  1. Re:Someone please tell Facebook that on Facebook Wants You To Snitch On Friends Not Using Their Real Name · · Score: 2

    A hippie?

  2. Re:Not too sure on this on Insurer Measures Driver Safety With Smartphone App To Calculate Premiums · · Score: 1

    I'm not too sure either.

    I can't help but think of the time I was in Vegas at a blackjack table. The gal next to me was asking the dealer what this "Insurance" thing was written on the table. He answered, "Well, if it's advertised on the table, by the casino, do you think it's good for you, or good for them?"

  3. Re:There's nothing "ingenious" about this... on Validating Voters For Open Source Governance, In Person · · Score: 1

    People not voting is the symptom, not the problem.

    To want voting be more like American Idol than Local DMV is closer to the problem, but still only a symptom.

  4. Re:Five million acres on US Is Finally Cleaning Up Agent Orange In Vietnam · · Score: 2

    Do the trees know the difference?

  5. Confirmed... on The Leap Second Is Here! Are Your Systems Ready? · · Score: 1

  6. Re:Love the spam on Researcher: Interdependencies Could Lead To Cloud 'Meltdowns' · · Score: -1, Troll

    All the spam == C-Student Shill drunk on Jim Beam

    Almost 78 months ago, student loans were a bitch!

  7. Re:Caching on Apple, Google: Battle of the Cloud Maps · · Score: 1

    You really get unlimited cached tiles? Have you tried going past 10? Wonder why I have a limit of 10...

  8. Re:Not all functionality has to be built-in on Apple, Google: Battle of the Cloud Maps · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you can cache as many tiles as you want? I just tried and reached a limit of 10.

  9. Re:If you on Pakistan Blocks Twitter Over 'Blasphemous' Images · · Score: 1

    The difference in degree is what matters. Call whatever government you want a theocracy, but the one that kills you for blasphemy in much worse than the ones that don't.

    To your retort: yah, how many christians would threaten you, and how many would follow up? So we've got two abortion doctors shot in the U.S. versus the entire country of Iran homosexual free, at least according to one of it's leaders.

  10. If you on Pakistan Blocks Twitter Over 'Blasphemous' Images · · Score: 1

    can't see the difference in degree then you're blind.

  11. It is on Pakistan Blocks Twitter Over 'Blasphemous' Images · · Score: 1

    the specific religion that matters. Go ahead, draw Jesus having sex with little kids in your cartoon. Now do the same with Muhammad. Now sees who threatens you and how much you believe those threats. You ignore reality to make a pointless distinction. Go ahead...wide brush.

  12. if Blizzard shuts down servers on Diablo III Released · · Score: 1

    you mean, like how they're down right now and I can't play the game that I paid $60 bucks for. I buy about one game/year. So far this gaming year sucks. I can understand a release day rush, but if this happens again after this week I'm for sure never ever buying a single player game that depends on remote servers.

    I'm old enough to know better. I feel stupid. I feel ashamed. I need to see my therapist...

  13. Skepticism... on NASA's Hansen Calls Out Obama On Climate Change · · Score: 1

    is looking at the predictions made by climate scientists and the honesty to remark when those predictions fail. Predictions are either accurate or not.

  14. Except... on Bitcoinica Breach Nets Hackers $87,000 In Bitcoins · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure you could categorize bitcoin users as "people that don't know computers". Your argument could be used to shut down Vegas. Maybe Gambling Permits are in order?

  15. So... on Bill Banning Employer Facebook Snooping Introduced In Congress · · Score: 1

    should == we need a law huh?

    Where do we draw the line: that companies can't call so and so about your past, can't look here, can't look there? If you're putting personal info where every single person in the world can view it, then why should that info be off limits to potential employers? I know I know, accessing said info and requesting id/pwd is the line, right?

  16. Actually... on Human Rights Groups Push To Save Condemned Programmer In Iran · · Score: 1

    hate is the opiate of the masses. Easy on those doses...

  17. Ok ok...I'll tell you! on Boiling Down the Meaning of Life · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Undeniably, however, most of them do have a point, one or another or several, and common sense suggests that, probably, one could arrive to a consensus, if only the authors, some two centuries apart from one another, could be brought together."

    Forget water boarding: just use that sentence.

  18. Mod Up on Holo Theme Is Now Mandatory For Android Devices · · Score: 1

    The stink coming from Bonch doesn't originate from his t-shirt.

  19. Umm... on Ask Slashdot: Best Kit For a Home Media Server? · · Score: 1

    the several months old Sony Blu-Ray player I have plays them just fine. Sorry, don't feel like pulling it out to check the model.

  20. Re:Less US control on US Gov't Seizes 130+ More Domains In Crackdown · · Score: 1

    So two wrongs make one right. Got it.

  21. Re:Read better on Why Computer Voices Are Mostly Female · · Score: 2

    So you're like the others here, and prefer James Earl Jones...

  22. Re:Read better on Why Computer Voices Are Mostly Female · · Score: 1

    Very interesting theory. As someone who only occasionally hears a computer generated voice each week, I definitely prefer it to be female. And I prefer her to be tenor/alto, not soprano.

  23. Re:Genius. on Right-Wing German Extremists Tricked By Trojan Shirts · · Score: 1

    "none of them are inherently wrong"

    Is that true, in an absolute way?

  24. Re:No seatbelt on Analog Designer Bob Pease Dies In Car Crash · · Score: 1

    Some '68 Beetles had IRS, and all '69 Beetles had it.

    My '64 and '67 were extra fun when one of the rear wheels left the ground. More dangerous than swing axles on Bugs were the Lilliputian brake drums.

  25. Huge Difference... on Doom Ported To the Web · · Score: 1

    Confirmed. Just upgraded the work computer here: Firefox 3.6 to 4.0. On a Pentium dual 2140. Went from 4 fps to 33 fps.

    Probably wont get much work done today...
