  1. Re:I loved the BBC article on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 1

    The secret is to exaggerate the monetary loss. The FBI won't get involved with anything less than a loss of $50,000 so just lie when you report the amount...something big like $200,000 to get their attention. You can always revise it downwards to $4,000 after you get a conviction. True story!

  2. Re:How long will it take people to learn? on Aussie Minister Backs Down on Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    Actually, not incidental whatsoever - communism is inherently atheist, and violently so. The reason makes a lot of sense: the State doesn't want any competition in the morals department. The government will tell you what's right and wrong, we don't need any outsiders interfering with their crazy ideas about forgiveness and understanding.

    Hey buddy - you've got a spot there, your racism is showing.

  4. Re:Ugh. on How Do I Make My Netbook More Manly? · · Score: 1
    Portraying an image of masculinity is what's important here. Women like masculine men.

    Your rather useless comments about makeup and plucking eyebrows (wtf? seriously) are only applicable to your own tiny social clique not shared by the world at large. As a matter of fact, the suggestions are obviously to increase masculinity, but only in a way that makes sense the insular group you travel in. Besides, the whole topic was sort of a joke in the first place, get the sand out of your vagina already.

  5. Re:Tariffs on IBM Tries To Patent Offshoring · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nah, he's just another idiot who doesn't understand how the world works. My first thought on the comment was "he just reinvented the tariff. Probably thinks it a great innovation, as well!" Free trade has been of enormous benefit to the entire world, tariffs are such a pain in the ass to deal with in business.

    Oh yeah - let me get started on that. Ah right, I won't be doing that, and nobody else will, either. Don't you just love those useless "RTFM" style answers to real problems?

  7. Welcome to 1983 on Violent Video Games Can Improve Vision · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    They had the same study out in 1983. Watching small objects dart around improves hand-eye coordination, who-da thunk it? The only difference is putting the yellow journalism label "violent video games" on it and getting Slashdot front page coverage.

    I would tone down the hateful bigotry in your posts...understanding and tolerance are the keys to success in today's world.

    Child porn IS child abuse, dumbass. It's just shocking how ill-informed the general slashdot reader is about laws and realities that have been around for decades, if not centuries. Let me guess - you have other stone-age ideas like blamimg the child for allowing the photos, eh?

  11. Re:Tiananmen Square on China Blocks YouTube, Again · · Score: 1, Interesting
    The students were viewed as dangerous radicals, set to change China from an Iraq-style stable dictatorship into an Iraq-style civil war with a democracy wrapping on top. They were elitists who had very little support outside their own little clique. However, they were lionized and idolized by certain Westerners who found the famous photo romantic, and for no other reason.

    PS the Olympic games are for sale to whoever wants to pay. I thought we settled that back when Salt Lake City got caught for bribery (it worked, too).

    Lee Harvey Oswald: from New Orleans, Louisana. George W. Bush: from New Haven, Connecticut.

    Maybe you're just a bigot who characterizes people by their place of national origin. Perhaps the stupid is all on your side of the table.

  13. Re:This just goes to show on Strip-Search Case Tests Limits of 4th Amendment · · Score: 1
    If they showed any tolerance, it wouldn't be a zero-tolerance policy.

    These laws were enacted for a reason - kids were getting away with murder, and not being deterred by punishments. Zero-tolerance laws make every case an equal case. Standard procedures, punishments, and so on. The authorities can't make exceptions for the superintendent's son, the principal's daughter, or anyone else. It's all enforced equality, which I can understand makes people angry (who are used to privilege).

    Cities? Stupid people? Poor? Why don't you just go ahead and take off the hood, say what you mean: you don't like black people. Sickening this racism is moderated "+3 Insightful" (or at least it is at the time of this posting)

  17. Re:bats and birds, anyone? on New Laser System Targets Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    A common misconception - bats don't prey on mosquitoes in the neighborhood of their home, they leave and roam the countryside for miles around looking for food. Like most environmental ideas, it's nothing but a "feel-good" ethic being exploited by clever marketers.

  18. Re:Is this gonna be like CB radio? on IBM Develops Technology To Talk To Web · · Score: 1

    It's "y'all", as in, a contraction of "you all". It's a second-person plural pronoun in English. The langauge lacks a way of telling if one is speaking to a single person or group of people - rather primitive, in that just about every other langauge on the planet has this innovation. If you're going to ridicule others' language, at least ridicule it correctly. Thanks!

  19. Re:Cool name: Syfy = filth [in polish] on Sci Fi Channel Becoming Less Geek-Centric "SyFy" · · Score: 1
    In Polish, is there no difference between "syf" and "syfy"? Because from over here, they look like two different words, one with 3 letters and one with 4.

    You know, in English, "polish" means to rub vigorously. In English slang, that means to masturbate. Maybe you should consider changing the name of your language?

    Ridiculous. Refreshed with the blood of patriots. So, is it you who will stand up and take a couple of bullets in the chest for your beliefs? I didn't think so. It's just like during Bush, when angry liberals ranted about the constitution and waited for someone else to start the revolution (which they would then support with firmly-worded weblog posts and paypal donations).
