  1. Re:Food for thought... on Machine Gun Fire From Military Helicopters Flying Over Downtown Miami · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who controls those choppers? It's Obama going to war, conservatives are purely defensive. Incidents like this are "sending a message", we WILL fire on you.

  2. Re:North Korea? on Japan Launches Two New Spy Satellites · · Score: 2

    Russia wants to join NATO? Hilarious. Where'd you pick that one up?

  3. Re:Article summary: "I am a Mac fanboi" on What Early Software Was Influential Enough To Deserve Acclaim? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Learning history does have its advantages. "Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." Same principle applies to other software.

  4. Re:Guangdong Real Faith Pingzhou Electronics Co. on Chinese Supplier Gets Dumped By Apple For Fraudulently Using Underage Labor · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, that sounds right. It has the city name and the type of business. Some of the words in company names describe abstract concepts that don't translate very well. If you shove them, they'll translate, but then you end up with Chinglish-y sounding names like this.

  5. Why the odd headline? on Chinese Supplier Gets Dumped By Apple For Fraudulently Using Underage Labor · · Score: 0

    OK, why is the angle on this story not "Apple caught using child labor"? It was the last time this story happened.

  6. Let's kowtow! on Anonymous Warhead Targets US Sentencing Commission · · Score: 4, Funny

    Idea: let's give in to what they want. Bow deeply and honestly, and maybe they might forgive us our sins. What could possibly go wrong? After all, these attacks would certainly cease.

  7. Re:TED: Mike Rowe on Unemployed Chinese Graduates Say No Thanks To Factory Jobs · · Score: 0

    With dirty jobs you mix with rednecks. NOBODY wants to mix with rednecks. They are the hate receptacles of our culture. Mike Rowe forgot to say that in his lecture, eh?

  8. Re:If it's racist then it's accurate on Lego Accused of Racism With Star Wars Set · · Score: 1

    Let me guess, you're one of those people who sees racism in his popcorn at the movies. Maybe you're seeing racism everywhere because you've been conditioned to see it everywhere...sort of like a Baptist preacher who gets out of seminary school and whammo...demons are everywhere, causing all kinds of ills!

  9. Re:Which states? on Multi-State AT&T U-Verse Outage Enters Third Day · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    +5 funny? WTF, how did this racist shit get modded up? Those are all states with large African-American minorities.

    They are releasing it to find out what bugs are in it, then they will fix in the next version. Where do you live where this doesn't happen?

  11. Re:The amusing part... on 'Bankrupt' Australian Surgeon Sues Google For Auto-Complete · · Score: 1
    What would you have him do? Sit back while an imperialistic foreign corporation rolls all over him?

    With any luck, the 'bankrupt' articles will now lead to the controversy, at least giving him a fig leaf of cover for his humiliation.

  12. Re:Why the fuck is this even on Slashdot? on Pakistan Boycotting Call of Duty, Medal of Honor Games · · Score: 0, Troll
    You are an English speaker with education and access to high technology. Your countrymen are viciously sensitive to any suggestion that they might be culpable for terrorism while enthusiastically supporting the same. Your "bigger fish to fry" argument doesn't hold water. When OBL was killed, the national mood of humiliation wasn't "we said we didn't have him and were lying through our teeth the whole time", it was "the Mighty Pak Army[tm] couldn't defend our sacred territory".

    Yes, sacred territory. Quick quiz for the Westerner, what does "Pakistan" even mean? Don't answer if you already know.

    That's the editor's job.

    Yeah, on Slashdot...I crack myself up. Editors!

  14. Re:No one does anything for nothing on BEST Study Finds Temperature Changes Explained by GHG Emissions and Volcanoes · · Score: 0
    The last time we've heard Five-Year Plan? Huh? Do we even know what those were? They were the economic programs of Socialist countries, and they were a blood-soaked mass of lies.

    The market is still in the hands of the consumer? WTF? So, someone else should control it? Who, you and the Council of Alphas?

    Yeah, I can see you don't know expats. They interact with the local culture as little as possible.

  17. Re:Let us remember... on Kim Dotcom's 'Mega' Storage Site Arrives · · Score: 1
    Wow, did you actually just say "anyone who disagrees with me is stupid"?

    Maybe you're not as smart as you think you are.

  18. Re:Embrace, Extend, Extinguish on Wikimedia Foundation Launches Wikivoyage · · Score: 1

    Nope. Wikitravel still ranks very, very high on Google for travel results. Especially once you get into smaller locations with less written about them and hence less competition in the search rankings.

  19. Re:Of course not on After Aaron Swartz's Death, the Focus Now Falls On the Prosecutors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh, so you support battered wives being forced to recant by angry husbands? Prosecutors have discretion over pressing charges for a reason.

  20. Re:Guess where will it be cheapest to operate Baxt on A Humanoid Robot Named "Baxter" Could Revive US Manufacturing · · Score: 2

    So, in other words, don't create anything. Don't earn your keep. Become a "useless eater". Nice.

    Funny how Americans are all TV-watching morons until this topic comes up, then we are a nation driven by natural curiosity and scientific spirit. Did anyone not notice that elephant in the room?

  21. Re:Medical Device Testing illegally??? on Dean Kamen Invents Stomach Pump For Dieters · · Score: 1

    All of those scenarios sound far-fetched. "Aspiration pneumonia"? Obesity is a well-recognized health hazard. Certainly it is worth taking all the risks you mention to lose weight.

    Dean Kamen is one of the good guys. It's not appropriate to call what he does "madness of the morons." I suggest education to remedy this ignorance.

  22. Re:It's even in the same paragraph this time! on NIH Neuroscientists: Junior Seau Had Brain Disease Caused By Hits To the Head · · Score: 1

    This just in: racists look at race first whenever any topic comes up, and can only see skin deep when looking at issues. Pathetic.

  23. Re:Oh Apple... on Rejection of Reality: Apple Denies Endgame:Syria · · Score: 1
    Oh, they weren't *against* it. It was pure projection. They thought that IBM had it, and desired it for themselves.

    Really sad how Apple couldn't define themselves without reference to IBM. Apple's famous motto: "Think Different". IBM's motto: "Think". It's just a ripoff, and yet these days nobody knows or even cares.

    Hold on for a minute there - "society poisoned these people"? Like someone sat around cackling and had the idea to start a crime wave? Or is it because you got the idea that the oil companies can be blamed somehow, and are working backwards from there?

    Yoshinoya? Traditional? Yeah, because the shin meat of elderly Australian dairy cattle mixed with gristle was SO part of the samurai diet circa 1640...
