  1. Get a life on Why Everyone Should Hate Cellphone Carriers · · Score: 0

    Somehow, before cell phones existed, the world kept on turning, families stayed together without needing cell phones and life continued just fine, you dont a cell phone no one really does. Only an overblown sense of self importance makes anyone "need" a cell phone. Get a life!

    New word for the week describes you, asstroll.

  3. Re:Criminals make bad sociologists. on Famous Criminal Opines that Technology Breeds Crime · · Score: -1, Troll

    Thanks, You make the case for gun control very well, your attitude to violence clearly shows why you should not have any form of weapon.

  4. Re:We need real leaders, not computers on Computer Software to Predict the Unpredictable · · Score: 1, Insightful

    On the 11/9, I wept not only for the tradgedy of that day, but for the inevitable homicidal overreaction that would and did come from the US, "somone must be punished, they are someone so they should be punished" If you didnt see this coming, you have no vision of the future at all. "On Sept 10th, could anyone (or more importantly, any software) predict what things would be like in this country today?"

  5. Re:Jon Katz is Gone? on History of Slashdot Part 3- Going Corporate · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Tragically Mr Katz left, He was hated because he wrote well, something frowned upon here, by the usual suspects, who seem to be threatened by real writing ability. Slashdot has deteriorated badly in the last 10 years, so its no surprise people of taste and intelligence like Mr Katz have left. Pity really this WAS once a great site, much like the US itself has deteriorated to little better than a totalitarian rabble.

  6. Re:Ooh! Ooh! Fight! Fight! on Bloggers Versus Billionaire · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I think you will find that Craig Murray has evidence to prove what he says is true, so the fat bastard darent go to court, he would lose and his crimes would be further exposed.

  7. Re:What it means... on Canadian Copyright Official Dumped Over MPAA Conflict · · Score: 0

    SSShhhh, dont bring that up, the gun deaths are doing the world a favour, dont discourage them! Gun deaths of US citzens shooting each other are far more effective than terrorism 50k/year. Every US citizen should have a machine gun and use it regularly on their fellow citizens. Perhaps we could start a "guns for the poor in the US" charity(-:

  8. Re:Heh on The Pirate Bay Files Suit Against Big Media · · Score: 0

    I sincerely hope you end up on death row for a crime you didnt commit, then you might have a reasonable view, otherwise your just a mindless fucking jerk, who is stupid enough to think that violence will solve violence. No civilised coutry has the death penalty, THATS HOW YOU JUDGE WETHER A COUNTRY IS CIVIZED OR NOT. The US is not a civised country. It is the first empire to go from rise to decline without a period of civilisation in between.

  9. Re:Umm??? I thought Heinlein... on Heinlein Archives Put Online · · Score: 0

    Henlein is Ok, if your reading is around the level of a 12 year old. Thats when I read them, now they seem plain silly. His infantile fascination with an armed society fits in with modern shoot-fist-and ask-questions-later US society, the rest of the world thinks its a joke. No Wonder he's popular on slashdot. .........

    Nah, John Katz is a good writer with people skills so naturally the slashwankers hate him. The same folk obviously hate K.Dawson, How dare he not be an anti decent public health-free market driven-guntoting-suv driving-libretarian-asshole like most of the regular commentors from the US? You can stick your mod points where the sun dont shine. Amusingly an AC critcizes me for being anonymous. Asshole, at least I have the balls to use my account unlike you! Why on earth would I want to give a bunch of jerks like you personally identifying info? I burn up you idiots mod points allowing the other more sensible people to get their message thru, thank you very much for your assistance. I couldnt give a less of a fcuk about what you think of me.

    Oooh, the AC critcizes ME for not identifying myself, what a surprise. Come back when you grow some balls dickhead. Truth hurts eh, doesnt it? I suppose if you call it trolling it helps with your national denial of the truth, you already have a totalitarian right wing state, why not a left wing one.

    Spot on Paco, I have never posted anonymously, I unlike these pathetic excuses for human being am prepared to stand by what I say. I am not afraid to loose slashdot Karma- Frankly I could not givee a flying fuck about slashdot karma never have never will, these cowardly losers have probably never had a Gf or balls anyway. My condolences to the poster over such an awful loss. If you dont have the courage to put your name to it you should not post at all. Someone tell me why Ac's are allowed to post in the first place?

  21. Re:This is good ... on Does Going Digital Mean Missing Music? · · Score: 0

    You do realize that one does not have to hear a 20KHZ fundemental to hear a difference when it's missing, due to beat note effects, to over simplify, 15KHZ and 20KHZ produces a 5KHZ beat note-you will notice that is missing. I was a Live sound engineer for many years, and I still can hear when a system does not go all the way to 20KHZ very quickly at 47 years of age. There is yet to be a digital music format I cannot identify as digital immediately, all I can say is it sounds plastic to me, wish I could put it better. Some years ago we did atest using a LINN Sondek turntable and a CD player playing the same album in both formats. Whilst the analog was a bit more noisy the sound was much more natural. Technics direct drive Turntables are only popular with DJ wankers, due to their quick time to full speed, audiophiles like belt drive turntables with VERY heavy platters, as they have less wow and flutter.

    Bullshit.An enormous SUV is not required to tow *anything*. Here in Australia the same sort of things are regularly towed by normal 6 cylinder cars. I have towed a 25 ft glider trailer weighing nearly 1.5 tons with a four cylinder Celica. in 100 degree temps with air on no problem. SUV's are about overcompensation nothing else.
