  1. George Lucas is an wold-class asshole on Imperial Storm Troopers Skirmish in Latest IP Battle · · Score: 1

    but so are people who dress like stormtroopers for fun. Closet fascists every one.

  2. what they can't keep updating PROMIS? on Clandestine Operations at Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    well maybe our tax dollars will finally buy a system that works for a change. there's no more PROMIS's out there to steal, so gotta pay for new development I guess.

  3. oh please on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    if the average PC buyer could be bothered to know half as much about the computer they're buying as they do about a car they'd like to buy, they'd know that integrated graphics from intel is worthless for gaming. People are getting ripped off frankly. I've built a $850 PC with a later days single core AMD 64 CPU and a nvidia 7900 gs that can handle most of the latest games just fine at 1600*1200. The problem is people thinking they have to have $2000 machines to game on. you just don't.

  4. grow your own thru training! on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    believe me , nothing your business is doing is so god-damned special that it takes a "superstar" to accomplish. Just find some people with some programing background and give them the opportunity to learn and grow. Anyway, the person asking of this question, if _they_ were a "superstar" HR person/manager, would already know the answer. Since the company can get by with plain old average HR/management I think it can live with average normal programmers as well.

  5. take these assholes money away from them on Gates Foundation Vs. Openness In Research · · Score: 1

    they can't play nice so they don't get to keep it.

  7. people looking @ ubuntu are not seeing linux on Is Linus Torvalds Speaking for Linux Anymore? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the OS isn't seen by them, they're looking at applications running on top of the OS. User interface isn't the same thing as OS.

  8. Archbishop of Canterbury and sharia on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Something good to know... he's not talking about legalizing stoning or hand chopping, etc. and lookie here... seems some other religions already have their own operation system for handling civil court matters. === While religious leaders in the UK's Jewish and Muslim communities have not sought to enforce their own versions of criminal law, they have steadily built up their capacity to deal with civil matters within their own religious codes. What's more, they are doing it with the help of English law. The Beth Din is the most formally entrenched of these minority courts. The UK's main Beth Din is based in Finchley, north London. It oversees a wide range of cases including divorce settlements, contractual rows between traders and tenancy disputes. The court cannot force anyone to come within its jurisdiction. But once someone agrees to settle a dispute in the Beth Din, he or she is bound in English law to abide by the court's decision. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6190080.stm

  9. job safety for RIAA exec on Install Copyright Filters on PCs, Says RIAA Boss · · Score: 2, Insightful

    this is total BS. just a worthless executive filling the people who pay his wage with a load of nonsense so they'll keep paying. stop funding RIAA now and the companies would save a hell of a lot of money.

  10. getting real old on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ya know I'm just about sick of trying to give a shit about Muslim feelings. they of all people should realize that the profit's image can only be there if Allah wills it to be so, and if He's fine with it, they might as well shut up too.

  11. Re:Why so many undersea cables going to Alaska? on How One Clumsy Ship Caused A Major Net Outtage · · Score: 1

    it's a landfall point for undersea cables to become land-based cables isn't it?

  12. message to u on Colleges Being Remade Into "Repress U"? · · Score: 1

    that is the most offensive thing I've read all day. thousands of people starved to death or died in the depression. every program the government started under FDR involved people WORKing to earn some money because the capitalist asses had no job on offer. So people had work, because FDR made it available. Try learning some fucking history instead of being fed right-wing fascist ideology all fucking day you god damned moron.

  13. it's working fine for me on FCC To investigate Comcast Bittorrent Meddling · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not seeing any torrent problems. there was a blip when this all flared up for a few days seemed like I couldn't seed, but I'm able to seed and receive now. In fact, reception speed seems higher than ever. Would like to see if this is still happening or was an isolated regional issue, or what the heck? am I being given the rope to hang myself? What's going on?

  14. it's already 10 years dead AFAIK on Startrek.com Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    enterprise, while I feel sorry for the actors, who tried, was not star trek. Voyages was BS, the last REAL Star Trek was Deep Space 9. CBS has decided they hate star trek fans. Look at that worthless piece of garbage they put out called star trek legacy. the devs and green-lighters on that project should be beamed into open space. They openly say, "we don't want to develop this for star trek fans, it's got to targeted to the lowest common denominator" = this is a completely retarded business decision that has effectively killed the franchise going on the last 10 years. Just imagine any other property being treated like this... "we're not going to make this football program for football fans..." yeah right, that'd really work. Well, this is the brain-dead attitude of the corporate retards who have done their best to ruin star trek. Frankly I'm sick of it and they can just go to hell, they're not getting one thin dime out of me, I'm rather going to do my best to help them loose the trademark and force the whole deal into the public domain. they've utterly failed and they've been leaching off this fan base for decades. it's over!

  16. people will be switching for another couple years on Google's OpenSocial Too Late To Be a Win? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    consolidation and settling in haven't started yet, google has plenty of time, if they come out with good stuff, it'll peel people away from the others no problem. Also, there's still a lot of people who haven't wadded in to the whole thing yet...

  19. Don Dodge knows what 50 million people care about? on Redmond's Heavy Guns Go After OpenSocial · · Score: 1

    calling this 50 million 'developers' is a bit of a joke too. you might as well call me a slashdot developer since I was able to post this message.

  20. rotodyne is the answer for v22 replacement... on Another Look at 1930's Cyclogyro Plane Design · · Score: 1

    the fairy rotodyne was a much better design, and in the mid 50s had remarkable decent preformace metrics compared with today's v22. With modern technology the basic design should be able to surpass the v22. Why this wasn't done is anyones guess. My bet: a "jets are cool propellers are old attitude."

  21. BLACKLIST THE PEOPLE WHO PROGRAM THIS on US-Made Censorware Used To Oppress Burma · · Score: 1

    and any companies that make it. There's no reason why people developing this shit should just walk away with a nice pay check. Shame them for life.

  25. what I WILL do to protect myself... on GoogHOle Exploits GMail, Picasa and 200K Other Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    nothing. relax and wait for google to fix the problem, as they surely will. Everything has some vulnerabilities, but the odds of them targeting me out of millions of people is very low. so low it's not a risk I feel any need to worry about. The endless "security" mantra is bullshit, mostly used to whip clueless consumers into making various moves from or to some product. Really it's an iterative process, an arms race if you will. Anything can happen. your office or home can be broken into very easily too ya know. So what? If you're really so fucking concerned about your precious pictures being access through picasa, maybe you should just learn to burn them to a cd and mail them to people.
