  1. well... on Hackers: Uncle Sam Wants You! · · Score: -1, Troll

    It depends on how much they're paying. I require a minimum of 85k and a telecommute.

  2. Re:so... on Napster Clawing Back · · Score: 2, Informative

    I still use gnapster and download plenty of music via opennap servers. Admittedly, the volume isn't what it once was, but you you can still find an awful lot of music.

  3. Re:That's it... on Sun Releases Starcat · · Score: 3, Funny

    Um. I believe Starcat Cluster is a trademark owned by the Little Debbie Food Group Inc., Lubbock Texas. It consists of two Star Crunch patties glued together with Mallow Kreeme filling. Then dipped in a Chocolastic sealant.

    Just watch out. I hear Debbie has quite a few lawyers.

  4. Re:unfortunately on Inline Review With Miguel De Icaza · · Score: 1, Funny

    If you think that's spooky, look at one of the anagrams of "Dare Basanjo" and "Miguel de Icaza":

    jacare, god, uzi, Osama bin Laden

    Arrest them!

  5. unfortunately on Inline Review With Miguel De Icaza · · Score: 5, Funny

    He didn't ask what we're all dying to know:

    Why does the ximian logo look exactly like a spider shoved up somebody's left nostril?

  6. Re:Terrorists... on MS FrontPage Restricts Free Speech II (It's True!) · · Score: 1

    I think that you need, at some point, at least occasionally to interact, if not necessarily speak or, quite possibly, read, with humans that speak and or write the language that is known, by some at least, as English.

  7. Slashdot Censorship on Freedom Flees in Terror · · Score: -1, Troll

    Slashdot editors, please explain why you're sensoring posts. By now we all know you have a long history of that. Many, many posts are being deleted.

    (You can read everything, even moderated posts, by adjusting your threshold on the User Preferences Page)

    Bullshit!

  8. Dammit slashdot on Freedom Flees in Terror · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm getting tired of hearing about your server crashes. It's bad enough when I'm at work and the site doesn't load, but do we really need to hear yet another story about the big lumbering beast that is Slash?

  9. frost post on Freedom Flees in Terror · · Score: -1, Troll

    bwa ha ha

  10. Re:Dark Days a Plenty on A New Kind of War · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I agree. Mark Driver has been writing excellent articles and essays for years. He's the guy that used to run the crashsite and now blindwino.com. While I do agree that the posting yesterday was offtopic and even though it was just a cut-n-paste job, I do think someone with mod points to spare ought to bounce that up to at least 1. Read it, and you'll agree that it's truly an insightful, informative, inspiring, and interesting article.

  11. Re:Donate money to the red cross on More News And Links On Yesterday's Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1
    your sig: "Why pay retail?...

    Well, I don't think now is the time to pay wholesale on any Red Cross donations. Come on gang... if you're going to donate, dig deep and pay the full retail price. I thank you. The Civilized World thanks you. God thanks you. Allah thanks you. The fans of Frasier thank you.

  12. Re:huh? on Trojan Room Coffee Pot Auctioned Off · · Score: 1

    Perhaps. I think it's a little bizarre to have this whole I-own-a-piece-of-history-even-though-it's-just-a-c offee-pot fetish. What's next? Auctioning off Richard Stallman's underwear? Oh wait, he doesn't wear any, just a sari. But you get my point.

  13. Re:violate fair use? on CD Copy "Protection" in California · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Link borken? on How To Deal With (Techie) Prima Donnas · · Score: 2
    If only they would have listened to the poor guys (and gals) they call techie prima donnas their site would have been able to take a good slashdotting. But no, they go and bitch about us.

    Fuck you management! We want more money! And you better listen to us when we tell you the 486 linux box with the dsl pipe won't cut it for your webserver (cost effective as it may be).

  17. nested ask slashdot on Why Won't You Pay for Content? · · Score: 5
    The problem with this stems from the fact that not everyone assigns the same value to content. Let's say Joe finds a piece of info on the Internet and he's willing to pay $10 for it, Jack finds that same piece of info but only thinks it is worth $2, and Jill finds the information not useful at all.

    Now suppose this "information" is a series of nude photographs of Jill, Jack is her boyfriend, and Joe is the nerdy kid who lives next door. What does this tell us about Jill? About Jack? What about Joe? The content provider?

    What conclusions can you draw?

  18. Re:Python book on Why not Ruby? · · Score: 2

    I will have to agree it is the best python book. Though an update for 2.1 would be nice.

  19. Re:Does it bother anyone else... on Your Daily Dose of Microsoft · · Score: 5
    I just wish more people would realize that they don't have to put up with this sort of thing, and choose to eschew Microsoft.

    Here's what I do to "spread the word":

    I dress up in a furry penguin suit and drive around town blowing my horn in my black, white, and orange "penguin motif" 1970 Super Beetle. I've got a loudspeaker mounted on top that I blare ice cream truck sounds from. When the little kids come running outside I hand out free linux cds and say "Spread the love".

    It's very important to get the younger generation involved, you see.

  20. Re:ummmm on GnuCash Developer Robert Merkel Responds · · Score: 3

    Interestingly enough there is a *nix port underway and the new file extension will be "quiff" (quicken universal interchange file format). And by the way, it's pronounced "koo-if" not "kweef" or "kwiff".

  21. Re:On the other hand... on Barney vs. Right to Satire · · Score: 2

    Isn't that the truth? I played Mickey Mouse part time while in college (92-93) and caught crabs from the filthy underwear they forced us to wear.
