  1. Re:What is this, fourth grade? on Chinese Ban on Wikipedia Prevents Research · · Score: 1

    Perhaps. Perhaps not.

  2. Re:Must be pretty bad off in China.. on Chinese Ban on Wikipedia Prevents Research · · Score: 1
    if you are using Wikipedia as a sole source of information. our professor wont even let us cite it in college. he makes us use a crummy encyclopedia that isn't checked for accuracy like Wikipedia is such as Britanica.

    Does your school offer any English language classes such as introductory grammar and spelling?

  3. Pig Latin on The Importance of Commenting and Documenting Code? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I use Pig Latin to comment my code. Job security, you know.

  4. Coppers! on MySpace Users Revolt Against Murdoch · · Score: 2, Funny
    I was lurking around on there for a little while...

    Better watch it, that sort of thing gets "out of hand" (in more ways than one!), next thing you know, the cops want to talk to you.

  5. Re:Everything old... on PC FM Tuner Streamed Over a LAN? · · Score: 1

    Are you telling me that most cable stations are ad-free? Bullshit. Cable may have started out that way, and digital radio will not be far behind.

  6. MS Wins... on Trimarco Confirms Mass. ODF Support · · Score: 1

    In other words, this whole "Open Format Thing" will require further study, but for the time being Microsoft "Industry Standard" will be addopted to insure information access... Something like that?

  7. Here's the deal on Wikipedia Founder Releases Personal Appeal · · Score: 1

    Wikimedia isn't getting larger donations because people don't want to be paying for Jimbo's porsche, and his new wide-screen.

  8. Re:Ouch on Wine Tasting Via Computer · · Score: 2, Funny
    You can't replace a Van Gogh with electronics.

    Yes, but a pretty picture and a Photoshop filter = Andy Warhol...

  9. Re:Seeing if the wine is "Ready"? on Wine Tasting Via Computer · · Score: 1
    I doubt that WINE SNOBS will allow a computer to tell them if a wine is "good" or not, even if it's right most of the time. If I think the wine is good, I'll drink it. I don't care if someone or something agrees with me or not.

    Yeah, I hear ya, bro. Gotta love a fresh chilled flask of MD-20, those dudes know how to brew up a decent vin rosy!

  10. Not the way it works... on RIAA Bullies Witnesses Into Perjury · · Score: 1
    I suggest that everyone stop purchasing music. And, stop downloading it as well. Think about it, if no one even "illegally" downloaded music, the RIAA would go away in a big hurry

    That's not the way it works. Sales go down, and the RIAA simply claim it as evidence of more file sharing.

  11. Nit pick... on GIMP 10th Anniversary Splash Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Also, the color of the text and doggie image added to the dial do not match the original scal and numbers. The text is not a matching font, either.

  12. Re:instant discrimination (however subtle) on Orange Badge Culture At Microsoft · · Score: 1
    You're not seeing what he's saying...

    The longtime contector is a threat because the employer may try to hire the contractor full time to reduce cost.

  13. Forgot the plan... on Google Talk Targeted In Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Of course they are. This company should have stuck to its "bread and butter", extorting protection money from small companies that can't afford to fight. They can't win in court, but their many licensees' have figured they can't afford the court fight to find out. But they lost to Nortel and will lose to Google, because these two can afford the fight...

  14. Re:Huh? Money to spend? on One-at-a-time Mailing Label Printers? · · Score: 1

    So they will be using WordPerfict. My guess is that it will do the same thing?

  15. Huh? Money to spend? on One-at-a-time Mailing Label Printers? · · Score: 1

    MS Office will allow you to print ONE label at the location of your choice on a sheet. I assume Open Office will to. What's the problem with that? Unless you have cash to blow...

  16. Re:Congratulations to Izeickl for his writing tale on Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor · · Score: 1
    Can't win here, can you R.P.

    Personally, I think it's jealousy from people that have blogs no one goes to...

  17. I don't know... on A Better Anti-Phishing Toolbar? · · Score: 1

    I like to drink coffee. Sometimes I wonder about the relationship between coffee and high blood pressure. Is there one? Have studies been done? Can I get a cup of drip?

  18. XYZ Piquepaille on Linux's Difficulty with Names · · Score: 1

    XYZ is Slashdot's new Roland Piquepaille. They rotate friends for the free web traffic thing... Not that there is anything wrong with that...

  19. Re:Never tried them. on A Better Anti-Phishing Toolbar? · · Score: 1

    Better yet, don't bank or do scetchy money transactions over the Internet. Few people actually have to.

  20. Re:If the information is so trivial... on Such a Thing as too Paranoid About Privacy? · · Score: 1

    No, it's just that your "arguments" seem very paranoid, so I assume you are on drugs, or should be.

  21. Re:If the information is so trivial... on Such a Thing as too Paranoid About Privacy? · · Score: 1

    So... What meds are you on?

  22. Cool your jets... on RIAA Sets Their Sights on Russia · · Score: 1
    I don't know which is sadder, that the RIAA has such influence over Congress, or that this might be true.

    A recent bill was sponsored in the Senate. If you give enough money to your senator, you can have a bill sponsored too. Doesn't mean it will pass...

  23. Re:If the information is so trivial... on Such a Thing as too Paranoid About Privacy? · · Score: 1

    That's silly. You *are* being paranoid. In any case, the question does not ask about the open-ended future, we're talking about today, and today it does not require a DNA sample to get one of these cards. By the way, your assumption that people will think nothing of giving up their drivers ad nationa ID card for these store cards is arrogant thinking.

  24. Re:If the information is so trivial... on Such a Thing as too Paranoid About Privacy? · · Score: 1
    there's something else to them: if you have a card for their store, you're less likely to go to a store you have no card for

    That may be true, but generally there are only a few grocery chains in an area, and I gots cards for 'em all.

  25. Re:If the information is so trivial... on Such a Thing as too Paranoid About Privacy? · · Score: 1
    So you lied about your personal data, and based on that, you're saying the cards are no big deal. Do you really expect that it'll be that easy to just fib about your name forever?

    For these types of cards? Yes.
