  1. Re:Metapatent? on IBM Files the Patent Troll Patent · · Score: 1

    Server? I 'ardly know 'er!

  2. Re:how many people... on Ubisoft's Draconian DRM Patched? · · Score: 1

    He's playing both ends against the... middle? side? Well, I'm sure he's got a plan at any rate.

  3. Re:Isn't this a free market? on The 10 Worst Tech Products of 2010 · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the innumerable bash.org quotes that all end with "whoops, wrong window!"

  4. Re:Top 10 lists are obnoxious on The 10 Worst Tech Products of 2010 · · Score: 1

    Defeat obnoxiousness with Greater obnoxiousness?

  5. Re:Just from reading your title on The 10 Worst Tech Products of 2010 · · Score: 1

    But of course! Articles are not posted on Slashdot to be read, but rather to give people keywords (Via the header) with which to insult other people.

  6. Re:Break out your towel on Living Earth Simulator Aims To Simulate Everything · · Score: 1

    I would hate to be pedantic about pedantry, but I'm reasonably certain that DentArthurDent was not the Final Output per se, but the closest thing that the Mice had after the earth was bulldozed for a hyperspace bypass.

  7. Re:Break out your towel on Living Earth Simulator Aims To Simulate Everything · · Score: 1

    I think they were studying us in the sense of Closely Studying us (and the Earth at Large), waiting for Ten Million Year Program to finally spit out the Question.

  8. Re:That would be pretty funny.. on The Empire Strikes Back Added To National Film Registry · · Score: 1

    Besides, it's better than the Droids cartoons, at least with regards to canon.

    I've never seen the Droids cartoons myself, but the Ewoks ones were reasonably entertaining. I was never quite certain why they actually made them in the first place, though...

  9. Re:Traitorware? on EFF Offers an Introduction To Traitorware · · Score: 1

    Let's also change "suicide bomber" to "bomb murderer".

    That'll just rile up everyone whose superhero identity is Captain Semantics.

  10. Re:No More Deregulation on How the Free Market Rocked the Grid · · Score: 1

    ...buying laundered electrons from British Columbia.

    I hope they separated the darks from the lights.

  11. Re:Wikileaks on MegaUpload Dares RIAA To Sue Them · · Score: 1

    They're doing this because they found a way to make it profitable.

    The pissing or the usury?

    It's all a part of their platinum... package, so to speak.

  12. Re:What about other languages .... on Bank of America Buying Abusive Domain Names · · Score: 1

    Eh, Pig Latin is kinda unwieldy for domain names in my opinion (and depending on your dialect). To illustrate: [BOA]uckssay.com; [BOA]owsblay.com; ankbayofayamericaayukssayandayowsblay.com

  13. Re:Everyone does it on Bank of America Buying Abusive Domain Names · · Score: 1

    Sorry, wrong number.

  14. Re:Ob on Examining Indie Game Pricing · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. (Though John Sheridan did say it as well, as I recall.)

  15. Re:Fight back, my fellow hoomans on The Tipping Point of Humanness · · Score: 1

    To be fair, some nerds have lower standards than others. Not I, of course, but still...

  16. Re:Don't Be Too Proud Of This Technological Terror on The Tipping Point of Humanness · · Score: 1

    Polar Express is based on a 1980's children's book, based around a character created by Coca Cola's marketing division. A character that has since then grown into a symbol of consumerism like no other. Oh, and the animation sucked.

    Forgive me if I'm being daft, but could you elaborate on that a little?

  17. Re:Meh on Top 10 Things You CAN'T Have For Christmas · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm pretty sure I won't be getting a hot wife for Christmas, especially from my current wife.

    Well, she could, but you'd probably have to get her a hot husband in exchange.

  18. Re:Very Sad. on Examining Indie Game Pricing · · Score: 1

    Absolutely yes! I practically grew up playing Mechwarrior 2 (Mercenaries, though, so the purists may scream.) Almost makes me want to dig up the old Win98 disc so I can actually get the thing to play. It'd be nice to be reunited with my AWS-9M...

  19. Re:Ob on Examining Indie Game Pricing · · Score: 1

    You know what they say: Understanding is a three-edged sword.

  20. Re:Go electronic! on Banknotes Go Electronic To Outwit Counterfeiters · · Score: 1

    ...try carrying around gold ducats.

    I would, but he's still broken up about Ziyal.

  21. Re:Camera in eyeglasses on Recording the Police · · Score: 2

    I'm sure they'll quit as soon as they find out everyone else is doing it too.

  22. Re:webtrees on Best Open Source Genealogy Software? · · Score: 1

    To be fair, I appreciate that it told me a little about itself amid the fluff.

  23. Re:Nice and Easy on Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It's really great, I'm not sure how long 3rd part antivirus can survive, especially when this is free.

    There's always marketing and brand loyalty.

  24. Re:Hardware category? on Dropbox 1.0 Finally Released · · Score: 1

    You mean it's not a box connected to a series of tubes?

    I think he's possessed.
