  1. How Much Cocaine? on Windows Phone 7 Lacks Copy-and-Paste · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I wonder how much cocaine is consumed on the Microsoft Campus everyday?

  2. Re:PDF files will render as seamlessly as HTML? on Google Builds a Native PDF Reader Into Chrome · · Score: 4, Informative

    Or am I misunderstanding that feature?

    Saying "PDF files will render as seamlessly as HTML" is not the same as "PDF files will render as HTML".

    So, yes, I think you misunderstand.

    The parent is "Offtopic"? Really?

  4. Re:"Salon" impresses me on Wikileaks Source Outed To Stroke Hacker's Own Ego · · Score: 1

    Hm... wouldn't we normally call it entrapment if...

    DUDE! Are you not paying attention? It's *ALL* a set-up by the Pentagon to make Wikileaks unattractive to potential leakers. This Army guy is in on it, he'll probably get a fucking Achievement Medal and a trip to Officer's Candidate School out of it.

    I mean, turn in your tin-foil hat dude!

  5. Re:Mozilla should pull them on TACO Extension for Firefox Forked After Proprietary Update · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And perpetually ban that developer/team/company from every having access again.

    Or change their rules for updates, because according to the "official" Mozilla response, TACO 3.0 passed all the requirements. Mozilla doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

  6. Good Grief. on Wikileaks Source Outed To Stroke Hacker's Own Ego · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Honestly, if you're going to leak government docs to Wikileaks, you should't go around tooting your horn about it to random "hackers" you find on-line. This guy may have been caught in the end anyway, but he didn't do himself any favors by not KEEPING HIS MOUTH SHUT about it.

  7. Re:First rule of breaking the law on Wikileaks Source Outed To Stroke Hacker's Own Ego · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you don't want to get caught keep your damn mouth shut.

    Indeed. This guy "outed" himself by bragging online to other people.

  8. Re:No, just a fork... on TACO Extension for Firefox Forked After Proprietary Update · · Score: 1

    Nothing says a story fork has to be lighter, though at Slashdot it usually is - lighter on facts generally!

  9. No, just a fork... on TACO Extension for Firefox Forked After Proprietary Update · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's not a dupe, it's a FORK! Quit your complaining...

  10. Re:Huh. on HTC Android Smartphone Stores Browsing Screenshots · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why accept the obvious answer when you can assume the paranoid answer?

  11. Bullshit. on Google Street View Wi-Fi Data Includes Passwords, Email Content · · Score: 1

    So out of many gigabytes of accidentally-collected data...

    It is so unlikely - essentially zero - that they "accentually" collected this data. That statement is pure bullshit. But as you say, it was out there in the air unencrypted...

  12. Re:The nuclear resistance myth on Thailand Shuts Down 43,000 More Websites · · Score: 1

    It's a rather weird suggestion as the internet was designed by a government agency.

    I understand what you're saying, of course.

    But people often say things like this as if things don't change. It's really irrelevant TODAY how and why the Internet was developed because what it was developed for and by who is not what it is TODAY. Things change.

  13. Which is it? on Google Urged To Let Personal Data Fade Away · · Score: 1

    This is very clever of you. But suppose millions of people do? Should everyone know where every bit of data on every device goes before he uses it?

    When you put your personal information on the Internet, you accept that you lose control over that info. Or, you are an idiot. Which is it?

  14. Re:Good Grief... on Google Urged To Let Personal Data Fade Away · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but with more and more "personal" computing happening in "the cloud" people will hardly know that their data is *not* (only) on their device.

    Once again, you are personally responsible for what personal info you put out there. I don't use "the cloud".

  15. Re:Alternatively, We Should Add Chaff on Google Urged To Let Personal Data Fade Away · · Score: 1

    Every day, you should...

    How about "every day" you take Personal Responsibility for the crap you leave on the Intertubes?

  16. Good Grief... on Google Urged To Let Personal Data Fade Away · · Score: 1

    I don't see this happening. The "GoogleSphere" revolves around leveraging personal information. It's *ALL* about data mining and relationships.

    You know, Google isn't the only one, organically your info can live in the Intertubes forever. It's up to the indevidual to protect their personal information, not blame someone else for their own stupidity of telling everyone on Facebook or whatever that they like to feel up boys while loaded on malt beer...

  17. Re:Good to hear on WordPress 3.0 Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Even though our company writes our own CMS and e-commerce software, I am glad to see Wordpress moving forward.

    Even though I like to masturbate, I like to watch other masturbate as well. I'm glad to see young tight boys enjoying themselves.

    I've never heard of Bebo. 850 million? Maybe that's (just another reason) why AOL sucks.

  22. Re:Price on Starbucks Frees Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Obviously you're not one of the cool kids. It's the hip trendy thing now to grossly exaggerate the price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks to show how cool you are...

    I said a 20 ounce DRIP was under $2.

    Now, that Iced Chai Mocha Caffè Macchiato (Organic Rain Forrest) Light Soy Whip With a Carab Dusting and a Shot Of Almond... That was $27. In a recycled paper cup.

    ...when I'm inside even at peak time Linux temporarily becomes more popular than Windows.

    So you're the only guy that actually sits down and pays for Wi-Fi at Starbucks?

    I know people like to make fun of Starbucks for "$7" coffee, but last time I visited one here in Seattle, a 20 ounce drip was under $2.
