  1. Conclusive proof on Martian Microbe Fossils, Not So Debunked Anymore · · Score: 1

    Conclusive proof will be when we can grow the life in a lab repeatedly. All else is pure belief system driven.

  2. Re:Well, actually on Does Santa Hate Linux? · · Score: 1

    Nope, Linux users are Jewish.

  3. Re:$300 is not the real price on $300 Sci-Fi YouTube Video Lands $30m Movie Deal · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the labor cost (I saw 30+ extras), where they not paid?

  4. No biggie, Ubuntu on Malware Found Hidden In Screensaver On Gnome-Look · · Score: 1

    I'll not worry until Linux hackers attack Linux. A windoz hacker attacking Linux is a joke. Good luck with that.

  5. Hope he remembers on Microsoft Tries To Censor Bing Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Don't drop the soap, if you do, don't bend over to pick it up. Don't look people in the eyes, and plead no-contest.

  6. $699 on New Web-Based Netbook From Litl — Based On Clutter, Uncluttered · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For $699 I can get two eee 10" netbooks. Forget it!

  7. I was "hit", still happy though on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 1

    My X86_64 wouldn't boot up after install, after 2 days realized it was a simple comment out of the splash page in Grub. Openarena also won't run without crashing my system (wow!) but still, I love ubuntu! Never would I go back to windoz.

  8. First notes after installing on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Boot up seems slower, it hung on reboot at the close of the upgrade, but otherwise, looks and feels solid. GREAT JOB!

  9. Totally BS on Clean Smells Promote Ethical Behavior · · Score: 1

    So I would assume that hospitals smell good. The medical industry all smells good. So why is there so much corruption in that industry?

  10. Now thats a on Scientists Use Quake 2 To Study the Brains of Mice · · Score: 1

    real gaming mouse

  11. Thanks to Bush on Barack Obama Wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    After 8 years of pure hell, Obama should thank Bush for making him look so good.

  12. Re:Proof Congresscritters are Economically Dense on "Cash For Clunkers" Program Runs Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    Who does? You are implying that business does? Is that why we are in this mess? Hands off politics is plain stupid. Without government intervention, we would have soup lines right now. I say, let the rich now pay the taxes GW allowed them to get out of during his fiasco and learn from our mistakes!

  13. So what did they do? on Windows 7 Anti-Piracy Plans · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    "Williams gave the example of one piracy exploit that caused more than a million reported system crashes on machines running non-genuine Windows Vista before Microsoft was able to resolve it" I assume they formatted the disk and installed Ubuntu on the system.

  14. Re:RISUG on Reliable Male Contraceptive In the Works · · Score: 1

    "RISUG works by an injection into the vas deferens, the vessel through which the sperm moves before ejaculation." Just knock me out first....

  15. Re:Ubuntu is not up to scratch on Shuttleworth Says Ubuntu Can't Just Be Windows · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Time to start eating, paytard. I exclusively use Ubuntu, love it, and it's color scheme. Btw=> you can change the colors, paytard.

  16. No on Should the US Go Offensive In Cyberwarfare? · · Score: 1

    That would be illegal.

  17. Isn't this what they want? on Windows 7's Virtual XP Mode a Support Nightmare? · · Score: 1

    It goes with their "Do no good" ethics.

  18. Re:Still Brown on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Honestly, you do know that you can change the scheme, right?

  19. News? on World's Cheapest Car Goes On Sale In India · · Score: 1

    So am I to believe that before this car there was no "cheepest car" in the world?

  20. My opinion on Microsoft Considers "Instant On" Windows · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In all honesty, I love the multiple minutes it takes to bring up windows now. Instant on would be a detriment.

  21. Done on mythbusters-busted on Unbelievably Large Telescopes On the Moon? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Ok, do you scientists even watch tv? Mythbusters tried this with mercury and it didn't work. I guess having ideal circumstances on earth makes it wrong, doing on the moon would be much easier.

  22. Monopoly on Apple Bans iPhone App For Competing With Mail.app · · Score: 1

    This is why I won't buy an apple. Although superior to Windows products, their propriety nature and desire to control after purchase decisions makes me want to continue to buy open products which I can control what I do with it after I buy it.

  23. Come on now on The Cyber Crime Hall of Fame · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It should be "Hall of shame". These idiots cause more harm than most terrorists.

  24. You post this to Slashdot? on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    Per Wikipedia: Slaves are held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase, or birth, and are deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation (such as wages) in return for their labor. As such, slavery is one form of unfree labor. Uh, so how are they being held against their will? They have to work? No compensation?

  25. Simple response is yes on Apple After Jobs · · Score: 1

    There are many cases of companies thriving after the CEO left, ex: Ford, Disney, etc.
