  1. Re:I can see it now, Ballmer "Kill Google!" on Google Ant · · Score: 1

    No, Strong Bad is too cool to be Steve Ballmer. I'd go with the Blue Laser guy with the raspy voice. Something like this:

    Minion(Kai-Fu Lee): Sir, I'm leaving.
    Commander(Ballmer): For where?
    Minion: Google, sir.
    Commander: I'll "freaking"(The Brothers Chaps want H*R to be family-friendly, and they've talked about how hard it is to make Strong Sad not say "Oh, fuck this". Now back to your regularly scheduled program.) bury Google! I've done it before and I'll do it again!
    Minion: Sir, they've always beaten us.

    I'm no Brothers Chaps, and if the real Brothers Chaps did this, it'd be much better.

    No, that was A-A-Apple! that made the P-P-Powerbook!

    Having a baby with Joss Whedon would require either a female slashdotter or some weird artifical-womb method, and artificial wombs aren't out of beta(And I mean real beta, not Google beta), so I doubt it.

    Possibly, but it doesn't update anything third-party.

    And he'll replace all the ads with Google targeted text ads.

  7. Re:Is the torrent legal? on Star Wreck Released as Download · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, according to a post a few posts up, the movie is under a Creative Commons license, hence, it is legal.

  8. Re:Same thing, but perhaps more lyrically put... on Implementing the Bureaucratic Black Arts? · · Score: 1
    "mea culpa" very nearly translates to "my bad"
    It translates literally to "my fault"(IIRC), which in vernacular English is pretty much synonymous with "my bad".
  9. Re:Microsoft can kill Google any time they want to on Google's Patents Reveal Strategy To Beat Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Well, if MS put in the advert-blocking specifically to kill Google, it would be an antitrust violation.
    And again, if it was done to kill Google, it would be a PR nightmare.

    Your points have been disproven just about every time in every thread you've posted that copy-paste troll in. We need a new mod category, -1 Copy-Paste Troll.

  13. Re:sure on Blu-Ray Attacks Microsoft, Microsoft Bites Back · · Score: 1
    As Paul Graham said:
    Your teachers are always telling you to behave like adults. I wonder if they'd like it if you did. You may be loud and disorganized, but you're very docile compared to adults. If you actually started acting like adults, it would be just as if a bunch of adults had been transposed into your bodies. Imagine the reaction of an FBI agent or taxi driver or reporter to being told they had to ask permission to go the bathroom, and only one person could go at a time. To say nothing of the things you're taught. If a bunch of actual adults suddenly found themselves trapped in high school, the first thing they'd do is form a union and renegotiate all the rules with the administration.

    Give me something that isn't from a right-wing newspaper.
    The most corrupt thing in the UN is the US having a veto on everything the UN does. The UN would be much more effective if it didn't have those stupid vetoes.

    I really don't want the internet to become another great cockup of the least organized, least effective polital body that has ever existed.

    In other news, the "THIS IS A DUPE" whiners form a partnership with the /. editors--because the latter repeats itself less.
