  1. Re:Petition on 35 Million Google Profiles Collected · · Score: 1

    Yo dawg, I heard you like AND don't like Google, so I put up a robots.txt on your Google so your Google can't Google you while you Google. Great googley-woogley!

  2. Re:Are you surprised? on 35 Million Google Profiles Collected · · Score: 2

    How is this news?

    This! Is! Slashdot!

  3. Re:Facebook Apps on Cyanogenmod Puts Users in Control of Permissions · · Score: 1

    No one tech-savvy enough to use such a feature even uses Facebook Apps anymore.

  4. ENHANCE! on Upscaling Retro 8-Bit Pixel Art To Vector Graphics · · Score: 1

    'nuff said.

  5. No? on Are Streaming Media Players a Passing Fad · · Score: 1

    Giving an answer with a question mark is a lot less annoying than asking a question without one.

  6. Re:Not gonna happen in stock Android on Cyanogenmod Puts Users in Control of Permissions · · Score: 1

    But if the app depends on the 'net for it's functionality then the user won't block its internet access. Yay, DLC?

  7. Re:more of this look and feel bullshit again? on Samsung Ordered To Hand Over Unreleased Designs To Apple · · Score: 1

  8. Re:Check the last story? on Ask Slashdot: FOSS, Multiplatform Skype Replacement for PC-to-PC Video Chat? · · Score: 1

    Thank you. Reading TFS gave me deja vu and now I know I'm not crazy.

  9. Re:Torrent on Fedora 15 Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    Don't forget the many^H^H^H^H CC-licensed movies/TV shows, such as Pioneer 1.

  10. Re:Torrent on Fedora 15 Released · · Score: 1

    In my experience, new releases of large FOSS projects are always very fast to torrent.

  11. Re:"Open Media" on Major Release of Miro Aims to Compete With iTunes · · Score: 2

    unless you want to pirate

    Miro makes it quite easy to torrent music/vids right into your library...don't underestimate this angle, although it's not exactly the kind of thing Miro is going to go around announcing publicly, for obvious reasons.

  12. Re:The summary is shilled. on Wikipedia Edits Around the World · · Score: 1

    Here's a hint: get a life, wiki-hating troll. Suddenly the world will have more complexity and riches.

  13. Re:The summary is shilled. on Wikipedia Edits Around the World · · Score: 1

    I dare you to name 3 articles in your area of expertise that you find deeply flawed.

  14. Re:Qualitative data over quantitative data on Wikipedia Edits Around the World · · Score: 1

    Oh, shut up and hold hands. Numbers may be padded but it's awesome to see so many people all around the globe trying to work together to record human knowledge.

  15. Re:No, i have a better idea. on Linus Torvalds Considering End To Linux 2.6 Series · · Score: 2

    RMS only insists on calling the packaged OS "GNU/Linux" since they use GNU software and the Linux kernel.

  16. Re:First number on Linus Torvalds Considering End To Linux 2.6 Series · · Score: 2

    I'm fairly certain he does use Linux to write Linux.

  17. Re:Thank goodness on New Laser Data Transfer Rate Record Set At 26 Tbps · · Score: 1

    That's an easy one! It's exactly 1 Library of Congress. >.>

  18. Thank goodness on New Laser Data Transfer Rate Record Set At 26 Tbps · · Score: 1

    they used the American measuring system I'm familiar with: the Library-of-Congress.

    At those speeds, the entire Library of Congress collections could be sent down an optical fibre in 10 seconds.

    It surprised me that this came from bbc.co.uk

  19. Re:Is IT/CS/... not easy enough already? on Professor Questions Sink-Or-Swim Intro To CS Courses · · Score: 1

    I believe the saying is: "It's easy to train someone smart, but it's hard to smart someone trained."

  20. Re:What will they replace it with? on Swiss To End Use of Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    Isn't global warming like 40 years late already?

  21. Non sequeter on CyanogenMod: the History of an Android Hack · · Score: 1

    But pairing the software with a phone is no easy task. First, CyanogenMod would have to pass the tests required by Google’s certification program in order to bundle Google’s proprietary apps — Gmail, Calendar, etc. — on the phone.

    Non sequeter. Having Google's proprietary apps is not necessary in order to "pair the software with a phone". Sure, it helps, but it's not necessary.

  22. Re:No comment? on Linux Gets Dynamic Firewalls In Fedora 15 · · Score: 2

    Slashdotters being raptured? I doubt it...

  23. Newsies on German Police Seize German Pirate Party Servers · · Score: 1

    I read "The German police have seized today" and immediately started heard newsies singing in my head. I guess confiscating other people's servers is their way to carpe diem.

  24. In other words on Apple: an 'App Store' Is Not a Store For Apps · · Score: 1

    Apple denies that, based on their common meaning, the words "app store" together denote a store for apps

    In other words, Apple denies the basic constructs of the English language. *facepalm*

  25. Re:BF Skinner on Seduction Secrets In Video Game Design · · Score: 0

    This comment is attractive because it trains you with positive reinforcement quickly delivered.

    More complex theories are superfluous.
