  1. Re:No advanced warning? on Australia's Biggest Airline Grounds Its Entire Fleet · · Score: 1

    The name of the company is QANTAS, not Quantas. It is an acronym for Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service

    Derp. The more you know...

  2. Re:No advanced warning? on Australia's Biggest Airline Grounds Its Entire Fleet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...Qantas is playing politics with its customers and screwing its employees.

    Quantas is trying to screw the employees. The unions are trying to screw Quantas. The results screw the customers. If the customers are smart, they will vote with their wallets to screw Quantas and the unions.

    That is called a cluster fuck.

  3. Re:Shut Up Meg! on HP Keeping Their PC Business · · Score: 1

    I won't support any HP product as long as leading TeaBagger Meg Whitman is in the leadership of HP.

    Why worry about it? Just wait nine to twelve months and HP will have a new CEO. Let's see, which current member or close friend of the board of directors will be chosen with the usual incestuous process (and disastrous results)?

  4. Re:It's ok. on Steve Jobs' Missing License Plate · · Score: 1

    Uh, I'm pretty sure he didn't have terminal cancer for the last 20 years.

    The RDF alters the flow of time.

  5. Re:And now after the press release. on Boeing 787 Dreamliner Makes First Passenger Flight · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...an unpressurized cargo hold seat available.

    Ryan Air is getting out of hand.

    Park different!

  7. Soylent Teriyaki on Earth Officially Home To 7 Billion Humans · · Score: 1

    Soylent Green was full of good ideas. The right to end your own life in a controlled and pain free way would free up resources and give people dignity in death. While I don't approve of directly eating the dead, it is more resource efficient than burial or cremation to process remains into some form of organic material that can be used safely in agriculture or for industrial lubricants.

  8. Re:Corporations alone can't hurt or control you on The 147 Corporations Controlling Most of the Global Economy · · Score: 1

    If we eliminate all government regulation the megacorps promise us all a tasty cake.

  9. Re:Got the Beat on Lost Hour-Long Jobs Interview Found · · Score: 1

    Will I make lots of money? Because my young boy Jimmy Joe needs an operation... and to pay of his gambling debts.

  10. Re:Got the Beat on Lost Hour-Long Jobs Interview Found · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Damn, redundant. Take me down mods!

  11. Got the Beat on Lost Hour-Long Jobs Interview Found · · Score: 0

    Run it through an auto-tuner and overlay a heavy dance beat.

  12. Quote the Good Book on Ask Slashdot: What To Tell High-Schoolers About Computer Science? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Read them some Dilbert cartoons.

  13. Re:Oh come on on $529M DOE Loan Spawns $97K Made-in-Finland Cars · · Score: 1

    You know how an infinite amount of monkeys can write Shakespear?

    I think you need another monkey.

    ...a game based in monks

    It's a jungle out there / Disorder and confusion everywhere / No one seems to care / Well I do / Hey, who's in charge here? / It's a jungle out there / Poison in the very air we breathe / Do you know what's in the water that you drink? / Well I do, and it's amazing / People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time / If you paid attention, you'd be worried too / You better pay attention / Or this world we love so much might just kill you / I could be wrong now, but I don't think so / It's a jungle out there

  15. Re:Ron Wyden is always involved in these things on Senator Introduces Bill To Stop Warrantless GPS Tracking · · Score: 1

    Or worse, it could open the door to collecting the information using some exotic class of secret warrant that can be issued in bulk and retroactively by a special judicial representative chosen to rubber stamp such documents.

  16. Re:Americans at it again on ACTA Signed By 8 of 11 Participating Countries · · Score: 1

    I knew Americans are generally quite stupid...

    All that seething hatred is bad for your health. Just relax and admit the USA is THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH! Woooooo! USA! USA!

  17. Re:Decentralize and encrypt everything! on ACTA Signed By 8 of 11 Participating Countries · · Score: 2

    ...start forking the infrastructure.

    The regulatory powers of government allows control over any physical infrastructure, particularly an infrastructure large enough to replace the entire internet. It's more realistic to do the hard work of changing government to eliminate monstrosities like ACTA. Hint: it takes a lot more than just voting and complaining.

  18. Re:Has she been outed yet? on Actress Sues IMDb For Revealing Her Age · · Score: 2

    I googled that name with "sues amazon" and one of the links had "woman sues sex toy manufacturer for damaged vagina".

  19. Top Notch Support on German Surveillance Trojan Spies On Fifteen Apps · · Score: 2

    "...capable of running on 32 bit systems; it also includes support for 64 bit versions of Windows"

    I wish all software and hardware vendors were that current.

  20. Comeback Kid on RIM Unveils New OS Based On QNX · · Score: 2

    It sure seems like RIM is thrashing around looking for a path forward. Apple seemed to suffer from the same thing, limping along with an OS that lacked basic features like memory protection and preemptive multitasking until 2001, but look at them now.

    Are RIM users loyal enough to wait out the problem years?

  21. Re:Space Music on "World's Most Relaxing Music" Composed · · Score: 1

    Hearts of Space is still going: www.hos.com

    Not every show is to my tastes, but it is a good way to hear a lot of different "space" music.

  22. Re:I'd believe it... on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    All of those are damn rare and easily treatable.

    Treatable? Yes. But after reading this I think I'll stick with cooking meat, at least beef and pork.

  23. Re:I'd believe it... on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    What is wrong with raw fish? Or most other meat for that matter?

    Parasites. Tape worms from beef, trichinosis from pork, and I'm sure there are others.

    This post makes me sad.

  25. Re:turn it off on Congressmen Worried About Amazon Silk Privacy Issues · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Do you expect rationality from Joe "You Lie!" Barton. He is a goon, and this attack against Amazon likely has a political back story.
