    I done seen +2 Troll before, but never before have I seen +/-0 Funny.

  2. Re:Cyber Monday at IDC! on Will Windows 8 Be Ready For Release In 2012? · · Score: 2

    You seem kinda riled up about this. Like you actually did buy an IDC report once ...

    I *DID* buy an IDC report once, you insensitive clod!

  3. Re:Only "troubled" if you're not Lockheed Martin on The F-35 Story · · Score: 1

    This is the way it *SHOULD* be you dumbass statist. Only the PRIVATE sector can do things reliably, consistently, and with absolute dedication to quality and affordability through innovation and the invisible hand of the free market. The government (as we all know from all the stories on slashdot) is incompetent in everything it does, why woul dyou want national security handled by people whos only interest is the size of their fat cat union backed paycheck?

    As opposed to people whose only interest is the size of their fat cat government-backed contract?

    Obligatory xkcd link.

    And of course "Eternal Flame".

    Yes, the capitalisation of my comment's subject is deliberate.

    Mustn't forget to include the Other Obligatory xkcd link.

    In all honesty, I'm seriously thinking more Ben Bernanke.

    ... apps tend to be really buggy and never really work as required. Either the feel is slow, you accidentally click somewhere or do something that loses all your work ...

    just like windows apps...

    That that doesn't make sense, but you really believe that only apps on the Windows platform are buggy and never really work as required or slow or you can accidently lose your work then it's just sad that you posted it in a pseudo-tech forum.

    But where else are people supposed to share their pseudo-informed opinions?

    Well, somebody had to go first.

    Put more gently, it's "cheap" in this context.

  15. Re:Free Market on Legacy From the 1800s Leaves Tokyo In the Dark · · Score: 1

    Wait: I thought the free market solved all problems and never needed government intervention.

    You seem to have a stunning amount of faith in government, including 1800's feudal Japan, to accurately plan for catastrophes 130 years in advance.

    In a perfect world, the moral would be that you can't put your complete trust in any one thing. But that concept has been having an on-again off-again relationship with Gray Areas, which makes many people distrustful of it.

    Slashdot editors are sorry wankers.

    I sincerely doubt they're sorry about it. They're just sorry they got caught.

    It can be hard to stay on-message when you should be sleeping (time zone permitting).

    P.S.: Posted as AC 'cause yeah, I'd rather not attract ire personally. So what if I'm Completely Pathetic (TM)?

    Wait... do prostitutes give out business cards now? I've been out of the loop for a while...

    So what would you call the little bit of card you'd have the barcode pre-printed on?

    A BarCodeCard? (Stupid Slashdot not showing the TM character.)

    Until it realizes that it could save more money by just killing all the humans.

    Something similar to that movie where Will Smith takes a dump on Asimovs grave. (the name escapes me).

    To be fair, that dump was ostensibly 'inspired by' I, Robot, basically taking the Three Laws, US Robotics, and some of the characters' Names.

    So it was really more generally along the lines of modern action films, where Will Smith takes a dump on all of us, but it has this slightly intriguing, Asimov-scented overlay.
