  1. Re:Selective Communism on Chinese City Wants To Build a Censorship-Free Hub · · Score: 1

    How often do you get an invitation to invade somebody? "See, we're really bored, and our military is itching for some killin'..."

    This is Slashdot; we're masters of the overly dramatic.

    And technically, if it was fruit-based, it would be "mango." And margarine is obviously a butter substitute.

    It always makes me flinch when purple I run into a random word thrown into the middle of a sentence.

    Oh hey, I thought you had gotten bored and gone to a different site to insult people. Hi MJK :-)

    No no no, everybody knows you can't be sexist against men.

    Is that worse than not offering the feature at all? (I suppose it probably kinda is.)

  9. Re:Make the best browser on Firefox Is For "Regular" Users, Not Businesses · · Score: 1
    Solution: Go fuck yourself.

    Telling someone to use a different program with a different feature set is not a solution to the problem they are currently having.

  10. Re:And this is different how? on Hulu For Sale: Is There Good News For Users? · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, and depending on what time zone it's originally aired in, the latest episode can be up by the end of the day in my time zone. Watching Doctor Who at the same local time, the day of broadcast, FTW.

  11. Re:And this is different how? on Hulu For Sale: Is There Good News For Users? · · Score: 1

    I can watch pretty much any TV show ever aired by looking them up on about 3 other sites anyway. True, the video is crappy flash quality, but there's no commercials and it's free, and I don't require my visual entertainment to give me continuous eyegasms (HD!!11!1!1!!!!1 :-D

  12. And this is different how? on Hulu For Sale: Is There Good News For Users? · · Score: 1

    indications that free Hulu users will have to be a cable subscriber in order to watch shows the day after they air

    Maybe I watch the wrong shows, but the ones I've watched have usually been on a 7-day wait, i.e., "you can see it as soon as the next one airs."

  13. Re:Put a fork in it on No Additional Firefox 4 Security Updates · · Score: 1

    I would very much start using a forked version of 3.0 or 3.5 if they ported the security fixes since back. Honestly there hasn't been a feature since 3.0 that I've really needed, and we already know that all the addons will work.

  14. Re:no reason to conclude open source is not secure on 13-Year-Old Password Security Bug Fixed · · Score: 1

    To be fair, Ubuntu by default only requires you type in your user password for that kind of thing. Combine with one of those "click yes to anything" users and you really don't have any extra security other than the commonly-cited "less malware if not on Windows" angle.

    Does anybody know what the deal is with Ubuntu's hidden/disabled root account? I.e., what exactly they did and why?

  15. Re:A bad idea. on ICANN To Allow .brandname Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    People like you are why the user who actually knows what he's doing gets stuck with less functionality. "If the average Internet tard doesn't use this feature, let's just drop it!" Thanks a lot.

    Just because the average fuckwad does something doesn't mean that's the way everybody wants to do it.

    Maybe if they stopped putting every single goddamn thing in the browser these days we wouldn't have quite so many security problems everywhere.
