  1. Re:How? on US Gasoline Prices Spur Telework · · Score: 1

    Pure garbage. Average fuel economy was 15 MPG on 1975. Now it's 28. Not as high as it should be, but significantly better.

  2. Re:Korea has 10MBPs to the home... on Broadband isn't Broadband Unless its 2Mbps? · · Score: 0

    You rock at loud and flashy though
    ... and you suck at the Internet.
  3. Re:so, what this article is saying is... on Modern Medicine Might Have Saved Lincoln · · Score: 1

    You'd have to step around a bunch of sheep poop, too. They used to graze animals on the lawn.

  4. Re:$16,000 on $16,000 Bounty for Sendmail, Apache Zero-Day Flaws · · Score: 0

    For someone a little more eastbound, that's a nice chunk of change.
    Bullcrap. I live in Pennsylvania and that's still chump change!
  5. Re:Rambo V: The Slashdot Troll on A Side Effect of Testosterone Poisoning · · Score: 1

    What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

  6. Re:Value and Scarcity. on Flickr Censors A Photographer's Plea · · Score: 1

    Imagine working as a programmer and on payday, being told that you aren't getting a paycheck because your code is infinitely reproducible and not worth anything. Heck, you can say that about nearly any job where you don't actually produce a tangible product or service.

  7. Re:constitutional lawyers? on Linus Responds To Microsoft Patent Claims · · Score: 1

    Arts must be useful to be protected. I doubt entertainment can be considered "useful" in the way that was meant when the Constitution was written.
    "Entertainment" usually includes music and theater. So are only the visual arts protected in your constitution? Would Cage's 4'33" be considered entertainment or "useful" art? Which art is more useful: a libretto for "Phantom of the Opera" or a recorded performance?
  8. Re:So this means on Videogames Turn 40 · · Score: 3, Funny

    So is Frogger so simple, a vertical white block can play it?

  9. Re:Life in prison? on Congress May Outlaw 'Attempted Piracy' · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Life in prison? on Congress May Outlaw 'Attempted Piracy' · · Score: 1

    Well, we have Megan's law, for better or worse.

  11. Re:The thing is that it's true on Bungie Vs. Miyamoto - Fight! · · Score: 1
    How many is "many"? There were at least four.

    couldn't even get lost
    I guess you like non-fun and frustration in your gaming.
  12. Re:Lights... on A "Bill of Lights" to Restrict LEDs on Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the article writer thinks that useful things like router status and numlock lights (you'll agree if you actually use the keypad) are useless. He just hates lights.

  13. Re:You must be new here. on Hybrid Cars to Get New Mileage Ratings · · Score: 1

    Don't mind the fact that the fuel efficiency estimates have gone down for ALL vehicles, not just hybrids. Also please continue to ignore the existence of several hybrid and E85 models from US automakers.

  14. Re:Trying to care on Botnet Mafia in Online Turf War · · Score: 1

    No, he was angry because it wasn't in English.

  15. Re:Poor judgement on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    Given the heightened tension of the situation, your other ten are as likely (if not more so) to start shooting at one another as the gunman, letting off rounds as soon as they see someone else with a gun, and that's not to mention the collateral damage caused by hastily-aimed shots missing their intended target and ending their path inside an innocent bystander.
    I'm sorry, there must be something wrong with my web browser. I didn't see your expert credentials or citations to back up that statement.
  16. Re:Poor judgement on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    Fast forward 2 weeks after the law is passed, and EVERY business has signs up forbidding firearms anywhere near the premises.
    I'd say an actual armed robber would be one person who wouldn't bother to obey the sign. Meanwhile, a friendly customer who might have drawn his weapon to protect the store will be unarmed. You might as well put up a sign saying, "STEALING NOT ALLOWED ON THE PREMISES!"
  17. Re:Under the PATRIOT Act... on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 2, Informative

    You were modded down because you were whining that you would probably be modded down. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

  18. The last thing Asians need on Bubble Fusion Researcher Faces Fraud Trial · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He asked, 'Where are the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the Asian community during this episode that has caused this biased and openly one-sided smear campaign?
    The last thing we need are more Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons. Liars, fools, and blowhards are definitely not part of a good long-term strategy.
  19. Re:Long running authors? on EA Announces Simpsons Game, Parodies Videogames · · Score: 1

    Why not install some rabbit ears and cancel now? It's a network show!

  20. Re:Operation Clambake on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 1

    Most of the events you list are documented in reliable writings made by multiple witnesses, not scrawled on a scrap of paper by a lousy sci-fi writer with the footnote, "very space opera."

  21. Re:How is this appropriate for slashdot? on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 1

    Sometimes, a troll is just too stupid to even bother commenting on. Oops, I guess I just did!

    Obviously you've been singing "la la" with your hands over your ears since 2000, Al.

  24. Re:Not going to happen. on For Democrats, Florida Primary May Not Count · · Score: 0, Troll

    He also warned that government makes for a dangerous servant and a fearful master- yet the average Slashdotter thinks they can get the "servant" (huge social programs, overarching environmental legislation, high taxes) without government becoming their "master" (censorship, surveillance, oppression).

  25. Re:Not Even Dio on Seven Tracks for 80s Guitar Hero Announced · · Score: 1

    Dude... It's My Life came out in 2000. And those Ray Parker and Proclaimers aren't exactly featured-guitar songs.
