  1. Re:Typical biased Slashdotter numbers on Local Root Exploit in Linux 2.4 and 2.6 · · Score: 1

    And now it's not. But it's definitely not the official opinion of /., and it's definitely not the most popular opinion in this discussion.

    You misunderstand my point. The dude is carping that great-grandparent is posting bad numbers (agreed) and that this is reflective of a pervasive bias on /.

    But the dude is languishing at +2, while all the highly modded comments are totally reasonable. So right now, the story that /. is telling is COMPLETELY FINE. His carp is full of shit.

    Typical biased Slashdotter numbers

    Whatever. You need to browse at a higher threshold. The +3 comments are all totally reasonable.

  5. Re:But will it translate into a worthwhile product on eGenesis to Develop New MMO with Orson Scott Card · · Score: 1

    I loved Orson Scott Card's writing when I was 12. By the time I was 15, I was a little less into it, and discovered that he is a Mormon and shoehorns his idiotic little belief structure into his novels. At some point he said something like "This story is an allegory about self destructive people like drug addicts and homosexuals."

    I thought... wait... wasn't a homosexual a totally essential character in the "Call of Earth" series? Oh. Yeah. He was a hero because he decided to do the right thing and have sex with women.

    Orson Scott Card is a sick little fuck. I realize that my new knowledge of the author is obviously coloring my opinion of his writing, but it all turned to ashes in my mouth. As far as I can tell, his writing is complete crap.

    There will never be peace between people who have been warring for thousands of years.

    That's factually incorrect. The Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived together relatively peacefully for several hundred years in Jerusalem under the Ottoman empire. Up right until WWI.

    Idiots like you believe bullshit like that because idiots like you keep fucking repeating it. Shut up.

    Are you an atheist or an agnostic when it comes to the belief in flying purple elephants?

  10. Re:I believe on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    You're just agnostic.

    Says you. Other people say that agnostic means you believe in a God but do claim to know anything about Him.

    I say that I am without a belief in God, and thus a-theist. Most other atheists have the same lack of belief that I do. So when you say atheists believe in the religion of no God, you are full of shit.

    Since HP also sells self-branded iPods, it would be great if they'd make such a box iPod friendly.

    I thought they sold Apple branded iPods. It's through HP's channel. I guess it is listed on PCConnection as the "HP iPod", but it's still got a big apple sandblasted onto the back. They never made that HP-blue iPod all the rumor sites were blathering about.

    After being taken to an FBI office and given a lie-detector test, Banach said he had hit the jet with the beam, court documents say.

    During questioning by the FBI, Banach showed an agent his laser. After the agent switched it on, Banach warned him "not to shine the laser in his eyes because it could blind him," the court documents say.
