  1. Re:Longhorn's target PC specs... on Longhorn Developers @ MSDN · · Score: 1
    "our API has completely done away with garbage collection. we just periodically reboot."

    Wasn't that a feature of Windows 95?

    ... a modest licensing fee of $699 a year.

    Shouldn't that be per crucifix, menorah, etc.?

  3. Re:Violates The Constitution?? on SCO Calls GPL Unenforceable, Void · · Score: 1
    I'd like to "violate" certain folks at SCO, I'm sure they'd love a little man-meat...

    If you're mad when you do it, it's not homosexual, right?

  4. Re:Somewhere in Washington.... on Land Warrior Army Suits Simplified, Linux-ized · · Score: 1

    I just might:

    SABOTEURS! SABOTEURS! SABOTEURS!

  5. ObFuturama on Microsoft Officially Shows Longhorn, WinFX · · Score: 3, Funny

    Did anyone else read that as "Microsoft Officially Shows Lowerhorn"?

  6. Re:Mod on Spam Rapidly Increasing In Weblog Comments · · Score: 2, Funny

    Trouble is, the advertizers will just rebrand themselves as "editors", and forge ahead anyway.

    Novimian!

  8. Re:Any screenshot mirrors? on More Looks At Far-Off 'Longhorn' · · Score: 1
    It's looking like crap at this stage. :-)

    No shit. Fucking pop-up windows.

  9. Re:FUD: /fuhd/, n. on SCO Asks IBM To Make SCO's Case For It · · Score: 1
    I wonder how many points you get for actually saying something informative?!

    Depending on your Karma posting bonus, you could get -1, -2 or -3 from the categories Troll, Flamebait or Overrated.

  10. Re:Welcome to Silicon Valley ! on Silicon Valley - The Geeks Are Back In Charge? · · Score: 1

    And I'd like to remind them, as a Slashdotter with a 5-digit ID, I'd be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their air-conditioned Foosball caves.

  11. Re:RESISTANCE IS FUTILE on Augmented Astronauts Needed for Deep Space Missions · · Score: 4, Funny

    Installing Windows in 15 minutes? You KNOW it's fake.

  12. Re:Referrer... on The Complete Far Side Archive · · Score: 3, Funny
    Shouldn't the editors have spotted this?

    Slashdot Editors are to editing as Microsoft is to innovation.

  13. Cheaper route on Reading, Writing, RFID · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't little blue numbers tattooed on the wrist be cheaper?

  14. Re:Nine weeks more work? That's good! on Take Back Your Time! · · Score: 2, Funny
    So Americans work nine more weeks than Europeans. America's also more successful than the EU and those who choose to work hard in America enjoy a higher standard of living.

    Damn straight! I'm $120,000 in debt right now. No way I could have that in the EU, it'd be 150,000+ pounds, or euros, or francs or some other such non-dollar amount. How the hell would I know what I'm not worth if the debt I'm drowning in is not measured in dollars?

  15. Re:Oh no, another childhood belief has been smashe on Writing in Space with a Cheap Ballpoint Pen · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't see too many people with a touch-screen and no keyboard on their desktop PC...

    Give it time. Some folks are down to one mouse button already. Can touchscreen-only PCs be far off?

  18. Re:Since you mentioned Novell.... on A Novell Linux Specialist? · · Score: 1
    Now, how do we assess the competency of the person that asked the question in the first place?

    • Underwear inside pants?
    • Deodorant?
    • Said deodorant applied to armpit skin rather than outside of clothing?
  19. Re:Ballmer, High Potentate of the Dancing Monkey C on Microsoft Raises Security Game, Notes Shortcomings Elsewhere · · Score: 1
    "Do you have any data to back up your claim of being more secure than Linux?" asked Asian reporter Trish Takinawa of Channel 104 Public Access in Parumph, Nevada.

    Actually, she goes by "Trisha", and she is based in Quahog, Rhode Island.

  24. Re:Speaking of dying technologies.. on Top 5 Submerging Technologies Pinpointed · · Score: 1
    I think they need to include the computerworld.com webserver on the list

    Maybe they're practicing what they preach. The Client/Server model is dying, to be replaced be the Web Browser Client. Therefore, it follows that the Web Servers must be turned off.

  25. Re:Another biased Slashdot article on Microsoft Behind SCO Cash Investment? · · Score: 1
    Was Slashdot just clamoring for more Microsoft flamebait?

    You must be new 'round these here parts.
