  1. Re:That's fine by me on Fedora 18 Release Slips Another Week · · Score: 2

    6 months is way too short of a time to iron out bugs plus insert new features

    Fedora has become an experimental technology preview platform. It exists for end users to iron out the bugs.

  2. Re:Shouldn't Be A Problem... on Adobe and Apple Didn't Unit Test For "Forward Date" Bugs. Do You? · · Score: 1

    It did, and we are all now posting from hell.

  3. Pumped Up! on Connecticut Group Wants Your Violent Videogames — To Destroy Them · · Score: 1

    After a few rounds of Flower (by thatgamecompany) I know I'm ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

  4. Die Fledermaus Auto on The Copyright Battle Over Custom-Built Batmobiles · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the copyright has expired on that opera.

  5. Re:Where do I stand in line to buy one? on Apple Files Patent For "Active Stylus" For Use With Capacitive Touchscreens · · Score: 2

    The one marked "people who could not be bothered to order online stand here".

  6. Re:Lame? The Slashdot blessing on Chromebook Takes Top Place In Laptop Sales On Amazon · · Score: 1

    ...morphed into chrombooks.

    What is best in a notebook?

    To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their tech support.

  7. Cheers on New Years! on USMA: Going the Extra Kilometer For Metrication · · Score: 1

    They'll never take my pints.

  8. Re:i don't get all this push for tv boxes on Intel's Rumored TV Plans Would Compete With Apple, Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    do people even watch tv? i haven't had a tv in years.

    Like you, I am too superior for video entertainment. I just meditate and think deep thoughts, unlike TV watchers who wallow in their own filth and poke sharp sticks in their ears.

  9. Re:The problem with protests. on New Documents Detail FBI, Bank Crack Down On Occupy Wall Street · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Our Constitution guarantees us a number of ways to work through government for change.

    One of those constitutional guarantees is freedom of speech to say you disagree with what the government is doing. Nothing about that "damages" the constitution.

  10. Re:Snow White Design Language on Early Apple Designs Revealed, Courtesy of Hartmut Esslinger · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Advertising decades old design ideas never brought to market? I pity the fool that can't enjoy a bit of tech history.

  11. Re:Foxconn on Early Apple Designs Revealed, Courtesy of Hartmut Esslinger · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't you understand? Only Apple has ever used inexpensive overseas labor. Android phones are made by happy elves on Main Street America in shops powered by unicorn breath.

  12. Re:Slashvertisment on Cree Introduces 200 Lumen/Watt Production Power LEDs · · Score: 1

    The farm in the back

  13. Re:I've lost count on Russia Says Next-Gen Spacecraft Design Ready · · Score: 1

    ...there's dick-waving to be done.

    That's my daily affirmation before I wade into the rat race.

  14. Advanced Missiles on What Debris From North Korea's Rocket Launch Shows · · Score: 2

    Ah, memories! RFNA and UDMH were what we used in Lance Missiles in the 70's/80's. These were aimed visually with hand cranks, a theodolite and a mirror. (a little more to the left) Interesting to see this called "advanced" in 2012.

  15. Re:UC, Berkley should've patented ideas in BSD Uni on Jury Hits Marvell With $1 Billion+ Fine Over CMU Patents · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A story about CMU suing Marvell for patent infringement and you are blabbering about Apple? You should realize not everyone shares your off topic obsession.

  16. Re:Krugman is a walking Greenfieldism on Krugman: Is the Computer Revolution Coming To a Close? · · Score: 2

    You have either never read Krugman and are making stuff up, or you have and are deliberately lying. That is all.

  17. Re:Just begininng on Krugman: Is the Computer Revolution Coming To a Close? · · Score: 1

    I can't figure out what Gordon is arguing, what Krugman is arguing...

    They are arguing about continued change from IT (is it over?). The bit about robots was mostly tongue in cheek, as most people might pick up from the "Skynet decides to kill us all" quote.

    ...and what ninguna is arguing

    He's trying to turn Krugman's quip into a /. story.

  18. Another winner! on Google Skunkworks Working on 'X Phone,' Reports WSJ · · Score: 1

    Here is a leaked photo. Revolutionary! Put it up to your head: hello? HELLO? allo?

  19. Re:Congrats on After 12 years of Development, E17 Is Out · · Score: 2

    The mostly install at night, mostly.

  20. Re:Netflix... on Net Neutrality Bill Aimed At ISP Data Caps Introduced In US Senate · · Score: 2

    ...started watching the new Dr. Who series, beginning from the first David Tennant episode on up.

    This is important stuff, worthy of a regulatory fix. I'm not being sarcastic.

  21. Re:What IP is Apple using to stop this? on Apple Kills a Kickstarter Project - Updated · · Score: 1

    You can trademark a connector name, just like USB is trademarked. If you want to use the USB logo, you have to meet requirements and get a license (see usb.org for details). Apple owns the Lightning trademark on connectors. You want to call it a lightning connector? You need a license from Apple.

  22. Re:What would stop Apple's current downward slide? on Apple Kills a Kickstarter Project - Updated · · Score: 1

    fearing Apple's destructiveness toward the world...

    You can't even parody such over the top nonsense. Apple won't endorse this project, so they want to destroy the world. OK.

  23. Re:Worse than rent-a-cops on Taking Sense Away: Confessions of a Former TSA Screener · · Score: 0

    ...a million or so anecdotes about TSA's harassment & sheer stupidity, and no wonder they are so looked down on.

    They have a million or so anecdotes about passenger harassment and sheer stupidity. Neither is an excuse for bad behavior. I'll take your word that you were polite, but given the general framing of your post you might have sent some unintended signals that escalated the situation.

  24. An unexpected journey on Nokia Dethroned As Top Phone Maker By Samsung · · Score: 1

    Sammy Mobes is on the move. Since I read that phrase on /. I can't get it out of my head.

  25. Re:Chinese on Ask Slashdot: 2nd Spoken/Written Language For Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    ...difficult for other English speakers to understand (such as Black Country English, or the Glasgow Patter)

    I just watched the film "The Acid House". I'm glad it had sub-titles. :-P
