  1. Re:Wikipedia brings this on itself on Wikipedia Could Block 67 Million Verizon Customers · · Score: 1

    Jimbo Wales is well known for running an Ayn Rand mailing list

    I like how you drop that in there like it's akin to burning babies with a lit cigarette.



    In summary, your list of Wikipedia criticisms comes down to:
    1. "Jimbo" Wales likes Ayn Rand.
    2. "Jimbo" looks up to Nobel Laureate Friedrich Hayek.
    3. "Jimbo" engages in some supposed favoritism with certain editors.
    4. WP has bias in some articles pertaining to the Middle East.
    5. You can't add links to the WP criticisms page.


    Your criticisms are insanely weak when compared to the greater good Wikipedia has unleashed on this planet.
    Note: I am neither an editor or a contributor to WP but I do use the site daily.

    I think you can locate his posting history through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zsfgseg

    Semi-humorous:

    This blocked user (block log | active blocks | autoblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs | abuse log) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

    Request reason: "I wont vandalise anymore! Unblock me. Give me another chance!"

  3. Re:Hmm, Pity... on UK Terror Chief Blocked From Boarding Aircraft · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    People should take the tactic of assaulting the assailants. Next time you are in an airport, refuse the scan and start generating some really erotic thought to pop the biggest boner you can. Imagine how uncomfortable a man or woman security guard (especially a man) would be if they had to grope a grown man that has a boner on that is about to tear through his pants. Bonus points if you post it to youtube.

  4. Re:Care time? on Royal Navy Website Hacked, Passwords Revealed · · Score: 1

    I like you're IDEA of randomly bolding things.

    If you think the bolding is random then you need to re-read the comment.

  5. Care time? on Royal Navy Website Hacked, Passwords Revealed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If the navy's website was actually connected to any operational naval computer systems, yielded more than just the names and passwords of contractor web developers, housed actual classified operational information of the royal navy or was due to a flaw in a piece of software written by the navy for mission-critical systems then I MIGHT CARE.

    But, it doesn't, so I DON'T.

  6. Re:Jesus! 30 months!!? on Former Student Gets 30 Months For Political DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    One thing I've learned about hardened criminals is that you will NEVER get the truth. Everyone in jail/prison will swear to their grave they were just there and didn't have any knowledge of wrong-doing. 99.99% of people doing time are habitual liars and absolutely incapable of speaking or acknowledging the truth. You either did five years without learning this lesson or you are one of them. I'm guessing it's the latter (no offense :D ).

  11. Re:Who uses Safari? on IE9 May Not Be Enough To Save IE · · Score: 1

    This is it. It didn't even cross my mind at first. I feel stupid too because I use chrome on my Droid since Firefox is still in beta and feels very unfinished.

  12. Who uses Safari? on IE9 May Not Be Enough To Save IE · · Score: 1

    The only two browsers gaining are Chrome and Safari — and both browsers have hit new record market shares.

    The only way I can imagine this has happened is because it is due to the rise in market share for iMacs and people are just using the browser that came with the OS. I run iMacs in my house and never run Safari, though.

  13. See! on Inside Google's Anti-Malware Operation · · Score: 1

    To find malware-distribution sites, Google uses a huge number of virtual machines running completely unpatched versions of Windows and Internet Explorer that they point at potentially malicious URLs.

    Windows IS useful! Time to go cash in on some bets.

  17. Bottom Line. on Global Warming's Silver Lining For the Arctic Rim · · Score: 1

    The climate is changing. It is ALWAYS changing with or without us. Whether humans have an effect on the rate of change doesn't matter at this point. If you think we are going to turn this boat around, then get a grip. It's like trying to cure 6 billion heroin addicts at once. Expect the change and deal with it.

  18. Re:The Best Java Script Engine Available... on Firefox 4's JavaScript Now Faster Than Chrome's · · Score: 1

    Most JS code on websites is for marketing data (i.e. demandbase.com here on Slashdot). Feel free to let all that garbage to run on your machine that can eat up your load times and CPU cycles so you can feed those companies your info, weirdo.

  20. Newton, the Mad Man on Sir Isaac Newton, Alchemist · · Score: 1

    "Newman adds that Newton's alchemical investigations helped yield one of his fundamental breakthroughs in physics: his discovery that white light is a mixture of colored rays that can be recombined with a lens. 'I would go so far as to say that alchemy was crucial to Newton's breakthroughs in optics"

    Sir Isaac Newton did A TON of crazy shit. Two events in particular led to his famous paper, "Opticks":
    1. He stuck a letter opener in his eye socket next to his eyeball and would turn it to put pressure on his eye to change its shape. This gave him some insight about lenses.
    2. He stared into the sun so long one time that he had to remain locked in his completely blacked-out room for 3 days for his retina to recover. He was nearly rendered permanently blind from this stunt.
