  1. Re:Does this mean that sometime on President Trump Signs Music Modernization Act Into Law (billboard.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If anything the MMA would make licensing costs go up. Also, on an unrelated note: I like how the post says "rights holders"... that really has very little to do with the artists.

  2. Man of self made myth on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Things That Every Hacker Once Knew? (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 1

    ESR is begging now? Anybody else remember what a douche nozzle he was after RedHat IPO'd?

  3. Re: never heard of it on RIP Kuro5hin (kuro5hin.org) · · Score: 1

    This is what I get for waiting on Bruce Perens to approve of the concept.

    Whatever ever happened to Mae Ling Mak?

  4. Re:Careful and expeditious investigation is pruden on NYC's Nuclear Power Plant Leaking 'Uncontrollable Radioactive Flow' Into River (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 1

    a number of leaks in recent years.

    My father and his colleagues worked on leaks at Indian Point in 1973, so if recent means longer than the median /. demographic has lived, then yeah.

  5. Maybe for the first shot on New Tech Puts the Brakes On Bullets Fired From Police Sidearms · · Score: 1

    But cops empty the whole clip once they have an excuse. Show me a design that can hold enough for a whole clip and still fit in a holster,
    then go suck on it.

  6. What could possibly go wrong? on 10 Major Automakers Agree To Include Automatic Emergency Braking On New Vehicles · · Score: 1

    That ain't shit without a chronometer. You were saying?

  10. Snooki's baby on Steve Jobs Reincarnated As a Warrior-Philosopher, Thai Group Says · · Score: 1

    He came back as Snooki's baby, but I guess that and warrior-philosopher
    don't have to be mutually exclusive.

  11. Re:Its kind of really sad on What The Apollo 11 Crew Did For Life Insurance · · Score: 2

    That attitude is always best coming from people in public service.
    Politicians, law enforcement, defense, transportation, education, sanitation, parks.
    They seem to think they're different because they don't hate america like the people who pay the majority of their salaries.

  12. Re:Linux marketshare going down? Or OS X going up? on How Apple Killed the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the fading relevance of desktops.

  13. Re:Apple didn't kill it, Microsoft did. on How Apple Killed the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Yes, because Linux was totally kicking MS's ass before that. XP had what, 2% of the market?

  14. Still? on How Apple Killed the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, Miguel "The Mouth" De Icaza. Nobody repeats ideas like Miguel.

  16. Never thought I'd have to say this.... on Astronaut Neil Armstrong Has Died · · Score: 2

    I do not look forward to the day when there is no man left alive who has set foot on the moon.

  17. It's powerful, cheap and the battery lasts all day. The only place where e-ink has a clear edge is in broad daylight.

  18. Re:That looks... on CDE Open Sourced · · Score: 1

    Actually, no. Motif looked like shit even compared to Win 3.1
    I remember.

  19. What's taking so long? on Member Claims Anonymous "Might Well Be the Most Powerful Organization On Earth" · · Score: 1

    So when can we expect Utopia to be completed? I mean, they're _hackers_; If they can't do it nobody can!
    Sarcasm, eh?

  20. Re:Making Up vs. Facilitating on NY Times: 'FBI Foils Its Own Terrorist Plots' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Encouraging a bunch of j*ckoffs who couldn't find their asses with both hands at high noon is bullsh*t propaganda.

    The FBI aided the _first_ WTC bomb plot.
    The FBI aided Olklahoma City.

    Bunch of fscking leeches that need to get real jobs. And stop being such a scared rabbit, America is not supposed the land of pissed pants.

  21. Re:Bad summary on Steve Jobs' Idea For an Ad-Supported OS · · Score: 1

  23. Re:How does a "small firm" have so much tech? on Ask Slashdot: Documenting Scattered Sites and Systems? · · Score: 1

    Hello Mr Kettle!

    This comment may be insightful, but it doesn't address the issue realistically unless one has a time machine.
    Bonus points for the irony of complaining about /. answers not providing useful solutions.

    Person asks question, discussion ensues, nobody answers the original question as it was asked.
    The more things change, the more they stay the same....

  24. I thought it was me! on 'Vocal Fry' Creeping Into US Speech · · Score: 1

    I've been noticing a certain grating quality when the young girls talk lately.
    Good thing I know how to keep 'em quiet.

    What could possibly go wrong?
