  1. John Christopher on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 1
    Perhaps he's talking about HG Welles. I swear I saw a tripod lumbering down the street this morning.

    and of course you mean John Christopher.

    "The Tripods": John Christopher

    Well, perhaps not. :)

  2. Re:Probably hits too close to home... on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 1
    ... but did you ever notice that not a single politician slams Thief?

    ...or that free game for Army recruitment/preparation for conscription...

  3. Damages? on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 1

    an interpretation of the word that I am not familiar with...coming soon, Linus sues OSTG

  4. Re: Can a topic title be modded as Troll? on Microsoft Tries to Patent the Internet Again · · Score: 2

    my thoughts exactly.
    A story I'd like to see:
    Slashdot posts non-sensationalist, accurate headline relating to Microsoft story

  5. Re:Just thought this was funny on How the Spam Industry is Sustained · · Score: 2, Interesting
    the old favourites: money, drugs and sex

    Whatever happened to my Rock and Roll?
    Appols to Ian Drury and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

  6. Re:Obviously the stupid moderators doesn't watch T on The Solar Death Ray · · Score: 1

    maybe its been modded redundant cos the parent is mentioning the Mythbusters link for, like, the 50th time?

  7. Isn't Utah . . . on Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill · · Score: 1

    the state that, per capita, buys the most porn, has the most wife beaters and sells the most hip flasks?

  8. Re:Pentium 4 Extreme Edition? on Intel's 64-Bit Pentium 4s Hit The Streets · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    well, no. That would be on your chipset.
    Is your brain a Spentium Force, Extremely Stupid Edition?

    Give em a break -- post links to sol.exe here

  10. Re:Scientific approach on State-Sponsored Solitaire? · · Score: 5, Funny

    OH&S SITE INSPECTOR: So, how many people work here?
    IRS SECTION MANAGER: Oh, about half of them.

  11. Re:How about just paying attention to the traffic? on Sources of Intelligent Audio for Commute? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    If it's something that makes you think, then it's reducing the bandwidth you have to be putting towards the road.

    Can you chew and walk at the same time?
    Also, "commuting" doesn't imply "driving"

  12. Re:As I did not RTFA on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 2, Insightful

    no -- that makes a LOT of sense. Particularly when trying to get an early post.
    Doesn't it say in the FAQ -- post early, post often?

  13. Re:numbers on Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.1 Cancelled · · Score: 1
    I never hear anyone complain about Winamp 5.

    Do you have your fingers in your ears?
    Winamp 5 is crap...oh, you're talking about going from v.2 to 5.

  14. Re:Addendum on Creative Commons In the News · · Score: 1
    Also, people have noted that no, Australia is NOT full....Australia is not a fertile ground

    If I can take that second phrase entirely out of context. Have you looked at a map of Australia? Do you have the slightest fucking clue about our natural environment? Or how 2 centuries of European farming practices have dried and salinated an already barely fertile land?

    You, mate, are an idiot.

  15. Re:Format war.....Who cares! on Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD · · Score: 1
    I am totally going for the format thatg has the better sounding name

    can't they create a name based on some ascii art?
    If they make it particularly cheeky the pr0n industry will be behind that for sure (pardon the pun).

  18. Re:Bad Marketing on Windows XP Starter Edition off to Slow Start · · Score: 2, Insightful

    surely its all about pricing points.

    Particularly when targeting this cut-down version at the piracy dominated Asian market.
    Features are a second consideration to cost -- even considering how limited the Starter version is.

    >> Are you in the Spelling Nazi team too, or just the Pedantrists?

    > The word you want is spelt "pedantist".

    Oh, please mod this as funny!

    PHHHHHHHHHHHHTTT!

  21. Re:Second First on Saturn's Moon Enceladus Has an Atmosphere · · Score: 1
    It's a lame excuse to make it sound like it's more important than it is

    Huh? So if Enceladus was dicovered to have an atmosphere before Titan, then its atmosphere would be more important? Or the discovery?
    Credit isn't due? This is an important find and will shed much light on the formation of satelites in the solar system.

    Are you in the Spelling Nazi team too, or just the Pedantrists?

    The less thugs in this world the better

    There are bigger, badder, uglier, richer, more powerful thugs in business and givernment than there ever were in any union.

    Divided, we are powerless. It's then that you'll see their teeth.

    Oh, and it's Labour you idiot.
