  1. Re:Partially Not Not true on Game Boy Zelda Comes With Source, Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Wordpress has nothing on older versions of moveabletype.

  2. Re:Can we... on Interconnecting Wind Farms To Smooth Power Production · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yup, just attach bit turbines inline with the intertubes that deliver the World Wide Mail.

  3. Obligatory on NBC Direct Launches With Free Downloads · · Score: 4, Informative

    Link to the site itself since TFS doesn't include one.

  4. Well on Is a Domain Name an Automatic Trademark? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Question: Is a Domain Name an Automatic Trademark?

    Answer: Ask a lawyer not Slashdot.

  5. Re:Mighty? on Genetic Modification Produces Mighty Mouse · · Score: 1

    Maybe this modification just makes mice stupid.

    Well remember, humans are only the third smartest creatures on Earth. After dolphins and mice . . . so what does that say about you ;)

  6. My number one complaint on Slashdot's Setup, Part 2- Software · · Score: 4, Insightful

    (Didn't know we support HTTPS, did ya? It's one of the perks for subscribers: you get to read Slashdot on the same webhead that admins use, which is always going to be responsive even during a crush of traffic -- because if it isn't, Rob's going to breathe down our necks!)

    Yes, it's a nice perk, but a even nicer perk would be to let everybody at least login through HTTPS. Weren't we bashing companies earlier for not using SSL by default for logins?

  7. Re:In Defense of Bush (sorta) on FBI Coerced Confession Deemed "Classified" · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Uh oh, a rational semi-positive thought about Bush that hasn't been downmodded to death. I wonder if it's too late to buy "Hell-Freezing Over" Insurance.

  8. Re:Wow, so many people bitching on Geek and Gadgets Set Cross-US Speed Record · · Score: 1

    You're 100x more likely to be killed by some retard running a red light because they're talking on their cellphone than you are to be killed by a trained driver going at high speed on a deserted road in a carefully prepared and well instrumented car.

    Yes because him driving 120+ on a slicked rainy road while weaving in and out of dense traffic to avoid the police is a 'deserted road.'

    Don't let your ignorance of rational thought stop you.

  9. Re:Was the original ad all that offensive? on Google's Ban of an Anti-MoveOn.org Ad · · Score: 1

    Aghahahahghahgha @ #2, so great.

  10. Re:Success = Strong Leader + Initial Codebase on What is the Best Way to Start a Paid GPL Project? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd recommend the above except for going to RentACoder/eLance for an Alpha. I can almost guarantee you that anybody who wants to contribute to a GPL project will absolutely hate having to figure out whatever spaghetti code that the bottom-dollar code shop spat out.

  11. Solution looking for a Problem on Jon Udell on the Nerd's Spreadsheet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In a Resolver spreadsheet, these objects are visually persistent. I haven't yet got my hands on Resolver, but here's an example of what I think that will mean. Suppose that I have a data set I want to transform, against which I'm testing five different versions of a transformation function. I'd put the data in cell A1, the functions in cells B1..B5, and the results in C1..C5. Now I'll see everything at a glance.

    That . . . sounds just like a normal spreadsheet to me.
    Solution looking for a problem?

  12. Re:Shouldn't this be written somewhere? on World's Five Biggest SANs · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is slashdot, if you dont know what SAN stands for, please turn in your geek card and report to Digg.

  13. The trick is to allow sharing only between people with the same provider, when data transactions are free.

    Sounds like multicasting . . . good things the ISPs have implemented this also . . . oh wait.

  14. BioShock: A Pretty Well-Executed Kick in the Balls on BioShock Review · · Score: -1, Redundant
  15. Re:Pay for SchedulesDirect--they're good people on No More TV Listings For MythTV Users · · Score: 1

    Then look in your TV Guide, comes free with your paper (if you get one).

  16. Re:Two words! JELLO WRESTLING! on GPL Hindering Two-Way Code Sharing? · · Score: 1

    Stop trying to use the GPL as leverage in stealing code from others.

    Uh oh, developers are using the BSD license in the way that it was intended, somebody call the wambulance.

  17. Re:No low-cost option left on NBC Universal Drops iTunes · · Score: 2

    Guess what's my other alternative?

    NOT WATCHING IT.

    God damn I'm tired of these replies, last time I checked there wasn't an inalienable right to get every single TV show you wanted whenever you want it when you want it. So you can get it where you live? Well then consider $TVSHOW an opportunity cost for living where you do.

    Buck up and stop whining about it.

  18. Um on Where To Find Opus On Sunday · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm sure I'm not the only one, but What is Opus, and why should I care?

  19. I'm sure for what they paid . . on U of CA Constructs 220 Million Pixel Display · · Score: 1

    . . . they could have found a better solution that didn't have the bevels.

  20. Re:Intentionally misleading on DMCA Means You Can't Delete Files On Your PC? · · Score: 1

    Well when you try to print it more then you're allowed you get a nice:

    "Sorry! You have already printed this coupon the number of times allowed."

    error message. I dont know how else they're supposed to phrase it.

  21. So wait? on Bad Movie Physics Hurt Scientific Understanding · · Score: 4, Funny

    A shotgun can't launch a guy backwards 10 feet through a window?

  22. Re:TOR on See Who Is Whitewashing Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They don't need Tor, they could just create sockpuppet accounts like everyone else who trolls Wikipedia, and hide their IP that way.

    Checkuser anyone?

  23. Re:Official PostgreSQL fanboi thread here :-) on MySQL Ends Enterprise Server Source Tarballs · · Score: 1

    No offense, but I doubt the people that need to use cPanel could figure out how to use Postgres.

  24. Newsflash on FBI Raids Home of Suspected NSA Leaker · · Score: 1

    shows the administration's misplaced priorities: using FBI agents to track down leakers instead of processing intel

    Just like not everybody at your work is a CEO, not everybody at the FBI processes Intel.

  25. Re:Star Wars Fakeout on Nukes Against Earth-Impacting Asteroids · · Score: 1

    The chances of getting hit by an asteroid are extremely small.

    It's clear that there is a slim to none chance of getting hit by an asteroid, after all the moon is in pristine shape with absolutely zero crater impacts on it.

    I think you need to unscrew your tinfoil cap a bit.
