  1. Re:Suggestion: Until Death of Creator on UK Copyright Extension Not Happening · · Score: 1

    Method 2 - Delay "He's only *mostly* dead!"

  2. Re:What would its name be on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 1

    Si what? The moon? Yes, I can see it.

  3. Re:uh... on Visual Radio Coming to India · · Score: 1

    "but you can't just simplify it as being 'TV'"

    Alright, how about "WebTV" then?

  4. Re:number 1 reason to hate sony on Windows Rootkit Wars Escalate · · Score: 1

    Then what was the roto-rooter again? Did it crack, install, patch/update, uninstall, and then uncrack? Or maybe that was the boomo-rooter.

  5. Re:I'm sure... on Music Industry Prepares to Sue Yahoo China · · Score: 1

    You know I believe there are only something like 6 clicks of separation between anything on the Internet.

  6. Re:A few random thoughts on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    "I could feed myself and three girlfriends in a nice restaraunt for a DOLLAR"

    Assuming this to be true--how much food can a blowup doll really consume?

  7. Re:$11,000 per item??? on FTC and Rockstar Settle Hot Coffee Dispute · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, the constitution is worthless---it's the Dec. of Ind. that has the map...

  8. Re:Once again. . . on U.S. Service Personnel Data Stolen · · Score: 1

    (aka "just a goddamn piece of paper")

    Excuse me, I believe you forgot to leave the religious aspect out of that...it should have read:

    "just a damn piece of paper" -- of course we might still consider replacing the word "damn" with something that has less religious history (bothersome, etc.).

  9. Re:Holy Crap! on Fly-by-Wireless Plane Takes to the Sky · · Score: 1

    It just isn't politically correct to make fun "groups" of people. In the US we have PC/socially acceptable police that watch out for that sort of thing.

  10. Re:He's probably a mother RAPER, or on Convicted Hacker Adrian Lamo Refuses to Give Blood · · Score: 1

    I believe he's just a scared litter-bug.

  11. Re:Gee, They put the lotto on TV... on New Piracy Loss Estimate · · Score: 1

    Actually I believe their complaint is they are losing 1.3 billion by *not* selling movies here.

  12. Re:Hui! on Paris Accelerates Move to Open Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    "...since when are the French a 'race'?" since no other group will claim them--they must stand alone. Oh shit, guess that was more French bashing.

  13. Re:Way to go on Texas Sues Sony BMG over Rootkit · · Score: 1

    It is per machine---lets just use RIAA math and figure how many CD's should have been sold in the state of Texas during that period ('bout 20 million or so I reckon).

  14. 2 much or 2 little? on British Spammer Gets 6 Years · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At first glance you think "6 years for spam...damn that's harsh". Then you read what else he did and you think "damn, only 6 years"?

  15. Re:Sorry But on Florida DUI Law and Open Source · · Score: 1

    But is is the precedent that kills those arguments (not complicated software, won't kill company). The precedent would set the stage for forced release of complicated, company killing software in the future.

  16. Re:it's more self-aggrandizing egotistical behavio on CEOs Who Invite Email From All Employees · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hey, we have a policy (quite and off the record) of reading employee email where I work as well--of course in our case I guess they didn't REALLY intend for us to read it.

  17. Re:A long time ago in a galaxy light years away... on Furthest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Observed · · Score: 3, Funny

    I know /. is famous for old news--but come on, this is 13 Billion years old...

  18. Re:In Soviet America... on Making Ice Without Electricity · · Score: -1, Troll

    In liberal America, EVERYTHING--and I mean everything-damned-thing--is about race. If anything, yes, this was about class--but not race. If the area were full of white people in the same social/economic range the response would have been no different. Like it or not, it wouldn't have.

  19. Re:It's *not* rocket science, guys... on Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm---we should eliminate everyone except one race, one gender, one etc. so that identification and investigation work is much easier. Can you describe the 'perp'? Of course, he looked just like you, and me, and him, and so on.

  20. Re:/. 503 error on NCSA Issues Disclaimer on Google/Yahoo Study · · Score: 1

    "Where do you go to talk about Slashdot being Slashdotted?"

    First rule of /. --- you don't talk about /.

  21. Re:Only 5% of users were using StarOffice on Scottish Police Revert to Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    Hmmm...I wonder how much mouthwash can be bought for ~40 billion dollars?

  22. Re:Bill Gates on US Education on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    "for me to waste my time with...So I won't"

    Contradictory little SOB aren't ya'. Of course, nothing less is expected from an AC posting. I completely disagree with your feelings and stand by my original comment. Additionally, the comment in no way confines me to a "incapable" group--that is an absolute statement and is in no way justifiable from my simple statement--unless you routinely jump to absolutes from one or two sentence statements (unable to confirm your posting history, so I'll just have to assume you are an asshole). Finally, you also read the entire money over life bullshit into the comment in a completely unsupported manner.

  23. Re:Bill Gates on US Education on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    No, dipshit, the answer was in my comment. I believe last time we unloaded excess nuke capacity in the Asian theater many decades of prosperity followed--hell, Japan came out pretty good as well.

  24. Re:Bill Gates on US Education on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    Time to clear out that excess nuke capacity and show, once again, why we were on top.

  25. Re:My complaint about intrusion detection devices. on Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm...can't agree with your analogy. You are right, don't need that kind of constant response for my server--but can't compare it to my house. If some SOB is trying my doors and peaking in my windows I would like him shot at the very least (calling the cops only after I have dragged the body inside and armed it).
