  1. Re:Why would anyone go for a Holiday in a Muslim c on UK and US Suspect That ISIS Bomb Took Down Flight 9268 (cnn.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because not all Muslims are violent terrorists? And not all Muslims wear traditional dress believe it or not.

  2. Re:brief review of article on A New Lease On Internal Combustion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not really, if you run out of Ethanol, the engine will run fine, but with reduced performance due to the increased knock, or more accurately due to the retardation of the timing/change of the mixture to avoid the possibility of increased knock.

    Not changing your oil at the manufacturers recommended interval is foolish and stupid, and imho you deserve engine trouble if you dont! An ethanol topup is the least of your worries if you don't follow the cars basic maintenance requirements.

  3. Taste Good? on Priest Brews in Washing Machine · · Score: 1

    Betcha it does - nothing like that clean taste!

  4. Wait a minute on Total Commercialization Awareness · · Score: 2, Funny

    Slashdot sells out to Al Qauida?? OMG!!

  5. Re:I won't move to Mac. Make Mac move to me on Moving to Mac Made Easy · · Score: 1

    I moved from a PC=-based setup to a G4. Unplugged my Korg 1212 card, plugged it in the Mac, installed drivers and Logic, and I've never looked back since in terms of increased performance and stability, and general user satisfaction. Well worth the estimated 20% extra price premium.

  6. FP on All-In-One Interface For All Your Retro/Legacy Drives · · Score: -1, Troll

    Cool Tech! Bust out the SX-64!

  7. Re:If you don't believe this... on The Rise and Fall of the Geek · · Score: 1

    You stupid, gullible moron

  8. Re:This is the same Jef Raskin... on The Humane Interface · · Score: 3

    ..of course "Unix" backwards is "Xinu", which is awfully close to "Xenu", super being. Ask your local Scientologist if you're not sure.
    The Master Of Muppets,

  9. Re:If you want more Linux drivers... on Bob Young Responds Personally, Not Officially · · Score: 2

    What will that tell 'em if you've already bought
    the product?

    "cool, they buy our stuff anyway, why bother
    writing drivers?"...

    The Master Of Muppets,

  10. Re:Note to all these ppl that dont like txt msgs on 2b Or !2b: Shakespeare TxtMsg Contest · · Score: 2

    Don't be dumb

    BT Cellnet > BT Cellnet off peak = 2p/minute
    Text message = 10p

    I can talk for 2.5 minutes or send 160 characters
    for the same price

    Which is preferable?
    The Master Of Muppets,

  11. Re:Cellphone Jammers. on Even More Surveillance Cameras For England · · Score: 1

    Look at "The Wall" -- that illustrates it pretty well

    So is that your only reference material? A fictional work by a rock band?

    A headmaster dishing out a caning would be in court facing some kind of molestation charges before he'd finished whacking...

    Fool

  12. Re:D2A2D on The Bride Of Macrovision · · Score: 1

    Err.. Yes, it's called COMPRESSION...

  13. No IM's! on High Tech Medical Clinics? · · Score: 1

    Last thing I want is my surgeon cybersexing some truck driver in Massachusetts pretending to be an 18-year old nymph called Valerie, whilst operating...

    Ouch!

  14. Is the keyboard proprietary? on La-Z-Boy's E-Cliner · · Score: 1

    Can't see from the pictures - is the cool-looking Sony keyboard proprietary to a WebTV unit, or a generic PC-compatible unit?

  15. Re:Cool - lets see some pics! on New Planetary Systems Stun Astronomers · · Score: 1

    Heh! Missed that, thanks! Unfortunately, I am of the dumbed-down "look at the pretty pictures" type.

    Might pop and take a look though...

  16. Cool - lets see some pics! on New Planetary Systems Stun Astronomers · · Score: 3

    Hope it has auroras like Jupiters.

    I love these sort of images...

  17. Re:Warning GOATSE.CX on Toysmart Database To Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    Hmmm - if I clicked on a the word "Asses", that was hyperlinked in an offtopic comment, I think that I for one would have an idea what I was going to see!

  18. Of Course It Will. on "D-VHS": Will it replace DVD? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately (or not), D-VHS will become popular because of the familiarity of the VHS standard.

    Even though the two formats are barely related, the average consumer will relate to that instantly, "...er, so it's like VHS but with a D, digital then?", whereas many consumers still say "DVD, thats mini laserdisc innit?"

  19. Shame..... on Taxing Free Software · · Score: 1

    ...that there's no .bas domain, as as a skilled QuickBasic programmer this would be extremely cool.. :)

  20. Re:monkeybrained robot arm on Give That Monkey Brain A Robotic Arm! · · Score: 1

    I don't think that this is a troll, that's a bit unfair. It actually made me think for a bit about the ramifications of this technology, quite an insightful comment really. Probably wasn't meant to be though.

    Then again, what do I know, I'm a simpleton...

  21. Re:Nice troll on Firewall On A PCI card · · Score: 1

    Sealant Coat? That would be the solder mask then..?

    Try advertising wholesome healthy food with the same megabuck flash advertising budget as McDonald$. Where are you getting the money from. They are targetting kids. Don't underestimate this..

    Hell I need to get out more.. (and eat a meaty burger.)

  23. Re:Dirty little game on Novell vs. Microsoft - Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    > I know that Windows 2000 is a step up from > Windows NT 4.0, and I know that I've NEVER been > impressed with ANYTHING I've seen from Novell. Like what then? Why did you enter the debate, what are you basing this on... I ask again, WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN FROM NOVELL?

  24. Re:Lisa UI on The History Behind the Lisa UI · · Score: 1

    You do both at once? I can't see how that would work. Try using a cupholder and a hands-free kit, and not endangering the lives of other road users..

  25. Re:Anyone clued in on Airbus QC? on France Sues U.S. and UK Over Echelon · · Score: 1

    Renault 5 GT Turbo's are available for about £800ukp, have a 1.4 turbocharged engine, do 0-60 in 7 and a bit seconds, handle well, and only blow up every 40,000 miles (!) That's a cool car.. --
