  1. Re:Fuck Off We Invented It, Its Ours on India's Proposal For Government Control of Internet To Be Discussed In Geneva · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Such arrogance! Mercedes Benz produced the first car in 1886, when you Yanks were dragging carts with horses, and with your economy as it is right now, you will be begging to the world to be allowed to exist. If the Chineses stop buying US government bonds, your trembling economy will go to dust!

  2. It is not such a big deal..... on Broadcast Industry Wades In On Dish Network's Hopper · · Score: 1

    With MythTV (Or Mythbuntu if you prefer), you can do exactly the same. It detects commercials (Fom any recording, not just four broadcastrers) and skipps them when you replay. And you can get Mythbuntu for free!

  3. Re:Fuck Off We Invented It, Its Ours on India's Proposal For Government Control of Internet To Be Discussed In Geneva · · Score: 3, Insightful

    By the same token, Mercedes-Benz invented the car, why should you have one?

  4. World government? on India's Proposal For Government Control of Internet To Be Discussed In Geneva · · Score: 1

    Sounds a bit like Orwell's.....

  5. Is he the only agressive chinp on Stone-Throwing Chimp Back In the News With Better Plan · · Score: 1
  6. Educate the public? on DVDs, Blu-Rays To Show 20-Second Unskippable Govt. Warnings · · Score: 1

    I wonder if that translates to "Winning the hearts and minds..."

  7. Accidental? on US Air Force Can 'Accidentally' Spy On American Citizens For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, I better cancel my plans to visit the US. After some accidental spying, there could be an accidental rendition to Afghanistan, accidental torture, accidental incarceration in Guantanamo bay or even accidental death....

  8. And also.... on Microsoft Makes Ambitious Carbon Neutral Pledge · · Score: 1

    They are going to resurect the dead. Slow down the speed of light. Create a working teleportation machine. Create a device that cleans the air from polutants, it is free to make, does not polute during manufacturing and they are going to give it away!

  9. By accident? on Apple Security Blunder Exposes Lion Login Passwords In Clear Text · · Score: 1

    Sure he was not paid by M$?

  10. Re:Google Beta on Google Gets Driverless License For Nevada Roads · · Score: 0

    You don't have much to worry about, unless you own a petrol station. Think about that car going in to fill up. Without a driver, who is going to pay the bill?

  11. Really?!?!?! on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    Do you need to study to know that?

  12. It had to happen..... on Microsoft Using Linux To Optimize Skype Traffic · · Score: 1

    They have finally realized that Windoze is bugy, resource hungry and underperforms. I guess Micro$oft has hired someone with brains!

  13. Re:"wrongly claimed"??? on Yahoo CEO Wrongly Claimed To Have Degree In Computer Science · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he should consider a career in politics. Lies are even more common in that field.

  14. So they killed him? on Osama Bin Laden Didn't Encrypt His Files · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The US government is not known for it's honesty. Whatever they say (And expirience proves me correct) can be assumed to be a lie. Like the weapons of mass destruction that someone else was higing in his palaces and the mobile laboratories that the same dictator used to create biological and chemical weapons. People, is our memory so bad that we forget easily we are being told nothing but lies by politicians?

  15. Re:What if your phone is stolen? on Will Mobile Wallets Replace Their Traditional Counterparts? · · Score: 0

    Then you will be lucky as the CIA won't be able to track you!

  16. What's new? on Companies More Likely To Outsource Than Train IT Employees · · Score: 0

    I noticed this years ago, so I started contracting. With the extra money, I paid for my own training. If a company is not going to help you, why should you show any loyalty? They have not earned it.

  17. Thinking about it..... on Lawsuit Claims NASA Specialist Was Fired Over Intelligent Design Belief · · Score: 0

    Let’s look at this in a cold dispassionate way. This person claims that evolution (That is science) is rubbish and we were somehow created by a superior being. A superior being that is allegedly eternal, almighty, perfect, full of love and goodness. This superior being has created everything in the universe, including the children dying of starvation in Africa, multiple diseases and is somehow responsible for all the weapons of mass destruction and all natural disasters. How it comes this person has not been sent to a mental institution?

  18. You have watched too much Holywood rubbish on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 0

    By the time a civilization reaches a stage on which they can build large interplanetary spaceships, they are also smart enough to know ways to profit of peace rather than war. Your question belongs more in a primary school classroom than in the real world.

  19. Re:Caffeine on Optimizing Your Caffeine Intake With an App · · Score: 1

    Hey! This article says caffeine, not cocaine

  20. A little issue with the previous stages.... on Swiss To Build Orbital Cleaning Satellite · · Score: 0

    Since each of these satellites is going is going to put out of orbit one existing satellite and itself, we are going to be leaving a booster rocket in orbit, so the way I see it, we send the satellite and the booster rocket up and down two sattelites, we are leaving a booster rocket instead of the satellite wich is bigger and produces more problems. Unless there is a way to use this satellite capturing satellite more than once in the same trip, looks like a waste of time and money...

  21. Have a look at the finance industry on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Open Source Jobs? · · Score: 0

    Most large stock exchanges run Linux, the last one to move was the London Stock Exchange http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/open-source/3260727/london-stock-exchange-in-historic-linux-go-live/. This is not because they can not pay for Micro$oft rubbish, but because reliability, speed and security

  22. Re:Seriously? on FBI File Notes Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure i have read about W. using them as well, but instead of being know for his brains, he has been known for making monkey faces! I guess there must have been some LSD somewhere in his past!

  23. Re:I wonder .. on Lenovo Ordered To Refund 'Microsoft Tax' · · Score: 2, Funny

    The question is rather irrelevant, however, if Micro$oft were going to sell tyres, I guess they will have magnets built in to attract nails, will have to be filled up with Micro$oft air and will have valves that leak so much that you will need to inflate them every three kilometres. Also, they would work only on Micro$oft roads and you would have to pay license per kilometre on top of the price of the car.....

  24. If the appolo missions never happened.... on What If the Apollo Program Never Happened? · · Score: 1

    There would be an unused patch of land in the Nevada desert ;-)
