  1. Re:It's working on The Mexican Cartel's Hi-Tech Drug Tunnels · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Tons of people are habitual users of opiates yet lead productive lives. Look at how many people regularly take Oxycontin and the like.

  2. Re:Zero results on Site Offers History of Torrent Downloads By IP · · Score: 1

    That's frighteningly close to the settings I use.

  3. Re:I'll stand up and say it: on Site Offers History of Torrent Downloads By IP · · Score: 1

    "It's a Wonderful Life" is a horrible movie.
        The only reason it's remembered is because it fell into the public domain.

      see you in Hell, modpoints!

    Did you even read your own link? To whit:

    What is remarkable about "It's a Wonderful Life" is how well it holds up over the years; it's one of those ageless movies, like "Casablanca" or "The Third Man," that improves with age.

  4. Re:Geez, we're down to scare tactics now, huh on Site Offers History of Torrent Downloads By IP · · Score: 1

    It also tended to cut down on the number of out of wedlock little bastards running around.

  5. Re:Privacy on Many Early Adopters of the Amazon Fire Are Unhappy · · Score: 1

    it's password-protected, because it's my toy, and no one else's.

    From the sounds of it, you're just deathly afraid that a couple of children will toss your precious into the nearest volcano.

  6. Re:Not military on Predator Drone Helps Nab Cattle Rustlers · · Score: 1

    Possibly. Moonshiners can get awful ornery when you fuck with their stills. Southerners may be ignorant, redneck savages, but they can also be quite dangerous in their home environment.

  7. Re:The smart ones... on Facebook Could Spawn Thousands of Milionaires · · Score: 1

    Slashdot dying?!? Such blasphemy.

    Quick, someone check with Netcraft!

  8. Re:The smart ones... on Facebook Could Spawn Thousands of Milionaires · · Score: 1

    First of all, do you realize who you just wrote a reply to? You just replied to me, damn_registrars, who you previously made a policy of not replying to. Why are you getting all wishy-washy and flip-floppy on us?

    I think roman_mir can identify with this scene with respect to you.

  9. Re:Government responsible says, 'Look, commies'. on Was Russia Behind Stuxnet? · · Score: 1

    You mess with the bull, you get the horns.

  10. Re:My Pet Rock Is Better on TSA Facing Death By a Thousand Cuts · · Score: 1

    150lb flight attendant? Need better airline.

  11. Re:My Pet Rock Is Better on TSA Facing Death By a Thousand Cuts · · Score: 1

    What sort of magical handgun rounds were you using where through and through was likely? 10mm or 45, ok, but the far more common .22 and .38sp? I don't think so. Unless we are talking about limb hits.

    Heck, many law enforcement organizations went to .40 because 9mm won't reliably stop your average lardassed American.

  12. Re:Suggestion to astronauts, private and otherwise on 2nd SpaceX Demo Flight Slated For Feb. 7 · · Score: 1

    He mentioned God (god) in a non-negative fashion. Someone on slashdot is bound to say they're glad he's dead.

  13. Re:Apollo 1 on 2nd SpaceX Demo Flight Slated For Feb. 7 · · Score: 1

    That would be insightful if it weren't for the fact that the moon landings are fake. How is a big platter of cheese supposed to support a lunar lander?

  14. Re:Uh oh. on Juror's Tweets Overturn Trial Verdict · · Score: 1

    He's ignorant - but, as someone with a lower UID than you, I find you guilty of being a cockbag.

    Ditto.

    Cockbag.

  15. Re:one on The Unique Candidates of the New Hampshire Primary · · Score: 1

    If nothing else, Brooke Baldwin video is helpful, particularly if you need to rub out a quick one at work.

  16. Re:Civil disobedience. on India Moves To Censor Social Media · · Score: 1

    Feh. What would an Indian know about Civil Disobedience?

  17. Re:I'm offended on India Moves To Censor Social Media · · Score: 1

    Wait a second. The answer to #1 is "no"? How the hell do you write a Constitution in such a way that it doesn't require interpretation? Even a plain English sentence requires interpretation, let alone something written a couple hundred years ago because of changes in language.

    I'm sure the belief that one need not interpret the Constitution is a result of such brilliance as: A=A.

  18. Re:Pentax already got bought out on The Rise and Fall of Kodak · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it varies by country/region?

    Perhaps ironic, but the first SLR I remember was my father's Pentax K1000... that he always loaded with Kodak film.

  19. Re:Yep, Apple is well known for stagnant tech on The Rise and Fall of Kodak · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Jedidiah has some sort of anti-Apple Tourette's. Any article on slashdot can be twisted by him in some manner to make a snide anti-Apple comment. I have to wonder if Steve Jobs did (or didn't?) touch him as a young boy.

  20. Re:Queue Elevator Music... on Filmmakers Reviving Sci-fi By Going Old School · · Score: 1

    It would have been a bit funny, after a particular epic part, or moving dialog, if ship officers got into the tubolift and just stood there awkwardly, staring at the walls or floor, waiting to get to destination, while cheesy music plays. Extra points if it actually has to stop somewhere a long the way and pick up a red shit or something...

    A red 'shit'? Bad enough those guys are the cannon fodder of the universe, but now you are calling them shits?

  21. Re:Poking / Probing Iran's air defenses . . . ? on Iran's Military Claims To Have Downed US Surveillance Drone · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. That drone ain't dead until Netcraft confirms it.

  22. Re:sold to china on Iran's Military Claims To Have Downed US Surveillance Drone · · Score: 1

    Err, just like we would have had less trouble in WWII if we dropped Britain as a "ally"?

    Or are you the type of person who would throw his girlfriend or wife to the mugger, so long as you kept your wallet?

    Considering what a trollop the girlfriend is in this case, the mugger can have her.

  23. Re:How to elect Ron Paul: on Fed Gave Banks Eye-Popping Emergency Loans, Without Telling Congress · · Score: 1

    Ron Paul and what Congress?

  24. Re:Nice thought, however not close to reality. on Mexican Gov't Shuts Down Zetas' Secret Cell Network · · Score: 2

    That's wine, not distilled spirits. Totally different thing.

    I think it was a malformed quote. Relax.
