  1. Re:do we really need an article here on /. on The Presidential Portrait Goes Digital · · Score: 3, Funny

    A couple weeks ago, while browsing the downtown library, I had to take a piss. As I entered the john, Barack Obama stepped out of one of the booths...

  2. Not new on Collateral Damage as UK Censors Internet Archive · · Score: 1

    The internet blocker at work used to block the internet archive. Looks like that's not currently the case, although given the slow speed and downtimes, it seems semi-pointless.

  3. Re:I hate to say it but.... on Ubuntu 9.04 Daily Build Boots In 21.4 Seconds · · Score: 1

    ehh, BeOS on my Pentium II 233 was faster.

  4. Re:Wow, great news on Qt Becomes LGPL · · Score: 1

    Great, instead of the GIMP (a gay sex slave or cripple) we can have QIMP (quim is british slang for pussy). Actually, that would be an improvement!

  5. Re:Ars Technica report on Qt Becomes LGPL · · Score: 1

    you can still static link with LGPL, BUT you must provide object files so the end user can replace the QT library and rebuild the executable.

  6. Re:Who Cares? on Solving Obama's BlackBerry Dilemma · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, Bill Clinton used one. Here's a clue: Monica Lewinsky with the blackberry in vibrate mode in the oval office.

  8. I have a question on 30th Anniversary of the (No Good) Spreadsheet · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    mod me offtopic but... what the fuck is wrong with his head? It looks like somebody stuck it in a vice and gave it a few turns (that would explain his "logic"...). Does he have John McCain cancer or something?

  9. Re:Why use MUL/DIV on 30th Anniversary of the (No Good) Spreadsheet · · Score: 5, Informative

    6502 doesn't have jle. It has bcs (branch carry set/greater or equal) and bcc (branch carry clear/less than).

  10. Re:That isn't enough $$$ on Call For Grant Proposals In Perl Development · · Score: 1

    In that case, Steve Ballmer and his 7-figure salary should be worried!

  11. Re:Oh good. on The Evolution of Python 3 · · Score: 1

    indent(1) much?

    The python FAQ's explanation for whitespace block levels is basically that braces/indentation might confuse you. Well, braces don't confuse me. But if you're going to pretend whitespace block indentation is good, then VB-style WHILE ... END, IF .. END IF, etc must be even better.

  12. Re:Cue whitespace ranting from wannabees on The Evolution of Python 3 · · Score: 1

    So if someone on the internet told you that stretching your ass felt good, would you do it? Or would you consider your own experiences and preferences?

    nah, the entire country only has one. It's detachable.

  14. makes sense on Here Comes iPhone Nano, But Not In the US · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Chinese need smaller electronics so their wangs look big in comparison.

  15. pilsner.urquell? on Is a 'Katrina-Like' Space Storm Brewing? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I read that quickly and had a brief fear that zombie roalnd piquepioele was still submitting stories :(

  16. Next up: on Companies Using MS Word "Out of Habit," Says Forrester · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Companies are using Windows "Out of habit". Hopefully, the Obama stimulus will involve converting all government computers to use Ubuntu and hiring thousands of college students and underemployed programmers to work on FREE Open Source Software.

    The browser shell is raw win32. No abstraction or other platform considerations.

    Why do so many slashdot readers enjoy anal sex, anal masturbation, and anal fisting? If they like it, there are other places to talk about it!

    And you might want to remember that the current financial and industrial collapse was given to us by the finest and most highly educated examples of stupid, greedy, incompetent, short sighted, overpaid, negligent, and possibly criminal congress.

    Fixed that for you.

  22. Re:You know what? on PowerBeam Demos Wireless Electricity At CES · · Score: 0

    I prefer to jive it up a bit:

    JadedAppreentice writes "Caught a menshun of this hyar startup yessuhterday on CNBC while they were reviewin' th' latess gadgits at CES. In th' off chance thet thar was ennythin' remotely feasible o' safe about th' wireless power prototypes PowerBeam had on display, ah took a quick google an' foun' this hyar nice li'l write-up on th' technology (along wif some priceless comments fo' them thet scroll down, an' ah's not talkin' about them on th' page below). Bottom line: while it's postibly safe, it may not be efficient an' it sho'nuff as hell won't power yer 1200W gamin' rig, th' guys at PowerBeam is hopin' th' convenience of wireless power delivahed through direcked IR lasers will not only give yo' th' right fineess livin' room in town, but make them mighty rich in th' process" Nigga, please! This hyar may be th' only one usin' lasers, but thar's a fair gaggle of wireless power schemes on th' flore at CES. Besides sevahal chargers limited t'chargin' th' controllers of specific game cornsoles, ah walked through a wawkin' high-corncepp demo put on by PowerMat (also menshuned in thet PC Magazine article), which relies on dedicated per-device sleeves an' dongles t'power cameras, phones, an' other necessary pocket-fillers; th' sleeve-equipped devices then set to charge on one of th' PowerMat induckshun mats. Thet means thet eff'n yer gizmo ain't one fo' which a sleeve o' dongle is available, yer outta luck, unless it uses AA o' AAA batteries (thar's a charger made t'fit on th' mat) o' kin be powered by USB (fo' which th' compenny has hockey-puck sized USB-power sources, which, Yessuh, set on th' induckshun mat). Impressive, but at $30 a pop, thet'd mean a fair outlay t'convaht menny gadgits t'use sech a system, dawgone it.

  23. Re:Still no virtual desktop on Windows 7 Beta Released To Public After Delay · · Score: 1

    I've used their virtual desktop manager, under xp and 2k. Unless they've improved it, it's a hack and poorly integrated.

  24. Re:Git links on Git Adoption Soaring; Are There Good Migration Strategies? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'll tell you why you should switch: Because the open source / slashdot crowd are a bunch of sheep. Baaaah!

    Slashdot readers need moderators to tell them if a post was a joke, informative, or a troll. They can't make up their own minds!

    Tivo and cloud computing are totally awesome.... until Richard Stall (as in bathroom) man says otherwise.

    And now GIT is the shit because it's got the Linus seal of approval. Never mind that other open source distributed VCS existed before git and were (and still are) largely ignored.

    Maybe it's just me, but my trust in meth instructions is inversely related to the number of spelling errors.
