  2. Re:Bullshit on Was the iPod Accessory Port Inspired By a 40-Year-Old Camera? · · Score: 1

    The headline says "inspired by", not "pin compatible with". Your comment is bullshit. Bad slashdot commenter. No cheetoes. Go to your basement.

    Daring Fireball linked to a nice piece regarding the size of iOS phones and music players that echos your sentiments.

    Let's shatter the used cat market,

    Why would there be ANY used cat market? How are they useful after you scrape them out of your boots' treads?

  6. Re:Welcome to Canada? on NY Senators Want To Make Free Speech A Privilege · · Score: 1

    It can be annoying at times, but it keeps the holocaust deniers at bay.

    What holocaust deniers?

    What holocaust?

    They are concerned that people will be convinced by the holocaust deniers.

    Look at the US -- no restrictions on holocaust deniers -- and I bet they don't even believe WWII happened!

    Of course we believe WWII happened. We couldn't hold it over the heads of the French, British, and Japanese if it had never happened.

  9. Re:heh on Amazon Disables 3G Web Browsing For New 3G Kindle Touch · · Score: 1

    Note that I'm not saying that I actually watch movies on it. I was saying that just because it's possible, it doesn't mean that there is no place for TVs.

    Thanks for clarifying. I thought you were explaining why sex in a diving suit is no fun for you.

    Is that Sonny and Cher I hear singing?

  11. M/F relationships and movie about former wife on Ask William Shatner Whatever You'd Like · · Score: 2

    Having been in both successful and not so successful relationships, what leads to one or the other?

    In addition (sorry, I've got two questions) are you still working on The Shiva Club (which wikipedia says was to have been inspired by Nerine's disease)?

  12. Re:That's evil! on Facebook Files For a Patent To Track Its Users On Other Sites · · Score: 1

    So much for Darth Sidious/Palpatine being evil. This is evil concentrate.

    You're looking for a Time Bandits reference there.

    We should be breeding this trait RIGHT NOW.

    Well, he did refer to himself as a "suburban dad" - so he's been doing his part...

    That's what his wife wants him to think anyway. Looking up rates of superfecundation is an exercise for the reader.

  15. Re:Let's get physical. on Google Opens First Retail Outlet In London · · Score: 1

    Right, because Google is a totally, 100% un-evil advertising firm.

  16. Re:What are they going to sell? on Google Opens First Retail Outlet In London · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If you had RTFA, you would see that they are going to sell Chromebooks and things to go with them like headphones. Yeah, it would have been a great idea to put it in the summary, too bad they didn't... No, wait, there it is. In the summary:

    sells Google's Chromebook laptop and a few accessories such as headphones,

    What I want to know is what other computers one can get for 349 pounds.

  17. It may be 2011 on Florida Reduces Penalties For 'Sexting' Teens · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But Puritanism is alive and well in the United States.

    I find it ironic that some of those complaining loudest about the impending Sharia Law in the US and Europe are among those most likely to demand various Levitical Laws in the US.

    He can't figure out why everybody had a giant party on the evening of December 31, 1999 either.

  19. Re:I hope the plot is better than the series on A Game of Thrones RTS Game Released, RPG On the Way · · Score: 1

    He probably doesn't realize that political machinations are more universal, more entertaining, and a better test of writers, directors, and actors. I've read the first four books (waiting for paperback for number five) and the TV show did a great job of translating.

    Differences between jail-time and financial penalties notwithstanding, where's the difference, exactly?

    Prison rape is a pretty substantial difference.

    Losing the right to vote, the right to gun ownership, the right to freely travel (without checking in with a PO)...

  23. Re:What's missing here? on Libraries Release Most-Censored Books List · · Score: 1

    Maybe because liberals don't believe that censoring conservatives is justified and believe in respecting the views of others even if they disagree with them. Notably to respect their rights to air views even if you utterly despise those views.

    Right, because political correctness is the result of right wingers. David Horowitz is a complete chode, but there is an inkling of truth in his rants concerning university thought police.
