  1. No, he shouldn't write songs as he is not qualified to do that either. He should buy an island and disappear.

  2. Re:Garbage Disposal on Australian Police Arrest 15, Charge 2, For Alleged Islamic State Beheading Plot · · Score: 1

    Sorry, no. Too easily abused. It is the sort of thing they did in the Soviet Union to quell dissent.

  3. Re:football can cause brain damage on Microsoft Paid NFL $400 Million To Use Surface, But Announcers Call Them iPads · · Score: 1

    I know the word 'cellophane' but I haven't heard anyone use it for years.

  4. Just a bunch of talentless cunts on Say Goodbye To That Unwanted U2 Album · · Score: 1, Informative

    U2 are. Just saying.

  5. Re:Not all contributions / sacrifice are equivalen on Publishers Gave Away 123 Million Books During World War Two · · Score: 1

    Misunderestimate? George W. Bush wants his word back.

  6. Shergar on Who Is Buried In the Largest Tomb Ever Found In Northern Greece? · · Score: 1

    Wonder if anyone will get this. Or how about Lord Lucan?

    I call band-aids 'plasters' actually. Clearly I am not 'everyone'. Who ever says Cellophane? Are you thinking of 'Saran Wrap' which I call 'cling film'? Hoover works for me though.

    As a professional who edits images and does layout every working day, I have to point out that (in my opinion) small screen devices of any sort are pretty much useless. Any time I have to work on a laptop, I'm drastically slowed down because of the lack of real estate. Last resort only. Cropping images is trivial and a lame endorsement for any small screen device.

    But AppleWatch might be conflated with the record label of that shite English band, the Beagles.

  10. My vice grips is not a vice grips. Good point.

  11. They're sure they put their iPads there on the table. Can you see the difference?

  12. Re:Well now. on Top EU Court: Libraries Can Digitize Books Without Publishers' Permission · · Score: 0

    Don't be so cowardly about using a dictionary in future please. Your hopeless attempt at spelling renaissance is not even phonetically remotely like the actual word.

  13. Pirst Fost on AT&T Says 10Mbps Is Too Fast For "Broadband," 4Mbps Is Enough · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    maybe

  14. Re:WWBHD? on Book Review: Architecting the Cloud · · Score: 1

    whoosh

  15. Never a credible news source, so nothing surprising in this. But this reporter clearly has no integrity whatsoever.

  16. Re:meh, public domain. on Microsoft Takes Down Slideshow-Building Tool After Getty Images Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Well, you're completely wrong. I would like everything to be free too, but it isn't going to happen any time soon.

  17. Re:A watch? on Moto 360 Reviews Arrive · · Score: 1

    My point was that I wouldn't.

  18. Re:A watch? on Moto 360 Reviews Arrive · · Score: 1

    I suspect that the use of bluetooth headsets was a deliberate attempt by users to look like douchebags. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

  19. Re:Le sigh.... on Scientists Sequence Coffee Genome, Ponder Genetic Modification · · Score: 1

    If memory serves me correctly, there are very few poisonous mushrooms, so the likelihood of being poisoned to death by eating the wrong kind is pretty slim. And I'd much rather a nice big feed of wild mushrooms than the flavourless shite they sell at the supermarket.

  20. Re:No more GMOs! on Scientists Sequence Coffee Genome, Ponder Genetic Modification · · Score: 1

    I am a cubicle drone. Where do I fit in?

  21. A watch? on Moto 360 Reviews Arrive · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or are these things redundant? Why would I want my wrist encumbered with anything, let alone a watch? Wherefore art thou oh smart ring?

  22. Re:Yet another attack on Anonymity on Why Women Have No Time For Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Actually it hurt my eyes. All of that bold type and close line spacing makes it unreadable.

  23. I don't on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 1

    watch films/listen to music/appreciate art/play sports (etc.) what are the best of these in their genre? Let's expand it to include life the universe and everything. Just tell me what's the bestest shit ever.

  24. Re:Seems good to me. on The American Workday, By Profession · · Score: 1

    If that qualifies as great then I'm breathless in anticipation of your definition of freakin' awesome.

  25. Re:13 year old on 13-Year-Old Finds Fungus Deadly To AIDS Patients Growing On Trees · · Score: 1

    So the trees are deadly, not the fungus? Hmm...interesting twist to the story. Why not: aids patients find deadly trees growing on 13-year-old. That would be something of a scientic marvel.
