  1. Re:The only absurd part of this... on Sell Someone Else's Book On Lulu! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Stephen King novels older than 2 years should be priced at $0.75

    I think we should also take their literary value into account -- make it $0.50 instead. :)

  2. Re:Nah... on Google's New Scheme To Avoid Unlicensed Music · · Score: 1

    Rock and Roll, part 2

    Bonus points for using Doctorin' the TARDIS ?

  3. Re:iFirst on Apple Loses Aussie Trademark Complaint Over "i" Name · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Intel's ill-gotten-gains on Nvidia Waiting In the Wings In FTC-Intel Dispute · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and back in the real world, what real restitution have Microsoft provided for violations equal to (if not worse than) Intel's?

  5. Re:Middle-class White Guy? on William Gibson's Neuromancer Staged With Porn Star · · Score: 1

    I thought the point was that Gibson *is* a middle-class white guy... he can't really speak about his experience as a black man, can he?

  6. Re:Wow on Skype's Legal Situation Clears · · Score: 1

    ... again.

  7. Re:We're doomed!! on Console Makers Worry Over Apple's Growing Competition · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I only wish my bank account was as doomed as Nintendo's must be right now.

  8. Re:Humm .. on Russia's New Official Holiday — Programmer's Day · · Score: 3, Funny

    At 2:30?

  9. Really? on Sam Ramji, Microsoft's Open Source Guru, Is Moving On · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sam Ramji... made real differences to how Microsoft treats open source and how open source people view Microsoft.

  10. Re:not to be a douche... on Microsoft To Offer Windows 7 On USB Thumb Drives? · · Score: 1

    I think one of the upgrade disks (95-98?) would accept itself as a qualifying version of Windows. Seemed like an odd idea to me.

  11. Re:lithium is well known on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 1

    So I should keep living purely to make other people feel better? Self-worth, here I come.

  12. Re:lithium is well known on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 1

    Regardless of what you want, it's inhumane to confess your shit to another person and then expect them to take any action other than the one that preempts exposure to guilt over a life lost.

    Your issues with guilt are not my concern. If I want to commit suicide, obviously matters of "humanity or inhumanity" are probably not the highest problems on my agenda.

  13. Re:lithium is well known on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I also know that if they're not terminally ill, it can and should be prevented.

    Care to back up that assertion of moral authority? My body, my choice.

  14. Re:Wait a second... on Europe Funds Secure Operating System Research · · Score: 1

    they probably run AmigaOS too

    Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You disparaged my chosen operating system. Prepare to die.

  15. Re:Dead on.... wish I had mod-points... on The Perils of Pointless Innovation In Games · · Score: 5, Informative

    Hey!

  16. Re:Because of the Toynbee tiles on Why Does the US Have a Civil Space Program? · · Score: 1

    More like a warning to remind us of the perils of not taking our medication.

  17. Re:flippant American answer on NZ File-Sharers, Remixers Guilty Upon Accusation · · Score: 1

    Rephrase it to 'the ones who get shot and die', and we can add McKinley and exclude Reagan. Still left with Huey Long though.

  18. Re:You mean on Microsoft Rumored To Lay Off Thousands Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Surely going to prison should mean your Slashdot posting rights are revoked?

  19. Re:Summary gets GPU prices wrong on Breaking Down the Dropping Parts Cost for Sony's PS3 · · Score: 1

    Is it really too much to ask for the slightest bit of editing?

    You must be new here (tm).

  20. Re:what happened to you, Austrailia? on Australia To Block BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    The country was already settled, white man.

  21. Re:While all the news is about Aussie censorship on Aussie Censorship "Live Trials" Won't Be Live · · Score: 1

    Australia Post, although it wouldn't make much difference.
    SBS, ditto.
    The ABC?

  22. Re:While all the news is about Aussie censorship on Aussie Censorship "Live Trials" Won't Be Live · · Score: 1

    Labor under Rudd are no further right than they were under Keating & Hawke. His government hasn't sold any banks yet, for example.

  23. Re:Text only, no html on Bush Administration's E-Mail Deluge May Overload Archive System · · Score: 1

    I agree completely.

    When not on Slashdot we're expected to read the message we reply to.

    Deleting the bit that's already answered, not relevant or whatever can hardly be called 'editing', it has more to do with comprehension.

    One of the worst things for the latter is a typical corporate Outlook mail exchange (I know that word...) with at the bottom text that hasn't been read for the last ten replies.

  24. Re:Southern Crosstikas on Raising Doubts About Australia's Broadband Upgrade Plan · · Score: 1

    surreptitious nationalism

    Surreptitious? It's overt nationalism and racism if you ask me, and I was born here.

  25. Re:English names only? on IBM's Teri-is-a-Girl-and-Terry-is-a-Boy Patent · · Score: 1

    What about Marion Morrison -- er, John Wayne?
