  1. Re:Yes on Canadian Telco Admits to Blocking Union's Website · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Fine, telcos aren't public utilities. When can the public expect all the back rent to be paid for allowing the telcos to lay lines all over the public's property?

  2. Re:EA and Hockey on EA Nets Another Exclusivity Deal · · Score: 1

    ESPN2's replacement programming (college basketball, mostly) has on average been getting double the ratings of an average NHL game. Good riddance, I say.

  3. Re:Just when I thought EA couldn't get any more ev on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    TECMO bowl had a license from the NFL Player Association, but not from the NFL.

    Recently, he blamed the intelligence failures on President Bush while the senate committed determined in a bipartisan manner that the failures had nothing to do with the president, and everything to do with practices at the CIA.


    That's because the report that examines the White House's part in the intelligence mess isn't due until after the election. Convenient, that.

  5. You get what you pay for on Is Open Source Fertile Ground for Foul Play? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Sounds familiar, I seem to remember someone else saying that...

  6. Re:Its to count the number of people w/o javascrip on Do Not Call Site Has AT&T Stats Tracker? · · Score: 1

    Sir, how dare you throw cold water on my uninformed paranoia with your undeniable common sense.

  7. Re:Judges contact info: on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    The original post by Ho-Lee-Cow called for the catalog bombing treatment, previously reserved for spammers but which is has now expanded to people who do things that we don't like, apparently. I think that goes a little above and beyond the few thousand angry phone calls, don't you?

  8. Re:Judges contact info: on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    And have you catalog-bombed him, as Ho-Lee-Cow! suggested in his post?

  9. Re:Judges contact info: on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long your sophistry will hold up in a court of law. Have you called his honor yet?

  10. Re:Judges contact info: on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, harassing an officer of the court is well looked upon by federal authorities. No thanks.

  11. Re:Childish screening procedures. on Linus to SCO: 'Please Grow Up' · · Score: 1

    You do realize if you toss resumes with SCO on them instead of keeping them on file, you're likely violating California law, right?

  12. Re:Childish screening procedures. on Linus to SCO: 'Please Grow Up' · · Score: 2, Insightful
    If the above is true, why are they only unwilling to hire SCO employees who worked there after May 2003? Certainly employees who worked there before that date were tainted with SCO's IP.


    Face facts, this is purely a political statement by chrisd's company and has nothing to do with a fear of being sued by McBride & co.

  13. Re:Childish screening procedures. on Linus to SCO: 'Please Grow Up' · · Score: 1

    That's not the problem. The problem is they certainly looked at your resume to determine that you worked at SCO after May 2003. They said they would immediately delete any resumes that had such employment history. That is illegal under state law.

  14. Jesus H. Christ on Do We Still Need Telcos (and ISPs)? · · Score: 1

    This has got to be the worst Ask Slashdot ever. Next in the series will be "Do We Still Need To Walk?", "Do We Still Need Procreation?" and "Do We Still Need Water?"

  15. Re:Great! on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 1

    Just for the rich. How many rich chimps do you know?

  16. Re:South Korea. on America's Broadband Dream Is Alive-- In Korea · · Score: 5, Funny

    When they get a solution to that, I hope they let California in on the secret.

  17. The Millenium Webserver on Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral · · Score: 1

    What a piece of junk!

  18. Re:make sense on Analysis of Netflix's DVD Allocation System · · Score: 1

    They send the DVD in a sleeve, not the case, and you get a business reply envelope to return the DVD through the US post office.

  19. Re:Orwell must be laughing his ass off.... on Former DoubleClick Exec Named Privacy Czar · · Score: 1, Troll
    Right...as if they couldn't find thousands of more qualified choices who actually work with real, honest-to-god privacy advocacy groups....

    ...whose foam-mouthed zealotry would instantly get him and his office ignored and marginalized in the halls of power, if the parent poster is of any indication.

  20. The way the Tigers have been playing on Major League Baseball Releases Webcasting Plans · · Score: 1

    once a year is one time too many. I have better ways to spend my time. Is there a webcast of paint drying somewhere I could watch instead?

  21. Funny on FCC Abandons Linesharing, Kills DSL Competition · · Score: 1, Funny

    Let's run an experiment to see if not-very-subliminal advertising works on the moderators.

  22. Re:dumping suvs out of planes to protest gas hogs? on Slashback: Bankruptcy, SUVdiving, Singalongs · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I think the parent poster's point was there might possibly be a more environmentally friendly way to protest the SUV than dropping them out of a gas guzzling airplane. Taking your argument and beating it into the ground, it's akin to protesting starvation by holding a hot dog eating contest at the local country club.


    Also in my experience, sarcastic ad hominem attacks are the last vestiges of a defeated argument.

    Way to plagiarize ESPN.com's Tuesday Morning Quarterback. The football gods will not look kindly upon you.

  24. Re:Soon to be required on SBC-Yahoo Partnership Cuts User Privacy · · Score: 1

    I weep for the moderators who believe everything they read on the internet, especially posting anonymously. If you are truly involved in something so ridiculously Orwellian, why don't you throw your job to the wind and post logged in?

  25. Let it not be said on Microsoft Targeting Indian Developers · · Score: 1

    that slashdotters can't see that every silver lining has a gray cloud. I imagine in a story "Bill Gates Donates Kidney to Complete Stranger," you'll have a dozen posters saying that "M$" will go to any lengths to keep people from migrating to Windows.
