    You're confused and abusive. Let me help you out. He was referring to racial attributes, not nationality. Perhaps these concepts elude you, or maybe you just felt like sticking it to a honkey. Either way my brotha, you've blown your cover.

    The Wikipedia article on Snopes confirms its veracity. Unfortunately the Snopes article on Wikipedia does not reciprocate.

    Seriously? You can't trust the wikipedia article on The Gun That Shoots Dogs That Bar Bees? How the fuck are we going to convict people who wield it now?

    She had a calculated plan to drive a child to kill herself. The bitch needs to face the consequences.

    People who are criminally inclined usually believe themselves to be above consequences. They'll just see the message as being for other scammers.

    The original Kilgore Trout can actually string a sentence together without failing like you did.

  9. Re:Fine on Exchange Rates Spell High Prices for Windows 7 In the EU · · Score: 1

    Exactly. $NZD is about half the US dollar. $NZD199 would put Windows 7 at a price I'd actually like to pay, not this $NZD400 rubbish.

  10. Re:Break your project into manageable steps on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 1

    We're going to be seconded buddies regarding your comment about taking time off.

    No matter how enthusiastic you are about a project, you need to take time off when you're feeling like you're running on empty. I code for two or three days straight then spend a day playing Xbox and sleeping in. Couldn't get by without it.

  11. Break your project into manageable steps on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Break your project into manageable steps. It's the only way to tackle large, complicated tasks when you lack motivation.

    If you do enough small steps, you'll regain your enthusiasm for the project. Then you'll be back on the rails in no time.

  12. Re:Return on investment on Switching To Solar Power, One Year Later · · Score: 1

    The risk with this idea is the that cheaper, better solar panels will come out in that time. Then your expensive, inefficient solar panels are just costing you money.

    I'm pretty sure Oprah is some kind of tiny-fat-person Voltron, so it's understandable that you were confused upon seeing the word Unite.

  14. Re:Spot o' tea, guvnah? on UK Tax Breaks For "Culturally British" Games · · Score: 1

    Now that you mention it, you're absolutely right. Back in the Amiga days when a large number of game titles were coming out of the UK they displayed their local influences quite strongly. These days games are a little more Americanised, regardless of where they were developed. Surely the American matket doesn't represent the whole demographic.

    Add "perpetually boring" and change some accents and you've just described Far Cry 2.

  16. Re:no on Iran Moves To End "Facebook Revolution" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I was offering opinion and metaphor, while you offered falsely connected statistics. The point of my post was to indicate that election outcomes can often surprise and disappoint. The point of your post was to connect black redneck US voters to the Iranian election. One of us has failed at logic.

  17. Re:what is going on ? on Iran Moves To End "Facebook Revolution" · · Score: 1

    There's always someone ready to claim an election was stolen.

    This is only Ahmadinejad's second four-year term and despite being wildly unpopular overseas to due his own actions and various foreign propaganda, it does sound like he was re-elected fairly despite vocal minorities. Sound like anyone you know?

    Just because the US doesn't like someone, doesn't mean they stole an election. Just because a vocal minority in the US hates Bush, doesn't mean he cheated either. Sometimes half the vote isn't enough to silence your critics from claiming you cheated.

  18. Re:Hmm, tough choice on Iran Moves To End "Facebook Revolution" · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You were moderated funny, but you also deserve to be rated insightful.

    Iran's connectivity problems are just as likely to be the US's fault as they are their own. Destabilising a government often involves removing access to communications then blaming it on the local regime.

  19. More to the point... on Should Wikipedians Edit Stories For Pay? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Should Slashdot editors continue to be paid for their sub-wiki level of article quality?

    Slashdot should refocus on user generated content, with the most skilled editors earning priority and eventually compensation on their story submissions. I expect taco to be out of a job within a week.

  21. Re:There is a way around that. on Judge OK's MediaSentry Evidence, Limits Defendant's Expert · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have a problem with this whole proposition. I don't like dishonesty.

    The RIAA suing select people for vastly more than they could reasonably claim in damages is dishonest. These select users lying to get otherwise reasonable justice is also dishonest.

    The entire system needs to change, but in the meantime people should fight the good fight rather than lie and use technicalities they know are dishonest. We want to be the good guys here.

    I was responding to the mention of an N800 in the article summary as an ebook reader. Surely it wasn't that hard for you to make the correct connection.

    My bad, the iPhone is 480x320. So it sort of sucks balls.

    My N770 isn't just dirt cheap, it's a fine ebook reader as it has a higher resolution screen than the iPhone: 640x480 vs 840x480.

    It's also a great little remote desktop terminal when I'm around the house. I use it as a winamp remote.
