  1. errr on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Yeah, sure, I'll give up all this personal information to a corporation.

    If this were a Microsoft tool, or some other company's tool, the majority of Slashdot would be crying revolution and taking to the streets. It's frightening to see how easily otherwise skeptical people give up their information to Google.

    Google is becoming the new Microsoft.

  2. Re:Please! on Senator Alleges White House Wrote Allawi's Speech · · Score: 1

    Or could you could just say:

    Living in the state of $STATE and having $CONGRESS_PERSON as one of our members of government I can tell you $GENDER_SPECIFIC_REFERENCE only cares about $GENDER_SPECIFIC_REFERENCE and no one else.

    And conclude with:

    $FIRST_NAME we here in $STATE know you are long on words but woefully short on action.

  3. Oh WHY on Ubuntu Linux Review · · Score: -1, Troll

    Great! Just what the world needs: another Linux distro!

  4. Scroll wheel on The Secret Behind the iPod Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1

    I own an iPod, and enjoy it muchly, but sometimes the scroll wheel actually annoys me. It makes it much more difficult to go one item down in the menu. Sometimes I wish there was up/down buttons in addition, but then Apple tells me I shouldn't think this way, so I don't.

  5. Alright... on George Lucas Speaks on Trilogy Changes · · Score: 1

    Whose got the rocks?

  6. Hmm. on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is this like a geek version of the weird places you've had sex?

  7. Waking Life on A Scanner Darkly Film Preview · · Score: 2, Funny

    Waking Life wasn't so odd. I think the phrase you want is obnoxiously trite.

  8. DFW!!! on Everything and More · · Score: 1

    Can I just say that Infinite Jest is like the best fucking novel ever?

    I have nothing else to contribute.

  9. Rebranding time on What's Coming in Solaris 10 · · Score: 0

    IrrelevantOvepricedOS 2004+ ez-EXTREME.

  10. Uh... on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    Sounds very creepy and cultish, like Apple's whole image in general.

  11. Next conspiracy? on Apple to Fix Security Holes in Jaguar · · Score: 1

    I am sure the next conspiracy will be coming right up with the next Microsoft-related post here at /.

  12. Uh.. on Vietnam Going Open Source · · Score: 1

    So if I am understanding you correctly, then a market-driven Microsoft monopoly is a bad, horrible, unethical thing but a government-mandated Unix monopoly is a good thing?

    Yay Slashdot logic.

  13. Linus rules on Wired Interview with Linus Torvalds · · Score: 1

    I love Linus. Laid back, chill, subtly brilliant. Feeding his kids Cheerios. Happy, seemingly.

    Too bad more religious zealots in the Linux community can't be more like him.

  14. DFW on Quicksilver · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you're going to work through 900+ pages of a novel, may I also suggest David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest?

    Neal would be proud of you.

  15. OMFG! on Buffer Overflow in Sendmail · · Score: 1

    I cannot believe Microsoft has another security hole! The open source community would never---

    oh, fuck.

  16. Re:Hrm... on No Americans Need Apply · · Score: 1

    err, maybe, if American was a race, but it's not, so no, it wouldn't.

  17. Re:English Translation... on Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX" · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is thanks with I send you to unto that the Babel links provided are here from you copied.

  18. Mistaken! on The Ultimate Computer Chair? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Clearly these people have not talked to the developer community in designing these chairs. I see no Dr. Pepper / Red Bull holders nor any place to set your half-eaten bag of Cheetos.

    When will someone get it?

  19. Yeah! on For Microsoft, Market Dominance Isn't Enough · · Score: 2, Funny

    How dare a company try to increase its profits and make more money?! How dare a business try to best its competitors in the marketplace?!

    I for one am disgusted and only hope that this evil is vanquished!

  20. Shortcuts on Summary of JDK1.5 Language Changes · · Score: 0, Troll

    Unlike some people, I feel using programming shorthand leads to increased maintenance.

    I hope you never have to look at any PHP; you'll go blind.

  21. The sky is falling! on 'Quicksilver' Website and Release Date · · Score: 2, Funny

    OMFG, the /. editors let a misspelling of NEAL Stephenson through.

    Heresy!

  22. Re:It's sad on Apple Updates Professional Video Lineup · · Score: 1

    Well, Logic 6 isn't coming out for the PC, so I'd say it's already been cut off.

  23. Cool! on Programming Web Services with Perl · · Score: 1

    This sort of book is really cool to see. Perhaps I just wasn't looking closely enough, but Perl seemed to be lagging far behind J2EE/.NET in terms of web services (and XML in general) and I now I have a little more ammo to sell Perl to my boss with! /plans trip to bookstore at lunch.

  24. Why? on BlackRhino Linux Now Available for PlayStation 2 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I am not trolling here, I'm seriously interested.. Why would anyone care to run Linux on their PS2?

  25. Re:DMCA compliance? on New Developments in Music Technology · · Score: 1

    Yeah man, and They are after you.
