  1. Re:First Post on GNOME Shell Extensions Are Live · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sorry, but it seems I acquired the first post this time. Posted from KDE4.

  2. Dead on GNOME Shell Extensions Are Live · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Gnome 3 is dead. Mod me down but it's true.

  3. Re:What you do is get every gamer to wear a helmet on How a Computer Game Is Reinventing the Science of Expertise · · Score: 2

    The problem is the number of cells in the brain. It took years to map the brain of a damn worm, your brain is orders of magnitude larger and has even more orders of magnitude in connections. Besides, I don't think we have a scanner that can read activity on such a small scale yet. You'd only be able to map their brain after killing them and putting them under a scope.

  4. Re:Ok. analyze THIS. on How Tech Vendors Help Governments Spy On Their Citizens · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh come on, the fact your government has all your phone calls on file and knows every website you've ever visited is so shockingly predictable it doesn't even need to be leaked.

  5. Nope on Genome Researchers Have Too Much Data · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No such thing as too much data on a scientific topic.

  6. Future on The Strange Birth and Long Life of Unix · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can see some form of UNIX making it to the 22nd century and beyond.

  7. Re:facepalm on Researchers Find Big Leaks In Pre-installed Android Apps · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you've read my posts you'll see I really am not a google fan.

  8. Re:Android sucks on Researchers Find Big Leaks In Pre-installed Android Apps · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or First Post (Sent from iPhone)

  9. facepalm on Researchers Find Big Leaks In Pre-installed Android Apps · · Score: 0, Troll

    This just in: complex software has security vulnerabilities.

  10. Re:morality on Napster Being Shut Down · · Score: 1

    If you really hate them don't buy their products. But that doesn't mean you can steal them. Hell, you can go make your own damn music and post it on Magnatune or Jamendo (which is the biggest threat to record companies anyway).

  11. Re:Without Napster we'd still be buying all CD's on Napster Being Shut Down · · Score: 5, Funny

    Probably nickelback. They're good as mass production.

  12. Re:morality on Napster Being Shut Down · · Score: -1, Troll

    Because when someone steals from the open source community its a sin but stealing from businesses is cool. I love slashdot.

  13. Re:Without Napster we'd still be buying all CD's on Napster Being Shut Down · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If your smart you grab the CD and rip it, then store the CD in a safe place. You save money and have no DRM.

  14. morality on Napster Being Shut Down · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Cue defense of music/software piracy in 3....2....1...

  15. Re:Priorities on Kyoto Protocol Renewal Efforts Struggling · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You think slashdot karma means anything? Mod up = I agree, Mod down = I disagree.

  16. Priorities on Kyoto Protocol Renewal Efforts Struggling · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In all honesty, the European Union (as the first true step towards one world government) needs saving more than the environment.

  17. Re:And still... on Chrome Becoming World's Second Most Popular Web Browser · · Score: 1

    They just want to catch up to IE's version number as an ego booster. Then they'll (hopefully) go back to normal.

  18. Re:Yay on Chrome Becoming World's Second Most Popular Web Browser · · Score: 1

    If I had this spot, I would have said "First post becomes world's second most popular post" but that's way funnier.

  19. Re:meanwhile in rapeville... on WikiLeaks Launches New Platform, Privacy Study · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The dude does look kind of creepy.

  20. jaded on 30 Years of the BBC Micro · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People used to get excited when a CPU clock was measured in MEGAHERTZ! Now we're jaded...

  21. Ruby?! on Ruby Clouds: Engine Yard Vs. Heroku · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ruby is a horrible language that is crippled without Rails. Why do people want to use Ruby?

  22. Re:They're not really stealing from bank on Anonymous Threatens Robin Hood Attacks Against Banks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They're stealing from everyone, which is unacceptable. Anon has finally gone batshit insane.

  23. Re:Ready, fire, aim on Anonymous Threatens Robin Hood Attacks Against Banks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is fucking great, now anon is going to get some awesome new laws passed to hurt us even further.

  24. Re:Clathrate gun hypothesis on Permafrost Loss Greater Threat Than Deforestation · · Score: 1

    Those poor trilobites.

  25. Jobs on Permafrost Loss Greater Threat Than Deforestation · · Score: 3, Funny

    Permafrost makes it harder to dig, hurting the economy and killing jobs. That's why everyone hates it.
