  1. Re:wheres my reparations? on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Life on your world must be interesting, where something as complex as prostitution can be easily compared to breathing air.

    I wasn't aware that making statements about commonly known things was "making shit up".

    Actually, that's almost word for word the definition - nicely done!

    Anytime you want to link to some studies, that's be great. Unlike you, I am uncomfortable trusting my "common knowledge" on a situation I've had zero involvment with.

    Wait, does that mean you pay for sex regularly? Do tell!

    Still, the lack of any kind of evidence won't keep you or GP from making shit up, so that's all good.

    Oooh! Would love a citation for that.

    You know, there's already plenty of real, tangible things to excoriate the Obama administration for, we don't need you teabaggers showing up with the useless talking points.

    I'll take that as a yes, then.

    I actually have a different theory for this troll. I don't think his target is Slahshdot, but the real M Kristopeit.

    No one puts this much effort into trolling a fading website, but for a real person? Makes more sense.

    Slashdot, where you're never more than few minutes away from a authentic pedant.

    New money already has an expiration date. The Fed already updates their money on a regular basis. Among other things, it helps flush out black market cash back into circulation.

    Way ahead of you. We've already accepted manure, services, and pot for our work. Everybody's happy.

  11. Re:Franken 2012! on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    I'm reminded a lot of what the Democrats did at Wellstone's funeral. Mostly because they did it again two weeks ago in Tucson. Shame on them.

    Which was? Seriously, you left us all hanging there, you tease.

    And sad to say, Franken is not centrist.

    Funny, I can't find anyone here claiming he is.

    Face it, you couldn't admit a clown like Franken was right on something without getting in a few out of context digs. That's pretty sad.

  12. Re:I wouldn't trust them on NY Times Considers Creating a WikiLeaks Type Site · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which one? The first one or the current one? Trick question! Actually, the figurehead of the "Liberal Media" loves killing foreigners.

  13. Re:I still don't get it. on Spam Levels Lowest Since 2009 · · Score: 2

    IIRC correctly, there was a FP slashdot article years back that broke down the economics of spam and the short version is: Just a few clicks easily pays for millions of sent messages.

    if all that matters is market success then Microsoft is at the top of the game with Windows.

    My bad. I thought you were being sarcastic with that post, but apparently you were just being tautological.

    what rules?

    Well, like this UI crap you keep going on about. Let's see: you called it a MAJOR issue. All I'm saying is that it apparently isn't. You're the one complaining here, don't forget.

    geeks?

    LOL.

    Now you've failed the argument so you're just going off on random topics.

    No, you're still sucking hard at that reading comprehension thing.

    Accessibility of the UI is a MAJOR issue, which is what we were discussing, and you then decide it doesn't matter because they have lots of sales...well SO DOES MICROSOFT with Windows. I guess security or stability or any other issue doesn't matter because they have lots of sales.

    Woooh! More redundancy. Notice you still haven't addressed my point.

    Troll or fanboi, pathetic either way.

    Finally, a glimmer of comprehension. Will the other shoe drop?

    Don't whinge just because you're looking stupid.

    Whinging? I'm ecstatic! Most people give up and crawl away, but you're obvioulsy determined to be as pathetic as me. Carry on.

    I just think its about time people stop saying you can't compare Apples and Oranges.

    Typical slashdot: You're technically correct, but linguistically useless.

    That begs an interesting question for the bio majors here: What are the relative merits of dopamine and adrenaline? Can they even be compared, or is it apple and oranges?

    Same you couldn't read any further - you missed the part where i said it didn't matter, in all caps, no less.

    That's been my whole point all long, one you've still failed to grasp - you silly geeks with your silly rules are completely unable to predict or explain success and get all in a lather about stupid minutiae instead of learning something.

    Oh, and if all it takes to make me a fanboi is to troll you by calling you a hater, great! Keep playing this stupid game.

  20. Re:Being serious, on Apple May Remove the Home Button On the Next IPad · · Score: 1

    UI, accessibility, keyboard, whatever...you can't say they 'have a clue' in any of those fields based purely on sales.

    And I never did. This is what, the fourth time you've tried this line of argument?

    fanboi

    Another hard fail. Again, if you can find anything in any of my thousands of comments that shows I'm a fanboi...

    Keep beating these dead horses. I've never seen anybody works so hard to be so wrong.

    Sorry, no. I was talking about the keyboard, and the slashdot crowd complete unhinged lunacy when it comes to success they don't understand/control. You're a perfect example.

    As someone with quite large hands I call bollocks on this.

    Uhhh, good for you? Doesn't change how I feel. And I'm not saying you're wrong either, just that onscreen keyboards aren't that hard to use.

    typing in En_AU is ridiculously painful

    Well, as a Pom, I think you're already doing it wrong in the first place, so you have no right to bitch ;)
