  1. There's a joke here somehwere on German Court Finds Apple's 'Slide To Unlock' Patent Invalid · · Score: 1

    How many bytes can you take out of an Apple?

  2. I ain't paying on Mozilla Introduces Experimental Open Payment System For Firefox OS · · Score: 1

    anything for stuff that wants "acces to your private date", "access to
    your harddrive", "access to the network" that I haven't got the source
    code for.

  3. Got a great tip here on Judge Denies Class Action Status In Tech Workers' Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Next time, vote independent or socialist.

  4. Re:Great test case on French Intelligence Agency Forces Removal of Wikipedia Entry · · Score: 1

    It's never ceased to amaze me how with a set of eyeballs and maybe
    ibid binoculars you can to a high degree determine the goings on on
    military intallations. All the while being under a regime 'you're not to
    know, not to publish'.

    The military and intel are indeed 'dumb' and mindless institutions,
    operating on reflexes sooner than rational human thought. Actually
    that''s not a bug, it's a feature. The feature though becomes useless
    where there's interaction with society. Like here.

  5. Re:Locks keep out honest people... on Why Laws Won't Save Banks From DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    So today, in class, you guys 'n gals studied 'positive peace' and
    'negative peace'?

    Sigh -- if your only tool is a hammer etc.

  6. I hope these schmucks die in a celluloid flare up.
    I almost wrecked my speakers on that dumb fuck
    insane audio level.

  7. Re:This was a pointless fork... Gnome 3 has mature on GNOME2 Fork MATE Desktop 1.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

    And 'death of the PC' -- wouldn't that in its wake
    automatiaslly bring about the death of ... smartphone,
    tablet, embedded, you name it??

    After all ... let me rephrase that -- does anybody know
    of anyone doing coding, software development, app-
    writing, whatever you want to call it, doing coding on
    a .... tablet!!??

  8. Re:Stupid fucking slashdot janitors on Virgin Launches Glass-Bottomed Plane · · Score: 1

    Agreed.
    Kindergarten.

  9. Today is the lamest day experienced on /. ever on Virgin Launches Glass-Bottomed Plane · · Score: 1

    Totally useless.

    Anyone here thinks registered users should have a say
    in how much non-humor can be tolerated?

  10. It's a good thing Ulrich Drepper on Systemd Ditches GNU C Library for Their Own · · Score: 1

    never implemented rot13.

  11. Re:My answer on Fighting TSA Harassment of Disabled Travelers · · Score: 0

    Amsterdam / Schiphol! What a laugh!
    Don't you know they're the most horrible low-lifes that you
    might think of -- kiss-up to American asses out of free will?
    In that regard, indeed you might find an airport or two in the
    US that's less worse, but it's a silly comparison.

  12. Your answer will be slanted on A Sea Story: the Wreck of the Replica HMS Bounty · · Score: 2

    Any sailors care to weigh in on this?

    You do realize that those that can't, probably have their
    remains scattered upon the sea floor, don't you?

  13. Subordination on A Sea Story: the Wreck of the Replica HMS Bounty · · Score: 1

    Might have saved lives.
    Then again, we have to have subordinates -- I mean, ... don't we?

  14. Let them develop their own on Making Robots Mimic the Human Hand · · Score: 1

    Give them a small unique trait or feature, a camera, a mirror
    and lots of competition.

  15. Cyberwar on North Korea Declares a State of War · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can see prices of Android tablets skyrocketing.
    Apple must be behind all this.

  16. Re:I use gmail on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Archive and Access Ancient Emails? · · Score: 1

    Except the gmail server and the ISP server might be located in
    different places.

  17. Eye Candy!!! on Wayland/Weston Gets Forked As Northfield/Norwood · · Score: 0

    X never bothered with that since it's got nothing whatsoever todo
    with a display server.

    These guys, whether Woeland, Murk, or Backwood, have got their ego's
    where their heads uses to be, and the latter,... - well you know where.

    ROTFL.

    Sent from my X11 display server.

  18. The Jevons Paradox on Internet's Energy Needs Growing Faster Than Efficiency Gains · · Score: 1

    ... ensures we're all doomed anyway.
    Yeah!

  19. Why is this big news? on Enlightenment Terminal Allows Video Playback, PDF Viewing · · Score: 1

    After all, playing video and displaying pdf's have been
    solved problems for decades.

    What does it matter what 'shell' program is built around
    such functionality?

    I am sympathetic towards Enlightenment, but this I don't
    get. And by the way, doesn't this run in the face of the old
    UNIX adagium 'modularity'?

  20. John Bull-shit on UK Privacy Watchdog: 'Right To Be Forgotten' On the Web Unworkable · · Score: 0

    The Orwellian State (i.e. the UK these days) is totally inept to answer this question.

  21. Try to patent this phenotype: on You Don't 'Own' Your Own Genes · · Score: 1

    The extended middle finger.

  22. criminality ia social construct on Brain Scans Predict Which Criminals Are More Likely To Re-offend · · Score: 1

    The one thing that society badly needs, is more white collar workers,
    such as bankers, convicted as criminals, where society pays for their
    transgressions.

    Up till then, research such as this is class warfare.

  23. It's all in your mind on Direct-to-Vinyl Recording Makes a Comeback (Video) · · Score: 1

    Hearing the difference between 128 and 164 kbit/s, between Vinyl and
    CD, between Klipsch speakers and B&W speakers -- it's all in you mind.

    To NOT know is to enjoy unimpeded. So yes, give me vinyl; just don't
    tell me.

  24. tilt-1.22.tar.gz on Book Review: A Practical Guide To Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming · · Score: 1
  25. Re:Speaking of command lines... on Book Review: A Practical Guide To Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming · · Score: 1

    I have a command line utility for this, called tilt (maybe a google
    for tilt-1.0.tar.gz or tilt-1.0.tar.gz still works?).

    The itch it scratched was that I needed it at the time I was creating
    crossword puzzles and needed the ability to rotate a diagram in
    order to easily create the descriptions for vertical.

    If you can't find it, lemme know.
