    Notice this came from Idle, kill joy.

  2. Re:Is the clipboard on Filesharing Now an Official Religion In Sweden · · Score: 2

    That sounds more like 4chan.

  3. A saner look at NDAA for 2012 on Why Richard Stallman Was Right All Along · · Score: 1

    I know this is probably to late to post this, but hopefully this will enlighten some people.

  4. Re:Happy Gnome 3 User on GNOME Shell Extensions Are Live · · Score: 1

    Notice how you have 2 points while everyone else's idle complaints are modded up. Yeah, the unhappy people tend to be the loudest.

  5. Re:Wishful thinking on Has Apple Made Programmers Cool? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps one of the most insightful things I've read in a while. Thank you.

  6. Re:haters and lovers everywhere on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 1

    Try to convince the masses of the angry of that here. It'll be too disappointing to realize that they might not be a majority.

  7. RIP and thank you for AI on John McCarthy, Discoverer of Lisp, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    How different the world of IT would be without these computer giants. Farewell and thank you!

  8. Reliable source? on Schmidt: G+ 'Identity Service,' Not Social Network · · Score: 1

    Looks like some random forum post to me...no recording or exact transcript...the guy even admits he's paraphrasing (albeit he's doing his best).

  9. Re:Wow! on USPTO Issues 8,000,000th Patent · · Score: 1

    In lawyer guided repackaging/reintroducing/renaming of prior art. Impressive I know.

  10. Re:Why? on Are Bad Economic Times Good for Free Software? · · Score: 1

    That line was meant to be sarcastic :/ I hope you are merely concurring ^_^

  11. Re:I doubt it! on Are Bad Economic Times Good for Free Software? · · Score: 1

    Sorry that you must have messed up your system and not known you had. You do need some knowledge of the system, at least some...I mean, if you go and delete System32 like the kids on 4chan tell you to you deserve no sympathy when things stop working next reboot...

    Computers don't "magically" wake up with back pains. In Linux, it happens to be easier to find the cause of the pains.

    And a $50 image editor is necessary. May be they simply won't buy the software and do without having a good which really isn't a commodity (unless they are a graphic designer, perhaps)

  13. Similar to how pornography reduced sex crimes... on Violent Games Credited With Reducing Crime Levels · · Score: 2

    in Japan...although it could be due to cultural influences in that case.

  14. Mod parent up. on "Expert Body" To Decide Which Sites To Block For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    What an insightful comment. People fail to see that piracy isn't as much a lack of technological protection but the social reality that information cannot be controlled.

  15. links on Google Incrementally Dropping Support For Older Browsers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    as long as google search somewhat works in links, I'm okay.

  16. Re:Can Open Source Hardware Feed the World? on Can Open Source Hardware Feed the World? · · Score: 2

    Yes. Look up Monsanto and the good they've done for American society.

    And no, I don't eat at fast food restaurants, you insensitive clod!

  17. Re:Can Open Source Hardware Feed the World? on Can Open Source Hardware Feed the World? · · Score: 1

    Yes, reliable companies like Sony produce better goods that are along the path to feeding the world, or at least facilitating that work. Open source ideas have no place in this.

  18. Re:Cue the flamewars on GPL Violations By D-Link and Boxee · · Score: 1

    Your arguments are becoming simple semantics and buzz-words, not to mention repetitive drivel.You're trolling is getting weaker mannn ;D

  19. Re:Cue the flamewars on GPL Violations By D-Link and Boxee · · Score: 1

    So because one little kid doesn't want to follow the rules we change the game? S/he really is free to have no connection if s/he wishes to have none, no one is forcing him/er to use other said resources.

    Oh, but may be those resources are the best of the price for his/er? Well, may be it is because the open source model is actually worth a shit and produces good stuff (note I said open source, I'm not siding with stallman). S/he's free to go "roque" and pay someone to make the base or make it him/erself. Not sure s/he'll be alive long enough for that.

    And that's a million "s/he"'s, we need a gender neutral third person pronoun :(

  20. Re:i've been boycotting before anonymous... on 'Anonymous' Plans Sony Boycott On April 16 · · Score: 1

    And that will happen because you complain in comments on mainstream (more than it is not) website for "nerds". At least someone, or some people, are doing something.

  21. If it isn't obvious... on 'Anonymous' Plans Sony Boycott On April 16 · · Score: 1

    In a reply to most of the commenters out there who seem to think either anonymous is forsaking anonymity or that this won't help practically, please realize this is in a way a symbolic protest against Sony. Hell, all protests are symbolic, holding up some sign and chanting nice words doesn't change anything, but it gathers attention to your cause, which is very important if you are a minority.

    Yes the boycotts actually accomplish more, etc, but this at least demonstrates a more visible opposition to them which again is important.

  22. Re:Here's a good list of illegal activities: on Anonymous Launches Attack On Sony · · Score: 1

    i'd mod you if i could.

  23. As long as its usb and laser... on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1
