  1. Re:Welcome to the unfettered capitalism you voted on Silicon Valley Presses Obama, Congress On Immigration Reform · · Score: 1
    What an angry, bitter troll post. You're wasting your talent here.

    We do know the other guy is in charge now, right? Two elections ago? And we also know that free-market conservatives are generally against immigration? But don't let that stop you from spewing hatred against people who don't share your political views.

  2. Re:Socialism at it's finest! on US To Deploy Ballistic Missile Interceptors In Response To North Korean Threats · · Score: 1

    A "perverted form of socialism". Yeah, right. In fact it is much closer to "true" socialism than Sweden has ever been. It's just a horrid place to live so naturally socialists define it away with the No True Scotsman fallacy. "Och, tha's nae a socialist state, laddie!" It's all about the definition. You see this whenever left-wingers actually win a government and then spend the next 10 years exterminating other competing forms of leftism. "Trotskyite!" "Heretic!"

  3. It's because you buy too much crap on Where Have All the Gadgets Gone? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yeah, my house doesn't look anything like that. I love how the guy just *assumes* that everyone is like him. "How many devices have you dropped?" seems a perfectly reasonable question, when in fact it betrays that he's one of those idiots who just likes buying crap.

  4. Sigh on 10 Ways To Celebrate International Pi Day · · Score: 1
    No, March 14 is White Day. You know, the holiday one month after Valentine's Day, but reversed so that women can pursue men they like instead of waiting around?

    What the hell? An internationally aware website like Slashdot (always one for a good metric flame) has no idea what today is to most of the world? Instead "celebrating" this "holiday" that only makes sense if you use non-SI units?

  5. Re:Uptime fetish on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: -1, Redundant
    Yeah, first of all, it's OK to have more than one sentence on a line break.

    Second of all, only an idiot of a sysadmin fetishizes uptime. Who the hell cares? Why the F does anyone have a single point of failure? Patch and reboot your damn boxes!

  6. Re:Uptime fetish on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: 1

    That was bullshit back when I was administering Solaris 2.5.1 boxes, and it's still bullshit today.

  7. Uptime fetish on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I will never for the life of me understand the "uptime fetish" that uneducated sysadmins have. Who the hell cares? The only people who give a crap about this sort of thing are linux fanbois. The only thing this tells me is that this machine has had an uninterrupted power supply, which is mildly impressive. Otherwise it's a Solaris box which is missing A SHITLOAD OF PATCHES. WTF, sysadmins? What kind of pro sysadmin worships at the altar of individual machine uptime? Much less a Solaris sysadmin?

  8. Re:That might have been their plan all along... on Bruce Schneier: A Cyber Cold War Could Destabilize the Internet · · Score: 1

    We know now that there were indeed communists in the State Department, just like Senator McCarthy said. That he was a prick in no way changes this fact.

  9. Re:Scientific basis on Using Truth Serum To Confirm Insanity · · Score: 2

    Wait, truth serum is torture now? I mean putting panties on heads was a stretch, but now this? You sure you're just not an America-hater looking for any hook to hang a cutting remark?

  10. Re:Key is relevance, not interactivity... on Live Tweeting the Symphony? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Teens rebel against the older generation, rejecting everything they stand for, and that's a normal and natural phase in their development.

    No, it's not. Maybe in your culture it is, but the rest of the world finds it bizarre. Other languages lack the "teen" suffix to the numbers 13-19 so they don't even know what a "teenager" is. Plenty of older children the world round are well-behaved and wish nothing more than to follow in the footsteps of their parents.

    That's not true! All she needs to do is file for divorce. She will get half his wealth and all of his children. Have you never been to Family Court?

  12. Re:It's Shaw. This is not surprising. on Massive Email Crash Hits Canadian ISP Shaw · · Score: 1

    The error message you get when you can't log in directs you to a web page where it explains you have to log in by web. Maybe those "winders" users follow documentation better than you?

  13. Re:Relevance? on Nuclear Arms Cuts, Supported By 56% of Americans, Would Make the World Safer · · Score: 1

    And this attitude is how our Republic dies and is replaced by tyranny. Because you're too stupid to know what's good for you, so We Smart People will decide for you.

  14. Re:obvious on Amazon's Quest For Web Names Draws Foes · · Score: 2

    ICANN has nothing to do with market dynamics and everything to do with the destructive effects of a monopoly.

  15. Re:silver is honest on SXSW: Nate Silver Discusses Data Bias, the Strangeness of Fame · · Score: 1

    Another "slash the DoD to the bone" liberal. You know that doesn't work, right? We don't do Obamacare not because it is hideously expensive but rather because it is unconstitutional and tyrannical.

  16. Re:"Right" is frequently just opinion on SXSW: Nate Silver Discusses Data Bias, the Strangeness of Fame · · Score: 1

    What?! Why do you think it's called political CORRECTness? Those are the objectively right opinions. Otherwise why would all the smart people hold them?

    Uh, yeah, average joes are what moviemakers totally hate. Did we not know that? For more information on this topic please consult peopleofwalmart.com. Then, come back and tell us how the average joes are OK. Hint: they're not.

  19. Re:Musk still claiming that review was "false" on SXSW: Elon Musk Talks Reusable Rockets, Tesla Controversy · · Score: 0

    The problem being that you, an anonymous person on the internet, are challenging a New York Times journalist and saying he lied. I'm sorry, but in the non-Fox News world, we rational people consider the NYT credible. They have centuries of history of speaking truth to power. If you have extraordinary claims, you need extraordinary proof. Curious: how did you vote in the 2012 election? If you voted Tea Party then that's all we need to know.

    Uh, hello, no? The NYT is one of the few independent, courageous institutions still doing the work of good people, along with NPR and PBS. You Fox News conservative anti-intellectuals are laying yourselves wide open to charges of racism, due to the NYT's progressive hiring policies. Who are you and where do you work? How would you like several hundred letters to your boss with a quotation of your post?

  21. Re:Wireless Africa on SXSW: How Mobile Devices Are Changing Africa · · Score: 1

    I fail to see where White racism has anything to do with this. This seems like a racist screed against Africans and Asians. Whites have a lot to answer for for Africa's maladies, why blame the victims?

    I love how your conspiracy theory conveniently ignores the fact that the Wright Brothers studied aerodynamics, which was why their aircraft flew and others' did not. That flying rowboat in the photo is not aerodynamic at all. Tell you what, you build a reproduction and make it fly. Others will build a Wright Flyer...oh wait they've already done that and it flies.

    Mao's Mausoleum is pretty much a standard stop in Tiananmen Square. It's like going to DC and giving the Washington Monument a miss. Are you like that guy who's always talking about how he doesn't own a television?

    I'm having trouble understanding this. He is an educated man, a Ph.D. no less. He is a man of maturity with a lifetime of experience. And yet he somehow thinks that a white bikini model wants his 68 year old shriveled cock? How do you even get to that point? Educated people don't do this. Did we fact-check this story for a hoax, because it's a good chance that it is.
