  1. Re:US on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Place To Relocate? · · Score: 1

    Agreed with you until I saw you compare US Republicans and the Conservatives in UK. Sorry - there is no comparison. The Democrats in US is more right-wing than the Conservatives in UK.

  2. Re:Alastair Reynolds on Ask Slashdot: Most Underappreciated Sci-Fi Writer? · · Score: 1

    True - Reynolds' not for everyone. But clearly worth the effort if you like good SciFi. I guess we are the complete opposites as I felt Iain Banks was a bit too simple and hurried.

  3. Re:My immediate response was on Internet Billionaire Creates Huge Physics Prize · · Score: 1

    This is no BS - we'll now probably see bankers moving into quantum physics too!

  4. Re:Fusion on Internet Billionaire Creates Huge Physics Prize · · Score: 1

    That was just the crews recreational quarters

  5. Re:Donate $2 billion, get this free coffee mug on Space Scientists Looking To Crowd-Fund Planetary Exploration · · Score: 1

    I'ts not racist - just simple minded...

  6. Re:sports stars on Why You Should Be More Interested In Mars Than the Olympics · · Score: 2

    Actually - Kate Moss is a bad example. She's one of the few that can do the 'anorectic' look without looking too unhealthy.

  7. Re:Classy on Jack Daniels Shows How To Write a Cease and Desist Letter · · Score: 2

    I've seen so many people claiming that MS tags their legal software as pirated that I think MS is just doing this to avoid the problems.

  8. Re:And now the neo-cons will scream about SLS on Details of Chinese Moon Rocket Emerge · · Score: 1

    Save itself from what?

    People that do not see any issues with the way we live today!

  9. Re:World Pride 2012 on Google Launches International Campaign For Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    I can do one better.... "I'm proud of being white" - because I then get that lovely pinkish colour when staying in the sun for too long!

  10. Re:Get over yourselves on Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest · · Score: 1

    There's no more bias in Norway than in Denmark - if any, it's less. Honestly, I do not see any need to exclude Norway and Sweeden at all.

  11. Re:Childish on Raunchy Dance Routine a PR Nightmare For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It just means you only laugh at sophisticated dirty jokes, not the ones an 9-year-old makes.

  12. Re:Pretty damn simple on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't You Running KDE? · · Score: 1

    It is capable of doing that, you just have to configure it to do it :)

  13. Re:ESA != EU on European Scientists Make a Case For a Return To the Moon · · Score: 1

    No, it's neither. ESA are some European countries, both from within EU and outside (Norway & Switzerland), with Canada as a groupie and a few hang-arounds (Turkey etc.).

  14. Re:Really? on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 2

    Incorrect. They left England because they couldn't religiously oppress others.

  15. Re:Really? on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 1

    Just the fact that which god you pray to depends 90% on which country you were born in, argues that there is no true god.

  16. Re:What do I use mine for? on Speech Recognition Using the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Dude - you need to uninstall Ubuntu!

  17. Re:Nanny State on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 1

    People are just too stupid to live a healthy and balanced life without someone watching over them! Nanny states are needed!

  18. Re:Is It Just Me? on SpaceX and Bigelow Aerospace Team Up For Trips To Private Space Habitats · · Score: 2

    It's just you

  19. Re:just another reason to hate jesus freaks on Archaeologists Find Oldest Known Mayan Calendar · · Score: 1

    You must have read another version of the history than I have. After the muslim conquest of Egypt, Coptic christians got their freedom, which they've previously lost. Their churches were returned after being seized by earlier conquerors.

    The only option they received were to either convert to Islam, or pay taxes. They choose to pay...

  20. Am I the only... on Introducing SlashBI · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...slashdotter which works with BI and find this interesting?

    Well... They're among Fortune 500 - They must be doing something right.

  22. Re:need remote/cloud applications on Why Desktop Linux Hasn't Taken Off · · Score: 1

    For you, yes. But Photoshop is not the reason for most people.

  23. Re:Debian on Slackware: I'm Not Dead Yet! · · Score: 1

    So, when do you run Slackware?

    I use it in both 1st and 3rd - 2nd one I'm not sure what is.

  24. Re:And? on Slackware: I'm Not Dead Yet! · · Score: 1

    You could always use the tool slackware uses to reinstall everything? slackpkg works perfectly fine. But that doesn't solve the problem either :)

  25. Re:Very brief summary on MIT Fusion Researchers Answer Your Questions · · Score: 3, Funny

    When did a 6 digit UID become "awesome"? I think I missed that day...
