  1. Re:This is (sort of) good news for Americans on Russia Seeking To Ban Tor, VPNs and Other Anonymizing Tools · · Score: 1

    What? British Columbia? I don't remember that.

  2. Re:Please take your ignorant attitude somewhere el on Paramedics Use Google Translate While Delivering Baby · · Score: 1

    You were doing OK there until you typed 'they're'. Next!

  3. Re:Please take your ignorant attitude somewhere el on Paramedics Use Google Translate While Delivering Baby · · Score: 1

    The new mother should really learn Irish as it is the official national language!

    Gates is only doing this in case he contracts malaria!

  5. Re:Plural of LEGO is NOT LEGOs! on LEGO Contraption Allows Scientists To Safely Handle Insects · · Score: 1

    I am going to say 'may I please have all of the red logo". It doesn't hurt to be polite and correct at the same time.

  6. Re:Lego does not need our help with their trademar on LEGO Contraption Allows Scientists To Safely Handle Insects · · Score: 1

    So, why then do you buy Lego? Or to you just liberate it (steal) from the evil megacorp?

  7. Re:They are called LEGO not LEGOs. on LEGO Contraption Allows Scientists To Safely Handle Insects · · Score: 1

    But it is not fine. Not all languages pluralize using an 's'. Think about it.

  8. Re:Subjects Are Stupid on LEGO Contraption Allows Scientists To Safely Handle Insects · · Score: 1

    Thank you anonymous 'that guy' coward. You saved me the trouble.

  9. Re:What about the banks? on With Insider Help, ID Theft Ring Stole $700,000 In Apple Gift Cards · · Score: 1

    Correct. It is information sharing and identity sharing. Sharing is good, afterall, nowadays we live in a sharing economy! Be kind. Share.

  10. Clippy? on The Poem That Passed the Turing Test · · Score: 1

    Didn't Clippy pass the Turing test years ago? I was convinced for a really long time that Clippy was a real person just trying to help me out. How crestfallen I was to learn the truth.

  11. Really? Poetry? on The Poem That Passed the Turing Test · · Score: 1

    This seems to have more in common with fridge magnet 'poetry' or Mad Libs than the process of composing real poetry.

  12. Re:Honestly on The Poem That Passed the Turing Test · · Score: 1

    Hey, watch your language!

  13. Re:slashdot? on Twitter CEO: "We Suck" At Dealing With Trolls, Vows To Kick Them Out · · Score: 2

    I think you mean 'frequent submitter'. Please use the correct terminology!

  14. Re:"Energy Balance" an overly simplistic view on Science's Biggest Failure: Everything About Diet and Fitness · · Score: 1

    Me too.

  15. Re: Yay for "zero tolerance" on Texas Boy Suspended For "Threatening" Classmate With the One Ring · · Score: 1

    'A Modest Proposal' perhaps?

  16. Re:Genesis on Syrian Social Hack Co-Opts Fighter's Computers · · Score: 1

    Since, oh...6,000 years ago?

  17. Re:Kind of makes sense, really .... on UK Broadcaster Sky To Launch Mobile Service · · Score: 1

    Why would you need customer service if the product was being provided as agreed when you signed up?

  18. Re:sound like a great middleman on UK Broadcaster Sky To Launch Mobile Service · · Score: 1

    In the US I use Virgin Mobile. Their plan suits me fine and is cheaper than a similar plant from Sprint. $30 as opposed to $50 something. The weird thing? Virgin uses Sprint's network. I don't know how this makes sense, but it works for me.

  19. Re:"loses ON piracy" - LOL. American idiot. on The American App Economy Is Now "Bigger Than Hollywood" · · Score: 2

    You are correct. Their word for everything is 'tout'

  20. Re:Lift? on NASA Considers Autonomous Martian Helicopter To Augment Future Rovers · · Score: 1

    I like the penny-farthing bicycle detail. Very cyberpunk.

  21. Re:The Bell Telephone: Patent Nonsense? on A Call That Made History, 100 Years Ago Today · · Score: 1

    But who won the gold star for most awesome art project?

  22. Re: That's a nice democracy you have there... on Omand Warns of "Ethically Worse" Spying If Unbreakable Encryption Is Allowed · · Score: 2

    A castrate ram at that. Seems even more inadvertently appropriate.

  23. Re:Obligatory Onion link on Radio Shack Reported To Be Ready for Bankruptcy Filing · · Score: 1

    I just tell them and anyone else that asks that I don't give out that information. That response is generally accepted without question. Still it is obnoxious to be asked.

  24. Re:Bar fucking barians ... on In Paris, Terrorists Kill 2 More, Take At Least 7 Hostages · · Score: 1

    It is the same non-existant deity that Jews and Christians believe in.

  25. Re:Besides the blantant bloodshed... on In Paris, Terrorists Kill 2 More, Take At Least 7 Hostages · · Score: 1

    But they have freedom fries!
