  1. Re:Story meaning? on How 136 People Became 7 Million Illegal File-Sharers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think this could be summarized under lies. damn lies, and statistics.

  2. Re:I don't take test as a matter of priniciple on Appropriate Interviewing For a Worldwide Search? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you can't read a resume why did I write it?

    Because people embellish resumes and creatively bullshit through interviews who have no experience anywhere near the task at hand that they are supposed to do. An open ended test weeds out a lot of that. Even those that have been doing it for years may not be versed in how the rest of your group is working and could not have the kinds of experience you really need.

  3. Re:slow data on iPhone Straining AT&T Network · · Score: 1

    I don't have a problem with dropped calls or the like in West Texas, but 3g is nonexistant so i traded my iphone for a jailbroken g1.

  4. Re:My TV is already 3d.... on Sony To Launch 3D TVs By Late 2010 · · Score: 1

    not sure what dimension you guys are living in but my tv has both width, height, AND depth. Already 3d.

    Does it exist in time too? If so then its 4d.

  5. Re:Push for proper patent reform on Microsoft Pushes For Single Global Patent System · · Score: 1

    - Patents to be awarded to individuals only, not companies

    But corporations are legal persons.

  6. Re:Yay! Mutant Super Powers! on All Humans Are Mutants, Say Scientists · · Score: 1

    Really, mine is the ability to troll myself in my sleep. Dam Internet ruining my dreams.

  7. Re:And the app does? on iPhone App Wins Microsoft-Campus Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    So its the App of the Covenant?

  8. Re:Wow. on Woman Fired For Using Uppercase In Email · · Score: 1

    Do I have to move to NZ to get a job where I can take a nap?

    Would a siesta suffice? If so look no further than Mexico.

  9. Re:Time to fire all lawyers on Woman Fired For Using Uppercase In Email · · Score: 1

    You could be a lot more concise by replacing 99% of legal documents with the following:

    tl;dr

    FTFY

  10. Re:Something is wrong with this. on Texting Toddlers, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    Your a thoughtful parent, my parents did/are raising me a similar way (just turned 18) and I hated them for it, but that probably means they did something right.

  11. Re:Holy dupes batman on Scientists Deliver Bee Toxin To Tumors Via "Nanobees" · · Score: 1

    There's more, but I don't want to tip off the Slashdot management as to who their leak is.

    Anonymous Coward is the leak? I could have guessed that.

  12. Re:Why is this a surprise? on EA Spends 3x More On Marketing Than Development · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter if you tag on cool features and plenty bugfixes later, what will be over the net are a thousand bad reviews and comments. Nobody re-reviews games to see if they actually got better. So it all adds up to this gigantic waterfall model where everything is supposed to be finished at the same time. Or so one would hope, and then the mythical man month sets in...

    Sounds like what happened to Vista, horrible opening reviews that got fixed but stunted Vista's growth

  13. Re:Frankly on Musician Lobby Terms Balanced Copyright "Disgusting" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A want copyright laws that allow artists to earn a fair living. I want fair use spelled out. I want a limited copyright term, say 20 years. I want NO DMR.

    I want NO DRM.

  14. Re:Please don't tell me that! on James Murdoch Criticizes BBC For Providing "Free News" · · Score: 1

    Predator, at least you can't see them coming to kill you after the Aliens are destroyed.

  15. Re:Um, their first clue that these consultants suc on Security Test Prompts Federal Fraud Alert · · Score: 1

    Just like adding E or I in the early 00s.

  16. Re:If something does what it's designed to do... on Is "Good Enough" the Future of Technology? · · Score: 1

    I have alot of pockets. Space doesn't matter to me, functionality does.

  17. Re:If something does what it's designed to do... on Is "Good Enough" the Future of Technology? · · Score: 1

    Which is why I carry a camera, a phone, and a mp3 player as 3 devices. I haven't seen any one device with a 12mp camera, 80gb memory for my music (yes I do listen to atleast 40 gb of different music per week), and phone usage too.

  18. Re:My prediction on Why Is It So Difficult To Allow Cross-Platform Play? · · Score: 1

    Except the major differences in hand actions are the dpad/left stick swap and the ps3 controllers can have a motion sensor. Other than that the buttons are renamed and the triggers are different.

  19. Re:Platform Politics on Snow Leopard Drops Palm OS Sync · · Score: 1

    AAC files downloaded from the iTunes store are encrypted using Apple's DRM technology, "FairPlay", they can only be played using devices that support Apple's DRM technology

    That hasn't been true for a while now.

  20. Re:Stay classy on Snow Leopard Drops Palm OS Sync · · Score: 1

    I'll just put Windows 7 onto my MacBook instead of Snow Leopard.

    There is a special place in Hell for people that put that abomination on good computers.

    You mean putting Snow Leopard on a MacBook right.

    Yeah and sometimes that smoke goes through the monitor cable to give you a fancy BSOD.
