  1. Re:who cares if it performs on Maxtor's 300 GB Monster Reviewed · · Score: 1

    who cares if it performs? If you can afford/need 300 gigs you're probably not using it to store application, you're using it to store large amounts of data that doesn't need to be bursted, etc.

    Exactly! pr0n is usually browsed sequentially.

  2. Re:Power Cord on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah I have a few old power chords lying around too.
    I believe they originally came from Iron Maiden's 1982 album "The Number of the Beast".

  3. Re:The winner is...not Sydney, Australia on Matrix Revolutions To Be Released On Imax · · Score: 2, Informative

    Y'all have electricity down there? I didn't know any third world countries had electricity, much less computers and imax. :)

    Damn Americans.
    Oi Bruce, cut the power to Pine Gap and teach the Yanks a lesson. ;)

  4. Re:A very (ludicrous, retarded, draconian) precede on Disgruntled Fan Arrested, Indicted For Spam Attacks · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but he'll be going to a minimum security white-collar RESORT. He should BE so lucky. He'll even get conjugal visits.

    Which is more than most SlashDot readers get OUTSIDE the prison walls.

  5. Re:Windows XP on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    Imagine the Solitaire source code maintainer at Microsoft punching the air at your comment.

    "Take that OpenBSD! Windows Solitaire: No Exploits Since 1990".

  6. Re:Finally on 10th Circuit Says FTC Can Enforce Do Not Call · · Score: 1

    Nice Strawman, I don't drop anything or rush to the phone during dinner time. I merely said they call during dinner time.
    Bonus tricknext time you're done felching your Telemarketer mates, wipe the shit off your face.

  7. Re:Finally on 10th Circuit Says FTC Can Enforce Do Not Call · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Telemarketing is not, and never was, harassment.

    Oh YES, it damn well is.

    Definitions of Harrasment is:
    "To irritate or torment persistently."

    A lot of people find it irritating that telemarketers call persistently them
    at dinner time.

  8. Pull out his heartplug... on McLaughlin Defends Site Finder As 'Innovation' · · Score: 1

    From the article: The decisions made over the next year about Internet innovation will influence the depth by which Internet operators are encouraged to continue to invest in these networks.

    Fine, FUCK OFF, see if we care.
    Someone else will GLADLY take over.

    You and your so called "Innovations" are not wanted here.

  9. Re:Round filing cabinet on How Do You Manage Requests in Your Organization? · · Score: 1

    There is a bonus point for shooting from your chair.

    Do you work for the Postal Service?

  11. Re:A good pen, but I can't find it on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 1

    My ex gave me a fountain pen that she claimed was standard issue in schools in Geneva (possibly in France, though).

    [snip]

    I finally killed it when I smashed it with a rocking chair.

    Are you sure it didn't surrender to the Rocking chair?
    The French tend to make a habit of it.

  12. Re:The Sky Is Falling! on Closest Asteroid Yet Flies Past Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    Dear Rich Friend:
    ...

    Dear Sir,

    I've seen that movie too.
    Bruce Willis dies.
    Here is $500 to make it happen.

  13. Closest? on Closest Asteroid Yet Flies Past Earth · · Score: 1

    I bet there are a few Dinosaurs that would dispute that "Closest"
    tag, if they weren't all dead.

  14. Re:What about the obvious DHCP issue? on Innocent File-Sharers Could Appear Guilty? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ISPs that are serious about protecting customer privacy will simply quit keeping these records.

    ...and Customer's that are serious about protecting their own privacy will quit the ISPs that don't.

  15. Re:well on South Korea Jumps To Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    its hard to convince people your OS is better when you dance like my grandmother after a bottle and a half of wine....

    The dude dances worse than MY Grandmother.
    ...and she's been dead for 8 years now.

  16. Re:Shoot me now! on TRON Enters Alliance With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to use the -w & -k switches if you are intent on a murder/suicide.

    -w [number of wives to shoot]
    -k [number of kids to shoot]

    use the -q flag to query you before the gun will start shooting other people's wives and children.
    or use the -Y to answer "Yes to all", and blow everyone away.

  17. Re:Just don't look. on Group Asks Gov't to Crack Down on Product Placement · · Score: 1

    Cool move. I've also opted out of TV (3 years) and radio (10 years) due to them both sucking big time. I have so much more time these days :-)

    Yeah, but how do you know if you're "Cool" ?

  18. Re:Why use a head hunter? on Have You Personally Used an Honest Head Hunter? · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to use a head hunter? Most places that have jobs available (white collar and
    blue collar) will put an ad in the paper or on their website.


    All the IT Companies I know of use recruitment agencies. The only one I know of that didn't,
    had its OWN recruitment agency; that placed people at other IT companies.

    Newspaper ads are generally placed by recruitment companies, not the direct employer.

  19. Re:Open Source is anathema to profit on The Cult of the NDA · · Score: 1

    Open Source is ALSO an anathema to profit if your company is called "The
    Santa Cruz Operation" and your main product is closed source.

  20. Has to be said... on 2.6 Ton Pinball Machine · · Score: 0, Troll

  21. Maybe not on Diebold Audit Released, BlackBoxVoting.Org Shut Down · · Score: 1

    ...But you can still go to the blackboxvoting.com site.

    Yeah, we COULD go there, if the site hadn't been slashdotted to hell. ;-)

  22. Re:It's About Time on Reliance On MS A Danger To National Security · · Score: 1, Informative

    How many computers was Iraq's government relying on? (that's a serious question, I really don't know)

    Quite a few.
    They even had mobile server racks.

  23. Re:BeOS on BeOS Max Edition v3.0 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That said, why would anyone want to start using an effectively end of life OS,
    is there that much that can be done with the OS?


    BeOS is incredibly well written for all manner of multimeda activities.
    BeOS does shiny graphics and shiny sound, really, really well.

    ...and THAT is why I'm glad people are bothering.

    Microsoft seem to be an admirable job of making minor tweaks to their
    OS user interface, and convincing everyone that its some completely new thing.
    Why can't OpenBeOS do that too?

  24. Re:Can we really enforce this? on California Tries Spam Ban · · Score: 0

    Not that I'm defending spammers, I think the law is a good idea, but if the execution is
    flawed, it could be short-lived.


    If the execution is flawed?
    As in when the executioner only "half" chops off the spammer's head?

    The end will not be "short-lived", it may take the spammer a while to die.
