    Not at all, it was very kind of him to give her the privilege of deleting them herself.

    ...and find out that charm works better than being stiff.

    Ron Jeremy begs to differ.

  6. Re:Dubious... on Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page · · Score: 2

    Granted, but do we need to feel quite so superior?

  7. Re:Let me make a prediction... on Ars Looks At In-Flight Internet — State of the Art vs. Things To Come · · Score: 4, Funny

    So 98% are egocentric asshats who think there is only one reality, and it's *theirs*. And the other 2% only aren't, because they are too dumb for it.

    Sounds about right... ;)

    That only applies to people who actually post a comment. Those of us who aren't posting in this discussion are the intellig...
     
    ...oh, damn! :(

  8. Re:Love this ... on Canadian Music Industry Copyright Class Action Settled · · Score: 2

    You forgot Canada's greatest recording artist.

    Pfft, newb. Mine is imprinted on the cosmic background radiation.

  10. Re:I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this one.. on Anti-Porn Facebook Page is Deleted, Then Restored · · Score: 1

    To the Bhudist Thais, swatting a fly is immoral.

    What if it's the fly on Gingrich's trousers, and you're swatting it with a baseball bat?

  11. Re:Cultural Identification in Food on Think I'm Not American? Pass the Hamburgers. · · Score: 1

    Here's a clue: Real cheese - good cheese - ISN'T FUCKING ORANGE!!!

    Double Gloucester is.

  12. Re:If it crashed its not stealth anymore on Crashed Helicopter Sparks Concern Over Stealth Secrets · · Score: 1

    If it crashed its not stealth anymore.

    Nonsense, if anything it's less likely to be spotted on radar...

  13. Re:i am not a psychologist... on A Court's Weak Argument For Blocking IP Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    You're allowed to have that opinion if you like, and you might even be right despite no training. Lack of qualifications simply means you have no legal authority to do anything about it.

  14. Re:45k in lines on The World's Smallest Video Camera · · Score: 2, Funny

    I had to look that up.

    Weak.

    In Soviet Russia, cystoscopy looks up...actually, that's how it works everywhere.

  15. Typical Public Transport on Endeavour Launch Delayed For At Least 48 Hours · · Score: 2

    Is there no government run transport system that runs to schedule?

  16. Time Is An Illusion on The Importance of Lunch · · Score: 2

    Lunchtime doubly so. Therefore anyone you have lunch with is merely a figment of your imagination.

  17. Re:First thing they need to do on Is Canonical the Next Apple? · · Score: 1

    I'd guess since it's printed in large type on the installer disks and boxes, quite a lot. My observation is the non-technical naming scheme seems to work well for people who aren't that technically inclined, and very few of the Mac users I encounter know which minor point revision they're on.

  18. Re:They should be doing even more on Wal-Mart Tests Online Grocery Delivery · · Score: 2

    Amazon Fresh sounds like a deodorant for tall, aggressive women.

  19. Re:Gonna be a lot of really disappointed patients on Bionic Leg Undergoing Clinical Trials · · Score: 1

    My guess is they saw the Benny Hill Show and decided against increasing the frame rate.

  20. Re:*sigh* on Why People Should Stop Being Duped By the 3D Scam · · Score: 1

    About the only Microsoft product I can think of that hasn't generated highly polarised opinion is the Kinect.

  21. Re:Gonna be a lot of really disappointed patients on Bionic Leg Undergoing Clinical Trials · · Score: 1

    Well that hardly seems sporting!

  22. Re:*sigh* on Why People Should Stop Being Duped By the 3D Scam · · Score: 1

    Not really: Microsoft is a major technology company, its products and actions always spark brisk discussions and much fanboyism (both for and against) on Slashdot, so it seems like an obvious candidate for such a list.

    I fail to see how "not that I'm reading anything into that particular omission" is anything but a clear statement of neutrality, except possibly to someone with a huge chip on their shoulder.

    That always bugged me about The Six Million Dollar Man. He was supposed to be able to run incredibly fast, but it always took him forever to get anywhere. It was maddening!

    Actually, rectums are not usually full of crap; they act as temporary storage of fecal matter.

    When the rectum is full, you'll feel the urge to defecate.

    Still a valid analogy for TFA.

    I'm surprised that a farmer isn't more au fait with this kind of knowledge. I presume you're arable-only.

    Render farm. The only thing that grows here is the work queue.

    Opinions are like rectums: everyone has one, and usually they're full of crap.
