  1. That's "Former Marine" please on Judge Orders Release of Ex-Marine Detained Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 5, Informative

    not ex-Marine

  2. I put the over/under of soylent green jokes at 50 on Meat the Food of the Future · · Score: 2

    and the over/under of future food overlords jokes at 12.

  3. FUCK THE UN on US Resists UN Push For Control Over Internet · · Score: 1

    I said. Fuck 'em. Corrupt organization run and used by tyrants. Fuck them.

  4. Tech support chat exists to get rid of accents on IT Support Pro Tells Why He Hates Live Chat · · Score: 1

    That's it. No other reason. People don't want to speak with someone they can't understand and text doesn't have an accent.

  5. Should have picked code name "fugly" on Microsoft Drops 'Metro' Name For Windows 8 UI · · Score: 1

    God awful ugly interface

  6. Does the game allow the buyer to edit the keys? on CowboyNeal Reviews Orcs Must Die! 2 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The previous game did not allow the buyer to edit the keys. Incredibly stupid. Not everyone uses WASD.

  7. Don't click the NY Times link.They just need views on Apple Store Employees Soak Up the Atmosphere, But Not Much Cash · · Score: 1

    They are following the Dvorak method for generating page views. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOHzHVF-4Mg Don't fall for it.

  8. Dell or Apple refurb on Ask Slashdot: How To Shop For a Laptop? · · Score: 2

    no other choice. Save a ton of money and get great warranties

  9. Fucking idiots on Methane Producing Dinosaurs May Have Changed Climate · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm nto going to read the article. This is just another tree hugger trying to prove global warming is caused by people by showing it has been done before. I'm fine with being modded down.

  10. What's wrong with an SATA drive and dock? on 30 Blu-ray Discs In a 1.5TB MiniDisc-Like Cassette · · Score: 1

    I'm sure a single 2TB SATA hard drive is cheaper than the cassette and I know a cheap eSATA dock will be cheaper than ODA system. If you're worried about water, put the drive in a ziploc bag before transporting.

  11. I'm now waiting on FreeQEMM on FreeDOS 1.1 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    and FreeDESQview as well.

  12. After getting shit on by Duke Nukem 4ever, on Swiss Gov't: Downloading Movies and Music Will Stay Legal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't condone piracy but I can understand it.

  13. Then there isn't anything to do on IEA Warns of Irreversible Climate Change In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    No way to make any meaningful changes within 5 years. IEA screwed up by crying wolf with a doomsday that was too early.

  14. "overwhelming feedback with no notable dissent..." on No Tab Relocation Coming For Chrome · · Score: 3, Insightful

    on that specific bug tracker thread. Just because 99% of the people replying in THAT thread doesn't mean that 99% of all chrome users support that position.

    Personally, I love the tabs being on top because that is where I think they belong. Everything under the tab belongs under the tab. The address bar, navigation buttons, print button, actual web page, and everything else belongs to that specific page and should be under a tab. If the tabs are on the bottom then the tab's container holds the address bar, navigation buttons, print button and everything EXCEPT the actual web page. Silly.

    Tabs belong on the top. Now, I wouldn't care if google made an option to allow the user to move the tabs to the bottom.

    But to whine about google's "arrogance" by not doing what you want them to do shows real arrogance.

  15. How about giving Thunderbolt a few months first on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Thunderbolt was just released a few months ago. USB3 has been out for almost 2 years and it is finally starting to get a little traction in the marketplace. Something else to keep in mind is that Thunderbolt is Intel tech, not Apple. Intel is pushing Thunderbolt so Thunderbolt will be on 95% of mobos in a couple years. Since Thunderbolt is Intel tech, Microsoft will support it as well. Don't discount how much damage was done to FW by shitty MS firewire drivers that barely worked. Intel, Microsoft, and Apple will all be pushing Thunderbolt to succeed.

    One last thing, look for video card manufacturers to be pushing TB as well to get rid of DL DVI,DVI, and VGA cables.

    Thunderbolt will succeed.

  16. Open them up and salvage the magnets on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Very powerful magnets in the drives. Open them up, take out the magnets, and throw away the drives. If you are really paranoid, pop the discs out. But definitely salvage the magnets. They come in handy.

  17. King was a great man on The Copyright Nightmare of 'I Have a Dream' · · Score: 2

    Shame that 90% of his family are money grubbing whores.

  18. Re:And this obsession with bass on Why Your Dad's 30-Year-Old Stereo Sounds Better Than Yours · · Score: 1

    "Iâ(TM)d also like to note that modern speakers arenâ(TM)t big enough!"

    That's the truth. Sound is nothing but changes in air pressure and small speaker simply can not move enough air. I'm completely baffled how the 4" subwoofer was accepted by the public.

  19. I can give you one. Because evil never dies. on Six Reasons Why Flash Isn't Going Away · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Keeping flash off my iPhone was a great decision by Jobs.

  20. Duh! All of China is slave labor. on Photos of Chinese Sweatshop Used By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    But no one cares as long as their newest toy is affordable.

    Just be grateful no one is losing a limb folding promotional materials.

  21. Re:Answers (This old saw again?) on The iPad Questions Apple Won't Answer · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Will Apple make it even easier for people to buy their music from a service other than iTMS? Why on Earth would that want to do that?"

    I've got 90 Gigs of music that I manage with iTunes and transfer among an iPhone and a nano and NONE of it has been purchased on iTunes. I have bought a couple dozen audio books fr om audible and a couple of digital CDs from Amazon.

    This whole "iTunes is locked into Apple" is still bullshit.

  22. Re:Help Me Understand .... on MPAA Shuts Down Town's Municipal WiFi Over 1 Download · · Score: 1

    "What responsibility or culpability does the bar owner / bar tender have if someone leaves their bar totally drunk and kills someone on their way home? "

    The bar owner has money, assets, property, and a business that can be seized if sued. Usually the drunk doesn't.

  23. Re:Good on AT&T Sues Verizon Over "Map For That" Ads · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "iPhone gets all the hype, and indeed it's doing quite well for itself, but it's only selling 2/3 as many units as RIM (though catching up)"

    How is it selling "2/3 as many units" yet "catching up?"

  24. This is why I use Delphi... on "Side By Side Assemblies" Bring DLL Hell 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Yes, I may be the only one using Delphi, but my apps are self-contained and they run correctly every time.

  25. Re:Its justified price on Why Games Cost $60 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "You pay atleast $15+ to go the movies, "

    I don't. Matinee prices for me or I wait for the DVD.

    I won't pay $70 for a game either. I got burned by immediately paying $50 for the unplayable Splinter Cell Double Agent PC game and I swore off paying those prices. Saved me another $50 when Wolfenstein turned out to be sucky as well but for different reasons.

    On the other hand, I paid $20 for Killing Floor and I've put hundreds of hours into that game unfortunately. I'll get Left4Dead when it hits $20 as well.

    You suckers keep paying $50 and $60 for games and the prices will only go higher.
