  1. Re:Propaganda on Legislators Call On Twitter To Ban Hamas · · Score: 1

    Israel isn't stupid to use nukes in any major conflict in their immediate neighbourhood. That would be MAD.

  2. Re:What did Anonymous do about Hamas rocket attack on Anonymous Attacks Israeli Websites In Response To IDF Operation In Gaza · · Score: 1

    Hamas can very well be fascists, but can they be labeled anti-Semites? Aren't the Arabs themselves grouped as Semitic people? So as I see it, aren't Arabs and the Jews much closer ethnically than the Europeanised(?) Jewish settlers there?

  3. Re:Why mention Schoenberg? on Why Dissonant Music Sounds 'Wrong' · · Score: 1

    You should then try listening to some good Technical Death Metal, Avant-Jazz, Math metal or Drone/Doom bands. Even Deathspell Omega's "Veritas Diaboli" is a good example.

  4. Re:News! people don't like music they don't like.. on Why Dissonant Music Sounds 'Wrong' · · Score: 1

    Is his music similar to drone bands like Sunn O))), Earth or Boris?

  5. Re:Hamill? on Little Miss Sunshine Screenwriter Gets Nod For Star Wars: Episode VII · · Score: 1

    The only good thing in Episodes I - III was the score by John Williams. The absolutely rousing and foreboding atmosphere of "The Duel of the Fates" is a grand experience.

  6. Re:So it's a Sci-Fi? on Physicist Explains Cthulhu's "Non-Euclidean Geometry" · · Score: 1

    It is ironic that the leading figure in Lovecraftian mythos and literature is S.T. Joshi.

  7. Shit! on EXT4 Data Corruption Bug Hits Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    I have many thumb drives formatted in ext4. I guess it will not be good idea to use it on my 3.5 kernel based distro, then?

  8. Re:Good for NOC on Captive Beluga Was Able To Mimic Speech · · Score: 1

    Well, it can't bloody learn anymore. It died, in 2007.

  9. Re:Developers love USDP on Windows 8: Do I Really Need a Single OS? · · Score: 1

    Haha, noob. Emacs isn't an IDE, it's a universe simulator.

  10. Re:What happened to freedom of speech on Google Blocks 'Innocence of Muslim' Video In Indonesia and India · · Score: 1

    Google has probably blocked the original trailer here in India, but many re-ups of it exist, and I'm watching one right now. I knew the government would do something like this as a pre-emptive measure, but other than in the restive Kashmir state, there hasn't been any noticeable protest whatsoever in the rest of the country. People are killing each other over this in neighbouring Pakistan, so that has probably influenced the Kashmiri muslims, but the rest of the country's muslim populace have not really come out and voiced anger or resorted to violence over this.

  11. Congratulations NASA! on MSL Landing Timeline: What To Expect Tonight · · Score: 1

    The Curiosity Rover has successfuly landed. Great job people!

  12. I just got up from sleep on Russian Wikipedia Shutters In Protest of Internet Blacklist Plans · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...and all I saw: "If you visit Russian Wikipedia today you will be forgiven for thinking". May I be blessed.

  13. Re:Simple Answer: on Despite Drop In Piracy, French Music Industry Still In Decline · · Score: 0

    Well, it's apparent you don't follow the extreme metal scene, hence are unaware of some excellent bands like Deathspell Omega, Blut aus Nord, Benighted et.al.

  14. First post on Humans Are Nicer Than We Think · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Be nice, dude.

  15. Linux lessons on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Distro For Linux Lessons? · · Score: 1

    Windows ME

  16. "Al-Fa-Ques" on Spanish Company Tests 'Right To Be Forgotten' Against Google · · Score: 1

    Well, I sure won't.

  17. Re:Name revealed on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1

    I used to think an ascii wang was an elongated smiling baboon face. It confused me no end why would people want to depict something like that.

  18. Re:Clang/LLVM in FreeBSD on FreeBSD 9.0 Released · · Score: 1

    W(ho)TF opened the door to these Linux/OSX/Microsoft lackeys?!!?! This is OUR thread, for God's sake!!! We decide the bloody agenda!!

  19. Re:Free speech! on German Hackers Propose Uncensorable Global Grid — With Satellites · · Score: 1

    Uhm, the longest shadows are cast when the sun is either rising or westering. At mid-day, at the equator you'd, really, hardly cast a shadow.

  20. Re:All I can think of is the joke... on South Korean Scientists Create Glowing Dog · · Score: 1

    Man, I came just came here to see any "Koreans eat dogs in the dark" comments.

    Subject: bristly beards

    Date: Wed, 7-Sep-83 16:20:46 EDT

    Newsgroups: net.singles

    Organization: John Fluke Mfg. Co., Everett, Wash

    I've been told that my beard can be bristly and irritating. I really

    can't grow it any longer without it looking shaggy. I don't want to cut

    it off, because I've been told that I look better with it. (Plus its so

    nice not to have to scrape the face every morning.)

    Has anyone else had this problem, and what did you do about it?

  22. Re:A Fundamental Problem with This Suggestion! on Does Microsoft Need Bug Bounties? · · Score: 1

    I have a deep suspicion this article ws posted to give a boost to the +4 Funny market.

  23. Re:Use a real alarm clock on iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone need to "wake up?" I just contracted fatal familial insomnia and won't go to sleep for several months until I die.

    Did it help?

  24. Re:Use a real alarm clock on iPhone Alarms Hit By New Year's Bug · · Score: 1

    Why do you even need an alarm clock to wake up? Your body's own clock works pretty well. Whenever I have to get up at a predetermined time, I just repeat loudly " Wake up at $time", before going off to sleep, and I have consistently had positive results, waking up anywhere from 15 - 30 mins before the desired time.

  25. Slashdotted Fry? on Stephen Fry and DVD Jon Back USB Sniffer Project · · Score: 1

    Looks like Stephen's Twitter page is down.
