  1. Anti Link Sites are born... on Google's Fight Against 'Low-Quality' Sites Continues · · Score: 2

    If I have a site that google has identified as a "bad link source", I can sell that as a service so companies can lower the rank of their competition.

    Of course, Dr Suess saw this long ago http://www.squidoo.com/thesneetches.

  2. Chrome + Salt = Rust on Google x86 Native Browser Client Maybe Not So Crazy After All · · Score: 1

    Seems google took more than the tech talent from the rotting corpse of Bell Labs. They seem to have captured the marketing folks as well.

  3. 'V'+1, 'M'+1, 'S'+1 ? on Intel Unveils Next Gen Itanium Processor · · Score: 1

    Were there features left out?

  4. Re:Itanium flashbacks on Intel Unveils Next Gen Itanium Processor · · Score: 4, Funny

    | I work with the world's foremost experts on optimizing for Itanium 2....

    So when your whole team orders lunch, do you get a medium pizza or a large?

  5. Re:Stupid stupid stupid on Quad Core, Thunderbolt In New MacBook Pros · · Score: 1

    |The "Th" in Thunderbolt is not going to be well-received in non-English-speaking countries.

    Perhaps not, but it will give people in English speaking countries something to snicker at and make awkward impersonations of. Passes the time while the empire crumbles.

  6. Re:Privacy on Talking To Computers? · · Score: 1

    That is hilarious! I've never had to setup a broadcom card, I guess, but wow, the instructions on http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 would make Terry Gilliam proud.

    I Love the way the howto treats people like they are the shell; it would be so much better if the computer could talk. You could have that warm feeling of being lambasted by a European Gym Teacher with a hormone imbalance.

  7. I'll bite... on Apple in Talks to Improve Sound Quality of Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    So, if I switched to CDs, will I hear children being molested in any other of Michaels works? Sorry to not mod you up, but I spent my points on cheap whores and crack.

  8. uhh... on Voice of America Site Forced Offline By 'Iranian Cyber Army' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The BBC is a legitimate and well respected news organization. VoA is about as close to a news organization as that Fox News Parody with Chris Wallace.

  9. sharks on Physicists Build Bigger 'Bottles' For Antimatter · · Score: 2

    Can they mount the anti-matter beam emitters on sharks? That would be awesome.

  10. Re:Ohhh the irony... on Anonymous Goes After GodHatesFags.com · · Score: 2

    So consistency is the cornerstone of morality, philosophy and understanding? Tell me more of this little world you live in, and how I can join.

    The article summary has a very poor choice of words in describing these lunatics as "controversial". Controversy requires that there are at least two sides to the issue. A group of self obsessed media whores using outrageous tactics to direct attention to themselves isn't controversial. They just want the spotlight, but lack the talent, cleverness or beauty to attract it any other way. They are the Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan of the bible thumpers, and should be ignored. No controversy at all.

  11. duh... on Common Traits of the Veteran Unix Admin · · Score: 1

    The significant benefit of Sudo is you don't have to remember two passwords. 'Sudo bash' is fine; just one password to remember; or none if you config sudo right.

    The biggest problem with Sudo is too many characters; you should alias it to "op"; then it clearly kicks su's ass.

  12. Socio-political summary.. on Cancer Resembles Life 1 Billion Years Ago · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sure seemed like the poster was talking about the Republicans as Cancer....

  13. Re:...wow on Online-Only Currency BitCoin Reaches Dollar Parity · · Score: 1

    Possibly a few other kind of 'jobs' this could work out for as well.

  14. Re:Really cool but... on The CIA's Amazing RC Animals From the 70s · · Score: 1

    I love voluntary surveys where people click "no opinion". It is quite something to go out of your way to visit a site, or phone a number to tell them that you have no opinion.

    The same with "that I am aware of". The phrase may have a place in the discourse of an expert in a particular field. For example, a renowned cancer specialist rebutting a question about Bruce Lee movies curing cancer might state "There is no evidence, that I am aware of, that watching Bruce Lee movies cures cancer".

    But, in an idle chatter, it takes on quite a different meaning. Something like "I really don't have a clue but would like to participate".

    Anyways, why don't you knuckle heads get back to bashing each other for our continued enjoyment...

  15. This should help on Robot Jet Fighter Takes First Flight · · Score: 0

    when the robots rise up and overthrow their human masters, they'll have some pretty effective weapons.

  16. rival theory on Only 39% Curse At Their Computers? · · Score: 1

    61% blame themselves, mistakenly believing their magical devices can do no wrong. That thought makes me so proud of our industry.

  17. electronic gizmos and brain interference.... on Research Finds That Electric Fields Help Neurons Fire · · Score: 2

    Have you ever seen the lineups for the launch of one of these gizmos? Lining up like peasants for bread, but instead of life sustaining nutrition, it was to get an iphone-iv before anybody else. How can you say nothing has interfered with these peoples brains?

  18. altimeter group microsoft shill on Google's Search Copying Accusation Called 'Silly' · · Score: 1

    C+P the subject line into google and see what pops up. In a few days, bing will show you the same thing.

  19. Duh... on US Dept. of Justice, ICE Still Seizing Domains · · Score: 1

    This isn't about royalties for some pansy singer or hollywood sodomite. This is about FOOTBALL - real American stuff. These sports-is-just-for-enjoyment evil-doers need to be stopped before they destroy all that is great about America. If you can't see that, well maybe your demonic nickname should be seized too.

  20. Re:the stones. on Do Tools Ever 'Die?' · · Score: 1

    Thanks for straightening me out on that one; wow do I feel foolish now. I'm glad to be part of a community that is so knowledgable, and willing to help people when they stumble. Thank you Mr Coward for your part in making SlashDot what it is.

  21. A little too ironic on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    If the 2009 recipient finds himself imprisoning the 2011 recipient; don't 'cha think. Apologies to Alanis; and no this isn't ironic either. Just tragic.

  22. Awesome! on Magnetic Brain Stimulation Makes Learning Easier · · Score: 1

    Will the fancy magnetic brainwashing machine have a spinning psychedelic disc?

    Brainwashing has been so out of fashion for too long. It used to be a staple in the cheezy movie diet, but I thought we had eaten into extinction..

  23. the stones. on Do Tools Ever 'Die?' · · Score: 3, Funny

    I saw a documentary about stone-age families. Apparently they used baby wooly mammoths to wash their dishes, and adult wooly mammoths to shower themselves. The woolly mammoth is quite extinct, so it is unlikely that it is still in use.

  24. I like apple gear... on Netgear CEO Says Jobs's Ego Will Bite Apple · · Score: 0

    but come on. Some lame ass CEO crying into his beer because his products have problems with AirPlay or somesuch? Not even his kids bothered to read it.

  25. Like riding a moped on Threat of Cyberwar Is Over-Hyped · · Score: 1

    you don't want your friends to see you on one...

    Who would admit to Windows on industrial controllers? It is embarrassing, to say the least.
