  1. Re:Warning: Spoilers on A Battlestar Galactica Prequel Series on the Way · · Score: 1

    Hey,

    Here are some other spoilers for you too....

    Bruce Willis is dead
    Darth Vader is Luke's dad
    Verbal Kint is Kaiser Sozei
    The planet of the Apes is Earth
    Soylent Green is people

  2. Re:"photoshopped"? on Identifying Manipulated Images · · Score: 1

    In 1990. Where have you been?

  3. Re:Invasion on CNN Fires Producer Over Personal Blog · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, there is no real reason for Canada to invade.

    Maybe it's like from that old song:

    We'd do it for the nookie.

  4. Re:Geography 101 on China Bans Horror Movies · · Score: 1

    I'm Canadian.

    It's extremely uncommon. I suspect it's french canadian's that you know who do this. They are back stabbing pricks that do not speak for the rest of Canada. Please ignore those bozos.

  5. Re:Geography 101 on China Bans Horror Movies · · Score: 1

    I'm Canadian so I know of what I speak.

    Nobody in Canada cares if you call yourselves American. It's right in the name of your country. Go ahead call yourselves Americans. Let me be the first: You, sir, are an American. Any Canadian you encounter who does object is an idiot and - at a minimum - should be slapped across the face.

    The only people in Canada likely to object are the French. Pay no heed to them. They are neo-fascist weirdos that do not speak for the English-speaking (the most important) part of Canada.

  6. Re:PBKAC on Antivirus Inventor Says Security Pros Are Wasting Time · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The DBA should have been fired for prefixing a table with 'tbl'.

  7. Re:Well... on Sci-Fi Tech We Could Have Right Now (For a Price) · · Score: 1

    And for the poster above who gives the usual slashdot antiwar rant... of what use is a Maglev is some asshat blows it the hell up? Put bluntly, either the GWOT is justified on its own merits or it isn't. Silly comarisons to what else could be done instead with the cash is retarded. If you believe we are in a war for survival against an implacable foe out to destroy Western Civilization and replace it with a Caliphate then price isn't an object, only Victory will suffice; and if you don't believe we are at war then we never should have spent the first dollar.

    I hate to go off topic like this, but I will...What does spending billions and billions of dollars in Iraq have to do with the war on terror? There were no terrorists there.

  8. Re:How can I... on Legalize File Sharing, Say Swedish MPs · · Score: 1

    Don't forget their meatballs. Everybody always forgets their sweet-ass meatballs.

  9. Re:Let me guess on 2.5 Years in Jail for Planting 'Logic Bomb' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nope. Just you.

  10. Re:Wait... on Zen and the Art of Guitar Hero · · Score: 0, Troll

    Plus, the violin sucks-ass, and is painful to listen to.

  11. Re:Small change on The 110 Million Dollar Button · · Score: 1

    Similarly, I usually only get to push "the button" *after* I get lucky...or during I suppose.

  12. Re:Good luck indeed on UK Music Retailers Beg, Drop the DRM · · Score: 5, Funny

    It was my understanding that the UK had thanksgiving as well. The only difference being it falls on July 4th.

  13. Re:Women on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    Not if you're with a guy from this site (present company excluded of course)

  14. Re:The solar system is big enough for the moment. on New Nuclear-powered Spaceship Design Revealed · · Score: 1

    ...a small planetoid outfitted with propulsion systems

    ...that's no moon...

  15. Re:Not "Gouging" on Massive Canadian Class-Action Cellphone Suit Is Approved · · Score: 1

    I'm sure I've insulted enough Canadians by demanding them to say Zee instead of Zed when they are spelling something phonetically.

    I'll be in Florida next month, and I'm going to come oot and beat you aboot the head.

  16. Re:HA! on SCO Loses · · Score: 1

    thank you for your post.

    This is the first time I've been able to understand short selling. No stock broker mumble-jumble. Just plain English that even us idiots can understand.

  17. Re:Reinvent the wheel? on Five Ideas That Will Reinvent Computing · · Score: 1

    a man-made brain - Dreaming (Not possible yet - maybe never)
    a home quantum computer - Dreaming (Not possible yet - maybe never)


    I feel sorry for you. Maybe never? I'd hate to live in the pessimistic world you live in. What about, "maybe someday".

    If you worked at Nintendo we'd still be using the old NES controller instead of the wii's clever and surprisely good new controller.

  18. Re:An ounce of prevention on Study Show Link Between IT Sabotage, Work Behavior · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can't take your friends with you, either.

    I am. (Don't tell them that though...they may not go for the idea)

  19. Re:For or Against? on Microsoft PR Paying to "Correct" Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Did you read the article? If you consider what the submission to be neutral based on the contents of the article, I've got a bad feeling about these new 7 digit uid'ers. The future of the intrenets is in bad shape.

    Clearly, the submission isn't presented in any sort of neutral way. I'd say FUD all the way.

    Having said that, I hate micro$haft (hahahaha get it $ and shaft!!!!11!!!) as much as the next uber-linux geek. W00t!!

    P.S. If you're kidding and the joke flew over my head, I'm truly sorry...it's been a long day.

  20. Re:lol on British Cops Hack Into Government Computers · · Score: 1

    Australia has a govenrment based on the British model, plus we're better than the poms at all sports

    Ah yes, Canada has a British style parliamentary government AND we speak English...well, the cool ones do at least.

  21. Re:I Would Have Signed Up... on Inside MySpace.com · · Score: 1

    If I had of been drinking coffee I woulda spewed it all over my monitor. Fortunately, I wasn't so I didn't.

    thanks!

  22. Re:Wii and PS3 sold a lot of XB360s in December on Games Industry Sees 12 Billion in Sales For 2006 · · Score: 1

    curse you endtags! You are the bane of my existence.

    (I'm just joking around, don't give me some CS reasoning as to why they're necessary and good practise. I know all that)

  23. Re:Wii and PS3 sold a lot of XB360s in December on Games Industry Sees 12 Billion in Sales For 2006 · · Score: 1

    I doubt people "settled" for a $500 Xbox, +$60 for Gears, +45 for extra controller +$15 for recharge pack

    I almost did. I wanted either a PS3 or a wii and couldn't find either so I almost bought an XBOX360 because I was tired of looking and wanted something NOW.

    I'm not sure what that says about me, nor do I know why I feel it necessary to relay this piece of info. Such is life, I suppose.

  24. Re:age on Harrison Ford Turned Down Han Solo Role · · Score: 1

    Interesting that you said that because I'm giving notice today. w00t!

  25. age on Harrison Ford Turned Down Han Solo Role · · Score: 1

    Harrison Ford is now *older* than Alec Guiness was when Alec played the wise old Jedi Obi-Wan in the original Star Wars.

    Just makes you think or something. meh. Maybe it doesn't. Back to trying to look like I'm working.
