  1. Has previously? on Apple Remove Samba From OS X 10.7 Because of GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    What the hell is 'has previously'?

  2. Re:AC? on University Switches To DC Workstations · · Score: 1

    I really don't think they should be using their computers in the bath regardless of whether they are powered by AC or DC. It's just not safe!

  3. Re:That's almost twice as much as 26%! on NASA Satellite Snaps Rare Cloud-Free Ireland · · Score: 1

    and it really does. I know from 25 years of experience!

  4. Re:Looking at the frets? on Ubisoft Announces Music Game For Real Guitars · · Score: 1

    Why 'ideally'?

  5. Re:Looking at the frets? on Ubisoft Announces Music Game For Real Guitars · · Score: 1

    Good point! I have a guitar (home made!) on which the dots have become invisible (white wood discoloured) and because it has a short scale length I'm constantantly moving to the wrong fret unless I really look closely at which fret I should be moving to. I need to do a bit of work on it so that I can make the dots visible again. I've been playing 25 years and I have noproblem saying that I still need those dots and I still look at the frets some of the time.

  6. Re:Looking at the frets? on Ubisoft Announces Music Game For Real Guitars · · Score: 1

    I've been playing guitar 25 years and I look at the frets - not all the time, but some of the time. I don't see how it is a bad habit. If you play different guitars with different scale lengths + bass then I think you'll concede that it is entirely necessary to look at the frets to ensure that your fingers go to the desired positions.

  7. Re:Profit? on Paramount Pictures To Release Film On Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    That would not be clever at all.

  8. Re:Lets face it on Potentially Great Sci-fi Films Still Due In 2011 · · Score: 1

    Not a ghetto blaster. I think you are thinking of Soundwave who was a walkman. Blaster was the ghettoblaster and a much less intricate toy.

  9. Re:Lets face it on Potentially Great Sci-fi Films Still Due In 2011 · · Score: 1

    Use of Weapons is my current Banks favourite and would work as a film, I think.

  10. Re:Engrish on The Quake Through Eyes of Slashdot Japan · · Score: 1, Funny

    No! what he meant to say was they're English sucks. Jeez. Some people.

  11. Re:What is with the obsession? on Microsoft Reportedly Ends Zune Hardware Development · · Score: 1

    There is no such word as fecalphile. The word you are looking for is coprophile.

  12. Re:What is with the obsession? on Microsoft Reportedly Ends Zune Hardware Development · · Score: 1

    Actually, Ubuntu did look like 'poop'!

  13. Re:91% on IE9 Released, Media Has Opinions · · Score: 1

    Happily! Ha, ha, ha!

  14. Re:The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    Actually, no it tastes quite different in different parts of the world. The best Guiness is found close to the James St. Brewery.

  15. Re:The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    That is a really idiotic comment. I really don't even know what you are trying to express!

  16. Re:The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    You must be from Cork. Bulmers is for children. What is greese?

  17. Side effects include on Brazilian Spider Bite May Become the Next Viagra · · Score: 1

    dizziness, temporary blindness, hallucinations, nausea, paralysis, vomiting, diarrhea (!)

  18. Wrong! on King Wants To Sell Out Ham Radio · · Score: 2

    whatever it is King is proposing, it is wrong. He is just wrong about everything. Oppose him at all costs. Seriously.

  19. Kidneyless? on Kidney Printer · · Score: 1

    Some time in the future, will we be striving for the kidneyless office and be content with viewing virtual kidneys on our monitors? After all, real kidneys are wasteful and harmful to the planet. Aren't they?

  20. Re:No rule of law in America on Army Psy Ops Units Targeted American Senators · · Score: 1

    Pogues? What do you think this word means?

  21. Re:Modern browser on retro OS? on Retro Browser War: IE6 Vs. Netscape In 2011 · · Score: 1

    thanks for the tip about Classilla. I might just try it out for laughs.

  22. Re:Amazing the illiterate natives on Would the Developing World Use E-Readers More Than Laptops? · · Score: 1

    You sir are an ass.

  23. Re:Screws up transatlantic business on UK Government Wants to Spring Ahead Two Hours · · Score: 1

    Surely they would be shouting, not yelling. American children yell. No other shildren in the world do this.

  24. Re:1940 on UK Government Wants to Spring Ahead Two Hours · · Score: 1

    Uh, why not just change the work hours?

  25. Re:Amazing the illiterate natives on Would the Developing World Use E-Readers More Than Laptops? · · Score: 1

    I don't think if you can really call it racism. I think is is more a case of bourgeouis culturally insensitive clodism. The accusation of racism gets thrown around too much. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with 'white' people or any other color of people.
