    And yet, you are here on Slashdot.
    I do believe that grub is an anti-religious troll (read his sig, then read his posting history).
    And yet, you are here posting anonymously, thereby preventing us from examining your proclivities.

  12. "Manually Create and Install a .dll File" on Critical Review of the Zune · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    The installer app failed, and an hour into the ordeal, I found myself asking my office goldfish, "Has it really come to this? Am I really about to manually create and install a .dll file?"

    But there it was, right on the Zune's tech support page. Is this really what parents want to be doing at 4 a.m. on Christmas morning?

    To which the goldfish replied:

    No, dude, you've got to register one. Now stop talking to me.

  16. Re:What about the cops? on London Police Equipped With 360-Degree Cams · · Score: 1, Insightful
    An example of what I mean: A cop gets called "pig" (the UK version), cop turns off video, kicks the crap out of kid, turns video back on, and then says "I was attacked! You saw him trying to provoke me!" Or whatever, you guys get the idea.

    It's more likely that the kid pulls knife on the copper, mugs him, gets a bit roughed up in the process, nicks the camera, and then films himself, uses it as "evidence" to claim that his human rights were violated in the commission of a criminal act, and that he is therefore entitled to compensation.

    I still maintain the point that designing a black monolith in 2001 is
    a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not
