  1. No on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time For SyFy To Go Premium? · · Score: 1

    SyFy is run by morons and has been for ages. You can't fix stupid.

  2. Re:problem is, Unity is a disaster on Is Canonical the Next Apple? · · Score: 2

    I like Unity. Its very slick and well thought out. It hides the complexity and just gets out of the way. Gnome 3 is way too busy. I prefer the simplicty of Unity. Unity is the reason Ubuntu in years.

  3. Re:Due dilligence on Supreme Court To Hear Microsoft-i4i Case Monday · · Score: 1

    They could but they have a chronic shortage of patent examiners and a lack of funding.

  4. Re:No thanks! on Free DARPA Software Lets Gamers Hunt Submarines · · Score: 2

    If you are a US taxpayer, you already are.

  5. Only a week on Robots Find Wreckage of AF447 · · Score: 1

    It took less than a week to find the plane? (!). Wow.

  6. Re:Jordan on George RR Martin Finishes A Dance With Dragons · · Score: 1

    I agree with you 100%. "Pull a Jordan". The guy died of a terrible disease! How insensitive can one be?

  7. The combined company on How Sun Bought Apple Computer (Almost) · · Score: 3, Funny

    could have been called Snapple.

  8. Re:do-not-meddle-in-the-affairs-of-greedy-offsprin on Tolkien Estate Says No Historical Fiction For JRR · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ah you must mean Christopher Tolkien. He's been sucking off the teet of his father for decades.

  9. Nice and Easy on Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 Released · · Score: 5, Interesting

    MSE has been a lifesaver at our non profit. We put on all our clients' computers. It's free, works great and best of all, no nag screens to "Upgrade" to the pro version, etc. Nag screens tend to upset our consumers. So yes, It's great.

  10. Re:Isn't that three-letter acronym taken? on CDE — Making Linux Portability Easy · · Score: 1

    www.opencde.org

  11. Re:still not a planet per the IAU on Pluto Might Be Bigger Than Eris · · Score: 1

    If you put Earth out where Pluto is, it wouldn't clear it's orbit, either.

  12. Bye Bye bce0? on OpenBSD 4.8 Released · · Score: 1

    Disable bce(4) in i386 GENERIC and RAMDISK kernels.

    Why was this removed? Makes my latop not useable with OpenBSD.

  13. MySpace on Twitter Gets a Tweak · · Score: 1

    So it's becoming MySpace for next (?) generation?

  14. How about the An thrax attacks on Top Secret America · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "no successful terrorist acts on US soil since 9/11?"

    How the Anthrax attacks shortly after 9/11?

  15. Re:Who writes this crap? on HP Reportedly Cancels Plans for Windows 7 Tablet · · Score: 1

    And it's not Apple OS, it's iPhone OS.

  16. It might be just me on Opera Mini For iPhone Submitted To App Store Today · · Score: 1

    And my old(er) eyes, but web surfing on the iPhone is not really something i find a compelling feature of the device.

  17. Re:Speculation... on Dying Man Shares Unseen Challenger Video · · Score: 5, Interesting

    My father covered the launch for AP and he never said a word about it after he wrote the article about it.

  18. Fail on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    We certainly don't need to go back to the moon.
    FAIL
    Yes we do because it's there, it can provide useful science and insights about the cosmos. It's just like the space station only with gravity and built in supplies of water (ice) and doesn't need to be built by multiple runs of spacecraft or boosted into a higher orbit by same said spacecraft. Oh and it has a lot more room, too!

  19. Re:Confirmed! on Apple Tablet Rumor Wrap Up · · Score: 1

    Lame because it won't stop Slashdot editors from posting dupes. If it had that built in, I'd buy it.

  20. Re:Eternal game of catch-up on All GPLed Code Removed From MonoDevelop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Those three web sites that require Silverlight must be very important to you.

  21. Hey, you can recruit them on Monkeys With Syntax · · Score: 1

    They'd make great Slashdot editors! hahahahahahaha!

  22. Re:This isn't the first time this has happened. on Brian Aker Responds To RMS On Dual Licensing · · Score: 3, Informative

    People also forget he champions free as in speech software. He's never been anti commercial.

  23. Not really on Microsoft Leaks Details of 128-bit Windows 8 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It refers to a 128 bit filesystem ala ZFS, not the whole OS.

  24. Re:Suppress innovation on IBM Patents Tweeting Remote Control · · Score: 1

    That was a joke, son.

  25. It's now official on Wikipedia To Require Editing Approval · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Altering Wikipedia's implicit notion that everyone has an equal right to edit entries."

    "implicit" is the keyword here. Reality has been different for quite some time. They are only making it official policy now.
