  1. Re:Already an issue.. on Apple Outs Anti-Jailbreak Update · · Score: 1

    It is not a fix. At all. I ended up reverting mine back to OS 3.1 because it was so goddamn painful.

  2. Re:Are they all tuned to the same channel? on Sidestepping A-to-D Convertors For Town Government's Cable TV? · · Score: 0, Troll

    >>>maybe they should stop paying for fucking cable

    Ya know it helps if you read the WHOLE post, because I already addressed that issue. Quote: "And next Comcast (along with the FCC and other CATV companies) want to shutdown channels 25 and up to eliminate competition from Free TV. That will effectively force people to upgrade to Comcast TV or Comcast Internet." i.e. They'd have no choice but to "pay the fucking cable" bill.

    You addressed the issue? Where?

    And there's plenty of choice. Maybe you can start by lifting that lumbering fat ass from the couch and turning off the television.

  3. Re:Email capabilities on What iOS 4 Does (and Doesn't Do) For Business · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You are indeed an F'd up sadistic moron. Really. Do you carry four pair of pants with you at all times? One for general use and the other three for your major customers. Holy fuckin' shit.

  4. Re:Slashdot on Google Incorporates Site Speed Into PageRank Calculation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you bitch about not knowing something and then when people graciously try to help you out, you verbally shit on them? Don't ever ask me for help. And enjoy your wasted bandwidth that you're too incompetent to fix and to assheaded to accept help with.

  5. Re:CmdrTaco drags big brass ones along the ground on iPad Review · · Score: 1

    Meh. They'd rather rant instead. I guess it makes them feel important or something.

  6. Re:iPad on iPad Review · · Score: 0, Troll

    So basically there's no good use for the iPad for people too stupid to think of a good use for it.

    ftfy

  7. Meh. on What the Top US Companies Pay In Taxes · · Score: 1, Informative

    I don't suppose anyone here knows squat about the double taxation trap corporations face. Oh no, it's much more fun to rant and flame when you're uninformed.

  8. Re:three words: on 6 Smartphone Keyboards Compared · · Score: 1

    .... I read slashdot all the time on my iphone. Don't know what you tards are wanking about.

    And for what it's worth, the iphone browser runs on webkit. Which is the same engine that powers chrome that you probably rub one out to every night.

  9. Re:Debate on 6 Smartphone Keyboards Compared · · Score: 1

    no. Prefer. By far.

  10. Meh on 6 Smartphone Keyboards Compared · · Score: 1

    All this article shows is that the author can type better on a physical keyboard. Nothing else. What a waste of 30 seconds of my time.

  11. They want to see shit...they'll see shit on PA School Spied On Students Via School-Issued Laptop Webcams · · Score: 1

    I'd take a photo of my asshole and mount it in front of the camera. And I'm sure I could figure out how to redirect an 80's porn groove into the mic input.

  12. Re:screen on Keep SSH Sessions Active, Or Reconnect? · · Score: 1

    You kind of missed the point. He's not asking how he can resume sessions. He's asking whether it's safer to leave an ssh connection open all the time or establish a connection when needed.

  13. Re:Diploma mills prove the worthlessness of degree on Key EDS Witness Bought Internet Degree · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why the parent was marked "insightful".

    The crux of the parent post is: "smart" people lack confidence, therefore confident people are not smart.

    Because that's insightful.

    Most people don't realize that (to quote a bad cliché) the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know. So a person who's confident that they know all there is to know on a subject is quite likely less knowledgeable than the person who doesn't make that overreaching claim.

  14. Re:Oh, no... on Students Failing Because of Poor Grammar · · Score: 1

    The spoken vernacular is quite different from written literature.

    He is correct. As are you.

    Read that last sentence as "There's a plethora of "u"s unnecessary to American English, e.g., colour vs. color."

    Not that anyone should be taking grammar lessons from someone who thinks he's cool because he can write without capital letters.

    She wouldn't believe me.

    Hello dictionary?

    I did the same thing in my Honors English class in high school when I showed my teacher the difference between bizarre and bazaar.

  18. Re:The Solution... on Students Failing Because of Poor Grammar · · Score: 1

    I use proper spelling and grammar everywhere except when I have to specifically shorten a post to make it fit into a tweet. But that's conscious space-saving editing, not a foolish attempt to "save time."

    I agree. Text speak is in no way time saving. It is, however, a great signal for low intelligence and/or education.

  19. Re:unpossible on Students Failing Because of Poor Grammar · · Score: 1

    We also have a proficiency test at wsu.edu. Students that fail it must take remedial tutoring. I taught some sessions for a few semesters and the attitudes of the engineering students were shocking. I feel sorry for some of their future job prospects.

  20. Re:unpossible on Students Failing Because of Poor Grammar · · Score: 1

    I would say, "What the hell is up with all your random unnecessary pauses?"

    Without changing your text at all, this is what I'd write. The semicolon could also be exchanged for a period.

    Some say that Idiocracy was a documentary sent back from the future and that The Man needs a dumbed-down populace to keep the likes of Walmart and the current political system in business; all we know is that popular culture emphasizes dumbness over intelligence. Welcome to 2010.

  21. Re:No flash support on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'd rather they focus on the shit that I actually use.

    And each additional option they add reduces usability. Come out of your basement someday.

  22. Re:No flash support on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    That must be why they don't let you run web apps!

    Oh, wait, they do. Maybe it really has something to do with what they've stated many times. Flash is CPU hungry and would eat the battery for lunch. Yes. It's garbage. I'm happy that my phone doesn't do flash.

    Flash can be made most secure by simply getting rid of that garbage.

  24. This is a review? on A Mixed Review For Google Chrome On Linux · · Score: 1

    I mean, seriously, this looks like the author stuck a pencil in his ass and poked it at the keyboard a few times. Did anyone read it before voting it to the front page?

  25. Uh, wat? on The Software Router As MiFi Killer · · Score: 1

    A "software based wireless router" is going to change everything?! ZOMG! However do they do that? Wait, what? Linux and OSX have been doing this for ... well basically forever?

    Who the hell writes these? Much less puts them on the front page of slashdot.
