  1. Re:Voluntarily? HAH! on Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years · · Score: 1
    Now we're getting to the heart of the liberal mindset. Liberals are against the death penalty except for those that disagree with them. For those, the penalty is death.

    Sometimes a post can be in jest, even without the :)

    Unfortunately you actually proved MY point:
    By making sweeping claims without evidence and generalizing based on personal experience, you end up sounding pretty silly.

    By the way, I don't really want to kill you. :) (note the smiley)

    I've managed to read this entire thread, and for the good of society I think you should be euthanized (no offense).

    Oh, and I found a study that links conservativism with heavy metal poisoning. I have the link around here somewhere...

    DEBUNKED!

  3. Re:In past ages the philosphers... on Homogenized Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's really scary is that some people think economists understand the economy.

  4. Star Wars is like 1984 on George Lucas May Be Completely Evil · · Score: 1

    It requires a lot of doublethink to keep all of the events of the Star Wars universe straight, but I have faith in the fans! They'll be perfectly able to rationalize Jar Jar's surprise appearance in EP 4, while at the same time believing that he was never really there...

  5. Re:Maybe interesting... on George Lucas May Be Completely Evil · · Score: 1
    If George Lucas could actually write, the first three episodes wouldn't feel "tacked on." For example, why do the droids need to be in there at all? Now he needs to have some stupid memory erasure happen.

    Overall, it's very disappointing.

  6. Re:Well, yes! on How to Own the Internet In Your Spare Time · · Score: 1
    Keep in mind that most of the worms that made it into the wild so far haven't had much of a payload. If they knew how to harvest passwords, private keys and credit card numbers, we'd have serious problems.

    I think the scariest thing the article mentioned was the potential for modular worms, which would allow new exploits and payloads to be added dynamically to already infected hosts. Given enough time, the author will figure out a nasty use for all of those zombies...

  7. Re:A staggering lack of imagination on 1936 Perspective on Television · · Score: 2, Funny
    As slashdotters probably realise - it's difficult to unseat an existing technology that's wildly popular... (even if it is obsolete)

    You're talking about the X Window System, right? :)

  8. Re:I just use Google on RealNames Closing Shop · · Score: 1

    And if you use telnet(let the flames come), you just type:
    telnet www.google.com 80
    ...
    etc.

  9. Re:I'm waiting for return to bus-based computing on 3DLabs Launching New GPU · · Score: 1

    Here's a cool approach from SGI. If only they could do this on PCs...
