  1. Re:It should be illegal..... on 24-Year-Old Asks Facebook For His Data, Gets 1,200 PDFs · · Score: 0

    Then people will just complain that they accidently deleted something and they can't get it back.

  2. Oh no, Wikipedia will be shut down. on Wikipedia Debates Strike Over SOPA · · Score: 1

    Now what site will I go to that's populized by elitist idiots arguing about stupid blog stories on the Internet?

    Seriously, I think that Jimbo Wales is approaching Julian Assange levels of arrogance by overestimating his self-worth.

    He should just stick to begging for money rather then talking about stupid political things.

  3. Re:Uh... on Goodbye Textbooks, Hello iPad · · Score: -1

    Or it could just be that the iPad is the most popular tablet, for good reason.

  4. So much for don't be evil, huh? on Will Firefox Lose Google Funding? · · Score: 0

    Support other browsers until you put out your own and then crush the competition.

    Chrome isn't even a decent browser.

  5. Anything to get his mug on television, eh? on Assange Wins Right To Submit Appeal · · Score: 1

    Why do we still care what this egomaniacal idiot does?

  6. So Congress did absolutely nothing.. on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 1

    ..and you're SURPRISED by this? >_>

  7. Huh. on Bipartisan Internet Sales Tax Bill Introduced · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize that the Internet was owned by the United States or that they had any right to legislate on it.

    How about some JOBS?

  8. I guess the old saying is true: on Apple Faces Temporary iPhone, iPad Ban In Germany · · Score: 0

    "If you can't beat 'em, sue 'em." Thanks for being frivolous, Motorola.

  9. Re:Why? on Siri Gives Apple Two Year Advantage Over Android · · Score: 2

    Wait, what? Talking to your phone makes you look stupid? The whole point of a phone is to talk to it. I have used it quite often, actually. Aside from the fact that I can get things done (or control my phone) just by speaking if I'm in my car or someplace it's also nice to have the ability to use voice input in place of the keyboard in nearly any app I come across.

  10. Good on Julian Assange Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 1

    My care meter for Assange is at a record low. He's a smug, arrogant fool who needs to just go away.

  11. Back to IE fragmenting? on Antitrust Case Over, Microsoft Ties IE 10 To Win 8 · · Score: 0

    So now, again, we'll have to support IE 8 and below for those that aren't on Windows 7, IE 9 for those on Windows 7, and IE 10 for Windows 8? Why is there even a browser SO dependant on the Operating System, any way, that you NEED to be on one specific version just to use it any way?

  12. Good riddence. on Wikileaks Suspends Publishing Of Cables Due To "Financial Blockade" · · Score: 0

    Julian Assange is a delusional egomaniac any way.

  13. Gary Busey? on Microsoft Patenting Celebrity-Shaped Bing'ing · · Score: 0

    I can't wait until the Busey version of Bing comes out.

  14. Re:Will it take over your system? on Google Working To Launch Music Store Soon · · Score: 1

    Because it's not terrible. People are just, once again, using rhetoric with irrational hatred of a product.

    iTunes is fine.

  15. What does this have to do with "News for Nerds"? on Occupy Wall Street Protests Go Global · · Score: 2

    This isn't a political blog this is a technology blog - can we focus on that?

  16. Why is Slashdot spending time on politics? on U.S. Senator Wyden Raises Constitutional Questions About ACTA · · Score: -1

    Who cares - some stupid old guy did something a political guy didn't like and now they'll spend three years arguing over it.

    Why waste time discussing politics? :\

  17. The best part about the protests? on Ask Slashdot: How Do You View the Wall Street Protests? · · Score: 0

    I'm sure half of the people involved will still vote for President Obama in 2012 (I'm neither for Obama or whoever the Republican is).

    The whole notion of getting worked up over politics is silly - why bother, nothing will ever change. Why not spend your life doing something fun rather then worry about something that just involves two sides arguing back and forth while nothing gets done.

    I voted for the first time in 2008 and look what it did - nothing. Yeah, I don't think I'll be wasting my time again next time. :|

  18. Not news for nerds, really. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You View the Wall Street Protests? · · Score: 0

    I'm just embarrassed that everyone else will see those people in the protests and think that they represent the majority of America. They just look like goofballs, the people that sit around and hold up signs. I wish people would just stop paying attention to them - like with the Fred Phelps clan. Attention is what they want.

  19. Too bad the US one can't follow. on Italian Wikipedia May Shut Down Due To New Legislation · · Score: 0

    Where will the stuck up, elitist Wikipedia contributors go now to have their false sense of superiority now?

  20. What for? on Privacy Groups Ask FTC For Facebook Investigation · · Score: 0

    Why don't people just learn how to, you know, use the PRIVACY SETTINGS ALREADY IN PLACE instead of complaining to the government about a percieved privacy "issue"?

  21. Re:Chrome on Chrome Set To Take No. 2 Spot From Firefox · · Score: 0

    Not sure what add-ons you're running, but the major ones I use on a daily basis (Firebug, Adblock, Web Developer, etc) are all compatable up to version 9.

  22. Re:Chrome on Chrome Set To Take No. 2 Spot From Firefox · · Score: 0

    I've gone through 3 versions of Firefox and not once had any expansions broken.

    Besides, it's not Mozilla's responsibility to keep add-ons up-to-date - blame the developers for that.

    Personally, I can't stand Chrome - it's too IEish for my tastes. I tend to go back and forth between Safari and Firefox.

  23. So much for "don't be evil". on Google Accused of "Cooking" Search Results and Charging MSFT Too Much · · Score: 0

    Business as usual at Google.

  24. I didn't think they could find anything worse then on Ballmer Hints At 'Metro-ization' of Office · · Score: 0

    The Ribbons but, I see, that they did. I think we can safely say that Windows 8 is the new Windows ME.

  25. Re:1000 good titles lost... on Netflix To Lose 1 Million Subscribers · · Score: 0

    Because it's fun to have to wait two days while you illegally download a movie at questionable speeds?
