  1. Support on Ask Slashdot: Why Not Linux For Security? · · Score: 1

    This is why enterprise is gay for RHEL & not CentOS or Fedora.

  2. How, um, new, & revolutionary, but... on Axis, Yahoo's New Browser · · Score: 1

    ...This isn't 2008. Seriously it's like Yahoo! is constantly on a 5-year delay with half of this crap...ever use Yahoo! Groups? It's worse than dialing into your local BBS...

  3. No wrongful death? on Rutger's Student Dharun Ravi Sentenced To 30-Day Jail Time · · Score: 0

    How the hell does that even work?

  4. Half a mill? Really? on California Considers DNA Privacy Law · · Score: 2

    Seriously that's like chump change to the UC system...

  5. Not that bad... on MS Will Remove OEM 'Crapware' For $99 · · Score: 1

    I mean, I charge $50 for that service-- $100 if it's bad enough to consider in a repair (= reinstall), & considering how much microsoft overcharges the general population ($120 for home premium!? Frys has OEM copies for $90!) it's actually not THAT bad...

  6. You didn't read the fine print? on Ask Slashdot: Holding ISPs Accountable For Contracted DSL Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    Why do you think they put an asterisk by the speed ratings? Anyways, satellite internet is probably your best option.

  7. Why don't you have a seat on Canada's Internet Surveillance Bill: Not Dead After All · · Score: 1

    What's this bill doing here? Do you really think it's appropriate to bring this kind of legislation to a constitutional monarchy?

  8. It's okay guys on Ridley Scott Loves Hugh Howey's Wool · · Score: 1

    They won't be millionaires Paramount said so.

  9. Stop looking at my house! on Unblocking The Pirate Bay the Hard Way Is Fun · · Score: 2

    I swear you guys if you keep looking at unauthorized content like my malibu mansion through every satellite-view website like Google(TM) Maps(R) & MapQuest(TM) I fucking swear to god...

  10. Previously on Star Trek: The Next Generation on Neal Stephenson Takes Blame For Innovation Failure · · Score: 1

    BAARGH I HATE THE FUTURE! *future* This place is fucking AWESOME!

  11. Hurr derp derp derp on Open Source Electric Cars — Good Idea Or Not? · · Score: 1

    As long as your brakes work (regenerative brakes usually have pads as secondary) i think it'd be more dangerous mapping an existing gasoline engine too lean & blowing it up, or perhaps a diesel too rich causing it to surge, than simply over/undervolting an electric motor that's usually directly connected to the differential.

  12. I havent tuned into Voice of Korea recently on North Korea Shows Off Space Center and Launches Missile · · Score: 1

    Do they have a Song of General Kim-Jong Un yet? Damn they used to send me copies of The Pyongyang Times (probably put me on some sort of list here in the US), but not recently...

  13. Why doesn't Woz ever lead the company on Woz Fears Stifling of Startups Due to Patent Wars · · Score: 1

    He's like the Porsche of Volkswagen. "You surly nazis have your car of immense engineering that'll hold the same basic design over the next 70 years & have at least 2 more generations of car based on it afterwards? Porsche out!"

  14. what-phone? on Giant Touchscreens Coming To NYC Phone Booths · · Score: 1

    You mean people pay to use a phone that's not theirs & also has bird flu & bum pee on it?

  15. No 6502? on CPU DB: Looking At 40 Years of Processor Improvements · · Score: 1

    What the fuck are they smoking!?

  16. No. on MPAA Chief Dodd Hints At Talks To Revive SOPA · · Score: 1

    Just no.

  17. Isn't this a gene / natural-law patent? on The Supreme Court To Rule On Monsanto Seed Patents · · Score: 1

    I thought we just invalidated those...

  18. What the hell man on Viewfinity CEO Says Many Computer Users Are Overprivileged (Video) · · Score: 2

    We're supposed to pay for a product that effectively replaces sudo & user/group privelages?

  19. Reboot the universe on Ask Slashdot: How To Feed Africa? · · Score: 1

    Let's start out by making transportation non-retarded Survey all wasetwater plants for possible fuel sources, & take advantage of what shi tyou already have lying around like WVO. Then, once that shit is monetized you bring in the raw materiol needed to aerate the land while the farmers do their shit like that I'm sorry I'm on ambien right now & I was just about to go to sleep bye

  20. Re:I just wish... on Boston Pays Out $170,000 To Man Arrested For Recording Police · · Score: 0

    That's the point dude-- why rewrite the law in the inconveniently right favor when they can simply shut up anyone that makes too big of a fuss about it?

  21. Re:When will they rename on XBMC V11 Eden Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    THat doesn't change the fact that XMBC Media Center sounds retarded. I mean, with GNU you get a recursive acronym, with XKCD you get a blatantly random sequence of characters, but XMBC is like the dead fetus hanging off of a child, & to make shit weirder they include half of the acronym AFTER the acronym!

  22. When will they rename on XBMC V11 Eden Has Been Released · · Score: 0

    It's been years since the XBOX Media Center supported Xbox.

    if I could build one of these into my motorcycle helmet & have Google Nav on my face shield

  24. Hey everyone lets starve Indias economy! on Indian Government To Tax Angel Funding · · Score: 0

    We can start by implementing a 30% tax on business bootstrapping!

  25. A plus for lolicon on Canadian Charges Against US Manga Reader Dropped · · Score: 1

    Is that good for free speech or bad for...um...potential child rapees or something?
