  1. Nokia Confirms Symbian Is... on Nokia Confirms Symbian Is No Longer Open Source · · Score: 2

    ...dead.

  2. Re:No Facebook on The Facebook Obsession · · Score: 1

    I am one of the many people who don't have Facebook. None of my friends have it so there's no reason to subscribe.

    Get out of your cave much? If you don't Tweet, you don't exist.

  3. Re:Now compare on Osborne 1 vs. IPad 2 · · Score: 2

    The size of say, the spreadsheet program's binary files on both machines and ask yourself exactly how many of those "features" you actually use.

    The average "geek" can not realistically answer this question for the "average" business user. The facts are (good or bad) that most businesses of any significant size use Excel spreadsheets that include complex scripting macros and othe "advanced" features. Sure, in your mom's basement you don't need these features to track your WoW loot, but *real* businesses actually *do* use the advanced spreadsheet functionality.

  4. Re:Shocked. Simply SHOCKED. on Accidental Find May Lead To a Cure For Baldness · · Score: 1

    PETA should be made to understand that a cure for baldness is worth sacrificing a few mice for. It's right up there with curing erectile dysfunction in the importance stakes.

    Baldness is in the same ball park as erectile dysfunction? No, sorry, it's not.

    Baldness issues are vanity. Not even in the same galaxy as erectile dysfunction, which not only can prevent procreation but also cause serious emotional / relationship issues.

    If your woman can live with you because you don't have a full head of hair, all that means is you're carrying on with a superficial bitch who will leave you or cheat on you eventually anyway.

    Obviously you did not dissect the spelling of the summary...

  6. Shocked. Simply SHOCKED. on Accidental Find May Lead To a Cure For Baldness · · Score: 3, Funny

    PETA will have a field day with this one, what with causing artificial stress in the mice to the point where they start losing hair? Think of their self esteem, think of premature heart attacks and strokes...

  7. Mmmm... on Piracy Is a Market Failure — Not a Legal One · · Score: 1

    "Who knew!"

  8. Good FUCKING Grief. on Hackers Steal Kroger's Customer List · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this is something you can sue over.

    Yes, some lawyer will gin up a "class action" suite to address the irreparable harm that mom, dad, gramps, and Cletus have suffered as a result of the disclosure of their almost certainly widely available email addy - and the fact that grandpa regularly buys extra large lubricated Trojans. And as is standard practice, the lawyer will walk away with 10 or 15 million while the harmed parties will get a 50 cent off anything coupon.

    Yes, let's SUE! SUE! SUE! to address this heinous disregard for personal privacy of your disposable Hotmail account!

    Kruger is "The Man", FUCK The Man! Stick it to The Man! SUE! SUE! SUE!

  9. You Fail on Four Physicists Arrested After SSC Break-In · · Score: 1

    Nope. Not Christian.

    Neither am I, but that doesn't mean I'm a humorless negative party pooper.

  11. Re:I Hate on Four Physicists Arrested After SSC Break-In · · Score: 2

    Between my kids and Slashdot, the day is always ruined.

    I'll bet you're a load of fun around Christmas time, too.

  12. My experience with "self-patting" on TSA Mandates GA 'Self-Pat-Down' Program · · Score: 2

    The last time I "self-patted" myself at the airport, I ended up missing my flight and now I'm on some sort of "registry".

  14. Re:No, I have not read the story... on It's World Backup Day · · Score: 1

    Why, indeed. "Snarky blather" is what Slashdot is all about, innit?

    They did take the "News for Nerds" slogan off the banner...

  15. Re:No, I have not read the story... on It's World Backup Day · · Score: 1

    Yes indeed, why bother to read anything when you can assume that any cynical thing that pops into your head is correct.

    And why post anything useful when you can without much actual thought post useless but snarky blather?

  16. Re:No, I have not read the story... on It's World Backup Day · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't maintain a computer for your mom, dad, grandma, crazy aunt Judy, annoying cousin Steve, next door neighbor Bob...

    No, I certainly don't. Yes, I had to spend time in a 12-step program, but I'm better now. You too can get help for your problem. Some people care.

  17. No, I have not read the story... on It's World Backup Day · · Score: 1

    ...But things like this are typically pushed by company or "association" of companies with vested interests. I mean, let's be honest, who else besides backup software sales shills would benefit from promoting such a thing?

    Seriously, NOBODY has altruistic interests in people "backing up their data".

  18. Re:Missing proper filtering mechanisms on 50% of Tweets Consumed Come From .05% of Users · · Score: 1

    In some ways it's highly useful. I use it mainly to share links and some casual observations.

    ...Which no one gives a shit about.

    He's clearly still bitter about being pushed out of MS around the time he had the cancer...

    How old are you? 14? Can't you come up with anything new? You must be around 14 because that about the only age range that is still amused by Tub Girl.

  22. Re:$50 for your privacy on FCC Giving Away Wi-fi Routers For Broadband Tests · · Score: 3, Informative

    My privacy is worth much more then a crappy router that will accidentally send all my browsing information.

    So... What type of sites do you browse that you don't care for the feds to know about? Anime Tentacle Porn usually isn't illegal, you know...

  23. Re:These scans... on FBI Wants You To Solve Encrypted Notes From Murder · · Score: 1

    No, those scans are terrible. They barely fill a 3" x 4" area on my laptop monitor.

    Really? On my 22" monitor they are quite clear. I'll bet they look even worse on your iPhone/droid, yes?
