  1. You are fighting the University's lawyers. on BitTorrent Inherently Illegal? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You won't win. They are covering their collective asses.

  2. So basically on Fermilab Reports Dark Energy Not Needed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They don't need somethings they invented to explain away what they didn't understand.

    "Where the joke's on you."

  4. Re:And the award goes to... on Microsoft Tries to Patent the Internet Again · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never read patents. They are written by lawyers, not english teachers.

  5. Meh on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 5, Funny

    My computer has been generating wood since the 80s.

  6. Re:Hemos: on Benioff and Weiss To Write Ender's Game Script · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Slashdot 'editors' are pretty much the same as movie 'directors'. Their 'interpretation' usually 'sucks'. Such as it were.

  7. This just in: on China Tightens Rules For Educational BBSs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oppressive country oppresses.

  8. Re:southpark on Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D · · Score: 2, Funny

    anyone else remember the southpark bit about this?

    Are you refering to the the sanctimonious episode? Oh, wait, that includes all of them.

    Demographics can be reversed!

  10. Re:I find it funny on Open Species Database Breaks Half-Million Mark · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You know what I find funny? The fact that we don't know everything about chemistry yet some people are interested in history. Some people even devote their entire lives to the study of history. All the while we don't know everything there is to know about chemistry. I've never understood that.

  11. Other books in this series on PHP 5 Power Programming · · Score: 5, Funny

    HTML Power Programming
    BASIC Operating System Design
    Enterprise AppleScript Applications
    Kernal Programming With Javascript

  12. Re:No need to go that far. on Metcalfe's Law Refuted · · Score: 1

    Slashdot itself is a good counter-example.

    True, but only in relation to AOL.

  13. Re:Lucky? on Flickering Curiosity? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think he means it in the way that someone might say, "I'm one of those lucky people who have explosive bouts of diarrhea eight times a day."

  14. Nobody's going to sue you on Understanding (and Avoiding) Software Patents? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you aren't making money.

  15. Heh on GNOME Ignoring its Own Users? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I love it when people gripe about free software.

  16. Arg on Building a Silent, Air-Cooled System · · Score: 1

    I am not taking advice from anyone who writes on a website with such poor design and color scheme that I can't even read it. I guess it's self fulfilling.

  17. I won't believe it on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Until it doesn't happen

    Company policy changes!!!!! Sounds like a script idea for the next Star Wars movie.

  20. Why Slashdot didn't make the cut on Forbes Lists Top Corporate Hate Web Sites · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's really a multi purpose hate site, hating so many things/companies. This list was more directed to sites that hated a single thing/company.

  21. Heh on Would You Pay 5 Cents For a Song? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm sure that's still too much for many a Slashbot.

  22. Consistency and good comments on Code Reading: The Open Source Perspective · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When I see that develop in someone, then I know they are going to the next level. When I don't see it after time, I know they will never evolve.

  23. Re:No on Is Blogging Journalism? · · Score: 1

    But aren't editorials considered journalism?

    No, editorials are opinions.

  24. No on Is Blogging Journalism? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Blogging is editorializing.

  25. Re:No, not at all. on Would You Forfeit a Raise to Work From Home? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I worked from home for nearly two years. In addition to the points made above, when you work from home, you are always at work. The lines get seriously blurred and it becomes a real drag. Even now, I wouldn't want to work even one day a week from home.
