  1. Thank the Gods I Live in NH! on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    Other than property taxes, we have no income nor sales tax.

  2. Tmobile, worst customer service EVER on T-Mobile Ends Contracts and Subsidies · · Score: 1

    I will never, EVER use Tmobile. EVER. (yes, disgruntled). I had to cancel early due to moving and having absolutely NO coverage in my new location. Suddently, the early termination fee more than doubled for each of our phones. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, was told the guy I'm talking to was one. When I asked to speak to his boss, was told he's not available, but his name was "Fred" I asked for the last name, was specifically told that "Fred" has no last name. I HATE Tmobile with a passion, and repeatedly hope they go out of business in shame.

  3. Re:Pull Your Head Out of Your Ass on Pope To Resign Citing Advanced Age · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People like you are what's wrong with organized religion and one of the primary reasons of why I am atheist. Really? Strange, I would've thought a disbelief in the concept of a God would've made you an atheist. If you have a reason OTHER than that, then you need to seriously rethink your convictions (hint: belief in a God doesn't require believing in the "holy" organizations that claim to know what's "right.")

  4. Re:It's not fair on 26 Nuclear Power Plants In Hurricane Sandy's Path · · Score: 5, Funny

    You all got a river to catch fire, I think you're ahead.

  5. Re:If your goal is to make games... on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Jump Back Into Programming? · · Score: 2

    And there's some really great video tutorials of how to use Unity (http://www.3dbuzz.com comes to mind--it has both free and paid content, as well as http://www.design3.com/)

  6. Why make them available at all? on Comcast Pays $800,000 To U.S. For Hiding Stand-Alone Broadband · · Score: 2

    If comcast doesn't want consumers to know about the alternate packages, why make them available at all? Granite State Communications (local telco here in NH) has NO standalone internet package--if you want internet, you HAVE to have their phone.

  7. Re:the US West Coast is next on 7.4-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Japan; Tsunami Alert Issued · · Score: 1

    I'd read that due to the type of fault in the west coast that such high-mag quakes simply won't happen (though undoubtedly they'll be severe enough to everyone who lives through them).

  8. #WP7 not a smartphone or somethin'?! on As HTML5 Gets 2014 Final Date, Flash Floods Mobile · · Score: 1

    How 'bout some flash lovin' for Windows Phone 7. It's like I bought an iOS device or something!!

  9. Re:Can't stop using your cell phone for short time on Electronics In Flight — Danger Or Distraction? · · Score: 1

    THIS! What the hell, are our minds so needy as to have to be constantly glued to those damn social life preservers? Or, as folk at work like to call them, mothership tethers.

  10. Re:the whole team was let go just yesterday on Yahoo! To Close Delicious · · Score: 1

    Yes. Yes, they do. In fact all engineering at my company partakes in the bonus pie, provided the company's doing well enough to trigger the bonuses.

  11. NSFW on iPhone4 vs. HTC Evo *NSFW* · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But that was seriously funny, thanks!

  12. And I'm Going to Sue Darwin on Pedestrian Follows Google Map, Gets Run Over, Sues · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If he'd have done his job we wouldn't have to suffer through this kind of crap.

  13. Bob, eh? on 15 Years of Microsoft Bob · · Score: 1

    I hate Bob, too.

  14. Re:so in other words on Microsoft "Albany" Offers Office and Security as Subscription · · Score: 1

    I doubt it. Once you make payment, you should be good locally--without having to contact a licensing server--until the expiration date of that payment.

  15. Re:I worked in this department for 3 summers on Lab Produces 3.6 Billion Degree Gas · · Score: 1

    My work involved doing quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations to extract equation of state (EOS) data for the tungsten wires used in the z-pinches.

    Alright, that's just crazy talk.

    I just had to get an B.A. in English. Mutter mutter mutter.

  16. Re:No, the real question is... on Red Hat, Linux and Intel iMacs · · Score: 4, Funny

    What about my Beloved BeOS?

    I believe the correct term for that sentiment is "necrophilia".

  17. Re:An Idea (Hopefully Good) on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    Ok, so where you're coming from is more of a "good story above all other considerations" angle rather than a "good story and community building angle (rewarding the community for participating)" angle. That's an important distinction, and as long as everyone else visiting the site understands this, then good on ya'.

    It's your site, your vision--you've obviously done good things from the start to build it up to where it is. Hopefully /. will be agile enough to continue its momentum.

  18. An Idea (Hopefully Good) on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    Perhaps only accept submissions from someone who has written at least n comments to stories at /. (n being whatever you choose > 0). Also, their Karma must be above a certain point.

    This will give a true community feel to /. that seems to be getting lost. Members who participate in the site--leave comments, etc.--are the ones who direct the ship.

    Anyone else submitting stories probably has their own agenda. While their stories might be cool, they're truly not part of the community.

    Active/semi-active participants are the folk who generate your ad revenue, not others.

  19. Re:This is SO neat! on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 1

    The French government has read your joke.

    And surrendered.

  20. Re:Holy crap on Beagle 2 Probe Spotted on Mars · · Score: 3, Funny

    Of course it's pixelated!

    That way, you don't see the cinderblocks under it and the missing tires.

    The Beagle didn't find life, life found the Beagle!

  21. Re:Give CmdrTaco a break. on Google to Buy Opera? · · Score: 1

    And once again, sarcasm is mistaken for sincerity.

  22. Wow, I bet he didn't expect... on Marquette Dental Student Suspended For Blogging · · Score: 1

    the Inquisition!

  23. Re:Lol. on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they run Windows XP?

    No, their civilization, having the benefit of being at least a few decades of technological advances ahead of us, are now using Vista RC 1.

  24. Re:Clip.... you bet! on Microsoft Office 12 Beta 1 Is Out · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're wrong. This is OPEN SOURCE we're talking about. The Clippy would say:

    "Don't know how to turn off automatic bulleting? FCKING N003, RTFM. Luzer!"

  25. Re:They're getting ready to give it out on .Net Framework and Visual Studio Now Available · · Score: 1

    When I registered, I was told it was a 180-day time trial. A shame.
