  1. Re:Inquiring Minds Want To Know... on Windows Vista and XP Head To Head · · Score: 1

    He's not saying that at all. He's just saying that the author is a shitty writer so we shouldn't bother reading his tripe.

  2. Re:Hope he's smarter than his parents! on What's the Coolest Thing You've Ever Built? · · Score: 1

    and I have a feeling that you posted this because you're a 35 year old virgin who lives in his momma's basement.

  3. Re:Get her on Linux on Safe Computing For the Elderly? · · Score: 1

    Once you have done this, logout of your grandma

    It was going great until this line. I have to go wash my brain out with soap now.

  4. Re:what about training / courses ? on Safe Computing For the Elderly? · · Score: 1

    Meh.

    Perhaps if there were fake road signs everywhere pointing people to fake banks your analogy would hold up.

  5. Re:IPv6 adoption. on Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't spout about something you know nothing of. NAT is a terrible (although very clever) hack that completely breaks the idea of a layered network stack. It doesn't "solve" anything.

    Go read the RFCs.

  6. In other words on Giving the Gift of Ubuntu Linux for Christmas? · · Score: 1

    You're too cheap for presents yourself, so you're expecting Mark Shuttleworth to fund your Christmas, eh?

  7. detailed? on Upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy Eft a "Nightmare" · · Score: 1

    I thought this was supposed to be a "detailed report" . . . . ?

  8. Re:Two words... on Vista Licenses Limit OS Transfers, Ban VM Use · · Score: 1

    wget app.tgz;tar xvfz app.tgz;cd app-0.1;configure;make;make install;debug;edit config;configure;make clean;make install;make cleanall;patch;configure;make;make install PREFIX=prefix ...mechanism, but it does not a desktop installation method make.

    It's amazing how many people bring this up as if it's a valid argument.

  9. wtf? on A Lot of Money for Playing Games · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The guy who is just 18 years old, was prompted to take this step; because of the reason that emerged from his love for gaming.

    What the fuck is this supposed to mean?

  10. Re:Coal power on Electric Cars and Their Discontents · · Score: 1

    The page you linked to clearly shows that the Persian Gulf (a handful of tiny countries) supplies a quarter of our oil. What's your point again?

  11. Re:Unfortunaltely still just hype on Electric Cars and Their Discontents · · Score: 1

    Check your math, bubs. 1% of 2375 is 23.75, not 253.

  12. Re:Yes, it is. on Is Microprocessor/Controller Design Dead? · · Score: 1

    I licked quite a bit of the microcontroller-based embedded design,

    How did it taste?

  13. beating dead horse on The End of Native Code? · · Score: 1

    loosing != losing

  14. analysis? on BSA Claims 35% of Software is Pirated · · Score: 1

    How can a single paragraph without any facts be an analysis?

  15. Reading comprehension? on iPod Lawsuit Lawyers Sue Their Own Plaintiff? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes people's lack of reading comprehension astounds me. It seems to be the modus operandi here on Slashdot though.

    HE is suing THEM and they are countersuing for damages in that case, not the Apple class action case. That's standard fucking practice, people!

    Go back and take some kindergarten level reading classes.

  16. Re:Video Rollover ad on comment page? on iPod Lawsuit Lawyers Sue Their Own Plaintiff? · · Score: 1

    Was that the Flash that I didn't see because I've got Flashblock installed?

  17. bah on Nine Things You Should Know About Nautilus · · Score: 0, Troll

    What a waste of an article. I was hoping to find something new and interesting.

  18. Dumbasses on Wal-Mart Trying to Trademark the Smiley Face · · Score: 1

    Read the damn article and quit jumping on the "Walmart is evil" bandwagon. Grow half a fucking brain. Walmart is DEFENDING itself, not going on the offensive here. Sheesh.

  19. Re:not allowing proprietary drivers is a mistake on Should Linux Use Proprietary Drivers? · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that Linux deliberately cripples binary driver compatibility just to make it harder for anybody to ship pre-compiled drivers.

    Not at all. Linux doesn't guarantee binary compatibility because Open Source projects don't need it. That's what's allowed Linux to grow so fast and be so quick to respond to new technologies. It's got nothing to do with blocking out external drivers. That's something MS would do -- we're not MS.

  20. Re:With Apologies To Bill Watterson on Bacteria Propel Themselves with Slime Jets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The hover effects on your web page are annoying and make it almost unreadable. I wouldn't have even bothered reading it except that I have a bookmarklet to remove all colors for pages like that.

  21. Re:Standing in line at a drive-in window on Paul Allen's Microsoft Experience · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I used to do that quite often -- even better, I did it with a baby stroller!

    My apartment was right next to a taco bell . . and sometimes you just get that craving. Once I got chewed out for doing it, because a cranky manager was there. Technically, it's against their policy to serve anyone not in a car and they are *supposed to* turn you away.

  22. Re:Email taxes on Pay-per-email and the "Market Myth" · · Score: 1

    Help to buy a baby: buymychild.com [buymychild.com]

    Adopt a child instead and I'll donate $25.

  23. Re:Where are RedHat, Novel, IBM, etc on this? on The SLI Godfather · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All nvidia needs to do is open source their driver and then it's maintenance requirements drop to approximately zero.

  24. Re:recent article about that on Vonage Puts VoIP 911 Caller on Hold · · Score: 1

    Would you rather be dead or treated rudely?

    Seriously, they don't go out of their way to be rude, but they don't have time to dick around.

    No ActiveX needed :)
