of x". Therefore, a digital copy should have exactly the same value. It's a promise of some money.

  9. Re:Worst article summary ever on Huge Triangle-shaped Spot Over the Sun · · Score: 1

    In fact, forget the slashdot!

  10. There we go.. on Righthaven Ordered To Forfeit Its Intellectual Property · · Score: 5, Informative

    And nothing of value was lost..

  11. Re:The West can fight this very, very easily... on Astroturfing For Speed Cameras · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You'd think this, but over in Europe, there's a few countries (at least the UK) that use the cash generated from speed and red light cameras that goes straight into the Treasury's coffers and used to try and plug any deficits to little avail. The knock on effect from this is that the police need to catch at least the same number of people or more to commit a traffic violation in order to keep the country's finances in check. This of course means quotas.

    The end result? Government mandated highway robbery.

  12. Re:Reportage on Fukushima on Japan's Nuclear Energy Industry Nears Shutdown · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Actually, I'd happily buy a house that like at a steep discount.

  13. Endoscopy.. on Amateur Rocketeer Derek Deville's Qu8k Rocket Flies to 120,000+ Feet (Video) · · Score: 5, Funny

    He works for a company making flexible endoscopy devices. Yet he's building a rocket. Should we be worried?

  14. Strange.. on EFF Wins Protection For Time Zone Database · · Score: 4, Funny

    that they didn't read this in their horoscope..

  15. Re:MAFIAA wants both on Google Asks Court Not To Enjoin ReDigi · · Score: 1

  16. Re:if only aliens were among us... on UK ISP Disconnecting Filesharers · · Score: 1

    I'm sure if you explained it to the Ferengi, they'd want a piece of that pie.

  17. Happily on Aussie Bank Wants To Trade Social Network Data For Better Deals · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Considering my facebook account is empty - and purposefully so - yes, I would happily share additional lack of information for a better deal.

  18. Re:On /. by the end of the day on After Firing CEO, Yahoo Puts Itself Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    Given /.'s record, that means it would've had to have been announced about 2 weeks to a month ago..

  19. Re:This is what space exploration should look like on MESSENGER Enters Orbit Around Mercury · · Score: 1

    I think we should send more people to space. Suits optional.

  20. Re:It's simple on Sony's War On Makers, Hackers, and Innovators · · Score: 1

    I don't think hackers are puppy killers but I still own PlayStation stuff. I only want my PS2 and PS3 to play certain games and don't use them for anything else (Gran Turismo).

    As long as those games will come out exclusively on a PS, I'll own one. But of course I won't buy any other games and ultimately cost Sony money.

  21. Re:They are likely grateful... on Single Software Licence Shared 774,651 Times · · Score: 1

    Two words: Windows XP.

  22. Re:Fastest Train and Computer are in China on China Makes World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Well, the do need a fast computer to do all that filtering for dissidents.

  23. Re:Usable by humans on The World's Smallest Full HD Display · · Score: 3, Funny

    Of course you can tell the difference, as long as you wear special glasses with solid gold lenses as these conduct the photons better.

  24. Re:Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades on Marvell Launches First Triple-Core Hybrid ARM Chip · · Score: 2, Interesting
  25. Re:Thinking out of the box on Look-Alike Tubes Lead To Hospital Deaths · · Score: 0
