  1. Re:It's the left version of the Tea Party on Ask Slashdot: How Do You View the Wall Street Protests? · · Score: 1

    Your second point is important, I think. I hate our two-party system, and see lobbyists as a great equalizer between the two, watering down both into useless shills. That's what pisses me off.

  2. Re:What's an "insider"? on Is Apple Moving iPad Production to Brazil? · · Score: 1

    I'm an insider. Also, Spartacus.

  3. Re:It's the United States' Internet - deroute .cn on Chinese Paper Warns Google May Pay Price For Hacking Claims · · Score: 2

    Since when are power plant master controls accessible over the internet? Oops! I mean to click "PAY BILL!" Sorry eastern seaboard!

  4. Re:Not anyone, really on Steve Jobs: 'We Don't Track Anyone' · · Score: 1

    Note - they sell it to some list manager...some third party.

  5. Re:Not anyone, really on Steve Jobs: 'We Don't Track Anyone' · · Score: 1

    Of course. It's just huge lists. They leave it to some list manager to extrapolate specific data on a personal basis. They can be used for tons of things, mostly related to targeted marketing and political gift soliciting.

  6. Not anyone, really on Steve Jobs: 'We Don't Track Anyone' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not one specific person, anyway. More like "everyone". See the difference?

  7. I get tired of all the tests. on Why Science Is a Lousy Career Choice · · Score: 2

    What with the falling in acid, putting up the blue portal again when I meant to shoot the orange one, the robot that is trying to kill me...it just gets old. Science is bad for my health. I don't even _like_ cake.

  8. Re:graphing calculator? on Geohot Battles Back Against Sony · · Score: 1

    When you turn it upside down, it says BOOBS. Send this man to prison.

  9. Re:And i TOLD you. on Contents of Leaked HBGary Emails Reveal Wrongdoing · · Score: 1

    Anyone spending a few years in the early stages of internet, in which those underground circles were not so underground like today, would be able to know and tell the same. Its the rebel net culture.

    Please. Those olden tymes you speak of? Mitnick. Your post sounds like you're saying "I liked this band before they were cool."

    These circles were always underground, yet subtly exposed through the same mechanisms they've always used to attack - by us being social beings.

  10. Also, on Man Pays $200,000 To Save Fake Online Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    That stripper is not really into you. She just wants you to buy her a few beers and then pay for a lap dance. No touching.

  11. Re:Dancing with vacuum cleaners... on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 1

    They were right....tell your sister...they were right.

  12. The Guild on Torrent-Only Movie Denied IMDb Listing · · Score: 1

    Hasn't stopped them from listing The Guild. I'm sure there's others. Screw you, Amazon.

  13. Whisky? on Whisky Made From Diabetics' Urine · · Score: 1

    I'd never drink a Scotsman's urine. Erin Go Bragh!

  14. Terrible news. on Lasers Approach Their Ultimate Intensity Limit · · Score: 1

    This is just disastrous for Pink Floyd tribute bands worldwide.

  15. Woo! on NASA's Juno, Armored Tank Heading For Jupiter · · Score: 1

    Give 'em hell! USA! USA!

  16. Re:Better idea on Ozzy Osbourne To Be Genetically Decoded · · Score: 1

    They tried. After eating the brain of the third geneticist, they gave up.

  17. Oops! on Microsoft Says, Don't Press the F1 Key In XP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I hit F1 by accident at least once a day trying for the Esc key.

  18. Humanity's greatest enemy...is itself on Elder-Assist Robotic Suits, From the Real Cyberdyne · · Score: 1

    And we here at Old Glory Insurance offer coverage for you. For when your retirement community neighbor grabs hold of you, and you can't get away - because they're metal, and robot suits are strong. Old Glory.

  19. Follow? on Robots Learn To Follow · · Score: 1

    Or persue?

  20. Really? on The Scream Aliens Hear From the Earth · · Score: 1

    I blame Styx.

  21. Oh no! on Odysseus's Return From the Trojan War Dated · · Score: 1

    Won't someone please think of the cyclops!?

  22. Ghost lights? on Galaxy Zoo Produces a Rare Specimen · · Score: 1

    Astronomer1: Oh my God! It just disappeared. It's a ghost-light! [reels away from the telescope] There are ghost-lights all over these skies, you know.
    Astronomer2: [timid] Hold me.
    Astronomer1: [conciliatory] Only if you hold me.

  23. Pretty cool. on Google Earth Beaten By Autorendering From Photos · · Score: 1

    That's awesome! The story broke my Bork! filter, though.

  24. Re:Fare thee well on F-117A Stealth Fighter Retired · · Score: 1

    Cool! Although that place has no where near as interesting a view from google maps.

  25. Fare thee well on F-117A Stealth Fighter Retired · · Score: 1

    It's off the the great Danger Zone in the Sky...

    Wait. That's where it was.

    It's off to ... Davis-Monthan on the ground. Not quite so good, metaphorically, but it'll have to do.
