  1. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    You replied to that article, and Lars, without using the word 'douchetruck' once. I salute you.

    I refuse to salute him for that very same reason.

  2. Re:... And Justice For All on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    Metallica Rocks, Pirating is wrong, and You suck.

    I can think of three things that are wrong with that sentence.

    The Pope is always encased in class.
    So stylish.

  4. Re:It's all a question of media on How Much Longer Will Physical Game Distribution Survive? · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, it's more of a fascist corporatist model.

    Because we treat corporations legally as people and because they had almost unlimited wealth for the last 30 years, they changed the laws to destroy capitalism wherever they could.

    We are now free to choose from LeftSockPuppet or RightSockPuppet. If either sockpuppet looks dangerous to the corporations then they flood their news stations with damaging stories about the sockpuppet and we obediently vote for the other sockpuppet instead.

    I'm so sick of sock puppets. I'm glad we finally voted in a marionette.

    single reason to ensuring that power mongers like Google or the government can't deliberately or inadvertently make subtle changes to the text without it being independently verified to be the "incorrect" version.

    How do you know power mongering publishers aren't making subtle changes to the written version?

  6. Re:Priorities on Calif. Politican Thinks Blurred Online Maps Would Deter Terrorists · · Score: 1

    Pointing to outside threats is an ages-old tactic to distract people from inside threats.

    Pointing is rude.
    My third grade teacher said so. :p

  7. Re:Ick. Ugh. on Google's Struggle To Reach Authors — of Every Book Ever Written · · Score: 1

    But that would be too inflammatory, so someone with slightly more tact should write that page. ;)

    Meh..too much work.
    Lets just go with your version.

    No, you're right. Slashdot doesn't care. Because its supposed to work that way. No velvet gloves here. No sir -e. Ham fists not only solve problems, but can be turned into delicious sandwiches. If you want something done right the first time, you do it right the first time with hands of pork.

    Mmmmm... hands of pork.

    In fact, among the reasons the North won the war is that they were so much better financed.

    That argument isn't worth a confederate dollar.....wait.

    What you say is true, but it never ceases to amaze me that people who:

    - have natural talent - develop that talent through hard work and education - are tirelessly ambitious - and incredibly hard working

    Seem to to magically have the best "luck."

    In my line fo work we call those people interns. We don't pay them.

    "I have nothing against economists: ... But beware: they can be plain wrong, yet frame things in a way to make you feel stupid arguing with them. So make sure you do not give any of them risk-management responsibilities."

    No please don't. Your wrong but I feel stupid arguing with you.

    Those women were phased out years ago......netcraft confirms it.

    By your argument, both straight women and gay men should excel at video games that make use of joysticks, and straight men and lesbians should be very adept with those stupid little nubbin keyboard mice things.

    Or vice versa for the straight people, depending on how much of the time they spend doing it themselves.

    Huh.....I always did like those nubbin keyboard mice things.

    They shouldn't be more impressed that I can do it with a uterus.

    It's not inpressive it's just novel.

    There aren't many people like you and until that changes you will continue to be a sideshow attraction.

    Well actually, Beast with a Billion Backs sucked, but the rest were pretty damn good. I thought Bender's Game was completely back on form for Futurama.

    that only puts you up against people who really are geeks/nerds/tech heads/etc and shows just how much fail you really are

    Yes, I've lost count of the number of people I've sent away crying by telling them they are NOT a geek.

    but I swear I'm a geek. Fantasy football still counts as fantasy.

    being good with money has nothing to do with gender. In fact, I would lean towards women being more fiscally responsible.

    So which is it? You can't have it both ways.
