  1. Re:E-Readers on Electronic Paper's Past and Future · · Score: 1

    Have you thought for just a single moment that maybe you're not the target audience? Maybe not everyone needs a fucking web browser in every gadget they own.

  2. Re:You do on Dealing w/ Relocation Package Bait and Switch? · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing you don't apply for those jobs that require "good communication skills", do you?

  3. Re:Mandate on S Korea & China Mandate Common Chargers, Data Cables · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, he's pointing out that there's a difference between standards and laws.

  4. Vivienne Baron is a cunt. on UK Schools Bans WiFi Due To Health Concerns · · Score: 1

    It doesn't surprise me that this is happening in the UK. The entire country is saturated with fear-loving, limpwristed idiots. Anyone in the country who still has a spine needs to shrug off the oppression of people like Vivienne.

  5. Re:Not a solution on U.S. House Rejects Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    There is a *lot* more competition among backbone providers than there is among the major end-user broadband ISPs.

  6. Re:How Peculiar on U.S. House Rejects Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    And the more you let government regulate it, the better it is!

    Fuckwit.

  7. Re:Moochers on D-Link Firmware Abuses Open NTP Servers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Startum 1 servers aren't "expensive" nor are they a limited resource; any time server that pulls its timebase from GPS, for example, is stratum 1.

  8. Re:Bush Whacked. on President Defends Global Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Unemployment isn't devastating to the person who's smart enough to have built up savings for such an eventuality, instead of living hand-to-mouth.

    Stop being a racist prick. An inefficient economy (i.e., one affected by protectionist policies) is a negative influence on the world as a whole. Learn to compete, or get the hell out of my way.

  9. Re:Tough call for some of you on Digital Signals Spark Static From AM Radio · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I wouldn't want irrational, inflammatory bitches like Randi Rhodes polluting the RF spectrum either.

  10. Re:Oddly enough... on Training - A Company or a Worker's Responsibility? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, we work hard, and we play hard. That's why we won the cold war.

  11. Question on Sony RootKit Still A Problem? · · Score: 1

    How does this person know that his data wasn't corrupted by other efforts that might have also been doing this same scan simultaneously to his?

  12. Re:Randomness on Sober Attack on 87th Anniversary of the Nazi Party · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Great. Why didn't the article mention that?

    We're not all fucking IT weenies, we can't be expected to keep up with the malfeasance of every damn worm out there.

  13. Re:this has nothing to do with whats better on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 1

    How in the hell does such a poorly-written comment, rife with misspellings, manage to get "+4, Insightful"? Our moderators need a swift kick in the balls.

  14. Re:The real strategy on Jobs Offers Free Mac OS X For $100 Laptops · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Okay, RMS. Now go home and get back to chasing the dragon, you huggable ol' lunatic.

  15. WTF? on Ma Bell is Back · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Meanwhile, a great force and a high pitched whining sound has been reported from Judge Greene's grave as he spins at nearly 10K RPM."

    Or maybe Judge Greene realizes that the telecommunications business has changed dramatically in twenty years and that 'Ma Bell' would no longer have a monopoly, so he doesn't actually give a shit. But don't let that keep you from sensationalizing a story, slashdot!

  16. Two ways of looking at it on AbiWord beats OpenOffice to a Grammar Checker · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sun's license requirements for OpenOffice.Org make it much more difficult for such collaborations to occur.

    Or, you know, it could be AbiWord's license requirements that make it so difficult.

  17. Re:I think you miss the point on MySQL 5.0 Candidate Released · · Score: 1

    Great. Once MySQL 5.0 is even remotely in a shape where you or I would feel comfortable running it in a production environment, then perhaps your argument will hold water.

  18. Been there. Done that. on Idaho Companies Tout New Wireless Record · · Score: 5, Informative

    Uhh, I'm pretty sure voyager 1 has the record for data transmission across a wireless link.

  19. -funroll-loops on Embedded Gentoo? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Oh great. So now my next DVD player's going to need a week from the time I first plug it in to compile everything from scratch.

  20. Re:Dude! You're getting a pile! on Dell Recalls Millions of AC Adaptors · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Blame Dell for the dead hard drives because, you know, they make the hard drives that they use.

    Oh, wait.

  21. Re:In Canada, we pay for everything on Pay To Have Your Phone Tapped · · Score: 1

    Stop bitching and start using a VoIP provider. This is why capitalism doesn't work; people like yourself just whine about the status quo, instead of looking for a better option.

  22. Hey, uh, I've got a surprise on Pay To Have Your Phone Tapped · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Guess who's already paying for that phone tapping? Here's a hint: it sure ain't the criminals, for the most part.

    Duh.

  23. Working on a mirror of the video/images on The Dark Side Of DefCon's Wireless Network · · Score: 2, Informative

    Go easy on it.

  24. Re:I'm finding another bug on TiVo Bug Shuts Out Many Series 1 TiVo Owners? · · Score: 1

    This sounds like it might be related to closed captioning. Does your TV support closed captions, and would it by chance be set to TEXT1 or TEXT2?

  25. (-1, Troll) on AOL To Charge for AIM Videoconferences · · Score: 1

    Oh, my god! Being asked to pay for something that you use?! Who'd've thought! What a travesty!
