  1. Timothydot on An iPad Keyboard You Can Type On and Swipe Through · · Score: 1

    News For Timothy, Stuff That Matters (To Timothy)

  2. Re:/. threw itself under the bus on Google Throws /. Under Bus To Snag Patent · · Score: 1

    Oh so long ago when it sold itself for $$$ to whoever that company was. The bus has been running it over ever since.

    See my .sig. Also the same folks who recently renamed Freshmeat.net since that name could be misconstrued as a porno site.

  3. Re:How is this throwing /. under the bus? on Google Throws /. Under Bus To Snag Patent · · Score: 2

    In case you hadn't noticed, this place has been invaded by a succession of increasingly dumber editors, which are probably rejects from Boingboing.

    You know Slashdot is going downhill when they're posting articles from the Daily Mail.

    \hell, adding the "Politics" section for the 2004 elections was bad enough

  4. Re:Chinese tablet manufacturers on Ask Slashdot: Tablet With Root Access By Default? · · Score: 1

    Check this one out for example [benton-cn.com]. The good thing about doing this is, you're working directly with the manufacturer and have all the control over the software on the device that you desire.

    The spelling errors alone on that page screams worthless Chinese knockoff.

  5. Re:Hmmm. on Universal Music Demands Insurer Pay For Infringement Damages · · Score: 1

    but that the entire concept of ownership of one's intellectual work was immoral.

    Which is still debatable, since "morality" is subjective.

  6. Re:Hmmm. on Universal Music Demands Insurer Pay For Infringement Damages · · Score: 1

    No, if the market doesn't want it, then you starve - no immorality.

    But if people are pirating it, then pretty much demonstrably, people want your product. If they're willing to forego it for the price you charge, you also starve - no immorality.

    But where they get the benefit of it *and* you don't get recompense you asked. *That's* immoral.

    Which has little to do with current copyright law, as the other poster suggested.

  7. Re:Hmmm. on Universal Music Demands Insurer Pay For Infringement Damages · · Score: 1

    Because the idea of working hard to produce something people want

    Fine.

    spending a considerable amount of money to make it available to people

    Irrelevant. You chose to make that economic risk.

    and then expecting recompense is immoral.

    Even if the market doesn't want your final product?

  8. Re:I guess breakfast on The RMS Tour Rider · · Score: 2

    He'd farm his own eggs, but then he'd have to distribute the chicken, and the egg, and the chicken...

    All modifications to distributed eggs must include the modified chicken as well.

  9. I guess breakfast on The RMS Tour Rider · · Score: 3, Funny

    is the most proprietary meal of the day.

  10. Re:BS on ARM Goes 64-Bit With Its New ARMv8 Chip Architecture · · Score: 1

    Who is writing

    Well, if you look at submitter's name link you'll see "http://www.techworld.com.au/", which just happens to be where the summary links to.

    and editing this BS?

    Why that would be one of the crack Slashdot "editing" staff, who are more than happy to link to subby's techrag clickbait (probably collecting a fee for Geek.net).

  11. Re:I hear that the greats die in threes on John McCarthy, Discoverer of Lisp, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    Serious fanboi is serious

  12. I hear that the greats die in threes on John McCarthy, Discoverer of Lisp, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    So Dennis Ritchie and now John McCarthy....

  13. The corporate "Check Engine" light is on again! on UBS: Our Risk Systems Did Detect $2bn Rogue Trader · · Score: 1

    Exec: "Eh, it's still running, probably just a glitch or something."

  14. Re:This is a Conspiracy Theory on Big Brother Calls 'Shotgun' In Illinois · · Score: 1

    This post is a series of unrelated facts that come together in a paranoid conclusion. Nowhere in here would I conclude that the state is adding cameras to their EZ-Pass, only that there is a company that COULD do that. Posting this was a really dumb editorial call, /.

    It's just timothy trying to people rile up because he fails at life. And there is nothing even remotely "editorial" about anything on Slashdot.

  15. Re:Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit on The Inside Story of the Kelihos Takedown · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder if they ever caught the guy responsible for Windows ME.

    Waah porting is hard and stuff!

  18. ...And? on Linux Support Fades For 3Dfx Voodoo, Rage 128, VIA · · Score: 2

    This is news? Trimming out old cruft from a source code tree isn't a big deal.

  19. Re:Good luck on USPTO Issues 8,000,000th Patent · · Score: 1

    The system consistently rakes in more money to the business of government than it does to any one if their associates in the "private" sector.)

    Huh?

  20. Thanks for the shitty blog link, slashdot! on Vodafone Femtocells Rooted, Secret Keys Exposed · · Score: 1

    Their blog archive goes all the way back to July 2011!

  21. Re:C#/Mono similar? on Red Hat Uncloaks 'Java Killer': the Ceylon Project · · Score: 4, Funny

    Two words:

    Oracle.

    What's the second word?

    Lawyers.

  22. Great, yet another moronic April Fools Day on SlashTweaks Let YOU Micro-Edit Slashdot · · Score: 2

    At least Taco remembered some of the old school Slashdot. Props to the natalieportman and grits mention.

  23. Re:Misleading article on Linux 2.6.38 Released · · Score: 1

    But I have to point out that the way the slashdot summary was written is misleading.

    You must be new.

  24. Re:We worship the blowhard on Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google · · Score: 1

    In other words, Glenn Beck is a professional troll?

    Yes.

    Not that Slashdot itself would ever troll, what with their objective, factual headlines and article summaries...

  25. Re:Shameless promotion? on Open-source Challenge To Exchange Gains Steam · · Score: 1

    Look at the submitter's handle, then look at the author's name of the NetworkWorld article...
