  1. Not to sound cynical on Google Working on Desktop Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    because Google has a great track record, but I don't think Google is the right company to get all excited about when we find they're working on Linux. IBM, yes, as they have extensive knowledge and experience working with both hardware and OSes.

    Google is good at... gathering and indexing information. I don't see a Google Ubuntu being much more than Ubuntu with bundled linux versions of their various apps.

  2. Re:This is irony at best... on Poor Spelling Beats Google's China Filter · · Score: 1

    This is not actually irony at all.

  3. Re:Two possible slashdot headlines from next week on MacWorld's iMac Core Duo Benchmarks Debunked? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I hear they're going to be bundled with Duke Nukem Forever.

  4. Two possible slashdot headlines from next week on MacWorld's iMac Core Duo Benchmarks Debunked? · · Score: 4, Funny

    MacWorld uncovers secret Apple contributions to MacSpeedZone.

    OR

    Prices for flying pigs drop dramatically as supply increases after Apple products live up to claimed bench marks.

  5. Troll??? on Classic Game Endings Online · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What the fuck? He posted a great idea. Do the mods even try anymore, or do they just click random moderations for the first few posts they see?

  6. Net evil loss. on Google Agrees to Censor Results in China · · Score: 1

    Considering their censorship will likely be much less draconian than any implemented by Microsoft, they're doing the Chinese population a favor. If you consider that their other option is to not censor anything and have China block their entire domain, thus depriving the entire country of Google, they're at least giving them something.

  7. Re:What's wrong? on Gmail Mis.delivered? · · Score: 1

    I think you get it.

  8. Re:All the time our customers ask us, How do we ma on eBay Scraps Transaction Fees in China · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's actually a quote from SNL, you straight-up clod.

  9. All the time our customers ask us, How do we make on eBay Scraps Transaction Fees in China · · Score: 2, Funny

    money doing this? The answer is simple: volume.

  10. Re:This is why we need article moderation. on UCLA Students Urged to Expose 'Radical' Professors · · Score: 1

    We should at least make things interesting and try for a bet on the split of positive reactions to negative ones.

    I pity whoever has to tally them, though.

  11. This is why we need article moderation. on UCLA Students Urged to Expose 'Radical' Professors · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Because this one is nothing but flamebait.

  12. Do not mod parent down. on Firefox Usage Climbing In Europe · · Score: 1

    It's complete truth. It's not even a suitably obfuscated statistic like many religions will use when they say "FASTEST GROWING."

    Fucking worthless story. Bravo.

  13. This can't be good. on New Way to Stimulate Brain to Release Antioxidants · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Perhaps for treating specialized diseases, but like most drugs, if you force your brain to do things it normally shouldn't, like release more of a certain compound, you'll run into production and resistance issues, eventually requiring more and more for the same effect until bad things happen.

    I remain skeptical.

  14. Isn't it the same liquid crystal panel as Apple's? on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 1

    I can't imagine there's a large group of manufacturers for 30" LCDs, so what even differentiates this from Apple's monitor besides price? Backlight?

  15. The consumers will decide. on If DVD Is Dead, What's Next? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter what the fucking tech pundits or even tech companies say. As long as there is a demand for regular old DVDs (And there IS, and there will be for quite some time), somebody will step up to the plate and deliver.

    Consumers will rebel hard against movie studios trying to force them into HD-DVD and Blu-ray, content to stick with their "good enough" and cheap current solution.

  16. Re:What's to stop Fox from doing it again though? on Futurama to be Resurrected? · · Score: 0

    Not to sound cliche, but basically because everyone else is doing it. See the reply below yours.

  17. What's to stop Fox from doing it again though? on Futurama to be Resurrected? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fuck them. It's a pity Fox ends up with such draconian ownership of shows, or Groening could have brought new Futurama episodes to a better network. Now he's once again at the mercy of their idiotic policy on show cancellations.

  18. Wait for it... on The USB Wristband · · Score: 5, Funny

    the only thing dumber than this product will be the lawsuit spawning from some previously unknown IP company suing Imation over their wristband patent.

  19. Re:Slashvertisements continue. on Pro C# · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, disagreeing with editors constitutes trolling, as does questioning anything they do.

    Watch this post get modded troll too.

  20. Slashvertisements continue. on Pro C# · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's not like there aren't a million other C# books available. What makes this one special or "news for nerds?"

    Yeah, whatever. Mod me down.

  21. How deep did they go? on Going Deep Inside Vista's Kernel Architecture · · Score: 3, Funny

    Because I'm only interested if it was BALLS DEEP.

  22. What will be especially interesting... on Businesses Urged To Use Unofficial Windows Patch · · Score: 4, Interesting

    will be to compare the Microsoft released patch to the unofficial one.

    It would be deliciously muddying for Microsoft if someone discovered significant parts of the unofficial patch in the official one.

  23. -1, Troll on Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner Answers Your Questions · · Score: -1, Troll

    Did Opera buy out Slashdot?

    In less than the past month, we've had 7 stories dedicated to Opera, and plenty more semi-referencing it. Why so much focus on an alternative browser with even less market penetration than Firefox and a smaller chance of long-term survival?

  24. Not to rip on Wikipedia... on Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic · · Score: 4, Informative

    but I think the National Hurricane Center makes a much more relevent and useful link when it comes to HURRICANES.

    http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

  25. Their house of cards is collapsing. on RIAA Bullies Witnesses Into Perjury · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In recent days, it seems like more and more stories about the RIAA royally fucking up are getting picked up by the major media outlets. All of this bad press will (hopefully) finally get the American populace aware of how bad these companies really are, and possibly mobilize the sloth-like public to actually do something about it.

    Rejoice, slashdot nerds and trolls. The time of revenge may finally be at hand.
