  1. Re:But what are the terms? on Red Hat to Acquire JBoss · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think this move is about competing with IBM just as much, if not more, as it is about competing with MS.

  2. Should I RTFA? on Return of the Web Mob · · Score: -1

    Judging from the comments, this story has nothing to do with the slashdot moberator system.

  3. Re:Follow The Money! (was Re:They may have to) on Cringely Predicts Apple to Ship OS X for Any PC · · Score: 1

    But that doesn't keep Apple from limiting the hardware it supports to only the most recent hardware (non-legacy) from a limited number of vendors.

    Are there any vendors (other than Apple) that still makes one button mice?

    Kidding!

    So, increase the rotation. Gosh, do I have to think of everything?

    But we'll never know for sure how much Stallman weighs soaking wet, since it's doubtful he'll ever bathe.

    Maybe he's sick of his imaginary girlfriend asking him, "Does my source look fat in this distro?"

    Did it used to be named Foster's Moon Landing? Are you an astronaut?

    I couldn't tell if your fictional geeks were comparing penis sizes, wagering, or negotiating a marriage.

    I'm William Carlos Williams, you insensitive clod!

  11. Re:Google + Thesaurus? on Google Wins Rights to Aussie Algorithm · · Score: 1

    The article wasn't very informative, so your guess is as good as any. Or you might just want to run out and patent your "thesaurus algorithm", anyway.

    On a tangent, I'm frustrated by online thesauri, not to mention the majority of thesauri, which are formatted similar to a dictionary. When I was in middle school, I had an outline based thesaurus that was great. It was indexed, to make it easier to find words, but the outline structure added a lot to the sense of the different shades of meanings.

    I'm disappointed that no one has really done a sophisticated online thesaurus yet.

    Do you even know what you're talking about? Have you even tried it? It works really well. Do a search for Foster's and the first result is beer, followed by sheila, shrimp on the barbie, and g'day mate. I don't know how we ever survived before having an Aussie algorithm.

    Yeah, I apologize. It was wrong. I'll do anything for a laugh. Even call someone a human coffee table.

  17. Jane, you ignorant slut on Cringely Predicts Apple to Ship OS X for Any PC · · Score: 1

    What the hell are you talking about? Here's to the crazy ones? More like, here's to the psychotic and rabid ones. If Dvorak was someone's dog, he would have been put down long ago.

    Once in a while, Cringley dazzles us with brilliance (cf Google network containers), but more often than not (as in this case) baffles with bullshit. Cringley can be a smart feller, whereas Dvorak is nothing more than a fart smeller who takes delight in his lily scented flatulence.

    Besides, what has Dvorak done since inventing that keyboard layout?

  18. Re:Reply from the guy who wrote the article on Microsoft Buyout of Ailing Sony Possible · · Score: 1

    Good god, his post is even more incomprehensible than his article. I guess when you're pulling things out of your ass, coherence is more a hindrance than a help.

  19. Re:More likely than Apple dropping OS X for Window on Cringely Predicts Apple to Ship OS X for Any PC · · Score: 1

    You're describing what is known as Operant Conditioning, but it doesn't explain pundits like Robert Enderle or Laura Didio. For that, you need Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning, at least to explain why pundits like these two are drooling idiots.

    I'd like to nominate you to be the slashdot representative in this debate, since clearly your public mass debating skills are second to none.

    You think he actually went beyond "Oh look, MS might buy Sony"?

    His thought processes can't extend farther than two consecutive thoughts before being interrupted by a near crippling craving for breakfast cereal. I'd bet money that he never even read the article, or if he did, that he even recognized that it was poorly written.

    PPL is extremely vulnerable to man in the middle attacks, especially when that man in the middle is a shotgun wielding vice president.

    No, you're mangling it beyond recognition. And mangling a few of your own.
