  1. Re:Who still uses watches? on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    Actually, only one person was bashed in the head with a quartz crystal formation. After that, Sylar used telekinesis to get his prey.

  2. Re:It is a truly cake eating situation today on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    Because both aren't actually making things cheaper as they should but instead are bringing money to big corporations?

  3. Re:Who still uses watches? on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    Most people in school have classes that start and end at a specific time. Few schools allow you to have a computer in class.

  4. Re:Sylar on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    He didn't really develop his telekinetic powers so much as use them to steal everybody else's powers. I just hope that Eden actually shot herself and made her brain useless to Sylar.

  5. Re:It's too late to close the barn door on Red Hat CEO on Microsoft-Novell Deal · · Score: 1

    It's not a violation of the letter, but it's a violation of the spirit, and it will be a violation of the letter of GPL3(which is desperately needed despite what companies that want to exploit loopholes in GPLv2 and the Von Braun-like Linus Torvalds say). Oh, and Steve Ballmer has essentially pledged to sue non-Novell customers.

  6. Re:It's too late to close the barn door on Red Hat CEO on Microsoft-Novell Deal · · Score: 1

    It's not "an inkling of working together" when it violates the GPL.

  7. Re:Really? Interesting. on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, I don't care about Roland, I'm just pissed off by the whiners in EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ARTICLE. You see, it's one link. You can barely see it. But what you can see much more clearly is a bunch of self-righteous whiners. But apparently if I don't agree with your anti-Roland cult I'm an astroturfer.

  8. Re:21st Century anachronism on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    We would be if Pete Tyler hadn't died. Or am I getting them mixed up with the Cybermen?

  9. Re:When I was a kid in the early 60's on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 2, Funny

    He could have evolved into a 7 billion ton robot monster like you did.

  10. Re:And together with luxury... on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    No company is as bad as De Beers. Not even Philip Morris--their death toll is only in the thousands. De Beers, however, has a death toll in the millions for their funding of African wars through conflict diamonds. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

  11. Re:I thought this was a sex book about The Moties on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    Especially this watchmaker, except they're not so much rearranged as your brain is removed.

  12. Re:Roland isn't an Astroturfer. on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1

    I think that a personal enemy of Roland's is an astroturfer and spews this bile about him. I almost want to make a fucking temple to the guy because of these annoying posts.

  13. Re:I just have to observations on this story on Republican Aide Tries to Hire Hackers · · Score: 0

    Foley scandal. FOX called him a Democrat, even though he wasn't. My anecdote collides with yours and explodes much like a particle and its antiparticle. Except mine's a bit more potent because it involes an actual lie.

  14. Re:Playing Idiot's Advocate on Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection · · Score: 1

    There is an anti-Linux crowd. It mostly consists of Slashdot trolls and Scoble blog posters, though.
    Some people are beyond being able to educate, and can only be ridiculed. The type of person eno2001 is talking about is in that class.

    I want to see this colonel of truth!

  16. Re:Wow. on Judge Rules Against Deep-Linking of Content · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think you mean: "So Time Magazine should stop putting its magazines on the shelf because otherwise they can't stop you from linking to a Wikipedia article about that issue which has the cover on it."

  17. Re:Bad apps != Bad language. on Sun Releases First GPLed Java Source · · Score: 1

    I actually meant "like Lisp and Python" but I accidentially said "Java". Ah well, I don't need my mind today, it's break.

  18. Re:Bad apps != Bad language. on Sun Releases First GPLed Java Source · · Score: 1

    C++ is a bigger problem than Java. We should all switch to languages like Java and Python.

    No, Mathematics is better.

  20. Re:It's runners-up, not runner-ups. on Science's Breakthrough of the Year · · Score: 1

    I'd rather be hated then follow your advice on "how not to be hated". I think I'll correct grammar with a more snotty tone because of that. You didn't give me a life, so stop trying to show me how to live.

  21. Re:The bubble was never there. on Has the Desktop Linux Bubble Burst? · · Score: 1

    That's because it has, many times, all the way down to the use of the wrong angle bracket.

    He's still writing books. Actually I think when he "quit" he was actually writing names under a pseudonym.

    It's not so secret anymore, is it?

  24. Re:Operation Meat Hammer on Seventh Harry Potter Book Named · · Score: 1

    Both examples ended when they said they would. You prove my point. Also, the first book has always said "Year 1" on it.

  25. Re:Operation Meat Hammer on Seventh Harry Potter Book Named · · Score: 1, Redundant

    If I remember correctly Harry Potter was always going to be seven books.
