  1. Re:Marketing on Heavy US Demand Delays iPad's Worldwide Release · · Score: 1

    There was no specific release date other than "late April", which has been on Apple's UK site for over a month. Quit trying to make a damn conspiracy out of nothing.

  2. Re:As long as it's not Boxer, I'm ok on StarCraft Cheating Scandal Rocks Korea · · Score: 1

    YOU don't have a problem with this because it doesn't affect YOU. And having your name expire *twenty years or longer* after you've supposedly served your time isn't rehabilitation --- it's an extension of sentence. Ask any sex offender, including the ones on a list for say......statutory of a 17 year old. The mob mentality, the iPhone apps showing nice little maps where you live, etc.

    Many of them would tell you that prison is almost safer.

  3. Re:Contingencies on Microsoft Secretly Beheads Notorious Waledac Botnet · · Score: 1

    Politics? We already covered "how to do it illegally".

  4. Re:The only thing the Iphone expanded is the RDF on Why Apple Doesn't Market Squarely To Businesses · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to redefine the dictionary like that. The iPhone is called a smartphone on many tech blogs, CNN, etc. If you have a hangup over that, calling it a feature-phone doesn't change that fact.

  5. Re:No ReiserFS? on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought ReiserFS would be the "killer app" for Google...

  6. Re:Why not ask about human rights in China? on Google.cn Attack Part of a Broad Spying Effort · · Score: 1

    And that would last approximately six seconds before www.google.cn was blocked. You don't always start off a negotiation by punching someone in the face, by the way.

    Q: How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb? A: None. Feminists never change anything.

  8. Re:My Beta Impressions on Star Trek Online Open Beta Starts Today · · Score: 1

    Thanks for taking the time to type out that review. It seems thorough and on-point.

  9. Re:The Zune? Nope. on Microsoft's Risky Tablet Announcement · · Score: 1

    Early on, it was due to the accessories (docks on your office desk, car connections, etc). Now, it's a combination of that and inertia. Also, "everything" is an iPod now in the sense that all tissue is Kleenex.

  10. Re:Oh please. on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 1

    And I would fire you the first time you pulled that tactic with me. If you accept employment, you agree to work for the terms and pay offered. If you want specific terms, you request them prior to employment.

  11. Re:Tell it to the plastic clown on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does your theory apply to my uniform? I wear the ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) in most environments. I'm also an IT guy.

  12. Re:Her Constituent Status Is Only Part of It on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You assume the people that voted for him were idiots. I take offense; I voted for Pres. Obama specifically because of his policy suggestions. If you disagree with those policies, fine --- but don't try to lump everyone together and say we're blind. *I* am not.

  13. Re:And lots of bugs on New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances · · Score: 1

    I'm on a late-2008 24" iMac, 3.06Ghz / 512 Geforce 8800. My computer lags so bad in Dalaran after the 3.3 patch, I feel like a kernal panic is due any moment. One of the *first* things I noticed from the graphical changes they talked about was this weird fog in the Stormwind background behind my human paladin on the character select screen. Something drastic was changed, and not necessarily for the better.

  14. Re:You can't say NO on Saying No To Promotions Away From Tech? · · Score: 1

    And that attitude is exactly why we have programs such as MADD -- to provide facts, not wild internet theories. "A couple of beers" is why I recently stood in front of my commander, and witnessed my troop lose a stripe (for DUI). "A couple of beers" also killed my best friend when I was 19.

    Maybe....just maybe if you're a ginormous food-addicted beast will it have a lesser effect on you from "a couple of beers" than me. But that's not what kills people. It's their feeling of being superhuman; of how it won't happen to them; how 2 beers and drive becomes 6 beers and drive later on.

    I'm not attacking you -- I'm attacking that train of thought. If you drink.... even if it's just one .... CALL A TAXI. Please.

  15. Re:Watching 'Bladerunner' too many times? on Subverting Fingerprinting · · Score: 1

    Wow. [citation needed].

    No, wait...citation required.

  16. Re:You have NO IDEA about job rights on Net Neutrality Seen Through the Telegraph · · Score: 1

    You're accurate, if abrasive about it. Why so angry?

  17. Re:They still don't like us? on Cyber Attacks On US Military Jump Sharply In 2009 · · Score: 1

    1) What's your suggestion to fix the problem? I see a lot of complaints, but so few solutions. You may have suggested something like.... hardening systems thru more secure software (abandon Windows -- whether you like it or not, it's the best target due to being used by everyone). Or, maybe beefing up a cyber attack strategy? No... instead, you complained only to complain.

    2) It's not a Presidential Apology Tour. You could have made a good point, but instead you put your bias at the forefront of your post. To do so merely puts the reader/listener in a defensive position, rather than paying attention to the point you're trying to make. I don't recall seeing a press conference from Beijing where Pres. Obama is apologizing for our ways.

    I lol'd hard.

  19. Re:missing the point on Bomb-Proof Wallpaper Developed · · Score: 1

    Only on Slashdot does someone refer to Maine as an "extreme climate". I know it's cold outside your basement, but it's not that cold.

  20. Re:Is it trickery? on Bing Gains 10% Marketshare · · Score: 3, Insightful

    See, this is the asshat comments that drive me away from Slashdot. You stated that about Microsoft/Google in a way to present bias --- that MS is evil and Google is not. Microsoft *did* setup Bing to steal users --- that's how a business gets customers in an established area. You don't see McDonald's saying "No, we'll let them have the 30-39 age group" to KFC.

    Google did the exact same thing. Or do you believe that they didn't setup a search engine to steal customers from Yahoo, Altavista, and others just to sell ads?

    Why do I come here? Let me relate it to a car scenario... Say for example you drive to a McDonalds, you ask for a Big Mac and receive a Stanley Cup. That's why I come to Slashdot.

    Here on Slashdot, anything Microsoft is now filtered with asterisks. Much like curse words.

    My kingdom for a mod point. Sometimes, an epic rant as a response is necessary.
