  1. You all need to STFU, IMO on Duke Nukem Forever Back In Development · · Score: 1

    Because now that Georgie B. isn't running the development team, this game might actually happen.

  2. Where are my files? on Flawed iTunes Stands Out Among Apple's Products · · Score: 1

    When I use a media player, I don't like it when my files get copied around my computer. I'll take care of the file management, you just take care of playing them, okay?

    This is the same problem with iPhoto. What kind of software hides the fact that it's decided to take over file management? Whose idea was this?

  3. Re:5 page paper? on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    No, no. You're supposed to say "I am rubber you are glue, bounce off me and stick to you."

    I thought everyone learned that in elementary school.

  4. Re:5 page paper? on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    How is a long-winded post about being better than the person you're criticizing NOT narcissistic?

  5. Re:5 page paper? on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    Sarcasm tags? Sorry, I haven't learned HTML 5 yet.

  6. Re:5 page paper? on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: -1, Troll

    I find the easiest way to identify a dumb person is by seeing who makes narcissistic, holier-than-thou posts on Slashdot. Thanks for making my life so easy.

  7. Isn't this the same in the US? on China Demands Real Names From Mobile Phone Users · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I seem to recall AT&T demanding my social security number when I signed up.

  8. Re:Why now? on Senate Trying To Slip Internet Kill Switch Past Us · · Score: 3, Funny

    They can always say the internet is wanted for Sweden for rape.

  9. Re:This is why on Senate Trying To Slip Internet Kill Switch Past Us · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think he's saying we shouldn't "use" the second amendment to kill every member of congress, not that we should overturn it.

  10. Re:99 cent rentals for ABC and NBC on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's the AllAdvantage business model for TV! Can I also get referral commissions?

  11. Re:They had to name it ping, didn't they? on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 1

    Sure, and the Windows version can be called iPconfig.

  12. Re:Really? on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 4, Funny
  13. Now this is even more applicable on No More Need To Reboot Fedora w/ Ksplice · · Score: 5, Funny
  14. Encryption? on Burning Man Goes Open Source For Cell Phones · · Score: 0

    What about encryption? How do I know my call is safe, and do I trust the operator of these devices?

  15. Re:I may have read that one wrong on Burning Man Goes Open Source For Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    There's certainly a lot of overlap between the techie crowd and the hippie crowd. Steve Jobs, for example, experimented with LSD.

  16. Re:Be wary of young "experienced" folks on Tech's Dark Secret, It's All About Age · · Score: 1

    True, however it takes time to acquire knowledge.

    Anyway, there's plenty of people (young or old, really) who claim to have an answer to everything. But a truly knowledgeable person rarely has a fast and simple answer. Complicated things have many nuances, and that's where experience is important.

  17. Be wary of young "experienced" folks on Tech's Dark Secret, It's All About Age · · Score: 1

    Age brings experience, but there's plenty of energetic younger folks out there who are great at PRETENDING to have experience. Sure, they have no clue what they're talking about half the time, but they always impress the management.

    *sigh*

  18. Oh look, a [REDACTED] on 3 Prototypes From HP, In Outline · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow, that's incredible! I have a [REDACTED] but it doesn't run [REDACTED] operating system, nor does it have [REDACTED] feature!

    I can't wait to see what [REDACTED] HP comes out with next!

  19. Re:History doesn't repeat itself on 'Retro Programming' Teaches Using 1980s Machines · · Score: 1

    They need to go back further than that. First the students have to build a generator, then blow their own glass and seal their own vacuum tubes. Near the end of the semester they'll make silicon wafers and cast their own CPUs.

  20. Re:Just when you think... on Toyota Adds External Speakers To Warn Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    Actually, they're VERY common here in San Francisco*. And so are pedestrian fatalities. You're more likely to be mowed down here than in New York City.

    (*Yes, South Park got that right.)

  21. Re:Only Priuses? on Toyota Adds External Speakers To Warn Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    It's just for decoration, that's it and that's all.

  22. Re:Just when you think... on Toyota Adds External Speakers To Warn Pedestrians · · Score: 2, Funny

    Noise pollution is better than pedestrian carnage pollution.

  23. Officially licensed on Military Personnel Weigh In On Being Taliban In Medal of Honor · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those soldiers would a lot more angry if they knew about the license fees paid to the Taliban to use their logo, names and likeness.

    But the gameplay would suffer if it weren't an officially licensed Taliban product.

  24. Re:1/13 on How Statistics Can Foul the Meaning of DNA Evidence · · Score: 3, Funny

    But what if the jury is made up of clones?

  25. Obvious joke alert on BFG Tech Sending Out RMA Denial Letters, 'Winding Down Business' · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's the problem with a BFG, it's got a lot of firepower but you might end up killing yourself.
