  1. I dunno, let's ask Florian Mueller on Should Developers Support Windows Phone 8? · · Score: 1

    Then do the exact opposite of what he advises.

  2. Re:Oracle vs Google on How Apple v. Samsung Was Explained To the Jury · · Score: 1

    Plus Samsung had many similar prototypes in the works before the iPhone even debuted

    Judge Affirmative Action there just denied Samsung the opportunity to show those prototypes to the jury though, so that's not a factor. Then they went and released that info - you know, fact - to the press. Let the shitstorm commence.

  3. Re:Average the measurements before you take them on Surfacestations: NOAA Has Overestimated Land Surface Temperature Trends · · Score: 1

    Yup, the climate change industry is simply an economic evolution of Catholic guilt.

    Evil supplicants, see what vague, impossible to disprove tormets thou wilt suffer in some indeterminate future as punishment for your sins, yeah, unto the seventh generation. Now, crawl on your knees, crawl and obtain your indulgences. $20 each, buy three get one free, hurry, hurry, we can't hold these craaaazy prices for long.

  4. Re:Based on previous works... on Peter Jackson Announces Third Hobbit Movie · · Score: 1

    Missing too much, but with unnecessary extra stuff viciously shoehorned in, somewhat like "an axe embedded in the nervous system" of Tolkien's oeuvre.

    Jackson can film them fine, but he can't write them worth a damn. Less might be more in this case.

  5. Bloated irrelevant dinosaur reviews same on CowboyNeal Reviews Oracle Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    See Subject.

  6. Re:Look on "Bomb Threat" Tweet Conviction Overturned By UK Appeals Court · · Score: 1

    You are trolling, because you know fine well that no reasonable person would treat this case as a real threat.

    Surprise me, deal with specifics, don't just wave your hands and walk away, chuckling. You know better than that. You - we - have been around long enough to know what we're doing.

  7. Re:Incorrect on "Bomb Threat" Tweet Conviction Overturned By UK Appeals Court · · Score: 1

    Women are more vindictive and petty than men, and I'm not talking generalities here, I'm speaking to the specifics of prosecution of cases in the various territories of the United Kingdom.

  8. Re:What for? on An Olympic Games For Enhanced Athletes? · · Score: 1
    1. That's loser talk, nerd.
    2. Many (not all) athletes don't really have any other career options.
    3. "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered." ~George Best
  9. Paris, people, PARIS on McDonald's Denies Prof's Claim Staff Attacked Him For Wearing Digital Glasses · · Score: 1

    He probably just forgot to approach the counter on his knees, humbly begging messieurs' permission for disturbing them.

  10. Well, we do have a surplus population on Why Junk Electronics Should Be Big Business · · Score: 2

    What matter if a handful, or I dare say more than a handful, of the undeserving poor be obliged to toil in the Reclamation Mines? To what better use can they put their meagre bodies than to serving their fellow Man by prying the riches of El Dorada from the cast offs of their betters?

    Indeed, it shall doubtless enrich their souls, even as it puts food in their swollen, suppurating bellies, and seven toes on their endless broods of mewling, conjoined offspring. Two heads, it is said, are better than one, and many of our Reclamation Miners shall grow to enjoy those benefits first-hand.

  11. Re:I don't get it on Apple Wins Mobile Patent On Displaying Lists, Documents · · Score: 1

    The US business model is increasingly to find employment for lawyers. If society were run by ghouls, car crashes would be positively encouraged.

    Actually... given how many lawyers feed their broods by chasing ambulances, I'm not sure that even qualifies as an analogy.

  12. 1UP moans that everyone is is doing it wrong. on The Problem With Metacritic · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, all smart, discerning, handsome, virile, gamers can still get their properly graded reviews from 1UP. Phew!

  13. Re:Sucks to be a used PC reseller... on Richard Stallman Speaks About UEFI · · Score: 1

    When discussing a company whose motto might as well be "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish", slippery slopes are apropos.

    Also, yo momma was an ad hominem.

  14. How's your stock portfolio, Melinda? on Melinda Gates Pledges $560 Million For Contraception · · Score: 0, Troll

    Rubbers looking soft? Pharma on a downer? Announce half a billion of tax-free "donations", attract many billions more in taxpayer "partnerships", and watch those share prices surge and thrust rampantly upwards again.

  15. CETA on EU Commission: CETA 'Totally Different From ACTA' · · Score: 1

    GTFO.

    That is all.

  16. Re:I think I figured it out. on Formspring Hacked - 420,000 Password Hashes Leaked · · Score: 2

    ForumSpring Engineers really shouldn't have answered the question, "How do I hack the ForumSpring servers?"

    Heh, I refer you to A Logic Named Joe. It predicted the personal computer, the internet, search engines, and the real uses which most people would find for them. In 1946. Nineteen. Forty. Six.

  17. He's not *that* honest on RIM CEO On What Went Wrong · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm curious why you decided to take the helm at RIM?

    Surely it should be: Money, Al. Huge, heaving, throbbing piles of money, more money than you'll ever see in your entire life, more money than you can possibly imagine.

    No matter how much of this festering dinosaur I have to carve off and throw to the dino-wolves, there will still be more than I can eat, and I'm going to gorge myself on its rotting corpse until we're down to the lips and asshole.

  18. This isn't good versus evil on Kim Dotcom Offers the DoJ a Deal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's a bunch of fat worthless leeches trying to kill a tick that's fastened on to them

    There's no good guy here, it's just parasites vying to see who has the biggest stomach. If only there's a way that they can all lose.

  19. Amateur protestors vs professional lobbyists on Bye ACTA, Hello CETA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is the lobbyists 9-5 (well, 11-3 including a 2 hour expenses lunch) job. It's just going to go on and on and on, and they will never stop, ever, regardless of either setback or success. There won't be enough profit or laws or mandatory nagware or State enforcement to satisfy them, because this is what they do. This is all that they do.

    While we won the battle on the barricades, they continued the war by creeping in through the sewers. They're in this for the duration, and so we have to be too.

  20. "Failed?" on Criminals Distribute Infected USB Sticks In Parking Lot · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many time they succeeded silently before they got busted and stopped because (nobody laugh) a "warning" was issued.

    And the Security Kabuki goes on.

  21. Re:Backwards country on Nobel Laureate Wiped From Pakistan's Textbooks As Heretic · · Score: 1

    I want to talk about Pakistan's censorship, its origins, the government's various motives, how Pakistanis have dealt with this in the past, and how they deal with this in the future.

    I notice that you didn't though, so the only "signal" you contributed was meta-moaning about Slashdot. Easy to see what really interests you.

  22. Re:Is this only for tablets on Microsoft: Windows 8 To RTM In August · · Score: 1

    the Linux desktop

    Yes, the Linux developer has really sorted that out.

    You're probably new here, but there are quite a few desktops out there, which is one of the main problems with getting Cathy Corporate to switch.

  23. Re:Only thing bad about Win8 is Metro on Microsoft: Windows 8 To RTM In August · · Score: 1

    Boots and is then fully usable in 25 seconds? Windows 7 boots to the desktop sharply enough for me, but woe betide me if I make the mistake of thinking that I can then do anything with it.

  24. Re:Original anouncement (from Microsoft, not PCPPr on Microsoft: Windows 8 To RTM In August · · Score: 3, Funny

    Anyone else reading that as "Windows Millstones"? Just you, me, and all their "partners", I suspect.

  25. Re:Oh just wait on UCLA Develops World's Fastest Camera To Hunt Down Cancer In Real Time · · Score: 1

    Still not a high enough frame rate to track Kari Byron's polychromatic hair in real time though.
