  1. Re:Perhaps... on IT Job Satisfaction Plummets To All-Time Low · · Score: 1

    Right now we go after the workers. That does not help.

    Sure it does, it decreases the available pool of workers.

  2. Re:Makes you wonder on Blu-ray Capacity Increase Via Firmware · · Score: 1

    I see you are unfamiliar with the meaning of "firmware".

  3. Re:People aren't robots on Office Work Ethic In the IT Industry? · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's fine, companies need to reduce headcount from time to time.

  4. Re:Doesn't surprise me on Kodak Wireless Picture Frames Open To Public · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should have purchased a Chumby, although most people would balk at a 4" picture frame for $100.

    How else did you expect Fox News to get on Slashdot?

  6. Re:Floating Mountains on Avatar Soars Into $1-Billion Territory · · Score: 1

    Sure they did. It's because of the fluxy something-or-other.

    Huh, no shit.

  8. Re:Because... on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 1

    Stupid Indians (with a dot, not feathers).

    How do you think they power all those casinos?

  9. Re:Problems on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 1

    No, a flux capacitor stores flux, or it can be used to smooth out the signal when converting AC flux to DC flux.

  10. Re:Lessig on what plex is really important on Codeplex 100 Day Deadline Passes Unremarked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Which is exactly why the FSF's philosophy on calling it "GNU/Linux" has some merit

    Thanks, and here I thought it was just RMS's way of attaching the FSF to someone who could actually finish a kernel.

  11. Re:So what exactly then... on Ginkgo Doesn't Improve Memory Or Cognitive Skills · · Score: 2, Funny

    That sounds racist to me.

  12. Re:what about retirement for RIAA? on Alternative 2009 Copyright Expirations · · Score: 1

    Damned liberals. Why do you hate America?

  13. Re:Ridiculous on Alternative 2009 Copyright Expirations · · Score: 1

    I believe the term you're looking for is "ex post facto" ("after the fact") laws, not "ipso facto" ("by the fact itself").

    I sometimes think Congress should not be able to create laws ipso facto either.

  14. Re:Link on The Star Wars Christmas Special Still Exists · · Score: 1

    He went to see it with John Titor.

  15. Re:Low standards on Mozilla Thunderbird 3 Released · · Score: 1

    I've been running TB 2 for linux for years with no crashing, resource hog problems, etc.

    You'll have to reboot eventually.

  17. Re:Iran isn't doing this alone! on Iranian Crackdown Goes Global · · Score: 1

    1- When it comes to computer science Iran is a world leader that is only rivaled by USA and England.

    What about Poland? Don't forget Poland!

  18. Re:Is it really that necessary? on US Air Force Confirms New Stealth Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Out of world military spending: Including the cost of Iraq and Afghanistan it's 41.5%.

    Maybe, but look at all the advancements from the Stargate program!

  19. Re:Documentation is very lacking on Is Linux Documentation Lacking? · · Score: 1

    Not only that, the man page rarely is correct, one of the biggest problems.

    Fixed that for you.

    He meant "Ludacris", now get back.

  22. Re:GPUs are good if on Australia's CSIRO To Launch CPU-GPU Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    No, this is to hide the space ships from public view. You're on Slashdot, so youi've obviously watched Stargate. We have these giant space-faring ships, but we can't let the public know about them. They're obviously going to cover the sky with giant LCD monitors, so amateur astronomers can't see what's going on. Let's just hope they remember to scrape off the logo.

    What? That's not what they meant by "launch"? Oh.

  23. Re:Counterpoint on Try Out Chrome OS In a Virtual Machine · · Score: 1

    Here's a hint: if you're trying to run Photoshop on a 10" screen, you're doing it wrong.

    Why? The first versions of Photoshop only ran on machines with a monochrome 9" screen. Now get off my lawn.
