  4. Re:I presume... on Officials Sue Couple Who Removed Their Lawn · · Score: 1

    Maybe the city should mandate that 40% of a yard needs to be grass-free.

    Or maybe -and I realize I might just be getting a little too pie-in-the-sky here- just maybe the city shouldn't be mandating jack shit about the appearance of anyone's lawn.

  5. Re:Dear Submitting Slashdot Reader on Nintendo Wii To Get Netflix Streaming · · Score: 1

    It's a shame that perfectly good sense gets modded troll.

  6. Re:Know your enemy on UK Consumers To Pay For Online Piracy · · Score: 1

    It looks like you might have had something interesting to say.

    Too bad you lost me at the word "sheeple".

  7. Re:Just say no to FCC censorship on FCC Mulling More Control For Electronic Media · · Score: 1

    Then later the kid gets pregnant or knocks-up a girl at age 13, and they wonder how that happened. Duh. It's because they never TAUGHT the kid how their bodies work, that's why. I don't see any reason to withhold knowledge. Better they learn it from me under my supervision, then on their own or from someone else.

    But those 13-year-olds weren't a married man and woman. How on earth could they have possibly gotten pregnant?

  8. Re:And.... on Americans Don't Want Targeted Ads · · Score: 1

    That was written by Mark Driver. He's got a great style and I always love stumbling on his stuff here and there.
    "The Right Way to Beat Up a Girl" is brilliant.

  10. From TFA on 250-Foot Hybrid Airship To Spy Over Afghanistan · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Probably the most insightful thing I've read about this, courtesy of a little fellow named Hilo:

  13. Re:What do you bet... on Feds At DefCon Alarmed After RFIDs Scanned · · Score: 5, Funny

    I find it peculiar that they were willing to participate in criminal activity but could not bring themselves to spell the word "FUCKING".

  14. Re:Who cares about the humans on Ridley Scott Directing Alien Prequel · · Score: 1

    Amen. This ridiculous need to force Ripley into every story has got to stop.

  18. Re:And the blind? on Anti-Piracy Dog Uncovers Huge Cache of Discs · · Score: 1

    I believe that writing such a falsehood as if it were true makes you the troll.

  19. Re:Cool! on Creating a New Yorker Cover On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    I won't lie, it's been a couple years. And I can admit that I found it to be a bit drier than the average issue of Stuff or Mad. It's also more pretentious than most issues of Heavy Metal.

    However, I have seen magazines far more boring and pretentious. I figure with a 4-digit uid you'd probably have seen a bit more of the world. Maybe you saw the Python lads do the Holy Grail bit and thought humor could advance no further. Maybe you achieved a threesome and decided life could offer no richer reward. That's okay, man.

    I really was just writing to give you two better descriptions of arguing on the internet. But here we are, gesturing wildly.

    Good day to you, sir.

  20. Re:Cool! on Creating a New Yorker Cover On the iPhone · · Score: 0

    I always thought the one about the special olympics was more directly applicable.

    Or there's a personal favorite from Penny Arcade: No-one convinces anyone of anything, everybody just heaps their baggage on the table and gestures at it wildly.

    But go ahead and resort to baby talk because someone called you on the cultural savvy on display in your sig while you criticize a magazine for being too boring and pretentious.

    Also mailinator.

  22. What's going on here? on The Hidden Secrets of Online Quizzes · · Score: 0, Troll

    This question and the one a couple weeks ago about "I click on 'Remove me from this mailing list' and get even more spam" are the sorts of things I would think we all know about.

    Perhaps I should submit an Ask Slashdot about which way I can expect the pointer to move if I move my mouse to the right.

  23. Turner Says We Don't Need Another Hero on Schneier Says We Don't Need a Cybersecurity Czar · · Score: 1

    She said it many times. Loudly. With seashells on the sides of her head.
