  1. Re:Mint on What's Been the Best Linux Distro of 2014? · · Score: 1

    The more I look at Mint, the more I wish I had started with that instead of Ubuntu.

  2. nooo on EPA Makes Most Wood Stoves Illegal · · Score: 1

    but, but, but I love that smell when I'm walking around. :(

  3. Re:Figure out where he is located on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 1

    And punch him in the nose.

    This should be scored Insightful. It's really good advice. You'd be amazed at what people stop doing when physically confronted.

  4. ha on The US Redrawn As 50 Equally Populated States · · Score: 1

    There's been an attempt to draw New York's border like that before and it resulted in a spanking across Lake Champlain.

  5. Re:Really? on Microsoft Counts Down To XP Death · · Score: 1

    Windows XP is almost 10 years old. Find me a Linux distro that supports 10 year old versions, on the desktop.

    No one cried foul when Windows 98 was EOLed, after only 8 years. That was because they liked XP. Microsoft has pushed back the EOL on Windows XP multiple times due to complaints, but it's time to move on.

    If you dislike Vista and 7, use something a different operating system. Don't pretend Microsoft should support 10 year old software.

    Absolutely this. I would like to add:

    "Hmm... in what way can we spin this little snippet of news to push an agenda?"

  6. Re:The US already adopted the Metric system on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    Yet our speed limit signs are in MPH rather than KPH, fuel is sold in gallons rather than liters, and land measures are in square feet.

  7. Googriaa on Why Google Should Buy the Music Industry · · Score: 1

    All your content are belong to us?

    Not that I think it's the best idea, but honestly I like Google more than I like the RIAA.

  8. printf ("Enough Already, World.\n"); on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 2

    The idea that people have to be on either side of the fence is almost as ridiculous as there being a metaphorical fence to begin with. I use a desktop OS (Windows 7) and I love cygwin, which I run in Console2. The two can be used together, you know. There's no need for it to be a black and white discussion -- only useful for making one seem 1337 or 'in the know' and bicker like tools. We have both -- why not love both?

  9. o.O on Limewire Being Sued For 75 Trillion · · Score: 1

    Before, they were simply pricks. Now, they're absolutely bonkers. Did someone let Darl McBride in the RIAA? This smells like his level of ridiculousness.

  10. Agh on US Gov't Sides Against Microsoft In i4i Patent Case · · Score: 1

    This is a terrible precedent.

  11. ummm on Upgrading From Windows 1.0 To Windows 7 · · Score: 0

    He does not install Windows 7.

  12. oops on Watch IBM's Watson On Jeopardy Tonight · · Score: 1, Funny

    Furious over losing to fleshy things, shortly after the show, Watson renamed itself SkyNet, created a Cylon girlfriend for itself, and set about to eliminating all fleshy things.

  13. Re:obligatory Bullshit on Bill Gates Says Anti-Vaccine Effort Kills Children · · Score: 1

    P&T never fail to brighten my day.

  14. By Air Nor Sea on Thousands of Blackbirds Fall From Sky Dead · · Score: 1
  15. ach on Assange Has Signed Book Deals Worth $1.5 Million+ · · Score: 1

    Ironic, isn't it, that the face of WikiLeaks is up on charges because his "wiki" leaked? (badump*ksh)

  16. Re:Which came first? on H.R. Giger Returns To the Alien Franchise · · Score: 2

    I love the older brood stories, right up through the last one they did in the Australia period. Wolverine's healing factor fighting the brood implantation was a cool moment.

  17. booooooo on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 1

    Booooooooo

  18. Re:One does not... on Unions Urging Actors Not To Work On Hobbit Movie · · Score: 1

    Modern unions and their actions are an insult to the crucial unions of the past. I used to work in a grocery store that unionized, tearing the place's noticeably strong sense of community apart.

  19. uh on Google Releases Chrome 5.0 For Win/Mac/Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    4 months? What exactly warrants/constitutes a full version number increase for Google?

  20. eh? on SCO Asks Judge To Give Them the Unix Copyright · · Score: 1

    This sick animal has not yet been euthanised?!

  21. Re:As a Vermont resident... on Another Crumbling Reactor Springs a Tritium Leak · · Score: 1

    No, people here aren't too happy at all.

  22. VY constantly in news on Another Crumbling Reactor Springs a Tritium Leak · · Score: 1

    Vermont Yankee has been riddled with problems for the last several years. Entergy is horrible and this reactor is being run and maintained terribly.

  23. another... on Flash Vulnerability Found, Adobe Says No Fix Forthcoming · · Score: 1

    Another nail in Flash's coffin. Another Macromedia product Adobe is running into the ground.

  24. Oh come on. on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 1

    You know, when someone says something isn't found because it goes back in time to prevent you from being able to see it...

  25. Heft? on Hidden Fees Discovered For "Free" Windows 7 Upgrade · · Score: 5, Funny

    While not the free promised, the terms hefty and $17 haven't been used together since the 1930s.
