    Windows 8 : The final triumph of Steve Jobs.

  2. Re:Linux on the desktop, now? on Windows 8 Release Preview Now Available To Download · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm going to buy 10 retail copies of Windows 7 so that I'll have plenty for any future needs.
    That'll show Microsoft they can't jerk me around.

  3. Pfft. on Intel Ivy Bridge Processor Hits 7GHz Overclock Record · · Score: 0

    That's nothing. My signal generator will do 15Ghz easy... maybe even 20.

  4. Legislating Security on NC Planners May Be Barred From Using Speculative Sea Level Rise Predictions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If only these annoying science-based predictions could be reined in, we won't have to worry about the North Carolina outer banks washing away...

  5. Re:in other news... on Industry Groups Bid To Control New Business-Specific TLDs · · Score: 1

    The gov has applied for .surf and this will become the only tld available to non-persons.

    Catch a wave, dude.

  6. Well then... on Industry Groups Bid To Control New Business-Specific TLDs · · Score: 2

    If they can get this, then the precedent has been set and I'll be a shoe-in for .loser
    (And if I can't get that, then I'll go for .momsbasement)

  7. Re:It's all relative, right? on Another Afghan School Poisoned — 160 Girls Hospitalized · · Score: 1

    Well it will be a relief when the guys who did this take over the government of the country as then they will be able to simply ban the girls from school and take them at an early age as 3rd or 4th wives instead of being forced to poison them.

  8. Re:Construction or landscaping on Ask Slashdot: Find a Job In China For Non-native Speaker? · · Score: 1

    You're giving me a frowny face.

  9. Re:OH my... on Ask Slashdot: Find a Job In China For Non-native Speaker? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You don't want to go to Beijng. Trust me ... If you care about ... respect for (animal) life in general, stay in Canada.

    The Chinese have a very deep respect for life and know how to treat every kind of animal appropriately.
    For example, rats are roasted, scorpions are broiled, snails are put in noodles, cats make a good soup, and minnows are best slurped down live with some rice wine.

  10. Re:Steve Jobs on Backdoor Found In China-Made US Military Chip? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I have to complain about this moderation.
    No fanboy in his right mind would require more than a few seconds of meditation in front of his home or office shrine to the ascended Jobs before modding my comment "flamebait".

    So where does the "offtopic" come from?

  11. Re:What did the military expect? on Backdoor Found In China-Made US Military Chip? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Part of the problem is chinese-produced counterfeit devices flooding the market.
    So you think you're purchasing a "safe" or "known" device, but... oops, you aren't.

  12. Re:Even if MS had caught the error and issued a pa on Microsoft Wrongly Gives Britain the Day Off · · Score: 1, Funny

    I gave up on the holidays calendar years ago due to an overabundance of errors -- primarily inclusions of US holidays in the Canada calendar.

    Wait, what's the problem with that?

  13. Re:design flaw on Backdoor Found In China-Made US Military Chip? · · Score: 1

    major design flaw not the fault of an american engineer....

    "American engineer" Lol! Heh heh... What an oxymoron! It's almost as bad as "Chinese electronics!" Ha ha ha...

    Waitaminute...

  14. Steve Jobs on Backdoor Found In China-Made US Military Chip? · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is all Steve Jobs' fault. I blame him.

  15. Re:MS Creates Holidays? on Microsoft Wrongly Gives Britain the Day Off · · Score: 2

    Wait--who relies on Microsoft to tell when they have off work?

    Microsoft employees.

  16. $10 BILLION on Is Facebook Going To Buy Opera? · · Score: 2

    If Instagram is worth $1B to Facebook, I figure Opera must be worth at least $10B.

  17. Security? on 19-Year-Old Squatted At AOL For 2 Months · · Score: 1

    So when discovered, why didn't he just show that guard that his badge worked and that he was thus entitled to stay in the building?

  18. Way Cool on At Long Last, a Private Cargo Spaceship Takes Off (Video) · · Score: 2

    One Rocket, TWO takeoffs!

  20. Oh wow! on White House Petition For Open Access To Research · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh wow! An online petition!
    Now things will really start to change!
    For the next step we need to stage a sit-in at a Starbucks.

  21. Should be... on HP To Cut 30,000 Jobs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why not just cut 300,000 right away and get ahead of the game for once?

  22. Re:ugh on UK Government Staff Caught Snooping On Citizen Data · · Score: 2

    You forgot the appropriate converse: UK: Ok, now you jump for me, old pal. US: Shove it.

  23. Bye Bye Mandrake on Mandriva SA Cedes Control To Mandriva Community · · Score: 1

    Long ago I was one of those people who bought their stock at 2€/share to try to support them. Of course I wrote off that money almost just as long ago. But I still get their nifty french proxy cards (that probably cost more to send than my stock is worth)

  24. Re:Using a phone in criminal activity? on UK Police Roll Out On-the-Spot Mobile Data Extraction System · · Score: 1

    Barack Obama is white.

  25. Re:Persian vs Arabian on Iran Threatens Legal Action Against Google For Not Labeling Gulf 'Persian' · · Score: 1

    Alexander Makedonsky defeated Persia, so maybe it should be called the Macedonian Gulf.
