  1. Whats more on Newly Spotted Comet May Shine Among Brightest In History · · Score: 4, Funny

    "What's more, 2012 S1 seems to be following the path of the Great Comet of 1680, considered one of the most spectacular ever seen from Earth."

    jeez, if your going to reference something in an article take 2 seconds to post a link

  2. ahh slackware... on Slackware 14.0 Arrives · · Score: 4, Interesting

    at one point I was left with a shitty old laptop, no cd drive, a hard disk with the slackware files on a dos partition, and a copy of "running linux". I learned a LOT over the next few weeks

    and would not want to do it again ... but totally suggest that anyone interested in linux does it at least once.

    yea I used to run 3 on 98 as well, my then brand new 21 inch LCD, and 2 15 inch crt's on either side ... I was into digital video editing at that point

    My 86 mac SE came had a external monitor port and a radius card installed when I rescued it from the recyclers, so yea, its been around on Mac's for a while

  7. Re:obligatory comments on GNOME 3.6 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Personally, I'm looking forward to checking out the new GNOME."

    I seriously have better things to do tonight than install a slightly less broken DM with better accessibility features touted as one of its two bragging points.

  8. Re:Amazing! on GNOME 3.6 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    they would not have that problem if they did not release a totally broken chunk of shit in the first place

    sorry I have more important things to do than pretend I am a professor of english on slashdot, grading peoples post to make me feel better

  12. Re:Sounds like old days in USA where workers faced on Riot Breaks Out At Foxconn · · Score: 2

    and why not? you can take a funcionally illiterate farmer into a g-code processor in a day and make them feel good about it

  13. Re:Sounds like old days in USA where workers faced on Riot Breaks Out At Foxconn · · Score: 2

    no, no they do not

    the chineese factories rely on on near slave labor, the US makers can do nearly the same cost per unit with high levels of automation

    robots do no rebel, no matter what jizztastic si-fi fan fict you read, and you dont have to stay up till 3 am to talk to some low level dumbass who speaks 3 words of english cause your getting screwed over

  17. Re:stop knocking them and start fixing the problem on Iran Set To Block Access To Google · · Score: 1

    we need to leave them to their own, we have already wasted tons of time and resources training them for fuck all of nothing, they just need to be cut loose, that way when they fuck up they cant come back whining and bitching like they do now.

  18. Re:Defective by Design on Ask Slashdot: How To Fight Copyright Violations With DMCA? · · Score: 1

    so is defectivebydesign, all they seem to do is beg me for money and clicks

  20. Re:Unity does not force maximized windows on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 1

    in gnome 3 it acts like it wants to be a single app at a time full screen experiance, but people are naturally not retarded, honestly what it feells like to me is old Mac OS, you have an open app list you can thumb though or you can find the window yourself, course if you were a good little robot all your apps would be full screen, that way you can see the spiffy animations.

  21. ugh on XBian's Koenkk Replies To the XBian/RaspBMC Flap · · Score: 0

    more nerd sissy fights

    no one even knew what this was before they started their PMS, and no one cares today

  22. Re:Such hatred! on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 1

    if they didnt continue pissing off their userbase they wouldn't have to resort to this , I don't care about ubuntu, I don't get the massive amount of respect they DO get for taking debian + popular apps and sticking them on a disk. I do get that they could care less about their users, and therefore why should I

  23. Re:Didn't everyone move to Mint? on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 1

    its a matter of how you work, like peoples real desk, I keep things somewhat tidy and in place so when I need them its a simple action, much like clicking a taskbar item, you sound like the guy next to me, who is perfectly happy to have a pile of shit on his desk and when he has to write a note it all gets shoved to the side just so he can find his pencil, much like gnome 3

    "Or are you saying that Ruby coders aren't quite as intelligent as the average dog?"

    heh I almost took the bait

  24. Re:Easily disabled on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 1

    so is not installing ubuntu in the first place

    honestly its now easier to start with a base debian system and build up than it is to install Ubuntu and disable / remove all of its bullshit

  25. Re:Honestly not that bad on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 2

    in fairness your not paying (at the time) 130$+ for the privlage of ad's, Ubuntu is still a free OS, and personally this smells a little desperate, as they have caused a mass exodus on their own product with this whole unity lets make it pretty, but mostly useless tablet OS with bugs that date back to v8
