  1. So, competition is a GOOD thing then? on EC Approves Unconditionally Sony-BMG Merger · · Score: 1

    Right? Just checking.

  2. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 1

    Wow, your ignorance is astounding. Hopefully you'll leave your parents' basement and the ultra-liberal university soon.

  3. Cow Patties! on Storing Data In Cow Guts? · · Score: 1

    We have silicon wafers, floppy disks, CD platters, so I nominate the following as a name for this new technology:

    Cow Patties!

  4. Re:Distinction between sport-light and ultralight? on FAA Approves Sport Pilot License · · Score: 1

    > a 1942 Taylorcraft for $10,000 and then actually afford to keep it airborne.

    In the same sense as being able to keep a 1942 Ford roadworthy?

  5. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 1

    Coward.

  6. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 1

    LOL, typical socialist - you don't care what others do as long as it's MANDATORY. I'm not worried, my fellow Republicans are plenty.

    Your delight in trying to impose your miserable will on others - you're obviously a sociopath. Get a life and stop posting utter crap and lies here.

  7. Question on The BookMachine: On-Demand Book Printing in 3-5 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Are any of the books free?

  8. If slashdotters have any consistency... on Verizon Announces FTTP Prices · · Score: -1, Troll

    They will BOYCOTT Verizon because of their "big bad" SiteFinder. LOL.

  9. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 1

    > It became clear to me belatedly, that running a business is about social responsibility.

    So start a charity to support whatever boneheaded notions of a "good society" you have.

  10. Oh please... on PHP 5.0 Goes For Microsoft's ASP-dot-Net · · Score: 2, Informative

    PHP5 is a clear shot at ASP? Maybe ASP 3.x, NOT ASP.Net. PHP's library pales in comparison to .Net. I'd rather use Mono.

  11. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 1

    You say, as an Anonymous Coward. It speaks volumes to the pathetic naivety of slashdot when anti-corporate far-left socialist/communist posts are modded high, and posts debunking their crap are modded low.

    Rriiiggghtt. You can make up whatever bullshit you want, living in your parent's basement and attending some super-liberal university, about your owning all sorts of companies and so on. Which ones? Why not post your resume? From your earlier comment about sole proprietorships, it's clear you're lying and are very naive.

    You're the one who has "wage-slave" written on your forehead.

  13. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    In general I am against two things: corporations (too much potential for abuse in the name of protection from "frivolous" lawsuits) and pan-national business in general (because no business should rival elected government in power and reach). These are simple things really. I am not anti-capitalist at all, I am simply anti-highway-robberry-in-broad-daylight, which is what those accusing me here of being "brainwashed" seem to find desirable.

    Well, we out in the working world could care less if you're "against" corporations. Do you really think you'll change anything? If you get out of the isolated liberal sanctionary of the university where the majority of parent-subsidized students and teachers agree with this anti-capitalist nonsense, and go work for a business, perspective will change (unless of course you STAY in academe, or work for the Gov't).

    Corporations provide a wealth of jobs and products and services - more so than any other business types. Sole proprietorships are basically individuals. It's evident you don't know what you're talking about.

    As for businesses being bigger than governments, so what? You anti-corporate ninnies never realize that governments are the worst type of monopolies.

  14. Re:Hear hear on Dell CEO Tells All · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You've clearly been brainwashed by far-left anti-capitalist socialist flakes like Mikey Moore, Zinn, Chomsky, etc.

    why single out corporations? Why not rail against LLC's, partnerships, and other business types?

    Furthermore, if you're against corporations so much, why don't you boycott them - starting with your computer, all it's components, access providers, etc. - all made/provided by CORPORATIONS or other business types.

    Or maybe when you finally get out of the liberal haven that is universities these days you'll think about starting a business and would prefer to protect your personal assets when one of your customers uses one of your products in a way it was never intended, harms themself, then decides to sue you for all you're worth.

  15. Welcome the the Internet on North Korea Opens Official Website · · Score: 1

    North Korea's first web site, and you try to welcome them with a slashdotting? Should do wonders for US-North Korean relations!

    BTW, why's the site in English?

  16. Re:Active Volcano? on Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars · · Score: 1

    Really. What are your references?

  17. relevance in the real world? on Searching for The New York Times · · Score: 1

    The NYT isn't of much relevance in the "real world", except as a blatant example of how biased to the left a publication can be.

  18. So? on Stargate Atlantis Tomorrow · · Score: 1, Funny

    What compelling reason is there to watch Stargate Atlantis? I have no plans to otherwise.

  19. Active Volcano? on Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    From what I've heard (and obviously nobody else here), Mars doens't have a molten core. How could it have volcanoes?

  22. Possible Playlist on Tour De France Showcases Multitude Of Tech · · Score: 3, Funny

    If the cyclists are listening to mp3's, maybe their playlists look something like this:

    10. "The Cougar Fight Song": Nothing is quite as stirring as hearing the band break into "Rise and Shout" at the beginning of a sporting event.

    9. "Olé": No, this is not the Ricky Martin World Cup song. It's the chant soccer fans around the world have been singing far longer that consists of just that one word: "Olé, olé, olé, olé... olé, olé."

    8. "SportsCenter Theme": Every true sports fanatic now recognizes the familiar intro to a full hour of the best of the day's sports action. Most of us watch it two or three times a day.

    7. "Chariots of Fire" - Vangelis: This classic theme music has defined track songs for over twenty years. The Olympic team training on the beach idealizes the essences of pushing yourself to the limit.

    6. "The Hey Song": Who can resist the compelling, "duh-dun duh-dun duh-dun duh-dun duh-dun-dun . . . HEY!" during a game? We all know it . . . and we all yell just as loud when it's played.

    5. "Eye of the Tiger" - Survivor: The most compelling sports stories come from the underdogs, the little guys (see March Madness and every sports movie ever made). This song epitomizes fighting against the odds.

    4. "Take Me Out to the Ball Game": Any list on sports songs must include this classic. It conjures up images of lazy afternoons at the ballpark, of the seventh inning stretch, and of preserving the tradition and history of sports.

    3. "You All Ready For This?": Sports action must be on tap whenever you hear this familiar opening music. It gets the blood boiling and the vocal cords limber for the excitement to follow.

    2. "We Are the Champions" - Queen: Athletic competition means winners and losers, and no song better embodies that than this one. In extolling the journey, it honors the effort it takes to get to the top.

    1. "We Will Rock You" - Queen: Stomp, stomp, clap. Stomp, stomp, clap. Everyone steps up to the challenge when the greatest sports song of all time is played. It's played at every level in every sport, making it easily #1.

    Honorable Mention: "Sweet Georgia Brown" (Harlem Globetrotters theme), "Charge!", "Hey, Baby", "Jump Around."

  23. Re:A map without a key... on Atomic Veterans Speak Out · · Score: 1

    Hints: Figure out where the Nevada Test Site is. See what color is over it, looking like a huge hurricane pinwheel.

  24. passport, birth certificate, drivers license, util on An Online ID Registry · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, those could NEVER be forged, stolen, etc.

  25. What about the Clapper??!! on Nursing Homes Go High-Tech · · Score: 1

    Clap-On! Clap-Off!

    Surely those have been in retirement homes for years - not high-tech? :p
