  1. Re:The Spelling Nazi on Both Tea And No Tea - Updated Hitchhiker's Game · · Score: 1
    I hate being the French Spelling Nazi...

    Yes, and don't you wish you hadn't?

  2. Re:He should rather finish his comics... on Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel · · Score: 1

    You forgot to call them "fucking clown shoes" :)

  3. Re:I'm very disappointed. on Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel · · Score: 4, Funny

    Jay and Silent Bob are terrible, one-note jokes that only stoners laugh at. They're fucking clown shoes. If they were real, I'd beat the shit out of them for being so stupid. I can't believe Miramax would have anything to do with this shit. I, for one, will be boycotting this movie. Who's with me?

  4. Re:"Scaling back WinFS" on Windows XP To Get Longhorn Technologies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    (pssst... Funny doesn't help your karma (really, check the FAQ))

  5. Re:Whats different? on Locus Interviews Neal Stephenson · · Score: 1

    Well, Stephenson wrote 1, maybe 2 Cyberpunk books (I think Diamond Age is debatable). I wouldn't exactly call him a "Cyberpunk author".

  6. Re:Baroque Cycle on Locus Interviews Neal Stephenson · · Score: 1

    Yes well, to each his own. Personally I found that extra 600 pages so interesting, funny and well written that I didn't mind at all.

  7. Re:Fiction Vs Non on Locus Interviews Neal Stephenson · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Where the hell did he say his work is 100% fiction? It's called Historical Fiction for a reason, dude. (And if you think his work is 100% accurate, you're off your nut)

  8. Re:A defence of apparent karma whoring (-1, offtop on Locus Interviews Neal Stephenson · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow, I had to read that like 5 times before I understood it; Are you sure you haven't read Quicksilver?

  9. Re:A day in the life of a spammer on A Day In The Life Of A Spammer · · Score: 1

    Wow, that's what I do anyway! I guess I might as well start spamming.

  10. Re:Groklaw, a day late on Microsoft Funded Study Cinches 10yr Deal · · Score: 1

    What the hell are you talking about? Slashdot posts news from other online sources, that's all it does. That's all it's ever done! That's what it's supposed to do!

  11. Re:A good reason *not* to keep these things secret on Emergency Alert System Insecure · · Score: 1

    No, it's a fundamentally different kind of obscurity. When people talk about security through obscurity they're talking about the algorithm, not the key.

  12. Re:US Officials realized this... on Emergency Alert System Insecure · · Score: 1

    That's ludicrous!

  13. Ralph on Public Markets For Predicting Google's Market Cap · · Score: 1
    The first market, GOOGLE_LIN, trades contracts with liquidation values linearly dependent on the market cap. The second, GOOGLE_WTA, trades six unique and exhaustive contracts in a winner-takes-all market.

    My cat's breath smells like cat-food.

  14. Re:As the article says on Apple vs. Microsoft Myths Revisited · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Yep, you're right. There really isn't anything you can do about a trojan such as that. However, it is quite possible to be free of RPC worms, most web-browser exploits, viruses that can infect your computer merely by selecting an email, firewalls that boot up after the network stack, computer that get infected before they can even be updated, ect.

    It's disingenuous to just say: "There's a kind of infection that likely can't be stopped, so it doesn't really matter how secure the code is". It's ignoring all the other kinds of infection that are directly linked to the codebase's security, and can be stopped.

  15. Re:*giggles* on Google IPO Open for Registration · · Score: 1

    Wow, never thought I'd see financial-trading terminology flamewars on slashdot.

  16. Re:'Cyberathelete'? on Swedes Dominate Counter-Strike Championship · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wow, you are really reaching to support your irrational hatred of pro-gamers.

    How do you know my language?!? Are you Sara Conner?

  18. Re:It isn't and neither is the topic on Bash 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, well, it's in the Linux section. Speaking of, is this the first story actually posted here? With the other stories in this section added retroactively? I can't remember ever seeing this or the IT one before.

  19. Re:Mr. Lucas on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh, you're just bitter 'cause he killed your dad.

    "The word of mouth for the iPod is very good and it's the most popular mp3 player out there."

    "Is not."

    Useful, thanks.

  21. Re:Are you kidding? I HATE iTunes! on The Future of the Software Industry · · Score: 1

    I use iTunes, but don't own an iPod. I'd be interested in hearing exactly what your objections are.

    The goggles, they do nothing! (Umm, ear goggles that is... oh never mind)

  23. Re:Yeah on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: 1

    Ironic that the Interface Hall Of Shame website has a big useless %99.5 empty frame on the side. With just 1 link, to a page in italian for an ISP. And a link to a frame-less version which doesn't work.

  24. Hmm on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 1
    I'll read all comments posted in response to this story or to my weblog.

    Wow, I hope you like obscene ascii-art!

  25. Re:features on Favorite Programming Language Features? · · Score: 1
    Excuse me if I'm missing something, but the design by contract of which you speak sounds like it could just be done by assertions. Or is there something fancier that design by contract does? I'm unfamiliar with the subject.

    i.e.

    double sqrt(double x)
    {
    assert(x > 0);
    ...
    assert(abs(result - x * x)/result < epsilon);
    }
