  1. In other words... on Why US Mileage Ratings Are So Inaccurate · · Score: 1

    The tests are based on how people should drive as opposed to how almost all people actually drive, that is to say like rude, arrogant, impatient assholes.

  2. Re:They're wrong on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Good Reasons For DRM? · · Score: 1

    You know what they fear better than they do? Interesting. When did you gain this magical power to know people you have never met better than they know themselves? Or, are you just engaging in a straw man argument?

  3. Re:Art doesn't need remuneration on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Good Reasons For DRM? · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, but what is it you do to earn money?

  4. Blogspam on Former Microsoft Managers Now In Charge of Washington State's Budget · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Ah, yes, more anti-MS blogspam. How wonderful that Soulkill and Timothy are so predictable.

  5. People who are delusional and believe that something else is responsible for their behavior and condition and thus can fix them have a "positive mental health outcome"? Really?

  6. Re:It's simple on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 1

    Because people don't give a fuck what's inside their automobiles. They want their magic carriages to just work, without knowing all the innards. You can blame Ford for making people less mechanically astute, or praise them for raising the bar for every other manufacturer.

    Do you see the fallacy of your statement yet?

  7. Re:So sad on Aaron Swartz Prosecution Team Claims Online Harassment · · Score: 0

    I guess Swartz shouldn't have been a criminal piece of shit.

  8. Re:Punishment fetish wins again on Man Who Pointed Laser At Aircraft Gets 30-Month Sentence · · Score: 0

    The reason he is unlikely to ever do it again is because he is going to prison for 30 months. You really think endangering the life of the pilot, any passengers he may have been carrying, anyone on the ground should he have crashed, the police in the police helicopter doesn't deserve 30 months in prison? Here, let me give you some perspective. I am going to go over to your street with a high powered rifle and randomly fire it into your house. I am sure you will agree that is monumentally stupid and that I shouldn't be punished with prison or even jail for endangering your life and the lives of friends, family, and neighbors. After I am arrested for endangering all those lives, including yours, I won't do it again and so should just get probation, right? You would be good with that, right?

  9. Re:More facetime on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 1

    And quietly telling your friend a joke isn't semi-private? You are an idiot who is making excuses for her hypocrisy.

  10. Know your audience on Ask Slashdot: What Is a Reasonable Way To Deter Piracy? · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot. Most of the people here will say there is no reasonable way to deter piracy. Many will believe you are wrong for trying to guarantee you make money from your effort solely because your effort is in the digital realm and "information wants to be free!"

  11. Re:Start turning the cogs on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 1

    Why don't you ask Slashdot how that subscription thing is working out? In fact, why don't you ask ON Slashdot who people feel about paywalls? Oh, wait, you probably already know.

  12. Re:Because you don't pay, you just complain on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You really shouldn't be surprised about that. "Why should I pay if I can have it for free?" is the thinking of the day, and legality, ethics, and morals don't even enter into the thinking. If morals and ethics do enter into the thinking, it is immoral and/or unethical to want to make money off your work.

  13. Re:I used to block ads on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    DO me a favor. Go out, start a business, don't advertise, let us know how long you stay in business.

  14. Re:When will they accept Windows 8 as a failure? on Microsoft Azure Failure: SSL Certificates Were Updated... Sort Of · · Score: 2

    Guess what. Almost nobody cares that it comes with a secure bootloader. The only people who do care are a small number of geeks.

  15. Re:When will they accept (Linux|Mac) as a failure? on Microsoft Azure Failure: SSL Certificates Were Updated... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Very few like it and use it. (Linux|Mac) desktop? less than 5% of the market share. Now that I have shown the fallacy of your statements, how about you just shut the fuck up.

  16. Bad infrastructure management on Microsoft Azure Failure: SSL Certificates Were Updated... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when you have bean counters and MBA running the IT department.

  17. Re:Yeah, it figures. on Florida Sinkhole Highlights State's Geologic Instability · · Score: 1

    The submitter got it wrong. People were claiming normal settling cracks as sink hole damage. That is why the legislation was passed.

  18. That 2011 legislation on Florida Sinkhole Highlights State's Geologic Instability · · Score: 1

    I live in Florida and have been trying to buy a house here. That 2011 legislation was caused by people claiming cracks caused by normal settling as sink hole damage. If the anonymous submitter had done any checking at all into the law, he would have found that out. So, either the anonymous submitter is either lying or ignorant.

  19. Re:nice efficiency there on Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty To 10 Charges · · Score: 1

    If this were WW2, he would have been executed already.

  20. Re:nice efficiency there on Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty To 10 Charges · · Score: 1

    Unless the accused doesn't want the speedy part. That is why court cases drag on for weeks, months, or years. Manning and his attorneys have been asking for more time to prepare his defense and filing motions that require rulings.

  21. Re:"Stole" or "confiscated"? on Homeland Security Stole Michael Arrington's Boat · · Score: 1

    No, because it has not entered the United States legally.

  22. Re:they need... on Amazon Sells Out Predator Drone Toy After Mocking Reviews · · Score: 2

    Please copy and paste the portion of Constitution of the United States the Supreme Court of the United States has the power to unilaterally modify the Constitution.

  23. Misleading title on In 2011, Fracking Was #2 In Causing Greenhouse Gas In US · · Score: 0
    No, you lying dumbasses, it is not "Fraking is #2..." It is "Drilling is #2...". For fucks sake, IT SAYS IT IN THE FUCKING SUMMARY:

    'Emissions from drilling, including fracking, and leaks from transmission pipes ... second only to power plants, which emitted about 10 times that amount

    So, who is the sensationalistic piece of shit, timothy or eldavojohn?

  24. Wow on Firefox and Chrome Can Talk To Each Other · · Score: 1

    If only this could be done without using a browswer. Oh, wait....

  25. Judging from the current code quality on Is 'Brogramming' Killing Requirements Engineering? · · Score: 0

    The "engineering" part of "software enginnering" has been a fantasy. If bridges were made at the same quality level as software, they would randomly collapse without warning for trivial reasons.
