  1. Re:Oh, c'mon! on Beyond Pay? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just to be a spiteful bastard you should track your old boss down and remind him what actions of his led to his current situation.

  2. Re:Age is no excuse on Beyond Pay? · · Score: 1

    Its not an empty boast. Most 21 year olds aren't able to find their own asses let alone live on their own and support themselves.

  3. Re:Defeats the purpose on Computers Replace Musicians In West End Musical · · Score: 1

    What if they added a randomizer subroutine to the synth software to preserve those random imperfect moments?

  4. Re:Are we at this point yet? on Computers Replace Musicians In West End Musical · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the only music comes from those who learn to play an instrument?

    Sometimes you DO need to listen to popular culture because it communicates where a society is and what it wants. With millions and millions of people around the world dancing away to hiphop and not classical theartre music, that ought to tell you something.

    As for DJ's, as with anything else some are good and others are bad. A good DJ is just as good as the best bass player or violinist.

  5. Re:I can only hope that on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 1

    Oh please it was a simple spelling mistake not a mistaken interpretation of the content of the parent's post.

  6. Re:And homer jumps a shark on a unicycle on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The Simpsons is still one of the highest rated shows on FOX.

    It is not nearing cancelation.

  7. Re:I can only hope that on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You are an idiot of unchalleneged stupidity. The parent said he hoped one of the WRITERS of the early seasons would come back to write for the movie. What part of that did you NOT understand?

  8. Re:Can you make a profit on Cybercafes - A Dying Trend? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This question is for Canadians, whats the point of having a minimum wage, if its legal for companies to pay below it? (Exceptions for waiters do not count here)

  9. I am an American. on Dream Jobs of 2004 · · Score: 1

    For Americans life is work.

    Work is life.

  10. Re:The best advice a new graduate can hear on Computer Engineering Degree Most Valuable · · Score: 1

    There's something called "The scientific process". It involves running an experiement over and over by different scientists at different times until you find out the truth.

    Untreated infection with the HIV virus leads to full blown AIDS nearly every single time. If you are so confident that it does NOT, then why not infect yourself with HIV and prove to us that it is harmless?

  11. Re:The best advice a new graduate can hear on Computer Engineering Degree Most Valuable · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You know, your words are so true and so right yet so hard to take seriously from one of the less than 3 individuals in the western world who believes the HIV virus does not cause AIDS.

  12. Desire vs. Greed on Computer Engineering Degree Most Valuable · · Score: 1

    Desire doesn't count for jack shit if you don't have the talent. A person who is only in the industry for the money may very well be a better programmer than one who started hacking C-64's in childhood.

  13. Re:Good luck to new graduates! on Computer Engineering Degree Most Valuable · · Score: 1

    Don't waste your breath. Going to college and getting a good job because you did has been the new American religion since the GI Bill. No one wants to hear that it doesn't work anymore.

  14. Re:I'm surprised... on Europe Joins Race To Send Humans To Mars · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Hey cockface, money stored in a bank account increases the assests a bank has at its disposal to make further investments, so either way spent directly or saved in a savings account it gets back into circulation.

  15. Re:so... on Trojan Horse Caused A Siberian Explosion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are an utter moron of the highest order. The US strives all the time to extend these ideals to the entire world and gets nothing but shit for our efforts. It seems apparently we're "pushing" our own views on the world when we try to lift others out of the gutters and squalor they're currently living in.

  16. Re:China is _not_ communist on Chinese Internet Censorship Proves Difficult · · Score: 1

    No he's pretty much right. The overwhelming majority of poor people in the US are losers and deserving of their station in life. For those who this is not true they will eventually rise above the others.

  17. Re:power to the people on Chinese Internet Censorship Proves Difficult · · Score: 1

    Not 15 year olds, 16 year olds. You have to be 16 to drive and to marry.

    Seeing as how 16 is only 2 years away from 18 what would be wrong with 16 year olds starring in porn things?

  18. Re:Any Slashdot readers helping out? on Chinese Internet Censorship Proves Difficult · · Score: 1

    Any human is ready for democracy. Its really not that hard for a person to make decisions for their own personal lives. To suggest otherwise is to truly believe that others are of lesser intellignece than other humans on the planet. And if that is so why not just enslave them and get it over with?

  19. Re:Where Does Europe Fit In This? on East vs. West: Culture and Distributed Development · · Score: 1

    I'm an Atheist, but isn't charity a tenet of MOST major religions today? Christianity, Islam, Judiaism , the Buddhism, Hinduism.....etc?

  20. Re:Head going to explode! on H2G2 Cast Finalized, Starts Shooting in April · · Score: 1

    No you haven't been sent to hell. You are just being reminded that mature people understand that in a complex world very few things or people are all evil or all good and thus blanket boycotts do very little good in the long run other than inconvienence yourself.

    Remember when the Southern Baptists said they were going to boycott disney? Disney didn't suffer any financial penalties because not enough people stuck with the boycott.

  21. Re:American regional differences on East vs. West: Culture and Distributed Development · · Score: 1

    I am a Northener. A Bostonian in fact. I am also however an American and want to get along and love all other Americans. Do you have any ideas on how Northeners and Southeners can get along better?

    P.S. I no longer think Southeners are stupid, just annoying. :P

  22. Re:A Nice Way of Saying on East vs. West: Culture and Distributed Development · · Score: 1

    Thats a really stupid way of life. A lot of times younger people have better ideas whereas the so called "adults" are just morons going thru the motions.

  23. Re:Where Does Europe Fit In This? on East vs. West: Culture and Distributed Development · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry. I didn't realize anyone was obligated to any amount of charity.

  24. Re:Tried unscrewing the mounting braces? on Confessions of a Mac OS X User · · Score: 1

    I had a Powerbook that I just sold on eBay. It had a 30gig HD. It was a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. I removed the HD, and placed it into my Dell Inspiron 4000. Yes it has a mounting bracket that slides out. What you may or may not fail to realize is that the mounting brackets are mind boggling easy to remove from the hard drives so you can place the drives into other laptops.

    Basically you make it sound like the drives themselves are custom when its just the drive brackets which in laptops less then oh say 5 years old are very easy to remove.

  25. Re:Makes perfect sense... on Confessions of a Mac OS X User · · Score: 2, Funny

    So you are saying you can't take an industry standard laptop drive from a Dell laptop and drop it into the industry standard laptop slot of an IBM thinkpad?
