  1. Re:Finally.... on New Hitchhiker's Guide Radio Series Announced · · Score: 1

    Most evenings of the week I look forward to listening to Radio3 , expecially Late Junction and Andy Kershaw's world music show.

    On TV I look forward to live football especially when the toon (Newcastle United) are playing, "Taggart" and "Have I got News for You"

  2. Anal fantatsis again! on Microsoft Offers A Bounty On Virus Writers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    (sigh) Here we go again. You weenies really seem to get a hard on about anal rape. Everytime someone mentions crime and/or punishment someone's sure to make some remark like the crap above.

    Is it because your not getting enough yourself?

  3. Moron yourself ! on Guy Fawkes' Explosion Would Have Devasted London · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How it would have effected the Pilgrims sailing from Plymouth, given that Plymouth is a couple of hundred miles from London (I don't know how far exactly I'm a Northerner) is debatable. However if the Pilgrims hadn't sailed it would have meant that Amercicans would have had to make up some other myths about the founding of their country.

  4. Re:since so many are passionate about this on Students, ISP Sue Diebold · · Score: 1

    Because the alternative exists already. It's called ballot papers

  5. Re:Reminds me of a poem on Symantec Says No To Pro-Gun Sites · · Score: 1

    Hitler was not a socialist. When will you thicko amercans ever get that through your under-educated heads

  6. Re:one quote... on Yet Another Big Solar Flare · · Score: 1

    Consider the following:

    How long has this guy been a Solar Physicist ?

    How long has the Sun been around ?

    I think the sun can handle a couple of statistical anomalies that this guy hasn't seen in his lifetime before it starts to get worried.

  7. Re:Here's on Microsoft Audits UK Council To Prove Cost Effectiveness · · Score: 1

    If it isn't anti-competition I don't know what is

    You only prove that you don't know a lot about local government finances in particular, and much at all about business in general, if you consider that the purchase price is the ony thing that you need to consider when deciding on corporate purchases.

    Anto-competitive my arse.

  8. I didn't vote for ESR on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 1
    From ESR's page:
    How can I use it? The glider is not copyrighted or trademarked. The recommended way to use it is on a web page, with an image and a link back to either this page or direct to How To Become A Hacker. Here is a snippet of XHTML you can paste into a page.
    So let me get this straight. ESR wants us to use this logo and have a link pointing back to his web page.

    I leave conclusions to be drawn from this as an exercise for the reader
  9. Re:They don't need this competition. on SuSE Going For Red Hat's Market · · Score: 1

    You mean like, form a cartel, the bastard cousin of a monopoly.

    Or do you mean a strategic alliance ? I'm sure Suse is hot for one of those, after their experience with United Linux together with ...er... SCO

  10. Re:Those Aussies love their outlaws on Tridgell and Samba Recognized · · Score: 1

    Some tranportees were early trade unionists and socialists. Some of our American friends might find that that indicates a string criminal disposition :-)

  11. Re:Step one... on EU Publishes Open Source Migration Guidelines · · Score: 1

    Yet again the Slashdot adolescents exhibit a predilection writing about having objects or penises inserted or removed from their own or someone elses anuses at any available opportunity.

    The fact that it is moderated as +5 funny says a lot about the average Slashdot reader and probably also explains why virutally no-one with anything interesting to say bothers posting here anymore. Except me, of course :-)

  12. Re:Secret is stupid on PHBs Getting "Secret" IT Training · · Score: 1

    Shame at your own ignorance is the very thing that keeps illiterate people from getting help reading and guys from asking for directions

    Just hold on a minute there! Guys do ask for directions, it's just that they don't do it when there are women in the car and they never ask women for directions. Therefore women have perpetrated the myth of the non-direction asking male because of this.

  13. Re:Speakers Corner on 'Winston Smith' Speaks Out On MS Reader Convertor · · Score: 1

    Due to ancient laws of the land, there is one place in the whole of the UK where you cannot be sued or prosecuted for any spoken word.

    I think that you're getting confused with the House of Commons and then only when you're a member.

    You stand up on Speakers Corner and slander someone who does give a toss, you'll be getting a writ from his/her lawyers.

  14. Re:What I'm looking forward to... on Red Hat Cornering SCO in Delaware · · Score: 1

    Actually it's "Total World Domination" and I've still got the Think-Geek t-shirt to prove it :-)

  15. Re:What the fuck is wrong with you on Disgruntled Fan Arrested, Indicted For Spam Attacks · · Score: 1

    Just accept that this is the average adolescent Slashdot readers way of getting a hard-on.

  16. Re:Units? on 2.6 Ton Pinball Machine · · Score: 1

    I thought that the standard unit of weight on Slahdot was now the raincloud ?

  17. Re:Heh... on Ford To Move To Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Due to your geography knowledge I'd hazard a guess that you are American, right? Now go ask Garrison Keillor were the Fjords are

  18. Re:Think about the probelms on The Economist on Open Source in Government · · Score: 1

    I think you missed "islamic" out of your selection of labels. I know it's really quite relaxing to switch your brain off sometimes, this is Slashdot after all, but it's not Sunday yet.

  19. Re:UK Laws come from the EU on UK RIP Bill Reintroduced · · Score: 1

    What has the RIPA got to do with the EU. It's all Blunkett's own work and he can't try to blame someone else. BTW In case you haven't read any history, hanging was abolished in the UK long before it was an EU member.

    You're obviously so angry that you've forgotten to switch your brain in and are ranting like a Daily Mail "journalist"

  20. Orwellian and Big Brother on Cybersyn And Early Uniminds · · Score: 1

    It's quite obvious that the majority of people on Slashdot who describe things as "Orwellian" and/or "Big Brother"-like have either not read 1984 or not really understood it. In 1984 the whole population were not spied upon by the view screens, it was only party members. The proles were kept quiet by other methods such as manufactured pop-tunes, made-up news stories, cheap beer etc etc.

    Apart from the fact that 1984 was never meant to be a prediction of the future, but a combination of a satire on the world in 1948 and the BBC (at almost any time) only the part about prole control has come true, and that wasn't really that hard to predict in 1948.

  21. Re:Thank you - If I had mod points, you == +1 on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 1

    Bzzt! Wrong on all three counts I'm a middle aged, right wing, father of children who smacks then when they break a rule for which the punishment is smacking.

    You style of argument and inability or unwillingness to spell fuck correctly tells me more about you that you can hope to guess about me.

  22. Re:Help fix the problem! on Electronic Voting: Your Worst Nightmares are True · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it's all lot's of fun for you and you're pals but can you tell me again why we should need an electronic viting system ?

  23. British Units ??? on How Much Does A Cloud Weigh? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Has anyone converted these figures into units we Brits can understand. Normally area here is expressed as multiples of the area of Wales (Jack Straw, the foreign secretary, uses this a lot). For smaller areas we use the Football (Soccer) pitch. Volume is a bit trickier as there is not a fixed unit but the volume of something is described by how many of the relevant objects would be needed to fill the Albert Hall. As for weight we need it as multiples of the England Pack (That's the eight guys in the scrum for you non-rugby players). So come on british mathematicians, your country needs you. How many England Packs does a typical raincloud over Lords Cricket Ground weigh, how many of them would be need to fill the Albert Hall and what fraction of the area of Wales would it cover ?

  24. Re:Group photo. on KDE Contributor Conference 2003 "Kastle" Report · · Score: 1

    With a name like Oswald I reckon a man is a good guess :-) Even given the fact that some german names are very different than english one and quite hard for a non-german speaker to guess the sex of.

    How about Wiebke or Swantje anyone ? Any guesses

  25. Re:Whats This About My Rights Online?? on Protests Delay European Software Patent Vote · · Score: 1

    Hey big boy, what's wrong with cheese? Sorry I'd forgotten that you never get to taste any real cheese. Monterey Jack? more like Jack-off. Give me a bit of Mature Blue Stilton or a proper Farmhouse cheddar, with RIND. The cheeses that built the greatest empire that the world has ever seen.

    BTW and don't call us Pansy Ass Euro socialists or we'll send you Tony Blair...permanently
