  1. Re:Freedom isn't Free on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    As opposed to leading the revolution by whining on Slashdot? Physician, heal thyself.

  2. ORLY? on Newly Discovered Bacteria Could Aid Oil Cleanup · · Score: 1

    What do they feed them on while breeding them up in the lab in sufficient quantities to be useful? Snake oil?

  3. As "previously thought" by WHOM? on Porn Sites More Infected Than Thought · · Score: 1

    [citation needed], [weasel words] and so on. Personally, I assume that porn sites are just as infected as their on screen talent. Who thought they weren't?

  4. Re:As they should be. on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    When your choice of government is between Tweedledum and Tweedledee, in what way are you "deciding" to sanction their common policies, i.e. that "nobody watches the watchman"? You're only voting on the very few superficial differences between them.

  5. Re:Give him a Nobel Prize on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree that the documents should be published, but let's be clear that the "pay back" (in retaliation from Excitable Types) will be against US citizens, not against any member of the ruling cabal. They, and their creatures in the Legacy Media, will lay the blame for the consequences against the leakers, not the speakers.

  6. It's a trick! on Judge Rejects SCO's Motion For a New Trial · · Score: 1
  7. Wow, that's some excuse for the chord cheats on Theremin Guitar Hero · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I hooked up a 1 axis motion sensor to my head, presumably it wouldn't be "cheating" either if I played all the notes by moshing in time and having the "bot" hit all the notes and chords for me?

    Still, nerd chick in corset and candy wig, so partial credit.

  8. Clark is all right on Microsoft a Weak Link In Possible Cyber War · · Score: 4, Informative

    Remember, he was the guy who warned Rice and President Cheney about an imminent Al Qaeda attack. Or depending how you view it, failed to convince them of it. Still, as ass covering goes, his was iron clad.

  9. Re:That's cute and everything.... on MINI-ITX and the Future of PC Case Design? · · Score: 4, Funny

    people are working hard to cut down on heat.

    They'd be more successful if they took it easy.

  10. Re:optical illusion on MINI-ITX and the Future of PC Case Design? · · Score: 1

    The first case is microATX, which (in typical "99% of people over-use hyperbole" fashion) is larger than miniATX.

  11. Re:Decrease, not increase on Solar Cell Inventor Wins Millennium Prize · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess if hypocritical hectoring is your only remaining pleasure, you've earned it with your hair shirt.

  12. Why are they rewarding failure? on Solar Cell Inventor Wins Millennium Prize · · Score: 2

    There's a market crying out for efficient photovoltaic cells. If Graetzel's cells did what he claimed, then he'd already be swimming in the gold moat surrounding his platinum castle. Enough with rewarding promising looking theory: it's time to amp up or GTFO.

  13. Re:Decrease, not increase on Solar Cell Inventor Wins Millennium Prize · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do we need to stop using our computers to tell others to do as we say, not as we do? Apparently not.

  14. Re:So... on Canonical Developing Ubuntu OS For Tablets · · Score: 1

    To counter your counter example, I have an Asus EEE 1001, and had to compile the forking WiFi drivers from source, under both Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04. No big deal for me and thee, but for 99% of Windows/MacOS users, that's a FAIL.

    If you are selling hardware, only offer ubuntu on machines which you know it is compatible with

    I'd recommend that you never start a business, as you seem to have missed the point that it's future updates that break it, and that returns kill retail. FAIL.

    provide the customers with literature which explains the benefits of linux,

    If you need to read about how it works, then it's... FAIL.

    Incidentally, when it comes to updates breaking things

    There's no "incidentally" about that. It's the GP's entire point. Utter and total FAIL.

  15. Re:not motivated by money? on Mark Zuckerberg, In It To Change the World? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about Dr. Horrible? Same story--give me infinite power, and I'll make things better.

    Infinite power as a poor second choice to Felicia Day. See also: food, oxygen.

  16. Re:XP is the 90's? on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why is the first post modded Redundant?

    Because we don't have an "-1 Obvious" mod.

    Although in this case it's both obvious and significant, so it's a little harsh.

  17. Re:Slashdot is NOT helping here... on The Star Wars Kid Is Back · · Score: 0

    "Most painful" or not, the Infamous Incident in the Captain's Ready Room was only an allegation.

  18. Re:The BCS is an irrelevance on British Computer Society Is Officially At Civil War · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've always viewed it as a cabal of ancient gummy git-wizards, with a three foot beard and lifetime membership of the Campaign for Real Ale being pre-requisites for membership.

    As far as I can see it, the current Grand High Git-Wizard rescued the BCS from total irrelevance, and is actually in danger of making it an organisation with a purpose. This angers the other git-wizards, who want to get back to the real business of the BCS: finally concluding the debate over whether the PDP-11 was a retrograde step from the PDP-8.

  19. Re:EXCELLENT interview! on Cory Doctorow On For the Win, Gold Farming, and DRM · · Score: 1

    Woody Allen did it in 1973. Roll on the Orgasmatron.

  20. Re:Awesome density? on US Confirms Underwater Oil Plume · · Score: 1

    Person Whose Job Depends On Crying Wolf Cries Wolf.

    Sure, it's bad, but it's not ZOMG END OF TEH WORLD bad. And even if it were, shrieking about isn't helping, it's just... shrieking.

  21. Re:Nothing to do but wait on US Confirms Underwater Oil Plume · · Score: 1

    In short, you find a turd in your coffee, and "deal" with it by pushing it under the surface before you swallow it down.

  22. Re:McGuyverism Triumphs Again on Chinese Internet Addiction Boot Camp Prison Break · · Score: 1

    Dude. Dude. Step away from the bong.

  23. Re:A Little Advice on Anti-Speed Camera Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know you're just a total and utter slashtard and not someone who actually wants to help him out, but since there's not a snowball's chance in hell that he'll actually read your post, why don't you use the email address that he provides (in clear) to send him your inspiring missive? Just a bit of friendly advice.

  24. Re:If the patent is ruled valid... on Human Gene Patent Challenged In Australian Court · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because they'd get counter-sued for producing more of them in violation of the patent?

    Actually, I may have just seen why allowing the patenting of (pre existing) genes is insane in the membrane.

  25. Re:video games are an escape from reality on Chinese Internet Addiction Boot Camp Prison Break · · Score: 2, Insightful

    modern china is a brutal corporatist authoritarian nightmare, the worst of communism and capitalism, mushed together as a hybrid schizophrenic hell

    Somewhat verbose. Modern China is joining the industrial revolution, just a couple of hundred years late to the party. It's not like what's happening there is unprecedented.
