  1. Touch screens suck on A Turning Point for Touch Screens, Says the NYT · · Score: 1, Funny

    They get more and more greasy as you touch them, so you have to clean them all the time and since cleaning them means touching them you end up having formatted your harddrive or something.

  2. Re:Why not earlier? on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    "I suppose you also run without anti-virus because you "don't use IE, don't visit any questionable websites, etc.""

    No, I run without antivirus because it slows down the system.

    "Remember, there are only two kinds of unpatched Windows installs: pwned and about to be pwned..."

    All generalizations are wrong.

    "which do you have, and how do you know?"

    I'm paranoid.

  3. Re:Option to turn it off.. on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    Yeah that's like when creeps send you spam and tell you that you can unsubscribe. Yeah, but you still annoyed us.

    (And funny you didn't tell us how to turn it off)

  4. Re:Why not earlier? on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    "Huh? Microsoft did push IE7 to everyone."

    No they didn't.

    "Except for the very few people who know that there is a way to permanently decline updates"

    Ah, well good thing i have disabled any auto updates then.

    "which most people don't--and shouldn't--do"

    You don't get to decide what should or shouldn't do. Each microsoft update makes the system slower and more unwieldy.

  5. Microsoft lover on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    No, they are wrong and should stop behaving amorally.

  6. Re:Actually a good idea on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    As if there ever was any "support"

  7. Now those morons are evil on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    You don't nag me - ever, you hear? It's none of your fucking business which version i'm using, nor should you phone home on a regular basis. And what "support" from Mozilla? If you can't figure something out you are generally fucked unless you can find a user to help you, what help are they supposed to ever have offered.

    Guess its time to go back to microsoft. Unless someone can hack this out of the program.

  8. Re:Oh goody... on 2008 Is the Coldest Year of the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    Wow, believe it or not, most people are idiots.

    Here in Europe it's been a new heat record every month.

  10. What? on Leaping the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    It's a recording of a woman with some graphics over it? That's what it sounds like (and doesn't sound impressive)

  11. There was olympics on the internets? on Why the Olympics Didn't Melt the Internet · · Score: 1

    Nobody tells me anything!

    (What's olympics?)

  12. Re:Patent free for the BBC on BBC's Open Player Claims Not Followed Through · · Score: 1

    Not until they are pressured by commercial american interests to change the law.

  13. Re:Sure, and then.... on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 1

    It's already a boring arms race, just with body parts

  14. Indeed on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 2, Funny

    Give them all drugs and you have leveled the playing field. Its not as if its about anything but money anyway.

  15. Good idea on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 1

    It's not like any of them are particularly representative of the majority of humans on the planet as it is.

  16. Ban moderator on Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates · · Score: 1

    Troll? He clearly isn't clever enough to moderate.

  17. Have you been into space? on The Flat Earthers Are Still With Us · · Score: 1

    I haven't. Perhaps its round, perhaps they are lying.

    Give me a trip to the moon and i'll get back to you.

  18. 200 is still sick on RIAA Foiled By "Innocent Infringement" Defense · · Score: 1

    But then that's the way they roll it seems.

  19. Re:Lack of demos. on Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates · · Score: 0, Troll

    Fuck what you think it's about, people have started a general discussion which is what slashdot is about, its not just the support site for that programmer.

  20. Re:Get your affairs in order, people on Large Hadron Collider Goes Live September 10th · · Score: 1

    "Even if it somehow does, they will very likely dissipate in fractions of a second."

    Along with the earth!

    "So it would take billions of lifetimes (or more) for you to even notice the effects if one were stuck in you."

    Assuming you know everything.

  21. The end of the world! on Large Hadron Collider Goes Live September 10th · · Score: 1

    Then they'll create a micro black hole and suck the earth into it! So better buy your new stuff now, don't wait for christmas or birthday!

  22. Re:I'm still waiting on The Ultimate CSS Reference · · Score: 1

    Any browser breaking the rules yeah, but they shouldn't scale absolute sizes if they follow the standard (which only MSIE did for a while there)

  23. What an objective piece on Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser · · Score: 1

    ... no wait, it wasn't - I was thinking about something else *g*

  24. I'm still waiting on The Ultimate CSS Reference · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for a book about how CSS destroyed the web. Before that, I could scale webpages and read it all - then the army of idiots from newspaper marched in with their expectation of WYSIWYG and started using absolute font sizes all over.

    Well perhaps you pronounce MR2 different in your dialect, but it works in france.
