  1. Re:Jeez... on Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree more. /. has become the gossip board for Palin- and Wiki-haters.

  2. Re:I wonder if the hackers would stop.. on Sony Compromised, Again · · Score: 1

    didn't they just do that (the "promising" part) with the PSN?

  3. Re:GOATSE ALERT on Too Much Data? Then 'Good Enough' Is Good Enough · · Score: 1, Insightful

    a tinyurl almost always means goatse. Honestly, trolls, you can do better. (pick a more obscure, or even homemade, url shortener)

  4. Re:Free Apples! on Apple Nixes iPad Giveaways · · Score: 1

    In contrast, consuming Apple products will put you *in* the walled garden, instead of getting you thrown out.

  5. Re:Will this stick? on Google WebRTC: Can It Replace Skype? · · Score: 2

    Nah, what failures all of those were. Just like the failure of AppEngine, Google Translate, Android...the list of failures goes on and on... /sarcasm

  6. Re:Great Opertunity For Google on Google WebRTC: Can It Replace Skype? · · Score: 1

    as they said they would when they introduced it.

    Source (link) please.

  7. Re:Am i so stupid??? on Google WebRTC: Can It Replace Skype? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Just subtract "anonymous" and it's a lot less impossible. The internet is kinda based around this thing called an IP address...

  8. Re:Confusing title on DC Reboots Universe · · Score: 1

    Looks like it was universal enough for you to understand, troll. >.>

  9. Re:Confusing title on DC Reboots Universe · · Score: 1

    New iPhone app idea: Obama's internet^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H universe kill switch. Sell it for $0.99 a pop and make a fortune for yourself and for Apple.

  10. Confusing title on DC Reboots Universe · · Score: 3, Funny

    For those of us who don't immediately recognize the reference to comics, after reading the title, we're scratching our heads wondering just how arrogant the US Capitol is.

  11. Daleks remind me of... on Daleks To Be Given 'A Rest' From Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    Team Rocket. Yes, I started watching Who after Pokemon. "emergency temporal shift" == "team rocket's blasting off again"

  12. Re:And the standard is.... on Rapid Browser Development Challenges Web Developers · · Score: 2

    We desperately need a "sad but true" mod.

  13. Re:Software Patents. on HTC Is Paying Microsoft $5 For Every Android Phone · · Score: 1

    3 of which are in the reference section.

  14. Dear slashdot moderators on Is Bill Gates the Cure For What Ails Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Stop with the retarded titles. Even though this audience is obviously anti-MSFT, the title here is an extremely loaded question.

  15. Also... on What Makes Parallel Programming Difficult? · · Score: 1

    keep dreaming http://www.flowlang.net/

  16. The answer is... on What Makes Parallel Programming Difficult? · · Score: 1

    that most of today's popular programming languages do not accommodate higher-level forms of expression required for easy parallelism. Declarative languages have a slight edge at being able to express where sequential dependencies are.

  17. Poor users on Google Deprecates Translation API · · Score: 1

    Not even getting a sensible alternative to a discontinued free service that has obviously become their right. /sarcasm

  18. Re:HTC sees an openning on HTC To Unlock Smartphones' Bootloader · · Score: 1

    HTC consistently seems to be less crappy than the competition. Pioneering Android with the G1 certainly won some of my mindshare as well.

  19. Confidentiality fail on HTC To Unlock Smartphones' Bootloader · · Score: 2

    Did anyone notice the confidentiality note on the Evo 3D email? So much for "strictly prohibited" distribution.

  20. gambling on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 2

    An investor who put $100,000 into Microsoft stock 10 years ago would now have about $69,000 worth.

    Interesting. Anyone else feel like stocks are just glorified gambling? (Hint: the house always wins in the long run. Where do you think the now-missing $31k went?)

  21. Re:press = suckers on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 1

    It's hardly a losing situation for the press: they also laugh their way to the bank as people read this mindless stuff and become defiled by ads.

  22. Re:MS advantages disappear in a post-PC world on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 1

    The move to mobile will kill Microsoft

    Reality check: MSFT is still selling tons of Windows+Office PCs to workplaces. I highly doubt that will change anytime soon. Also, last time I checked, WoW on the iPad wasn't very successful.

  23. Re:Fun with summaries on Seismologists Tried For Manslaughter For Not Predicting Earthquake · · Score: 1
    More fun, in true Slashdot style of taking quotes out of context:

    Earthquake prediction can be a grave

    At least 2 puns there ;)

  24. Re:Hyperbole on Google Wallet: the End of Anonymous Shopping · · Score: 1

    Also, WalletMakers claim trademark infringement. WalletMakers claims that "wallet" is not a general term for "money-and-identification-holder", and Google's use of the term violates their self-proclaimed, possibly government-supported, monopoly on it.

  25. Re:Speach recognition on Chapel Hill Computational Linguists Crack Skype Calls · · Score: 3, Funny
    speach

    Scottish Gaelic. Noun speach f (genitive speacha, plural speachan)
    1. wasp

    Like newcastlejon said, his Scottish Gaelic spelling was flawless. I always hate it when Google doesn't recognize my wasps.
