  1. Good Grief. on The Bugatti Veyron · · Score: -1

    Yet another horrible article. I mean what do you say about journalism (?) like this:

    Essentially, Bugatti made the decision to blow the doors off the supercar world by creating a 1,000-horsepower engine. Everything else follows from that resolution.

  2. Stunning on What The Internet Isn't · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What a stunningly boring and pointless article. I can usually pull myself, with significant pain, through an article this tedious. Not this time.

    I particularly like that the article starts off with a byline, but the authors' names aren't even linked to more information about the authors. I guess these two are such icons of punditry that everyone immediately knows who they are? T. D. US.

  3. Roland Blogbooster on The Swarmbots Are Coming · · Score: 1

    Why does /. keep posting pointers to these summaries? They add absolutely nothing whatsoever to the article.

  4. Re:Going up... on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 1

    How is this a submarine patent? And why is it moderated as "5: Interesting"? It wasn't interesting, or anything else for that matter. How about "5: Uninformed"? "5: Ignorant" perhaps? Anyway, here's an article that explains what submarine patents are, since you apparently don't know.

  5. Piquepaille adds nothing except self promotion on Nanotechnology: Are Molecular Assemblers Possible? · · Score: 1

    I've recently noticed that Roland Piquepaille has submitted a lot of stories to slashdot. What do they all have in common? They are self promotion pieces pointing the reader back at Roland's blog. What do you find there? A few paragraphs excerpted from the real story, and a link to the real story. What value does Roland add? _ZERO_.

    Why do the slashdot editors condone this blatant self promotion? I thought that was exclusively their province.

  6. Re:Nice, but not really a positive thing. on NVIDIA's Latest CineFX Card Under Linux · · Score: 1

    The graphics companies are able to differentiate their market (those that will pay a large premimum for antialiased lines and those that won't, for example) and as a result make more money from those who are willing to spend more money. What's the big deal?

    Dirty hippies.

  7. Re:Nice, but not really a positive thing. on NVIDIA's Latest CineFX Card Under Linux · · Score: 1

    How nice that you've made a martyr of yourself. I can picture you standing heroically in the face of the oncoming storm, refusing to budge from your proud position of "I will use software to which I have the source code." How noble. How worthwhile.

    How pointless.

  8. Humor in Uniform on TCP/IP Header Bit Added to Improve Security · · Score: 1

    When I want a really good laugh I open Reader's Digest to "Humor in Uniform" and chuckle until I pee myself. But boy, all this /. kookiness is definitely giving them a run for their money.

  9. Slashdot: lame April 1 jokes for strokers on GTA: Sin City Announced · · Score: 1

    So, all of slashdot is just lame April 1 jokes? How tedious. Usually /. is tedious about things that are at least interesting.

  10. Re:How pathetic on Rambus Wins Case Against Infineon · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Exactly what is "in my not so humble opinion" supposed to mean in this case? Is "FuzzyBad-Mofo" widely acknowledged as having an educated opinion on the subject of DRAM interfaces?

    Or is he just another uninformed /o'er trumpeting his "Yeah, I hate them too!" opinion as loudly as possible?

  11. strokers on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Oh how these stroker questions are adored. The automatic assumption that Windows is crap and we'd all be using something else, anything else, if there wasn't some overriding factor controlling our destiny -- Windows-specific pornographic video games in all likelihood.

    Strokers.

  12. What a pretentious boob. on The Empire Stumbles · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is there something wrong with Katz? Or it just the "Slashdot Fathead Syndrome"? I mean cripes, what a pretentious load. Granted, I didn't read more than the first paragraph, but that should be enough for anyone.

  13. $5 to read the opinions of morons without ads? on Announcing Slashdot Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    So I'm supposed to give you $5 for the privilege of reading the opinions of morons without ads?

    Hell, I can't even get you half-wits to realize that hiding visited links by changing them to be the same color as regular text is a bad idea.

    I'm firmly in the f***-slashdot camp -- I'll relish using the free mirrors that show up.

    All you "I'm upgrading to the latest alpha release of the kernel to get support for USB anal-egg" can go hang yourselves. I'll be curious to see what real company would want to hire on such a useless pile of deadweight.

  14. than, not then on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 1

    The word "than" is used to compare two things. For example, "I hate you more than I hate Osama." The word "then" indicates a sequence or causality. For example, "If I read slashdot then I will get annoyed." In this case you love this woman more THAN life itself, your cat, etc. If she says yes THEN you will be incredibly happy, your cat will no longer hide from you, etc.

  15. wankers on Fighting For Privacy With Art and Words · · Score: 1

    Why do you wankers have to comment each and every ****ing time that the tremendous and FREE New York Times website requires registration? Is that such an unbearable burden. Get off your stupid high horse.

  16. Re:Interesting Metric on Knuth's Volume IV Preview Available Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    In my opinion, you are a stroker.
