  1. Re:US legal system is #1 on Report Claims SCO Intends to Charge IBM with Fraud · · Score: 1

    Dan Quale, of all people

    It looks like you and Dan have common inability to spell.

  2. Elections Canada on Vote Tabulator Security Hole Exposed · · Score: 1

    Elections Canada is charged merely with the tabulating of votes, it's not a partisan position such as it is in many states (especially Florida). Having representatives of each party scrutinize each vote ensures fairness, whereas the Diebolds are "black boxes" with no assurance of anything at all.

  3. I cannot believe it on California Should use Open Source and VoIP · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's a bunch of license fees for M$ to lose, Win and Office

    This must be the first post I've read in weeks where "lose" is spelt with just one "o".

  4. Editors on Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans · · Score: 1

    All I can think of is that a furby with a coke can must be the military's worse nightmare.

    I know the editors can't go around correcting everyone's submission, but they could at least insert a [sic] next to stuff that is misspelt , or with bad grammar. It would make the front page much more readable.

  5. Easy Money on Design Wanted For Antarctic Base · · Score: 1

    I think I'll just open a Superman comic and rip off the design for the Fortress of Solitude. Chaching!

  6. Episodic on Ghost in the Shell 2 in Theaters Late This Summer · · Score: 1

    It's an episodic series, so there's far more scope for tangled plots, characters development

    If it were episodic, everything would go back to way way it was at the beginning of the episode, like most sitcoms. As it is, it has a running storyline throughout.

  7. Don't forget on Building A Homebrew Robotic Lawnmower? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't forget to add some evil Battlebot settings!

  8. Re:Supplier? on Big Screen for NYPD · · Score: 1

    That's not ironic.

  9. Re:I don't know a good rate... on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How did this get modded up?
    The administration costs for our healthcare runs at about 3%, which is a fraction of what it costs for an HMO. That runs about 25% since they spend a lot of money trying to deny that you're covered for anything.

  10. Re:We're #2! on Apple Sued in France for iPod Music Royalties · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    That's pretty funny, seeing as the US Dollar is now trading at roughly the same exchange with the Euro as the Canadian dollar is to the US Dollar.

    This "weak dollar" policy of the Bush administration is likely what's drving the economy at the moment, not the silly tax cuts to the rich.

  11. Unemployment on SCO Consultant S2 Strategic Consulting In Depth · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just one example. When the same news sources reported that 5.6% unemployment under Clinton Good, but currently report that 5.6% unemployment under Bush is Bad, they're liars.

    The difference is that under Clinton, the number of jobs actually increased. Under Bush II, there's a net loss of about 2.3 million jobs.

  12. Spelling Nazi on More on Recent SCOings On · · Score: 1

    [grammer nazi] For the LAST time, Microsoft IS, sheesh..[/grammer nazi]

    That would be "grammar".

  13. This is Slashdot on Losing Control of Your TV · · Score: 1

    So shouldn't it be "loosing" control of your TV in the headlines?

  14. Re:Correct me if I am wrong on U.S. Air Force Plans for War In Space · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it was the very expensive occupation in Afghanistan which did them in. I havnen't heard much about a SDI program by the USSR.

  15. Re:There is a god! er I mean computer, dont shoot on Paranoia RPG Returns in New Edition · · Score: 1

    Within the first 30 minuets 2 players were already down 3 clones apiece

    I had no idea there was so much dancing in early 80's games. It obviously took its toll.

  16. Re:Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1

    The A-bomb has a little more to do with splitting atoms than smashing them. What you're probably talking about is an H-bomb.

  17. Re:canned response on MPAA Sued Over DVD Screener Ban · · Score: 1

    numbskull. Ironic eh?

  18. Re:Well... on E-Voting Expert Testifies · · Score: 1

    What's more than that is that they're also generally partisan (Democrat/Republican), which doesn't help matters. What's needed for a body overseeing voting that is completely non-partisan, or independent.
    They should only be concerned about counting the votes properly and that's it and avoid all of this political crap.

  19. Re:I haven't tried it yet, either on New Napster Off To A Solid Start · · Score: 1

    Or 6 Euros

  20. Re:I haven't tried it yet, either on New Napster Off To A Solid Start · · Score: 1

    Being a Canadian, I have no choice but to use piracy

    There's Puretracks (http://www.puretracks.com)

  21. Re:No on Supreme Court Will Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case · · Score: 1
    "I pledge allegiance to the flag, and to the republic for witch is stands,
    I guess this one dates back before the goings-on in Salem.
  22. Mass not weight guy on The Changing Definition Of 'Kilogram' · · Score: 4, Informative

    A kilogram is the measurement of a certain amount of matter, not it's weight. Sure the two are related, but not the same.

    A kilogram is the same on the surface of the earth, in outer space, or one the moon. Weight however, varies with gravitational pull or acdeleration.

    In other words, weight is basically the mass of on object multiplied by whatever gravitational field you happen to be in.

  23. Re:Insightful? on U.S. Government To Get Cybersecurity Chief · · Score: 1
    Dammit! I was shooting for Score: 2- 50% Bitter, 25% Democractic-Whining, 25% Get-Over-The-Florida-Elections-Already


    Democratic whining. I suppose the only people who would complain are those intersted in Democracy. That is, where people are voted into office by the electorate, not by a small cadre of appointed judges.

  24. Atheism? on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1

    If the laws were to favour atheism, the coins would say "In NO god we trust".

  25. I'm pretty sure spelling is important... on Bad News From Canada On NetTV And Media Levies · · Score: 1

    but I'm sure that he's not going to kill six million Jews to get his way.
