  1. Re:Good news, very good news on Napster Bans Metallica Fans · · Score: 1
    Here are a few other bands whose fans should be banned:
    Who the fuck are you, man?

    Nine Inch Nails (like heavy metal without the talent)
    One of my best friends loves NIN... I still don't understand why.

    Rush (think they're clever, but aren't)
    You are obviously not today's Tom Sawyer.

    Hootie and the Blowfish (shit name, shit band)
    Hootie hardly even applies anymore these days. Like Kid Rock, he had his time and really only tried to milk it once more thereafter (failed).

    AC/DC (the single least musical bunch of morons God ever created, and disgustingly sexist to boot)
    Sex isn't something a man with your musical taste should be all too concerned about.

    The Grateful Dead (shit beyond shit)
    Not a fan either, but they know how to play actual instruments (wish I could say the same for half of the "Top 40" groups of today)

    The Beatles (the Britney Spears of their generation)
    Interesting remark... I'd like to know what leads you to such a morbid conclusion. The Beatles were talented musicians (all you need to do is listen to their albums instead of the bubble gum radio selections), Britney Spears just "sings" and "dances."

    The entire country of Australia ("I come from a land Down Under, where the only band is a one-hit wonder)
    Men At Work could kick your ASS. And I don't even have to live in Australia to know that you are a fucking moron for _this_ comment.

    And in general, anything else I don't like.
    Well isn't that just the fucking story, hey?

    You are dumb.

    fuckin cockbiter.


    ATTENTION SLASHDOT COMMUNITY:

    We have cock-bite.


    There is absolutely nothing wrong with smoking a bong while on the phone with anyone. I think the original poster was implying that CowboyNeal posesses a drug problem unlike any other. Just look at the photo of him on his website. Does that not look like the face of a man at the absolute peak of a 30 microdot acid trip?

    Come on, CowboyNeal, we know. It's ok!


    peace to the chipmunks, and most importantly, the w0rMs

  3. Re:Open Source on Open-Sourcing Discontinued Hardware · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised you don't make your OWN head hurt every time you look in the mirror and wonder why your mother ever let you into this world.

    You clearly understand nothing about firmware and the open-source concept. There really isn't much else to say or do about that.

  4. Re:YES! on New LILO Breaks 1024-Cyl Limit · · Score: 1

    i think the article said *2* TB, chief.

  5. Re:Fairness on Dr. Dre Might Sue Napster Users? · · Score: 1

    Dr. Dre is a hypocrite. He's just upset that LucasArts busted him out for using the THX sound on his album without permission so he's going to follow their lead and sue people who steal from HIM... the fact that he stole from someone else is neither here nor there, apparently...

    "now all i get all day is hate mail sayin dre fell off..."

    Keep up the shit like this and you can guarantee that hate mail will continue to come by the ton.

  6. Re:GUIs Sucks on What Is Important In A User Interface? · · Score: 1
    I think the problem is that you can't easily go about fixing the problem. The deep gorge between the technically adept and the customer (anyone who has ever been on the "tech" end of a "tech support" call will understand my choice of nomenclature) is not going to be bridged anytime soon. Lets take for example, Office 2000. People pay hundreds of dollars to take classes on how to learn this thing. If you can actually figure out every single menu option on your own, hell, you are cooler than me (but only because I detest O2k :-)). It just goes to show how anti-intuitive the entire software suite is. Programs are designed, generally, by programmers. Programmers are inherently technologically adept. Customers are not. What the programmer thinks is logical for menu layout, options, colors, bells, whistles, whatever is often not what the customer finds logical. Look at AOL. I can't even _imagine_ a more dumbed-down interface, yet there are still those who struggle to comprehend. It's just the way things are... some people aren't meant to be that great at using computers as some people aren't meant for certain jobs.


    Hell, even one day in the distant future where computers can read minds, there will still be people with minds that are too simple for the computer to understand. If you really have absolutely no clue how to work your computer, there really isn't much interface-wise that can be done to ease the pain.

  7. Nanotechnology on Social/Technological Implications Of Nanotech? · · Score: 1

    One thing is for certain about the future of nanotechnology: everything will be smaller.

  8. Re:Maybe a better location.... on Linux Beer Hike 2000 · · Score: 1

    Corona == beered down water


  9. *BSD Cannabis Hike on Linux Beer Hike 2000 · · Score: 5

    This is what we need.


  10. Canada on The Internet-Have We Reached A Turning Point? · · Score: 1

    What's the word on this type of legislation/restriction in Canada? I think that Canada has a large enough portion of "unused" (read not polluted by idiotic societal planning) land to accomodate a healthy portion of us.

    Maybe Greg Brunet can house ~30 people.

  11. Re:Um, "domain being used" != "must have website" on Is "coke.ch" A Violation of Coca-Cola's (tm)? · · Score: 1

    In the absence of a website, it's impossible to know whether the domain was registered in good faith as a site about cocaine, or not.

    ... "good faith" ... "cocaine" ...

    i think that just about sums it up
