  1. Re:No surprise on Lodsys Expands Patent Lawsuit to 10 More Companies · · Score: 1

    More importantly, Google and Microsoft are in the same boat as Apple (one of the lawsuits was over an android app).

  2. Re:So what is the point here? on Why Groupon Not As Rosy As It Appears · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think she deserves some blame, but I've heard many other groupon merchants complain of the same problems. The douchebag salespitch where groupon tries to keep 100% of the revenue is new, though.

    Why doesn't groupon offer advice on what to expect, how to manage the sudden influx of customers, how to convert them to regulars, how to deal with expired coupons, etc? Ultimately it's in their best interest for the merchant to be successful.

  3. Re:It's simple on Apple Eases Rules For Subscription Apps · · Score: 1

    Or you can get a license from Lodsys for 0.0575% of revenue and skip the lawsuit.

  4. Re:That still has the magnet problem... on The Science of Lightsabers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, this was stupid and pointless, even by idle standards. Maybe /. needs to add a retarded section.

  5. Re:Translation on Ex-Google Engineer Blasts Google's Technology · · Score: 1

    Many people have worked for google and left. They're not all that.

  6. I can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet... on Google Redirects Traffic To Avoid Kazakh Demands · · Score: 1

    goatse.kz!

  7. Re:Economically viable? on Security Service Accidentally Makes Websites 60% Faster · · Score: 1

    I've found that proxies that do javascript injection tend to break things.

  8. Re:Plain old pdf on Stallman: eBooks Are Attacking Our Freedoms · · Score: 1

    iTunes videos are DRM protected, but unless you're planning on time-traveling to 2008, iTunes music is DRM free.

  9. Re:Source of planets on Massive Explosion On the Sun · · Score: 1

    hehe, ejaculation...

  10. Re:It farted on Massive Explosion On the Sun · · Score: 1

    I learned it more like:

    Here I sit, broken hearted
    came to shit, only farted.
    The next time, I took a chance
    saved a dime, shit my pants.

    Note the extra rhymes = sit/shit, time/dime, although I can't recall seeing a pay toilet in quite a while.

  11. Re:Well that didn't take long. on iOS 5 Jailbroken · · Score: 2

    Android was a blackberry clone before it was an iPhoneOS clone.

  12. Re:Applications? on Collatz Proof Proposed: Hailstone Sequences End In 1 · · Score: 1

    Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer, that means I solve problems. Not problems like 'What is beauty?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

    I solve practical problems.

    For instance: How am I going to stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind?

    The answer: Use a gun. And if that don't work? Use more gun.

  13. Are any of these actually useful? on National Academies Release Over 4,000 Free Science Books · · Score: 1

    Eg, looking for a math book and all I see is shit like "Gender Differences at Critical Transitions in the Careers of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Faculty"

  14. Re:They have and they will on WikiLeaks In New Legal Battle · · Score: 1

    It was a scare letter from a lawyer. The same thing happened with the leaked Windows source code. (I think roblimo posted a story about that one)

  15. slashdot in new battle with 503s on WikiLeaks In New Legal Battle · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The 503s are winning.

  16. Re:Who cares? on The Future of OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    Allegedly, Sun decided it would be cheaper to buy OpenOffice or StarOffice or JavaOffice or whatever it was called at the time and throw developers at it than to continue licensing Microsoft Office.

  17. Re:one word on What Makes a Photograph Memorable? · · Score: 1

    eh, most tit pics are forgettable. But you'll never forget goatse, tubgirl, or lemon party!

  18. Re:I would like to invite Amazon... on California Assembly Approves Internet Tax · · Score: 2

    Since 2004 (Proposition 58), the California constitution requires a balanced budget, which hasn't really helped.

  19. damn chinks on Google Uncovers China-Based Password Collection Campaign · · Score: 0

    They also posted crotch pics of Anthony Wiener. Did you want to see or even think about his cock? Too bad motherfucker, it's all over the news. I think I'm going to throw up.

  20. Re:From no malware on Mac on Mac OS Update Detects, Kills MacDefender Scareware · · Score: 0

    Poisoned google images and downloading installers is clever, but historically, OS X trojans come from people downloading Cr@CK3d versions of iWorks. If you're trying to pirate an application and it turns out to be a trojan, you're an idiot. Just like if you click a shortened link on slashdot and expect something other than goatse, tub girl, or last measure, you're an idiot.

  21. Re:Remember this is an initial report on Flight 447 'Black Box' Decoded · · Score: 0

    I think the first step is to check if the co-pilot was named Osama Muhammed al Hussein bin Mohammed Alluhu Ackbar.

  22. Re:I can respect that.. on Zuckerberg Only Eating Animals He Personally Kills · · Score: 1

    I don't know about whales, but certainly dolphins

  23. Re:Maybe it's time for MSFT to pay regular dividen on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 1

    HOLY SHIT! Somebody just time travelled from 2002, before Microsoft started paying quarterly dividends!

  24. Re:Ballmer is doing good. on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it's still the case, but the wildly profitable Mac Office business unit used to be under the entertainment division to hide the red ink.

  25. Re:Smells on Steve Ballmer's Head On the Block? · · Score: 1

    He thinks Microsoft has good fundamentals, etc, but they need new leadership. If they get new leadership, the stock goes up and he profits. The only smell is Steve Ballmer.
