  1. Re:Am I the only one tired of this Sarkozy dude? on Civil Society Statement To the E-G8 and G8 · · Score: 1

    He's still 10 times less annoying than GWB, so cut him some slack.

  2. Does it still crash all the time? on Fedora 15 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I haven't used it since FC4, but back then it sucked big time (they even bundled a buggy gcc version; it was impossible to compile any version of the kernel with it; oh, and the gcc project didn't publish binary version; just imagine installing gcc from source :) ).
    The fact that KDE crashed 5 times as often that XP was just the tip of the iceberg. I it made me avoid Linux for a few years, and then tried Ubuntu, where my only gripe is ATI support, but it sucks for all distros.

  3. Re:Mayhem only begets mayhem on German Police Seize German Pirate Party Servers · · Score: 2

    " I don't see many modern activists with the same attitude. "

    Yeah, they all comment anonymous.

  4. Re:Questions answered in this thread... on A New Approach To Reducing Spam: Go After Credit Processors · · Score: 1

    "Myself is proper when you are both the subject and the object, as in "I did it myself.""

    It's not object there, it's emphasis on subject. (Therefore I think the whole thread is nitpicking, but I'm not a native speaker.)

  5. zombies on Implant Restores Paralyzed Man's Leg Movement · · Score: 1

    You mean it's not enough to shot zombies in the head?

  6. Re:ftp sends passwords in cleartext; sftp+denyhost on Ask Slashdot: FTP Server Honeypots? · · Score: 1

    What if someone starts to poison the shared blacklist DB?

  7. Re:Slavery on 8 of China's Top 9 Govt. Officials Are Engineers · · Score: 1

    Well, if I had to choose being an average guy in China or an average guy in Russia, I would choose Russia. At least Russia has the institutions of a democracy, however corrupted.

  8. Re:That's some fine police work, boys on PSN Up, And Then Down Again · · Score: 1

    Recursive joke is recursive.

  9. Re:your own bubble on The Rise of Filter Bubbles · · Score: 1

    You lived in the bubble that thinks people are rational.

  10. Re:Horrible Horrible Idea on The Challenges of Tapping Blood Flow For Power · · Score: 1

    +1
    Wish I had modpoints.

  11. Re:... is for porn on Syrians Using Donkeys Instead of DSL After Gov't Shuts Down Internet · · Score: 1

    Thank, you that was ... highly educational.

  12. I think the Onion pretty much nailed it on Japan Says No To PlayStation Network Restart · · Score: 1
  13. your own bubble on The Rise of Filter Bubbles · · Score: 1

    Or maybe you lived in your own bubble and ignored things that they did right. (I don't know, I'm not Canadian.)

  14. ... is for porn on Syrians Using Donkeys Instead of DSL After Gov't Shuts Down Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    If the internet is for porn, I don't even dare to think about what happened to these poor animals.

  15. Re:Complexity kills reliability on Ubuntu Switches To OpenStack For Cloud · · Score: 1

    It's buggy for sure.

  16. but u dont get prosecuted on Canadian Music Industry Seeks Copy Tax On Memory Cards · · Score: 1

    Although, I don't remember torrent trackers ever going down. (I'm not so sure of this. Usually police targets pay for FTP servers.)
    And users never get sued.

  17. HDDs on Canadian Music Industry Seeks Copy Tax On Memory Cards · · Score: 1

    Do they levy HDDs?

  18. Americans on US Navy Creates MMO To Fight Somali Pirates · · Score: 1

    " undisciplined, ungovernable people on their hands, who they are attempting to govern"

    "didn't understand government, and wanted nothing to do with it"

    " The Brits left in disgust, and things are basically unchanged since then."

    Sounds like Americans.

  19. Invade Iceland on US Navy Creates MMO To Fight Somali Pirates · · Score: 1

    Invade Iceland for operating pirate training camps (and for crimes against good taste)!

  20. Holy Scott! on Japanese Researchers Test Flying Trains · · Score: 1

    It's not a trainrobbery, it's a scientific experiment.

  21. spaceship on Japanese Researchers Test Flying Trains · · Score: 2

    " do they also have ... Space Boats?"

    They have spaceships so I guess, yes.

  22. Re:Learn VBScript on Ask Slashdot: Moving From *nix To Windows Automation? · · Score: 1

    "BASH is basically turing complete."
    So is Brainfuck and Whitespace.

  23. Re:Robots Randroids? on Robots 'Evolve' Altruism · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points.
    Yeah, Randroids haven't grasped the tragedy of the commons situation (in that situation selfishness without trust brings the tragedy).

  24. Your princess on Osama's Hideout Gets 3 Out of 5 Stars on Google Maps · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your princess is in another cave.

  25. ragtag Java on Attachmate Fires Mono Developers · · Score: 1

    Well, that's more of a problem for .Net than Java, because Java was always uptodate on Linux as well, as it's Linux version was always maintained by the core develpers, not 3rd parties. (And they can't charge for that as it's GPLed.) Considering that SUN/Oracle is more intrested in the success of Linux than Microsoft, my vote is on Java. Also when I tried Redhat's IceTea, it worked seamlessly. (Of course they have it easier as they don't have to invent everything once again, as the can access the GPLed sources.)
