  1. Re:That monstrosity in Windows8 IS NOT the answer. on Microsoft Killed the Start Menu Because No One Uses It · · Score: 1

    You work for Apple, don't you?

  2. Re:Yeah. on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With the Business Software Alliance? · · Score: 2

    Um...they're not the police, don't let them in. Unless there's a court order, tell them to buzz off.

  3. Re:Like Music on Frustrated Judge Pushes For Solution In Google Books Case · · Score: 1

    Thanks for making me read that in Stephen Merchant's voice.

  4. Re:Really bad idea. on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    It tends to be senior citizens that make roundabouts problematic. They'll sit there and wait until it's 100% clear to go, which could take a very, very long time, depending on the volume of traffic.

    I appreciate them, especially on motorcycles. In most places, they'd be just as good to put one way on a blinking yellow and the other on permanent green 90% of the time.

  5. Re:Who uses Thunderbird? on Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 5 · · Score: 2

    I will likely run my own mail server until the day I die or the technology becomes obsolete. It's my mail, hands off.

  6. Re:Plugins needlessly broken by new version number on Microsoft Exploits Firefox 4 Uproar, Beats IE Drum · · Score: 1

    ...and this explains why NoScript still doesn't exist for Chrome. :(

  7. Re:Lulzsec twitter feed stopped at time of arrest on LulzSec Suspect Arrested By UK Police · · Score: 2
  8. Re:Microsoft should know... on Microsoft Brands WebGL a 'Harmful' Technology · · Score: 1

    I look at it this way - if everyone but them supports it and uses it, they will have their hand forced into supporting it. Otherwise you'll have more javascript "go download a *real* browser to use this site/webapp" and more exodus from IE.

  9. Re:Data plan cost the same on Unlocked iPhones in US For $649 · · Score: 1

    Been using my iPhone(s) on T-Mobile since day 1. I have Wifi at home, and I have an "iSpot" from clearwire that gives me wimax when I'm not at home. Still far cheaper than AT&T. :)

  10. Re:This is /., not Digg. on Crowdsourcing Analysis of the Palin Email Trove · · Score: 1

    Upvote? Reddit is better these days anyway. :P

  11. Re:Stupid! on Could Apple Kill Off Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    My knee-jerk is really simple - if it's jailed, I don't want it. End of story.

  12. Re:...and they concluded? on Using Averages To Bend the Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 1

    No. They have finally made the Heisenberg Compensator so they can subsequently uncouple it and free Moriarty from the holodeck. Duh.

  13. Re:Going back to 1998... on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Oh hush, grandpa. Based on your uid you joined the site back in 1972.

  14. Re:Going back to 1998... on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. :)

  15. Re:Going back to 1998... on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Your UID is too high to make that joke.

  16. Cold....sooooooo...ffffffffreeeaakkkking.....COLD! on Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold · · Score: 2

    It's the beginning of summer....why is it so cold in here!

  17. In soviet russia... on Amazon Gags On Gaga · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...Lady Gaga gags on you? Soviet Russia might be better than I'd first thought!

  18. Re:What's the big deal? on AppleCare Reps Told To Skirt Malware Questions · · Score: 1

    I would argue that it's worse now. Apple users are trained to hand over their sudo password on command. Ubuntu users aren't much better.

  19. Re:Higgs boson has arisen? on Rumors of Higgs Boson Discovery At LHC · · Score: 1

    I've never read or seen any of Twilight. Methinks your IQ was already halved for having recognized the connection.

  20. Re:This is why zero-knowledge services are better on Dropbox Can't See Your Dat– Er, Never Mind · · Score: 1

    Actually, that's BS. The source is right there on your computer. You just have to look. It's in ruby.

  21. SpiderOak on Dropbox Can't See Your Dat– Er, Never Mind · · Score: 1

    http://www.spideroak.com/

    Go give them some love, will ya? Great company, actually zero-knowledge...replete with performance issues caused by it. Give your business to someone that's doing it right.

    Captain Obvious! To the rescue!

  23. Re:Not bothered on Why Has Blu-ray Failed To Catch Hold? · · Score: 0

    You mean the media, or the drive?

    Where can I buy a $100 blue ray writer?

  24. Re:Too much? on NYTimes Unveils Online Subscription Plan · · Score: 1

    How are you going to get the proper article link to link it?
