  1. Great on The Programmer Who Could Save Tivo · · Score: 1, Funny

    should mod you up Funny

    good one, really.

  3. You should on Microsoft Windows: A Lower Total Cost of 0wnership · · Score: 1
    feel twice as guilty with a sig like that...

    What incredible irony.

  4. It's not that sad on Student Killed Driving Solar Car · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The kid had to know that driving that car on the road with "regular" cars was the vehicular equivalent to entering an American Football game naked.

    When it's Bus vs. Bicycle, the bus ALWAYS wins.

  5. Applause on Dealing with Intruders? · · Score: 1
    A digital "slap to the forehead"

    Awesome.

  6. God Damn It on You've Got PC · · Score: 1

    I selected Plain Old Text and it still interpreted the less than sign as a tag member.

    Piece of shit.

  9. Imagine that. on Hackers, Public Differ Greatly On E-voting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The experts know more than the general public. Will wonders never cease?

  10. I can't believe it. on Publisher Renames 'Katie.com' · · Score: 4, Funny
    A large corporation has finally done something right.

    Wait, what's the catch?

  11. Thank you on German Court Says GPL is Valid · · Score: 1
    for making that point. I should have mentioned that in my original post

    *slaps forehead*

  12. I have on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 4, Interesting
    read /. from the inside of the cab of a 360 ton mining truck on my iPaq 4150.

    Top that.

  13. No, it can't on German Court Says GPL is Valid · · Score: 2, Informative
    be used as precedent in the legal system of the United States. Only rulings handed down from US courts can be used as precedent.

    BTW, IANAL.

  14. It's nice on German Court Says GPL is Valid · · Score: 4, Interesting

    but that won't help us in the United States. Unfortunately, our government doesn't take heed from European countries anymore. Sad. We won't take counsel in our closest allies.

  15. Re:In Japan... on Using Plants as Speakers · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't have the plants say anything. I would hook up the corn field next to my house and play "Won't Get Fooled Again" as loud as it would go.

  16. It would become easier on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: 4, Insightful
    if the developers would actually take into consideration how the interface is going to be used in the Real World, not the world where everyone is a techno-whiz-bang-'puter-gu-ru-genius.

    This is serious, people. I do not know of any other product where the designers/developers are so far removed from the end user. Something that makes perfect sense to a highly trained, technically capable person will make absolutely no sense to a person who has trouble remembering 2 passwords. Really.

  17. Not to make light on Japanese Schoolchildren to be Tagged with RFID · · Score: 1

    of your daughter's condition, but did anyone else instantly think she worked in a stone quarry?

  18. Re:Quote misattributed on Akamai: How They Fought Recent DDoS Attacks · · Score: 5, Insightful
    The workplace is not a classroom, nor should it be treated as such.

    If you have not realized that every place is a classroom, then, my friend, you have not learned a single thing.

  19. Dear God, on Microsoft Patents The Body Bus · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Please don't let the parent of this post breed and infect our gene pool with his ignorance and stupidity.

    Amen.

  20. Re:And in other news.... on Microsoft Patents The Body Bus · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Microsoft sues every living thing that has a nervous system. They are all electrical, right? They all pass data, right? They have input/output devices, right?

    We are really screwed now.

  21. Hmmm. on Drexler Clarifies Grey Goo Scenario · · Score: 1
    The tool on a nanobot would have to be made out of atoms, making it tough to manipulate things on a sub-atomic level

    Again with the "we can't do it now so it can't be done" stuff.

    The grey goo isn't waste, it's the nanomachines themselves. If they replicate exponentially without end, you get this flood of lil' bots consuming everything, and the grey goo eats the Earth. You can see how that'd be a problem.

    Point well taken, I didn't see that.

  22. Hold on on Drexler Clarifies Grey Goo Scenario · · Score: 1
    Why not make the nanomachines capable of working on a sub-atomic level, with protons, neutrons, and electrons. That way there will be no waste, no grey goo, and no problem. Oh wait, that's impossible, isn't it? After all, if we can't do it today, it will never be done.

    Sorry, couldn't stop the sarcasm fount.

  23. Hmmm. My turn. on Spam as Poetry · · Score: 1
