  1. Re: Easy grammar on Ask Slashdot: What Would a Constructed Language Have To Be To Replace English? · · Score: 1

    Ditto, for "silent letters" in English. They're how we disambiguate homonyms (ex: to/too/two).

    See True Homonym http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

  2. Re:if you ban cash on Too Much Privacy: Finnish Police Want Big Euro Notes Taken Out of Circulation · · Score: 2

    If I lived in Finland I'd probably want to get out too. You know how little daylight they have there? I'd rather be in prison in Spain at this time of year :)

    Huh I didn't know this was a thing... http://www.thelocal.es/2013121...

  3. Re:A fifth horseman on AT&T Hacker 'weev' Demands One Bitcoin For Each Hour He Spent In Jail · · Score: 1

    It's a post about a slashdot troll, and not even the mods seem to notice.

  4. Re: weev, GNAA president demands one bitcoin for.. on AT&T Hacker 'weev' Demands One Bitcoin For Each Hour He Spent In Jail · · Score: 1

    "Notorious troll posts controversial letter". We're really doing this? Was no one else around when gnaa tagged every Slashdot article?

  5. weev, GNAA president demands one bitcoin for... on AT&T Hacker 'weev' Demands One Bitcoin For Each Hour He Spent In Jail · · Score: 1

    Why is no one mentioning that weev was the GNAA president?

    Your worldview is pie in the sky.

  7. Re:This seems stupid. on 2-D Avatar To Be Pulled From Theaters In China · · Score: 1

    Around the turn of the 20th century, Dr Weston A. Price, a dentist, found indgenous peoples who avoided unrefined foods to have much better dental health than city dwellers.

    You mean _avoided REFINED foods_ right? If not, I really want to meet up with the sugar cane tribes. I KNEW mommy was lying!

  8. New acronym? on Creditor Objects To SCO's Plans · · Score: 1

    SCO == SCO's Creditors Object.

  9. Re:"4 wire unloaded circuit" on What To Do When Broadband is Not An Option? · · Score: 2

    What is "4 wire unloaded circuit"? a google search only results in this post.

  10. Article is third hand. on Electronic Arts Delivers OS X Games · · Score: 1

    If you follow the links on TFA you'll find it refers back to a lengthier piece written at arstechnica.

  11. 3d model? on Remote New Zealand Volcano Sees Dinosaur Alert? · · Score: 1

    looks more like a simple 3d rendering to me:

  12. Re:WTF?! on Can Watermarking Help Find GPL Violations? · · Score: 1

    it wont work. open source is too "open" for this to be possible.

  13. WTF?! on Can Watermarking Help Find GPL Violations? · · Score: 0

    This has no effect on GPL:ed code... The code is written, it can be copied, there is _NO WAY_ to watermark TEXT. Why is this news?

  14. Re:Here's the problem... on Building a PC Equal to XBox for the Same Price or Less? · · Score: 1

    A largely specialised gpu from nvidia with slightly different instructions than the standard models (extra cpu time to convert) for one thing.

  15. What's this I hear? on Working Hard? · · Score: 1

    Over time... pay? What's that?

  16. Honestly? on Sony DRU-500A Review · · Score: 1

    What is this? why am I reading this? why are you posting this? my head hurts! There is nothing on that link about the price of the product so why claim pricedrops? besides it's an allround product that has a set of features never before in one single product... why are you tormenting me!?

  17. Pointless? on LFS 4.0 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't get you. LFS is a great way for people to get a grasp of what gnu/linux is/contains. If they have the time or not is up to them, but this definately is news for nerds. I'd say that lfs has great eductational value. but that's me.

  18. Re:not a film on Review: Spirited Away · · Score: 1

    You're probably just goofing, but anyway. The anime most of us are talking about is the style of animation developed in Japan
    [Japanese, short for animshon, animation, from English animation.]
    Sometimes referred to as japanime or japanimation
    [sorta taken from dictionary.com]

  19. Workout? on Exercise for Geeks? · · Score: 1

    I would suggest martial arts (tai chi, judo, karate, yoga) combined with jogging (perhaps to the nearest store that sells jolt cola).
    As for Building muscles, well I've been pretty confident in how I look, but you could always lift a few old IBM PCs =)

  20. Linux on Diagnostic Tools for Testing 2nd Hand Machines? · · Score: 1

    How about a linux or freebsd bootdisk?

  21. Re:AMD? on Intel Inside For Apple? · · Score: 1

    wintel, microtel, whatever.
    I'm just having a hard time believing that Apple would willingly collaborate with their "arch enemys" (as stated in the 'swich' commercials and jobs keynotes, et.c.)
    I have never seen them publicly off AMD tho.

  22. AMD? on Intel Inside For Apple? · · Score: 1

    I have a hard time to believe that Apple is going anywhere NEAR Intel. Intel is soo representative of PC hardware. And they have made it clear that Pentiums are the opposite of G4s in their test. But as an earlier slashdot post said. AMD 64bits are plausable. since they too are competing agains the 'Giant' (They don't call it Microtel for nothing)

  25. What? on What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Whats wrong with Tetris?
    It's still playable... =)
    Still can't get enough of it sometimes
    then there's always xbill when tetris has gotten the best out of you.

    so there. thats what I'd bring.
