  1. In related news.... on Track a Soda Can with GPS? · · Score: 1

    The price of a can of Coke just went up to $7

  2. Re:Free Software Voting Machines on Free Software for Politics · · Score: 1

    There's a bill being floated that should solve the Diebold dilemma.

  3. Re:Impressive: on Free Software for Politics · · Score: 1

    The egos are too big. Both want the bigger slice of pie. This was actually floated by the Dean camp before Clark announced and it didn't fly very far with Clark.

  4. Re:Wait a sec.... on Free Software for Politics · · Score: 1

    It'll be interesting to see if any competing campaigns take it up and use it for their communities.

    Now that would be ironic.

  5. Re:Dibs on IETF Draft Sets up Public Namespaces · · Score: 1

    new tld: .xxx

  6. Re:What does this have to do with spam? on Building Better Spam · · Score: 1

    Actually, you're right on both. Spam should be thought of as a Venn diagram, with two circles:

    Annoying shit
    Stuff for sale

    There's some annoying shit out there for sale, and some is just scamming, like the Nigerian letters.

  7. Re:Why, yes, it IS an aluminum foil hat. on TIA Project to End · · Score: 1

    We have a whole new department to act as the Gestapo, it's called Home land Security.

  8. Re:ah ah ah! on KernelTrap Interview With Rusty Russell · · Score: 1

    If I knew this would digress into a grammar nazi circle-jerk, I wouldn't have bothered posting this.

    Mod away, I have enough karma.

  9. Re:ah ah ah! on KernelTrap Interview With Rusty Russell · · Score: 1

    You are all idiots; Saying metaphor is wrong when you mean simile.

    Jeez, it's like recursive madness when you read some of these grammar/spelling nazi posts.

  10. Re:Taxation is theft on Protests, Politics And Parties In MMORPGs · · Score: 1

    Mod this up.

  11. Thinking outside the box (U.S.) on Global Crossing (Nearly) Sold To Singapore · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I bet carnivore or whatever the hall it's called these days reared it's ugly head somewhere in this deal.

    Can't wiretap you country because it's unconstitutional or ISPs won't play? Let an overseas developer buy it in exchange for snooping access.

    Just a theory, nothing provable yet, but the deal sounds shady.

    Jayson Blair did't plaigarize, he made things up.

  13. Re:So...what so bad about it? on American Science: Addicted to Pentagon Cash? · · Score: 1

    It's relevant because it aids in proving we no longer have a representative republic.

  15. Re:obligatory mockery on The Innovators' Ball · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Geeks were easily corruptible, as with most people in this era of instant gratification.

    I would reccommend reading Dostoevsky's The Idiot for some enlightenment on how the world treats those who act morally and conscientiously in regards to life and business.

  16. Re:Online Myst? on Myst Online Trailer · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and you can buy property; But opening your front door takes 3 hours.

  17. Re:Why bother? on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 1

    Hannah Arendt was a fucking genius and dissected and defined totalitarianism better than anyone has been able since.

    It makes sense that she would oppose neo-cons.

  18. Re:Slashdot is a small portion of the public on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 1

    You have no idea how to do this do you?

    VO: This is Al Gore signing legislation ordering the national guard to execute loggers. Included in the order was the razing of suburbs so that elk and deer could move back. (picture of Gore signing with the bloody limb of a bourgeois child who was moments ago playing the harp)

  19. Re:Voting machine manufacturer wants votes for Bus on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 1

    Let's see, Republicans are in the majority in both Houses and also control the White House.

    Surely the Democrats have not reaped any benefits from this. Offhand speculation would obviously scrutinize the Republicans harder during such a period of political power, wouldn't you think?

  20. Re:Slashdot is a small portion of the public on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 2, Funny

    To understand this person's anger, you have to understand the Al Gore factor, it can be explained with these simple slides:

    *dims lights, turns on overhead projector*

    Voice-over: "This is a picture of Al Gore inventing the Internet (badly altered photo of Gore standing next to a VAX)."

    VO: This is a picture of Al Gore beating up the pope (bad cut and paste of Al's head on Muhammad Ali's body, hovering over the pope in a boxing ring).

    VO: This is a picture of Al Gore on vacation (picture of Cheney in women's lingerie, slapping his ass).

    VO: AHEM!
    *quickly pulls picture off projector*

    TVO: his is a picture of Al Gore (picture with hand-drawn horns and thin moustache).

    VO: In conclusion, Al Gore is the Devil. Vote Republican, unless you love Satan.

  21. Linux Certified on Finally A Major-Brand Desktop With Linux, Not Windows · · Score: 1

    Does this mean they're going to start calling it Linux 2004, etc?

    That's a catchy phrase. Linux 2004 (based on the latest stable kernel and packages of 2003).

    I'm surprised I beat the Onion on such an obvious parody. Meh.

    They're probably watching a handful of suspects and they're going to see if any of them run.
