  1. Re:Greengrocers apostrophe? on Skype Hands Teenager's Information To Private Firm · · Score: 1

    I didn't say anything about spelling :*)

  2. Re:Grannar on David Braben Kickstarts an Elite Reboot · · Score: 1

    It's another American/British difference. Americans view corporations and companies as singular nouns. The British view them as plural nouns.

    As a Brit, I disagree, and so it seems would the BBC. Here's a few quotes from some recent BBC pages:

    Japan's Suzuki Motors ... continues to struggle

    Prudential UK has been fined £50,000 by the Information Commissioner.

    Marks and Spencer, the UK's biggest clothing retailer, has posted pre-tax profits...

    No, I'm just not an editor.

    Slashdot - editors, have you? No - shame.

    FTFY.

    I'm prepared to bet that the number of people who dislike you is *much* higher than you imagine it to be, and at least 2 higher today.

    Confirmed.

    Yes, it's not like Slashdot has editors whose job it is to make sure headlines and summaries are gramatically correct and easily readable.

  7. Re:Registry Editor on Software Uses Almost 1/2 the Storage On 32GB Surface Tablet · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's supposed to be a freakin tablet.

    Which is a freakin' computer running a freakin' operating system.

    Why the fuck do you have to get so angry just because you've failed to comprehend?

    They disagree. Which is better? There's only one way to find out...

    Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

    the propaganda and lies you read about him...MASSIVE CRIMES done by the CIA to get rid of him...group of organized crime that plays protection rackets and giant fraud schemes...generally completely detached from physical reality...would murder for money...constant cocaine abuse

    Sorry, you have been brainwashed.

    Also 9/11 was an inside job and you forgot to tell you the guy he was one of the "sheeple."

  11. Re:Awesome on Boeing 787 Makes US Debut · · Score: 1

    that is just beyond unreasonable.

    Then you need to have words with the people buying these tickets, not the airlines selling them.

  12. Re:Grammer... on Linus Torvalds Tries KDE, Likes It So Far · · Score: 1

    I wonder whether anyone else will actually get your joke?

    Is that a question or a statement?

  13. Re:no p2v for unix? on Ask Slashdot: Finding Legacy UnixWare Installation Media? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seriously, systems this old need to be retired.

    Seriously, that isn't always an option.

  14. Re:Question: on Massachusetts May Soon Change How the Nation Dies · · Score: 1

    I understand haning one's self isn't a bad way to go. Slitting your wrists might be a little painful, particularly if the blade isn't sharp.

    I'd far rather take the drugs, if only for the sake of the people who'll find me.

  15. You need VR tech for that? on VR Tech Lets People Interact With Rats · · Score: 1

    First generation iPod touch doesn't have a retina display

    Just move it further from your eyes. Instant retina display!

  18. Re:Undecoded? on WW2 Carrier Pigeon and Undecoded Message Found In Chimney · · Score: 2

    It could be random text, in which case it's not encoded, but it is (and will remain) undecoded.

    Nerds could care less about a truckload of nuts.

    So they do care, then?

  20. Re:have fun hacking a OS that few want to run on Security Firm VUPEN Claims To Have Hacked Windows 8 and IE10 · · Score: 1

    IE8: See IE7, they never fixed the bug.

    What bug, specifically, is this? Or have you just screwed up your IE and you're intent on blaming it on Microsoft?

    Foolish human. Only Superman can travel faster than light. Why he had to go back round the other way a bit is still a mystery, though.
