  1. Re:Good to see on Microsoft Says IE9 Beta Demand Overwhelming · · Score: 5, Funny

    Absolutely. Someone needs to put the pressure on the near-monopoly that Firefox/Opera/Chrome/etc. has.

  2. Wealthy Social Pathologists on Researchers Say Happiness Costs $75K · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The study found that being divorced, being sick and other painful experiences have worse effects on a poor person than on a wealthier one. Our wealthy ruling elite can insulate from all the social pathologies they promote. They think the middle and lower classes can weather the storms as easily as they can, so those social pathologies must not be bad. But if you live in the wreckage, you shake your fist at our ruling elite, and call down a curse on them.

  3. Faster Shutdown on Microsoft Patents OS Shutdown · · Score: 1

    A standard Windows crash is much quicker.

    Hi, I saw this funny video of a cat running into a wall

  5. Re:Instant distractions on Digital Devices Deprive Brain of Needed Downtime · · Score: 1

    Nice defense mechanism: someone finds a better way to contentment, and you say he's "condescending." Must've hit a raw nerve.

  6. Re:Not true on Study Says Your Personality Doesn't Change After 1st Grade · · Score: 1
    such studies appear every bit as absolutely worthless in any practical sense as nearly all books on child rearing.

    Ain't it the truth! I think those books are a jobs program for fiction writers.

  7. Science is not Automatic on Google Struggles To Give Away $10 Million · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You don't just input money and people and voila! out comes good Science, automatically. Mostly you get fraud and junk and research jobs programs. At least it shows Google is looking for good Science, not just any Science.

  8. Re:Joke of the day on Bill Gates Doesn't Work At Microsoft Anymore · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Cancer is growth, too.

  9. Re:Ummm, okay. on Fake Antivirus Peddlers Outpacing Real AV Firms · · Score: 1

    Because on Windows, it's hard to tell the difference?

  10. Re:bah! on Iceland Volcano's Ash Grounds European Air Travel · · Score: 1

    The word you're looking for is "vibrant".

  11. Re:If this was a one-time-thing, then yes. on Rootkit May Be Behind Windows Blue Screen · · Score: 1

    Points for not using a car analogy, but a road analogy is still too close for comfort.

  12. Re:Another reason on Can You Trust Chinese Computer Equipment? · · Score: 1

    And economic co-dependency is what the USSR used to help keep it together. It'll just make it easier for the coming Globalist Tyranny.

  13. Re:Another reason on Can You Trust Chinese Computer Equipment? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Go to your local farmer's market and roadside stands. Grow your own garden. Push back on food globalism

  14. Kipling Lives! on Are Aliens Living Among Us? · · Score: 1

    But his orginal Just-So Stories were amusing, and fun to read to the children.

  15. 10 Long / Short Years on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    When you're young the days are short and the years are long. When you're older the days are long and the years are short.

  16. Re:This is actually my HOPE for the future on Censoring a Number · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Maybe we need a new moderation: (-1, Car Analogy).


    Excellent notion. The moderation choices we have now are so bland.

  17. Re:God Forbid on Best Buy Acquires SpeakEasy · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    I got this email this morning (I use speakeasy for my web servers). So far, speakeasy has had excellent service. Between getting 3mbit/768kbit DSL line with 8 static IPs and 8 1GB usenet accounts for 85$/month (slashdot promo), their not blocking servers, and their incredibly fast response time for problems, the service has been top notch. Completely decimated verizon's service on all levels.


    Like all old people, you will tell the same stories over and over about the "good old days." This is one you will be telling, because the good old days are over for you.

  18. Straw Men on Ballmer Says Google's Growth Is 'Insane' · · Score: 5, Insightful
    'I don't really know that anybody's proven that a random collection of people doing their own thing actually creates value.'


    Google is not a random collection. You don't need to prove anything. Ballmer is not the authority on the matter. They are not all doing their own thing.

    This is a CEO?

    Real scientists...


    Right, Maxwell, Newton, Pascal, Kepler, Faraday, etc. I'm sure you wouldn't descend from your lofty perch to talk to such as these.

  20. Re:Don't have time on Linux Starts to Find Home on Desktops · · Score: 2, Funny

    More evidence that WGA is not for the customer, because in many cases in Illinois, the customer is dead.

  21. Part of HP-UX on Samba Success in the Enterprise? · · Score: 2, Informative

    HP calls it CIFS Server for HP-UX, but it's really Samba.

  22. Re:How do I prove it? on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 1
    How can I prove IANAL?


    Posting on slashdot is sufficient.

  23. Re:How does this make math a good career choice? on Bill Gates Speaks Out Against Immigration Policies · · Score: 1

    My take on it is: order the top two or three things you love to do. The very top thing, do for the love, not for the money, because doing it for a living will change it. Do the second or third thing for money. You'll have a living, and you'll enjoy it well enough.

  24. Re:There may finally be a reason to buy a PC on Sony Keynote Offers Hope For PlayStation 3 Fans · · Score: 1

    How much does something cost when it is "three times cheaper than a PC"? If something costs $600, what is three times cheaper? What is one times cheaper?

  25. Re:Sounds complicated on University Migrating Students to Windows Live Mail? · · Score: 1
    The question is not that everyone uses windows, but that everyone will have to use windows forever-


    Only the professional students. The rest will either drop out or graduate, and move on to other things.
