  1. Re:Unauthorized export resale? on New Hampshire Cops Use Taser On Woman Buying Too Many iPhones · · Score: 1

    And the proper response to this is to taser her.

    I think you mean to tase her. When you say taser her it makes me think you're going to throw it at her or something.

    So remember. If you're made of meat, taste great and we'll ensure your species never dies off!

  3. Re:Pink Hoofie Denial on Atheist Blogger Sentenced To 3 Years in Prison For Insulting Islam · · Score: 1

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that what the human race in general does is wrong. Christian, Athiest, Muslim, Christian Scientists, and everyone else too.

  4. Re:We are the 30% on Microsoft To Apple: Don't Take Your Normal 30% Cut of Office For iOS · · Score: 1

    Writers shouldn't code. Coders shouldn't write.

    OUCH!!!!!

  6. Re:Yeah, but ... on Four Cups of Coffee A Day Cuts Risk of Oral Cancer · · Score: 1

    There's no -1 for "I don't get it."

    Telling people "If you don't understand please don't mod me down" in a somewhat snarky way

    Just so you know, I modded you down because you whine about mods in your sig.

    Didn't understand the comment, and decided to mod down anyway.

    Post 1 was moded down and Post 2 explains that the reason is (basically) he didn't understand that Poster 1 doesn't like to be moded down for people not understanding!!!

    IT'S AN IRONIC ENDLESS LOOP!!!!

  7. Re:What is SlashBI for anyway? on Google CEO Larry Page Talks Apple, Android, Google+ · · Score: 1

    It's got to be. Smart we may be, but Business Intelligence wouldn't be a fit here.

  8. Re:timeframes reveal anything? on Air Force Sends Mystery Mini-Shuttle Back To Space · · Score: 1

    Definitely! My tin foil hat has a thick layer of dust!

  9. Re:Oh fuck on How To Use a Linux Virtual Private Server · · Score: 1

    I'd love to offer my "managerial services". Please remit the IP address of your VPS on this slashdot article. I'll take a look at it :)

  10. Re:No More Public Usenets on NZBMatrix Closes Their Website · · Score: 1

    Funny thing is, ask a regular joe was a newsgroup is, and they'll probably re-direct you to Google News search.

  11. Re:Not this shit again on Auto-threading Compiler Could Restore Moore's Law Gains · · Score: 1

    Code stack, and a data stack? I can't decide. You either smell of pot, or stink of scripting languages.

    Ever heard of the stack and the heap?

  12. Re:Did Zuckerberg ever have to get past HR? on Just Say No To College · · Score: 1

    I totally agree.

    I went to college long enough to network with someone who could get me into a development job full time. The rest of my time has been in my field.

  13. Re:Without the use of a loop!? on How Does a Single Line of BASIC Make an Intricate Maze? · · Score: 1

    Sounds a bit more perverted than a JUMP statement though.

    AH NO! My entire box of tractor feed paper is GONE! You Bastard!!!

  15. Re:I'll be the first to say... on Is It Time For the US To Ditch the Dollar Bill? · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, I saw a guy one time toss a quarter to a stripper. Painful experience. Not for her, but she threw it back as hard as she could. I bet it left a bruise.

  16. Re:Right idea, wrong target on US Scientific R&D Could Face Fiscal Cliff Doom · · Score: 1

    So, you're #2 err your #2 (sheesh)

    up to 51% tax plus a 25% VAT?

    Great social programs, but do you have any money left in your pockets?

  17. Re:Wow, 3% = doom? on US Scientific R&D Could Face Fiscal Cliff Doom · · Score: 1

    Never trust any organization with the word Tax in their name.

    Either way, as a not-in-the-top-quintile person, I'd rather your didn't tax them more. Let's try leveling the playing field alittle bit. Here's a thought. Instead of spreading the wealth around, let's spread the tax burden around.

    The only reason politicians want to tax the rich is that it's a smaller portion of their base. If they raised taxes on the middle and lower classes, we'd put them out of office.

  18. Re:No silly on Gameplay: the Missing Ingredient In Most Games · · Score: 1

    I'll pick this one up.

    1. Grinding is an important part of sex (aka the long part) --- 2 puns in one on a monday no less...

    2. Winning State. You're having sex. You're already in a winning state (barring extreme situations i.e. forced etc)

    3. MMO's (Massively Multiplayer Orgies) ARE a game. You CAN win. Hell, you've MOSTLY already won just by showing up.

    The less Al can lie the better I always say!

    Nope that's fact. White males between the ages of 25 and 50 is the only group that you can legally discriminate against in this country.

  22. Re:iPhone vs Android flamewar on Android Hits 73% of Global Smartphone Market · · Score: 1

    But as an app developer, why would I want to write paid apps to ship to china?

    1. I don't speak Chinese, so localization is going to be a b!tch.
    2. Foxconn workers don't make enough to buy apps.
    3. #2 is why Android's market share is so big over there!
