    Nobody can afford not having a backup solution, mind you.

    My data is worthless, you insensitive clod.

  2. Re:French fight for our freedom? on EU Authorities To Demand Reversal of Google Privacy Policy · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The French may save us yet.

    Only if a non-French general leads the troops. OR, a French general leads non-French troops.

  3. Re:Wow, dangerous on FBI Issues Android Virus Warning · · Score: 2

    Look, the random email said I had to do that crap to see the dancing baby, so I did it. You have a problem with that?

    Get a good HOSTS file. Then you're golden.

    How dare you out me like that!

    He meant your cousin Igor Phillip Freeley, but if you stay right there, the Kennebunk police have tracked your IP and will be visiting shortly for a little chat.

  6. Re:Invasion of privacy? on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    You sit at home at home and JOAC - you have a good expectation of privacy.

    That's what I keep telling my neighbors staring through the windows while I do it.

  7. Re:I recall... on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: -1, Troll

    Can women consent to donate blood?

    According to certain rad-fems, they can only consent to donate the blood of an unborn fetus.

  8. Re:Torvalds as a FOSS spokesmun on Stallman On Unity Dash: Canonical Will Have To Give Users' Data To Governments · · Score: 1

    I'd much prefer ESR

    Ahh, F/OSS' own Ted Nugent...

  9. Re:Seriously? on Pandora Shares Artist Payment Figures · · Score: 3, Funny

    You have to understand the mindset. 18 year old kids can only put out an hour of real work/day.

    You are not flogging your 18 year olds hard enough.

  10. Re:IPs parallel the discoverable world on Judge Orders Piracy Trial To Test IP Address Evidence · · Score: 1

    Can't find my link to the youtube video about the guy who is hot for this chick, turns out to be his sister, then turns out this asshole trying to chase them in the Mystery Machine is really their dad.

  11. Re:Where is the new iTunes 11? on Apple Quietly Releases New iPods · · Score: 1

    iTunes doesn't need an overhaul it needs an axe.

    Seriously Idevice sync, media player and iTunes Store should be separate apps.

    Take off. Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    TBH though, I don't have a problem with it. But if you're going to kill something, kill it with fire. Thermonuclear fire.

  12. Re:Wow, the ignorance is breathtaking on The Case That Apple Should Buy Nokia · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is full of blowhards these days.

    "I learned it from watching you!"

  13. Re:business plan on Can Google Base Ads On E-mails Sent To Gmail Accounts? · · Score: 1

    Do intelligent people pose intelligent questions by misspelling words and botching punctuation?

    It largely depends on how much they care and how much they have had to drink. Hint: Slashdot posts are not a master's thesis.

  14. Re:The old wry bumper sticker on Curiosity Spies Unidentified, Metallic Object On Mars · · Score: 1

    'The parts falling off this car are of the finest British manufacture."

    Pointless at night, since nobody with Lucas headlamps could read it.

    wouldnt it be trippy

    Damn you! Damn you all to hell!

    Cell phone 'industry' in Somalia is usually what they point to.

    It would shut the Libertarians up once and for all.

    If there were enough energy in the universe to do that, we'd have trivial faster than c travel.

    I thought that you just had to push that weird button thingie and then the atmosphere and core would spontaneously appear, quickly enough to keep everyone alive...

    Only with the right number of fingers.

    And if Ronnie Cox gets tossed out before the atmosphere thickens up enough.

  19. Re:I'm a gamer at heart on Humble eBook Bundle Lets You Pay What You Want For eBooks · · Score: 1

    Like every writer I've seen listed so far, they put out some good and they put out some crap.

    Except that Salinger guy. Every word is pure shit.

  20. Re:Return of terminals on Will the Desktop PC Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    There was an article on slashdot about that thing recently. It seems that from a technical perspective, it was subpar, lacking RAM on the phone. From a business/cultural perspective, it also sucked. It was overpriced and required a data tethering plan from your cell provider. Doomed to fail.

  21. Re:Are these guys kidding? on Will the Desktop PC Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    I found it quite interesting that they used duct tape and glue to hold it together. (imac 20 intel)

    I think you mean 'Speed Tape' and 'high performance polymer adhesive'.

  22. Re:Yes on Will the Desktop PC Live Forever? · · Score: 2

    I make my living off Mainframes, you insensitive clod!

    And some people make their living on restoring Model T Fords. Doesn't mean many people want to buy one at the showroom today or that it's a field ripe for growth.

  23. Re:In a post-lemming world on Will the Desktop PC Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    And on Android devices, doesn't it vary by OEM?

  24. Obligatory onion article on Study: Kids Under 3 Should Be Banned From Watching TV · · Score: 2

    I'm just gonna leave the obligatory Onion article here. (Note, at the time I began composing this, nobody else had posted a link, nor had the inevitable "I don't own/watch a tv" posts started"

  25. I don't know how to post on Flaws Allow Every 3G Device To Be Tracked · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I'm not sure how to post. Usually when there is a cellular article, it's obvious whether I'll be upmodded with anti-Apple or anti-Android comments. So, pro-Maemo and call it a day?
