  1. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    You replied to that article, and Lars, without using the word 'douchetruck' once. I salute you.

  2. Re:advisors on Yahoo Spent $79 Million To Fend Off Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Doh-eth, positive it said 179... still, doesn't change the general gist of my post.

  3. Re:advisors on Yahoo Spent $79 Million To Fend Off Microsoft · · Score: 1

    So... Yahoo basically paid out $179,000,000 to have someone do their homework assignment for them? Maybe if they applied themselves a little harder, they wouldn't be in this situation.

  4. Re:"Designed"? on Canadian ISPs Speak Out Against Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Can you work a tube/truck/horse analogy into it somehow? Then it will make sense to the old former-phone-company employees who run the ISPs.

  5. Re:Of course there's a Facebook group for it on Wife of Harried Pirate Bay Witness Gets Buried in Internet Love · · Score: 4, Funny

    There was, but it divided by zero and disappeared.

  6. Re:Mario Kart?? on The Most Influential Games In History? · · Score: 4, Funny

    WoW also isn't particularly fun, which would also seem to take it out of the running.

  7. Re:What an idiot on Authors Guild President Wants To End Royalty-Free TTS On Kindle · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Authors generally make SOOOO much money. Many authors I know make more than enough money to pay for groceries, with a little bit leftover to get new socks!

  8. Re:contractor position? on How To Handle Corporate Blackmail? · · Score: 1

    Implications might not mean much, but it's doubtful he's going to get it in writing. "Official Memo: If you leave in the next three to four weeks, we will be douchebags when contacted in the future by potential employers." All the company can do is imply that they will be douchebags, secure in the fact that they can never be called on it.

  9. Re:OK, how do I ignore the ENTERTAINMENT section? on Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Bill Hicks is thrilled to hear you malign his much-beloved movies in such a fashion. "I love the fuckin' movies. I go see EVERY MOVIE THAT COMES OUT, because I love the movies more than life itself, and you can quote me on that."

    Arizona Bay was lost on you.

  10. Re:OK, how do I ignore the ENTERTAINMENT section? on Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars · · Score: 1

    Captain Obvious is obvious!

  11. London hates deaf people? on London Police Seek To Install CCTV In Pubs · · Score: 1

    I figured closed captioning on pubs in TVs would make it a lot easier to understand programs over the din of the beer-swilling masses.

  12. Re:"We Don't Want Poor Fans" on Bands Bypass iTunes With iPhone Apps · · Score: 1

    Higher conversation, but later chronologically, since I figured, like most Slashdotters, no-one would scroll down this far.

  13. "We Don't Want Poor Fans" on Bands Bypass iTunes With iPhone Apps · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I love PUSA. Love them. I have their Mount Rushmore concert taped from MTV on VHS, complete with the Mount Rushmore Hug Of The Day, and I still have dreams set to "Mach 5". However, I do not, and WILL not, own an iPhone, so I guess I don't get access to this sort of thing. This is a confusing message I'm being sent. Only people with iPhones can get this music, and people with iPhones have enough money to throw around to not need this.

    IF car EQUALS allowed to be there THEN open ELSE fire missiles

  16. Re:Sounds fine to me on Student Arrested For Classroom Texting · · Score: 2, Funny

    An open-and-shut case, to be sure! Just in and out, and you're done.

  17. Re:Net Neutrality in Action on CRTC Mulls Canadian Content On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Eh?

    Wow... the Wiki article for the Canadian Eh links to Bob & Doug McKenzie. That's... scary.

  18. Re:Net Neutrality in Action on CRTC Mulls Canadian Content On the Internet · · Score: 1

    I love you now.

  19. CRTC - Screw You, Taxpayer on CRTC Mulls Canadian Content On the Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    And it's on-topic, too (at least after 1:20).

    When it comes to the Internet, though, I think this is completely wrong (as has probably been stated here). When we're watching TV, we can either watch the American channels, with 99% American programming, or the Canadian networks, with about 75% American programming. The Canadian shows will always end up on the Canadian channels. With the Intertubes, wouldn't we really just be choosing to watch American or Canadian content directly?

  20. Re:Almost! on Twisted Radio Beams Could Untangle the Airwaves · · Score: 1

    It's a series of twisted tubes. Wait, didn't they have that in Resident Evil...?

  21. Re:Aged badly on Red Dwarf To Return, Find Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    We call them "Americans". It's not their fault.

  22. Re:I've got a better idea on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 4, Funny

    Get off my thread.

  23. Re:Oh, Dear on Linux's Role In Microsoft's Decline · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about. Obama's made of kittens and sparkles, held together with HOPE... and more sparkles! If anything bad happened this week, it's Linux's fault!

  24. Re:"little known" ??? on Tapping the Earth For Home Heating and Cooling · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Beat me to it.

    I work in construction and land development in Western Canada, and every single project we work on uses geo-exchange systems, because we get huge tax incentives to utilize energy-efficient technologies (and as strata owners, we still get to charge standard amounts for utilities). This isn't a big city, and there's THREE places that offer geo-exchange services.

    Maybe it's just "little known" where people "don't care".

  25. Re:Japanese? on Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 5, Funny

    You think that's acting you're doing?

    Hmmm!
