  1. Re:Yep that's why I avoid extensions on Zero-Day Vulnerabilities In Firefox Extensions · · Score: 1

    On my machine (Win7 x64) viewing just this SD article used ~103MB; opening up a new tab with the "fuck firefox" page raised it to a whopping ~104MB. These numbers are from the "peak working set" from Task Manager. So, don't not curse when you're wrong.

  2. Re:But Unfortunately... on Intel Says Brain Implants Could Control Computers By 2020 · · Score: 1

    I loved the movie The President's Analyst !

  3. Re:The hiss is where it hides on Can We Really Tell Lossless From MP3? · · Score: 1

    No, that was in the '80s with all the "Satan music".

  4. Re:Don't blame me on Attorney General Says Wiretap Lawsuit Must Be Thrown Out · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm not sure I agree with Roseanne, either.

    pain-in-the-ass coaxial cables.

    I think you're doing it wrong. Your ass does not have a BNC connector.

  6. Re:hardly relevant now... on Apple, Others Hit With Lawsuit On Ethernet Patents · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because there's never been Internet over ARCnet, LocalTalk, Token Ring or FDDI.

    Yeah, I lost my patriotism in 1989 too.

    The idiot judge then tried to prevent a newspaper from reprinting those statements

    Fixed that for you.

  9. Re:Worrying precedent on In the UK, a Few Tweets Restore Freedom of Speech · · Score: 1

    With the Rihanna leaked pictures showing the results of her attack, it's become pretty clear to me that a good portion of the blogging community are devoid of tact and decency. It's only a matter of time before something of the nature of what I described happening.

    You searched for and found them? You read the kind of newspapers/magazines/websites that reproduced the pictures? You seem to be part of the problem, not part of the solution.

    Minton Report

    It appears the URL has an unprintable character, so perhaps linking to the page about the topic will work.

    Wait, I thought we already did the sexist thread today.

    Wait, no. Ew.

    Bit early! HA!

  14. Re:Idiot or Shill on Null-Prefix SSL Certificate For PayPal Released · · Score: 1

    But I'm using a 64-bit OS, you insensitive clod!

  15. Re:Idle hands on Gameboy Color Boot ROM Dumped After 10 Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    GBC Boot ROM dumped? After 10 years?

    It's more likely than you think.

  16. Re:Question: on Carl Sagan Sings · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought the processing made Hawking's voice sound raspy and unrealistic.

  17. Re:Good policy on The Fresca Rebellion · · Score: 1

    Now imagine your wife or girlfriend, with a can of soda constantly in her hand, weighing 300 pounds

    Besides this horrible image, what, exactly, is your point?

    Yeah, 300 lbs is a horrible, horrible image. Every woman should be 5'3" and 90 lbs. I wonder why Slashdotters have a reputation for never getting laid?

    That hasn't happened since the '60s!

    The year of the Linux desktop was 1999, silly.

    Where do you think we get all that oil that comes off the road when it rains?

  22. Re:Remove Hydrocarbons from Plastic???!!!! on Transforming Waste Plastic Into $10/Barrel Fuel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe all the buried oil and metals are landfills from previous civilizations...

  23. Re:Bad Car Analogy. You know it is coming ;-) on Microsoft Says No TCP/IP Patches For XP · · Score: 1

    Probably not, but a better analogy would be cars that are easy to break into. Since almost all cars are easy to break into yet we still buy them, yes, we would really accept that situation.
