  1. Re:The legal analogy on Free Software, Free Society · · Score: 1

    Proving once again that there is no honor among thieves.

  2. Re:Cool Tech,Bullsh*t Reason on Refrigerators To Cool With Sound (Cool!) · · Score: 2

    So when we hunted the bison nearly to extinction, we were doing a good thing.

    Hey, it's your own logic.

  3. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 2

    Hrm, ok, I'll give it a go. 'Plz' is an abbreviation used by lazy idiots like you who can't be bothered to use the more polite, full version of 'please'.

    Anyone who can't be bothered to put some effort and courtesy into their questions doesn't deserve an answer. So you can just sit there and wonder what that whole IN SOVIET RUSSIA thing is until you fucking puke, you fucking puke.

  4. Re:Make the phone look like a Star Trek phazer... on Hello Kitty May Be Key to 3G Survival · · Score: 2

    Better yet, if they make it look like any of the *communicators*, they won't be able to keep them on the shelves.. (I bought a Nokia 282 specifically because it has the proportions of a TOS communicator. Tried painting it, but it didn't stick...)

  5. Re:Nat actually what the art on Software Choice Group Tells DOD Not to Use Open Source · · Score: 3, Funny

    "congressional norms"

    now that's a classy oxymoron..

  6. Re:Isn't this a happy story? on Electronic News Is Shutting Its Doors · · Score: 2

    Oddly enough, those trees you think it's cute to anthropomorphise are also made up of those same 14 billion year old recycled electrons.

  7. ObAustinPowers on W3C Policy To Favor Royalty-Free Patents Only · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Gotta love those RANDy fees, baybee, yeah!!

  8. Re:Could make sense for the video rental biz.. on In Stores Soon: Perishable DVDs · · Score: 2

    It doesn't have to be less.. in fact, it could be a little more - the offset being that you don't have to take it back.

    Blockbuster already charges more for their new releases *and* you have to bring them back sooner than the older ones.

    Of course, we're already talking about sub-$1 differences here, so it's not really a big deal either way.

  9. Re:Not surprising, in the context of MS's new lice on Longhorn Server Scrapped · · Score: 2

    Either way, it's got way too much crust.

  10. Re:Not surprising, in the context of MS's new lice on Longhorn Server Scrapped · · Score: 2

    "Whatever happened to "it's done when it's done"?"

    It got overcooked.

  11. Re:Of course... on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 2

    Do you always take everything posted on Slashdot at face value and in total seriousness? I feel sorry for you if you do.

  12. Re:Of course... on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 2

    The next time someone spoils a movie for you, punch them in the face. Chances are good that you will only have to apply this treatment once or twice before they get the message and shut up about it.

  13. Re:World's Densest Server on SGI Introduces World's Densest Server · · Score: 2

    Please.. please try to understand before one of us dies.

  14. Re:Obscure reference explained on Larry Rosen on the Microsoft Penalty Ruling · · Score: 2

    Meteor shit!

  15. Just maybe.. on Folding@Home Client's Performance Impact Measured · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...there's more than one reason it's called "Folding@HOME" and not "Folding@WORK". Hmm?

    If you can't get permission the first time around, repeated pestering will not help your case.

  16. Re:Quick Freeze, actually. . . The Mammoths say so on Global Warming will Open Northwest Passage · · Score: 4, Funny

    Unfortunately, the Slashdot readership won't believe any of that - it's impossible for them to blame Americans for it.

  17. Re:The original idea of All Hallow's Eve... on Howl-o-ween · · Score: 2

    In that case, I'm glad I was able to piss you off...

  18. Re:The original idea of All Hallow's Eve... on Howl-o-ween · · Score: 2

    So.. let me get this straight.. you're upset because I used a word that has the same basic meaning as a word I didn't use?

    Heh, ok. Fine. Sorry. Heaven *forbid* you should ever breed. Better? =)

  19. Re:The original idea of All Hallow's Eve... on Howl-o-ween · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Heaven forfend we should have a little fun...

    Not everything is a conspiracy, ya know.

  20. Re:Huh? on U.S. Ranks 17th in Freedom of the Press · · Score: 1

    But that hasn't happened. A cop might say that, if the immediate area was a crime scene. But it wouldn't last indefinitely.

    Until the military actually locks down the CNN building for the purpose of preventing them from broadcasting, it's not a valid example, and if you had any objectivity at all, you'd see that.

  21. Huh? on U.S. Ranks 17th in Freedom of the Press · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Oh, so because a few journalists have been arrested for trying to cross security lines at official buildings, this is how they 'punish' the US, by giving a bad rating?

    Cmon, if a cop or an MP says "No journalists allowed", you deserve all that you get if you try to defy them. "Freedom of press" doesn't mean "Universal Access".

  22. Re:Captain Opteron on 100 Teraflop Cray to Use Opterons · · Score: 2

    May be better not to use Crayaking - SearchKing might get pissy and sue =)

  23. Captain Opteron on 100 Teraflop Cray to Use Opterons · · Score: 5, Funny

    There's something comic-bookish about that name... maybe it's just cos it sounds like a Transformer.

  24. Re:Arbitrary vs Purposefully on Google Sued over Page Ranking · · Score: 2

    Naw, it's not tough at all. Re-read the definitions.

    If I walk past you, and I turn around and without any warning punch the back of your head, I've done an action that is both arbitrary (I would have no particular reason to do that, nor would I have a reason to do that to *you*) and purposeful (it's rather hard to punch someone in the back of the head *accidentally*).

    The serial killer in the Washington area is a perfect example of this: he picks his victims arbitrarily (apparently), but has a definite purpose - he's trying to kill people.

  25. Re:third option on Lucky Green vs. Palladium · · Score: 2

    But, if he's got enough spare cash in his pocketses to file for patents, which is not cheap to do, then he's probably also got enough to get at least some attention and some way to fight back.

    And the highest-priced lawyers do not always win.
