  1. PLEASE JUST LET THAT SONG DIE on Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? · · Score: 1

    It's already been posted on this thread. It's the most annoying song ever invented, even pushing out the stuff Britney fucking Spears created. I can deal with the average Slashdot meme but that song needs to be beaten into the ground and killed. Avenue Q is fairly funny in general but that song needs to be thrown into the fucking Memory Hole. Forgotten, and never remembered again.

  2. Re:A shame... on Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? · · Score: 1

    Hell, BSG is probably popular because of piracy. I think Ron Moore even said something to that effect once.

  3. Re:The Internet is for Porn! on Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    May I please note that that is the most annoying song ever invented. Their racism song was funny but "The Internet is for Porn" is the most annoying crap on the internet. "Why do you think the internet was born?" MILITARY AND UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATION, DUMBASS! NOT PORN!

  4. Re:yay, another company who's CEO's rob shareholde on Apple Execs Reportedly Faked Options Documents · · Score: 1

    Applauding Bush's Justice Dept for investigating is like applauding me for pooping after consuming coffee and a bran muffin. That line radiates awesome.

    It's "Don't be evil". And that's not Apple, that's Google.

    Stargate SG-1. Look up the Goa'uld for more information.

    The ACLU...one of the last few bastions of freedom in this world...

  8. Re:2GB? on MS Fights Gmail With 2-GB Exchange Mailboxes · · Score: 1

    Sorry, nope, incorrect information rarely comes back in Wikipedia as well as the editors are very vigilant. Although I guess you only believe something if it comes from Big People with Lots of Money.
    A more accurate metaphor would be "Wikipedia is to Britannica as the internet is to a high school library"

  9. Re:Social Networking is a dangerous idea on Social Network Users Have Ruined Their Privacy · · Score: 1

    I actually like the way Your Rights Online pages look. But MySpace pages make my eyes scream and beg for mercy.

  10. Re:Social Networking is a dangerous idea on Social Network Users Have Ruined Their Privacy · · Score: 1

    I was talking more along the lines of physical damage to eyes.

  11. Re:Behave on Social Network Users Have Ruined Their Privacy · · Score: 1

    Internet is much more like a big mall. But it's not a big truck.
  12. Re:Change Your Name on Social Network Users Have Ruined Their Privacy · · Score: 1

    He could be any of these.

  13. Re:Social Networking is a dangerous idea on Social Network Users Have Ruined Their Privacy · · Score: 1

    Just about everybody on MySpace is damaged by the horrible color sense of the average MySpace page.

  14. Re:Any idea...? on The Well-Tempered Debian desktop · · Score: 1

    That analogy only holds if turning Car UX's steering wheel causes the wheels to turn in the opposite direction from the usual when the car is in reverse as "familiar" interfaces in Linux are actually just similar enough to fuck with your muscle memory.

  15. Re:Any idea...? on The Well-Tempered Debian desktop · · Score: 1

    As somebody who prefers Linux but has to use Windows for certain things, let me tell you that consistency between interfaces is a bad thing. Having it be just a liiiiiiiittle bit different fucks with your muscle memory.

  16. Re:The MIL-STD drop test is in the shipping box on Durabook Laptop Marketing Claims 'Destroyed' · · Score: 1
  17. Re:OT: There is no "apartheid" in Palestine on Durabook Laptop Marketing Claims 'Destroyed' · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Apartheid. The Dutch word for apartness. What is the wall for if not apartness?

  18. Re:It's been said here before. on 10 Web Operating Systems Reviewed · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Of course, you're ignoring the fact that nobody wants to run emacs. Emacs reversed is scamE. Do you want to run a scam(E) on your computer? I DIDN'T THINK SO!

  19. Re:Patented Breast Cancer Genes? on Nobel Laureate Attacks Medical Intellectual Property · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because in the United States corporations with lobbyists get the spoils.

  20. Re:exotic meats on Japanese Robot Awards 2006 Announced · · Score: 1

    They essentially own the land as their own nation.

  21. Re:Zonk, what the hell were you thinking? on A Look Back at the Year in Games · · Score: 1

    Are you telling me that superheroes and spelling Naziism aren't geeky?

  22. Re:Wiki wiki wiki wiki, shut up. on The Physics of Santa · · Score: 1

    How the hell are gay people fairies? And alien doesn't mean an American who went up on a Russian ship but a person with permanent residence in a country who isn't a citizen of said country. And "space alien" doesn't mean one of those in a Soyuz or Shuttle but an alien from space. Aside from that and your omission of the Easter Bunny, that list is fine.

  23. Re:Ridiculous... on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 1
    Wikipedia agrees with both of us.
    The TARDIS also grants its passengers the ability to understand and speak other languages. This was previously described in The Masque of Mandragora (1976) as a "Time Lord gift" which the Doctor shared with his companions, but was ultimately attributed to the TARDIS's telepathic field in The End of the World (2005).
  24. Re:If this is possible on The Physics of Santa · · Score: 1

    Shakespeare's stories were full of cliches too--every single one of them ripped off from either ancient Greek or Roman poems(Romeo and Juliet = extended Pyramus and Thisbe) or then-extant English poems(Hamlet, for example). But really, the only really interesting thing about the Jesus story is that the sort of people who would be Republicans today really hated him and got him killed.

    Actually, for personal use, DeCSS is allowed in the US too.
