  1. Re:SuSE != 'sue with an S on the end' on Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    No, zoo-zuh. Prevocalic S makes the /z/ sound in German.

  2. Novikov? on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sounds like the Novikov self-consistency principle to me.

  3. Re:Blogs: today's main Freedom Tool on Making Small Steps Against Censorship · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Obi-Wan never owned a droid? on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    So uncivilized...

  5. Re:What will? on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Because it's Microsoft.

  6. Re:Hmm on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1

    Woops, meant to reply to sibling of parent. Uncle, really. :P

  7. Re:Hmm on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1

    No, the correct response was: "Do they run on Linux?"

  8. Re:Hmm on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 5, Funny

    And in Korea, only old people do those things.

  9. Re:virtual crashes on Microsoft Plans Hypervisor for Longhorn · · Score: 1

    No, with Longhorn it's the Red Screen of Death.

  10. Re:Whiskey Tango Foxtrot on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) Released · · Score: 1

    The universe has been destroyed and replaced with something even more bizzarely inexplicable.

  11. Re:Coincidence??? on Self-wiring Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    The meta-meta-Turing test counts a thing as intelligent if it seeks to devise and apply meta-Turing and meta-meta-Turing tests to objects of its own creation. :P

  12. Re:Hah on Coming Soon, Roadcasting · · Score: 1

    I don't know, but it's probably an innuendo...

  13. Re:I Guess The Children Did Work on Terrorist Link to Copyright Piracy Alleged · · Score: 1

    What's in a name? Absolutely nothing. North Korea is the "People's Democratic Republic" of Korea, but does that make it one?

  14. Re:Javascript - blech on Mozilla Extending Javascript? · · Score: 1

    Python's syntactically significant whitespace, although nice, wouldn't fit well in tags. You'd have to only use external files. Although something like Greasemonkey with Python would be nice...

  15. Re:Well... on Is the x86 Architecture Less Secure? · · Score: 1

    I'm on AMD, which was immune to F00F, you insensitive clod!

  16. Re:600.000 times on Opera's CEO to Swim From Norway to the USA · · Score: 1

    No, I'm pretty sure grandparent was being sarcastic too.

  17. Re:Windows ONLY???? on Google Readies Platform for Video Distribution · · Score: 1

    Well, the most likely scenario is that they have more Windows programmers than Mac programmers. I'd say that the Mac version of said editor is on the way.

  18. Re:wait.. on Next Generation X11 · · Score: 1

    Wait... SCO sells products? I thought they just leeched money off of Microsoft and, in return, sued Linux...

  19. Re:Mr. Langa is a conversational terrorist on Pros and Cons of Firefox Critically Evaluated? · · Score: 1

    "Interesting sidenote: I hear this word "strawman" a lot lately from people (generally of a liberal ilk) who seem to be offended by the very conservative practice of "calling a spade a spade". This is the first time I've heard it applied to a non-political argument..." The "Strawman" is the logical fallacy of attacking an opponent's weaker points. Nothing to do with "calling a spade a spade". More like the liberals are annoyed by the conservative practice of not responding to the liberal's better points.

  20. Re:Maybe it's pg-13 for sexuality? Maybe... on Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13 · · Score: 1

    And if it bothers the religious groups in the u.s WHO CARES!!!!
    The religious groups in the US.
    And, unfortunately, the right-wing government.

  21. Re:Free thought is a challenge to authority! on EZTree Shuts Down · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you read it? Or understood it?
    I could ask the same of you.

    Orwell was afraid of, and loathed Communism - which seems to be the goal of the FOSS information wants to be free set.
    Orwell was afraid of, and loathed, Soviet Communism, also known as Stalinism. Orwell was a socialist himself. I think he would like the FOSS ideas.

    Orwell would think the average slashdotter is a douchebag with his head up his ass, and he'd be right to think so.
    Well, this may be true, but even in that case, I have three words for you. Pot, kettle, black.

  22. One more convert... on Japanese Govt Boosts OSS Developments · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Another convert to the array of corporations and governments supporting and using Linux. Soon, the only major corporations not supporting Linux will be Apple and Microsoft...

  23. Re:Oh My God! on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 1

    "Every time you make a joke about that picture, God kills a Clocky. THINK ABOUT THE CLOCKIES!"
    I just made a joke about that picture, didn't I?

  24. Re:I guess signing a Non Disclosure... on Apple Settles with Tiger Leaker · · Score: 1

    Homophonic != Homophobic

  25. Re:In other News! on Google Launches Google Code · · Score: 1

    > In other news, slashdot announces new moderation level. '-1 Only funny the first time you hear it' Which is what this post is.
