  1. Re:Can the new buyer be worse than DICE? on DHI Group Inc. Announces Plans to Sell Slashdot Media · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure it could. HuffPoo, anybody?

  2. Re:What they say on Mystery Woman Recycles $200,000 Apple I Computer · · Score: 1

    ... thank Hedy Lamarr for laying the groundwork for spread spectrum....

    "It's not *Hedy*, it's *Hedley*. Hedley Lamarr."

  3. Re:This never works on Microsoft, Chip Makers Working On Hardware DRM For Windows 10 PCs · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Subtle facial expressions are part of acting, better resolution can show them better.

    I reckon that makes Kristen Stewart one of the greatest actresses of all time.

  4. Re:No more "Cloud", please on VMware Unveils Workplace Suite and NVIDIA Partnership For Chromebooks · · Score: 1

    Enough. No, I do not want "Cloud" services, thanks.

    So don't use them. Last I checked, no-one was being forced to do so.

    Yet.

  5. Re:Did anyone care anymore? on After 47 Years, Computerworld Ceases Print Publication · · Score: 1

    The Internet started long before the web. But you already knew that, right?

  6. Re:But how does it sound? on GIF Becomes Word of the Year 2012 · · Score: 1

    I have always pronounced it Gif, even though I know it is wrong, and jif is correct. I figure if people can get away with hair ace ment instead of hair ass ment I can do this :D

    I thought that the new, properly sensitive way of pronouncing it was "harris-ment" rather than the traditional "her-ass-ment" because the the latter was too sexually harassing...

  7. Re:it doesn't matter if he's a "real" racist or no on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 1

    "white american man"

    I do believe that "racist sexist homophobe" is the term that is currently in vogue.

  8. Re:Not anymore (see NDAA) on Leaked Memo Says Apple Provides Backdoor To Governments · · Score: 2

    According to his voting record and platform, he absolutely was a liberal. There was no reason to believe he'd be in favor of a bill like the NDAA at time we voted for him.

    That's right -- there was no way that anyone could see it coming at all.

  9. Re:here we go again on Share Links, Become Extradited To the US · · Score: 1

    Worst that can happen: Britain says no, what can the United States do then? Britain has to agree for the extradition, yes? If this guy gets extradited it's not only on the American government that's responsible

    No, the worst that could happen is that he fights extradition in a British court and loses, with the judgement rendered in such a way that it drastically lowers the bar for future cases.

  10. Re:not that its in any way comparable on LulzSec Offers to Take Revenge On Sega Hackers · · Score: 1

    Er, given the context, wouldn't that be a 6-foot hole?

  11. Could it be? on LulzSec Offers to Take Revenge On Sega Hackers · · Score: 1

    I've really started to believe that LulzSec is a PsyOp aimed at insuring that the public supports more intrusive "cyber-laws."

  12. Re:Ah well. on A Piece of Internet History Lost: IO.com Sold, Services To Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I'm posting Anon so my brothers will not know it was me that let the secret out. ...yaddi yada... They would kill me if I posted this under my real account and traced it back to me!

    fail

    Whoosh

  13. Re:Not the real name on Disney Seeks Trademark On 'Seal Team 6' · · Score: 1

    And watch what happens when someone tries to make a live-action movie about their exploits. Do you really think that Disney's simply going to stand idly by and let them do it, or are they more likely to initiate legal action ?

  14. Re:I wish I knew this before I voted for Obama! on White House Wants Phone Records Without Oversight · · Score: 1

    I do believe that one went way over your head. Try reading it again, but this time place your tongue firmly in cheek....

  15. Re:Le sigh on FCC Fights To Maintain Indecency Policy · · Score: 1

    Sorry, didn't catch that. Were you trying to be relevant?

  16. Re:Pirate Reality on Developer Demands Pirate Bay Not Remove Torrent · · Score: 1

    Right, boycott. Then, on the off chance that the boycott is successful in reducing profits, all the "cartels," will do is complain to the media and the lawmakers that "dem ebbul piwates aw steawing fwom us," and (surprise, surprise) even more laws get passed in their favor, against us.

    Oh, and by the way, I rarely pirate my stuff. I do, on occasion, download a movie to see if it worth buying when it's released on DVD. Bought quite a few that way. In fact, bought the whole Kevin Smith collection after downloading and watching JSBSB.

    Works the other way, too. It's kept me from wasting my time and money on trash like SW:E1/2/3...

  17. Re:yeah! on FCC Fights To Maintain Indecency Policy · · Score: 1

    As long as they're delivering some toasted ham and cheese sammiches, I'm OK with that...

  18. Re:Le sigh on FCC Fights To Maintain Indecency Policy · · Score: 1
    Er, there's this new thing I keep hearing about. Maybe you've heard of it: "correlation!=causation." I'm told it's the latest fashion in London.

  19. Re:Banksy media campaign on Cleaners Paint Over Priceless Art · · Score: 1

    The same media still glorifies Tu-Punk.

  20. Re:Security through obscurity? on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 1

    You forgot the "holding-hands-in-a-circle-and-singing-kumbaya" part...

  21. Re:But, but..."all Sony standards fail" on The End of the 3.5-inch Floppy Continues · · Score: 1

    ... but why did Sony create their own memory media standard when there was already too many options on the market?

    Hubris.

  22. Re:SuddenOutbreakOf... on Indian Copyright Bill Declares Private, Personal Copying "Fair Dealing" · · Score: 1

    Sounds strangely... familiar.

  23. Re:The new Splinter Cell Conviction on Ubisoft DRM Problems Remain Unsolved · · Score: 1

    Mod -2 An Hero

  24. Re:Whatever on Obama Outlines Bold Space Policy ... But No Moon · · Score: 1
