    Idiot-friendliness as opposed to actual usability is a bug and not a feature.

  2. Re:What hogwash on A New Kind of OS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can your GUI easily distinguish all files ending in .mp3 and then send them, in sequence(not in parallel), to a music player to play them?

  3. Re:I love it! on AOL 9.0 Called Badware · · Score: 1

    You've never seen Firefly, have you? It's a direct quote.

  4. Re:the correct saying is "*couldn't* care less" on New Alienware PC an Overpriced Underperformer · · Score: 1

    No, it's obviously American and therefore evil. That's the only possible answer because it is popular in the United States.

    Personally I think that if the Second Amendment were really made for overthrowing tyranny then treason wouldn't be a crime.

    You had blizzards? We had to make them out of every single particle of snow!

  13. Re:Africa is not a country.... on The Struggle of an African-language Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    No, I'm claiming that "an" implies that there are others. If there was only one it would be "the".

  14. Re:Africa is not a country.... on The Struggle of an African-language Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Not even the original submitter or Zonk are even saying that... it says "an African-language Wikipedia" which implies there's more than one.

  15. Re:Steal my lunch on Heroic IT Dept Less Likely to Steal... Lunches? · · Score: 1

    Actually, the extremist Christians like Fred Phelps have been found to beat their wives and kids. I have absolutely zero respect for Fred Phelps.

  20. Re:I blame monotheism on Iranian Heavy Water Nuke Plant Goes Online Today · · Score: 1

    The Abrahamic god may be a bit schizophrenic, but the Roman and Greek gods were pretty much personifications of the darker side of human nature.

  21. Re:Possible options on Iranian Heavy Water Nuke Plant Goes Online Today · · Score: 1

    It's not even a nuclear weapon, for crying out loud. It's a power plant.

  22. Re:Old Troll - OS X fanboism on OLPC Gets a New Name, New Features · · Score: 1
    Its almost like steve jobs pays him by the word.
    Nah, I think he gets personal pleasure out of being the Slashdot equivalent of "To be nonconformist, you must dress exactly like me". What's funny is that he used to have this link in his sig with the "the whole _point_ of slashdot is to have this big public wanking session" as the text to it to make it seem like a complaint, while ignoring "[ And don't get me wrong - I follow slashdot too, exactly because it's fun to see people argue. I'm not complaining ;]" which showed me what type of person he was: A deceptive asshole whose only purpose is to be irritating. In that way he's a lot like Ann Coulter.
