  1. Double standards on Microsoft Files 15 Lawsuits Against Spammers · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is yet another example of Micro$oft wanting to make the little guy shut up ! They must be doing this to enforce their monopoly ! What is happening to freedom of speech ? Oh wait....

  2. Re:Open Letter to CmdrTaco on SCO Amends Suit, Clarifies "Violations", Triples Damages · · Score: 2, Funny

    Better yet ! A small poo with legs and arms taunting at a giant blue whale/elephant

  3. Cybersquatting on Lobbyists Urge South Australia To Drop Open Source Bill · · Score: 3, Funny

    Someone must be cybersquatting slashdot.org . How else could you explain "lobbyists" was not written as superlative "lobbiest" ?

  4. Re:Are there even that many lines of code? on SCO Terminates IBM's Unix License · · Score: 2

    $echo 'for(int i;i>max;i++)' |grep wc
    would report only one line.

    Also, counting semicolons would not consider the following line to be a LOC :
    while(cond){

  5. Re:Take a hint from greenpeace? on SCO Terminates IBM's Unix License · · Score: 1

    You mean like Ralph Nader being refused access to a presidential debate to which he even had tickets for ?

  6. In other news on Ageism in IT? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Cliff, himself probably around 30, cannot spell the word "hire" correctly, while most teenagers probably can.

  7. Re:People who live in Egypt now on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 1
    are not the directancestors of thise who built the pyramids
    Of course. Dou you expect them to take a time machine, to give birth to the original egyptians and to come back to the present ?
  8. Who cares ? on SCO Gives Friday Deadline To IBM · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who cares if Linux is forced into death ? The Hurd will be ready any day now...

  9. Penguin jokes on Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of Penguin Computers · · Score: 1

    (pretty visual, but funny anyway)

    A guy wants to have sex for money, but hes has only got $10.

    He asks a first whore, but she says she doesn't dump prices.

    He asks another one, but she says the lowest she gives is blowjobs and those cost $20

    This continues until he finds one who tells him "For $10, I will do the Penguin to you".
    The guy agrees and she lowers his pants, only to run away with the $10.

    The guy grabs his pants and limps after the girl, shouting "My money !" (this is the visual part)

  10. I pity the fool on Jabber Gathers Steam In Australia · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Enough Jibber Jabber !

  11. Re:Rail Gun system coming on Rescue Mission For European Space Industry · · Score: 1
    The dark side of the moon could be used to acquire cooling for machinery and computers, etc etc . The light side could be used for a permanent solar farm .
    Uh ? Am I completely mistaken or is the dark side of the moon not darker than the light side ? At least when there is a solar eclipse, I have the impression the so-called dark side gets all the sunlight and the "light" side gets none.

    In other languages, like in French, it is called more correctly the hidden side of the moon. The only thing defining it is that we don't see it. Not that it's actually dark
  12. According to RIAA maths on BSA Creates Piracy Statistics · · Score: 3, Funny

    ....it's only 12%, but some of the were real big percents.

  13. Re:Audiophiles : pedantic idiots on Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified · · Score: 1

    Yeah, nowadays you can make them swallow anything... WMDs in Iraq ? How naive...

  14. Re:Audiophiles : pedantic idiots on Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified · · Score: 1

    So "solid-state" is as ridiculous as the French calling a radio "un transistor" ?

  15. Audiophiles : pedantic idiots on Ripping from Vinyl, Simplified · · Score: 1

    IIRC, in the 1970s, a guy set up a solid state amp, and put a filter with the same characteristic as the a tube in the line.

    Double blind tests revealed audiophiles couldn't make the difference.

    The system sold very poorly, until the guy had another idea : he put dummy tubes in the system. The system then sold much much better.

    Offtopic, but can a native english speaker tell me why exactly semiconductor devices are also called "solid state" devices ?.

  16. In today's episode on Will Wright's Deal with Fox? · · Score: 4, Funny

    In today's episode, the main character will sit on the toilet for 25 minutes, eventhough most males stand while peeing. He will also not lower his pants.

    However, the character will be pixelized and require an unofficial set top box to see completely.

  17. Re:Not Unix, Eunuchs on Three Gorges Dam Begins Storing Water · · Score: 1

    This is not funny. I've been fed up with this so called pun. Unix is pronounced as in "Uniques", only with a short I. You-necks is marginally acceptable.

  18. Re:Good ol days on Preview of Java 1.5 · · Score: 1

    They learnt us stinking Modula 2

  19. Re:Driver strategies on Futuremark Replies to Nvidia's Claims · · Score: 1, Funny

    Here's that pedantic schooleacher again ! Who are you ? ID Software's chief engineer or something ?

  20. That 229M number is pointless on Kazaa Says On Track to Be Most-Downloaded Program · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thousands of people use kazaalite, which is downloaded from dubious (as in more dubious than download.com) websites

    Thousands more use kazaa to download kazaa.

  21. Instead of counterfeiting on Counterfeiting With High Resolution Inkjets · · Score: 1

    Just print 18$ bills. Any uninformed clerk will gladly exchange those for six 3$ bills of three 6$ bills.
