  1. Dream on on To Google Friends Or Not To Google, That Is the Question · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not one of the people I know have a "presence online" - Google may know about them because they use Android, but they have no profiles on plus, facebook, myspace or anywhere else, they do not post updates about themselves constantly and if i google their names i get someone else with that name.
    And only small fry will be held "accountable" the big ones will continue to get away, as they always have.

  2. Re:Game Controls on Wired Proclaims the Death of the Game Console · · Score: 1

    I thought consoles were the little handheld pieces of crap, like the wiii? The xbox is a PC - and old and outdated PC sure, but still a PC

    It still sick.

  4. Don't be an idiot on NetFlix Caught Stealing DivX Subtitles From Finnish Pirates · · Score: 2

    This is not Netflix policy, then have thousands of employes in many countries, and to get stuff subtitles they have hired many different companies. Presumably one of those companies had an idiot working for them, who did this. And most likely that person is now fired.

  5. No on NetFlix Caught Stealing DivX Subtitles From Finnish Pirates · · Score: 1

    Netflix hasn't said that - nor are they likely to.

  6. Don't give up your day job on A Day in Your Life, Fifteen Years From Now · · Score: 1

    Besides, 15 years from now I'll be existing in a computer matrix after the singularity. It's great fun in there - everything is possible, and its bigger on the inside!

  7. If its alien on Curiosity Spies Unidentified, Metallic Object On Mars · · Score: 1

    They won't tell us anyway, so don't get excited.

    *** Message removed for your protection ***

  10. Get over it on Astronomers Search For Dyson Spheres of Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    WE are the first ones, sad but true - now stop wasting money looking at the stars and build a ship instead.

  11. Re:Copycat suicides on A Suicide Goes Viral On the Internet · · Score: 2

    Could we have your name and address so we can make sure not to help you WHEN you get sick and infirm.

  12. Re:Uhhh well a different view... on Free Font Helps People With Dyslexia · · Score: 1

    Go stand in the corner with The Earth is Flat society, and global warming deniers.

  15. Of course they are going to say its illegal on EU Court Asked To Rule On Private Copying · · Score: 1

    As with all huge unions its all about greed, and making money. Voters be dammed.

  16. Capitalism wants to make money on Advertisers Never Intended To Honor DNT · · Score: 1

    So they don't care what you want, because they want to run their ever larger, bloated, growing websites.

    Unless we get a greed cap.

  17. Re:LOL, American "democracy"! on Federal Judge Says No Right To Secret Ballot, OKs Barcoded Ballots · · Score: 0

    Wow, you are so stupid you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Its ok not to no things, but its not ok to make up shit because one can't be bothered to figure things out.

    You are comparing apples to bicycles.

    If people can chose their leaders its a democracy, if they can't its a dictatorship.

    If a country has a president it is a republic, if they have a king or queen it is a monarchy.

    If you have a king or president has no bearing on whether or not it is a democracy.

    Iraq, before the war was a republic which was not a democracy.
    The UK is a democratic monarchy.
    Saudi Arabia is a non-democratic monarchy.
    The USA is a democratic republic.

  18. Re:Marketing guy's function on Why Non-Coders Shouldn't Write Code · · Score: 1

    What if the previous text ended with a "." - now you've changed the text to read ".," - that's a bug right there!

    Then you won't have that ugly apple marring the entire trailer

  20. Google full of crap on Google Bans Online Anonymity While Patenting It · · Score: 0

    "'It's important to use your common name,' Google explains in its Google+ ground rules, 'so that the people you want to connect with can find you.'"

    Bullshit, on the order of nazi propaganda. Google wants you to use your real name so they can make more money from me. The people I want to connect with me can easily find me, I mail them a alink - your policies are making people I DON'T want to connect with find me.

    Or it would if I used G+ which I won't. But you've lost your way greedy google.

  21. Re:Read the trademark! on Author Threatens To Sue Book Reviewers Over Trademark Infringement · · Score: 4, Funny

    "This is Slashdot and nobody seems to have done a simple USPTO search!"

    Because we use Google, not some weirdo search thing!

  22. Re:A better way? on Russia Builds World's Largest Nuclear Powered Ice-Breaker · · Score: 1

    "Pushing a heavy ship up on the ice to crush it and thus break it may be efficient, but is hardly the only way to break ice, and probably not the most efficient all things considered."

    No no, the better way is the American way: Release a lot of crap into the stratosphere heating up the planet and getting rid of all the ice at once by melting it! ;-)
