  1. Re:Pull the plug... on Filter Vendor Agrees Aussie Censorship Can't Work As Promised · · Score: 1

    "Australia’s crackpot left has once again thrown its lot in with eco-terrorist group Sea Shepherd, demanding Japan release operative Peter Bethune, arrested for illegally boarding a whaling vessel on the high seas, supposedly in an effort to capture it." Totally unbiased website on a website run by Japanophiles :)

    Vote for the Greens. They're far from insane. They're probably the most reasonable of the lot. But even then, it's good to toss some votes to the Sex Party and (if they're officially registered by the election) the Pirate Party. The latter two will never get into power, but can function as pressure groups.

  3. Re:Dear Ubuntu on Ubuntu Gets a New Visual Identity · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Uh, mods? This isn't insightful. This is plain rude. I don't care about fancy graphics on my desktop, but it doesn't make people drooling idiots if they do.

  4. Re:Seriously flawed logic on Use Open Source? Then You're a Pirate! · · Score: 1

    What if the brain damage is from too much beer?

  5. Re:Google on Android and the Linux Kernel Community · · Score: 1

    In my defense, this is Slashdot.

    Anti-Apple != pro-Microsoft

  7. Re:Microsoft getting free ride on Using Windows 7 RC? Pay Up Or Auto Shutdown Warned · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what a release candidate normally is?

  8. Re:Communism! on India Objects To Google Book Settlement · · Score: 2, Funny

    The pain would be pulpable, even.

  9. Re:Meanwhile, back in the U.S. of A..... on China Slams Clinton's Call For Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. I've got a tube of it next to my bed. Sometimes people ask me why I've got toothpaste on my table. Don't ask me what I use it for.

  10. Re:Bias Posting on Why Firefox's Future Lies In Google's Hands · · Score: 1

    More importantly, a lot of features in Opera are in Firefox optionally via extensions. I can have or not have gestures, for example.

  11. Re:Slave to the server on Here We Go Again — Video Standards War 2010 · · Score: 1

    It wasn't optional when I bought a boxed copy of Empire: Total War.

    Sure. Unfortunately I have no choice but to accept the ToS if I want to play Fable 2 as last I heard there was no PC version in the works :(

  16. Re:Excuse my ignorance on DS Flash Carts Deemed Legal By French Court · · Score: 1

    Indeed you can (at least with my CycloDS). Seems fairly bug-free too.

    Bingo! inb4whoosh

  18. Re:The way I see it on Apple Asks Judge To Shutter Psystar's Clone Unit · · Score: 1

    That worked -for- us here with Toyota Lancers. Hoons loved them and the price dropped because of all the crashes and whatnot. Very good car, which became a lot cheaper.

  19. Re:K does not stand for Kool on KDE Rebrands, Introduces KDE Plasma Desktop · · Score: 1

    It used to :( Kind of like how the A in aMSN used to stand for Alvaro \o/

  20. Re:Capital Punishment on Brain Scans Used In Murder Sentencing · · Score: 1

    Kinda like getting five wanted stars in GTA and not caring about blowing everything up afterward.
