  1. Re:Oh shit, it's the end of the world on MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted · · Score: 1

    Good Lord! A business entity in the USA interested in generating revenue? Oh, the humanity! I can't go on, ladies and gentlemen ...

  2. Re:Ok. I'll bite... on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    No, it's not my first attempt. There have been several other attempts. And I have to say that if you think I need to be signfigantly (sic) more subtle, then you must have skipped over most of the posts on here lately. This joint is a haven for many things, but subtlety is most definitely not one of 'em. When in Rome, etc. ...

    As for living a little, I wholeheartedly agree, and that's why I took offense at what I perceived as a narrow-minded slam at the musical tastes of others. Let them live a little, and let them enjoy. Likewise, enjoy what you enjoy, whether it be Tori Amos or smooth jazz or country or Britney Spears or Canadian otter mating calls, without fear of denigration from others.

    Tree-hugger? Moi? I think not. I spent several years on a logging crew, decimating British Columbia's finest majestic timber. I've mostly mended my ways since, although I do live in a house made of wood, and use many wood products daily -- but I'm sure you can understand why your euphemism gave me a chuckle.

    Thanks for responding. I apologize for my perceived intolerance.

    Incidentally, I wasn't aware the Canadian otter is in pain, but if it is, I don't give a rodent's rectum. Those little buggers can really screw up a good fishing day when they're out in force.

    Well said! If there's one thing we at the National Association of Zealots and Intolerants know, it's that we have to always remind the little people out there that no matter what music they listen to, what operating system they use, what car they drive or what food they eat, it will NEVER be as good as the stuff we listen to/use/drive/eat. Please consider joining our fine organization. For more info, call 1 888 NEO NAZI.

  4. Oh Please on Cable TV Ruins Bhutan · · Score: 1

    TV is their downfall. Riiiiight. And I suppose since they've had access to Slashdot for a while, they've all become hate-Microsoft-at-any-cost religious zealots as well.

  5. Re:A Book just doesn't cut it on Getting Started In Linux · · Score: 1

    "questions that could be solved by typing in a man command"
    Sure, but that assumes you managed to get to the point where you CAN type in a man command, which isn't likely if ... well, you know.

  6. Re:I'm fed up with all this copy protection busine on D-VHS to Hit The Market This Week · · Score: 1

    So spend a few grand creating a work from which you hope to recoup some cash, let everyone use it for nothing, and see how much more fed up you become.

  7. Re:Does it crash Linux? ;) on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 1

    But who listens to Celine Dion?
    According to her record label, enough people to pay the freight for all of the other artists on the label.
