  1. Re:just like elephants on Wikipedia Used To Spread Virus · · Score: 1

    Thank you for reminding us of an example of how problems on Wikipedia are quickly fixed. :)

  2. Re:Don't worry on Wikipedia Used To Spread Virus · · Score: 1

    You're making an assumption about the gender of the poster. It could be a lesbian.

  3. Re:10 years later on UK Has Become a "Surveillance Society" · · Score: 1

    Another 10 years:
    YOU ARE INCOMPATIBLE. YOU WILL BE DELETED.
    The lameness filter is INCOMPATIBLE.

  4. Re:Different countries has different situations on Auto Install of IE 7 Delayed In Japan · · Score: 1

    Office 2000 may be better than OpenOffice. But Office 2003 is such crap that OpenOffice easily beats it. Actually, I think 2000 is pretty much the best release of all Microsoft's stuff.

  5. Re:Two airplanes hit by lightning... on Bruce Schneier On Perceived and Real Risks · · Score: 1

    The number of people who died in the 9/11 accident is very close to the number who die of natural causes in a range of thirty minutes.

  6. Re:Tuesday on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1

    A Democratic Congress won't magically make things better but a balance of power between the two parties keeps them from causing any major damage.

  7. Re:Exact phrasing on Hitch-Hackers Guide To the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    Actually, at that point he ran out of Scrabble tiles, so there could be more to the question. I think it's "WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU MULTIPLY SIX BY NINE WITH BISTROMATHICS" and this changed the universe into one involving Bistromathics.

  8. Re:OMG: I'm a "liberal" on Congressmen Rated On Tech-Friendliness · · Score: 1
    Personally... I am about as left wing liberal as they come. However, I have no problem with the old conservatives. I mean shit, the venerable Goldwater critized the exclusion of gays from the military saying "Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar.". William F Buckley Jr wrote an article on why marijuana should be legalized!
    Goldwater's statement is slightly inaccurate:Sparta came before Caesar. And yes, the old conservatives, although I disagree with them on several issues, are mostly respectable people with a decent understanding of logic. There are very few people in modern politics about whom you can say that.
  9. Re:Top 10 Games Non-Stories on Slashdot on Some of the Best Game Levels of All Time · · Score: 1

    I prefer the "Top N" lists to the constant Sonybashing that seems to go on in the rest of the "Games" threads.

  10. Re:Updated Score on Demo Virus For Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you're not talking about rootkits?

  11. Re:This is on the front page of slashdot why? on Demo Virus For Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1
    Plus it's easier to pronounce.
    I find "Viruses" much easier to pronounce than "Virii". For one thing, the two "i"s are seperate vowels. Vye-ree-ee. Vye-rus-es. In addition, "Viruses" makes you look less like a script kiddie.
  12. Re:Getting Worse Than Digg.com on Some of the Best Game Levels of All Time · · Score: 1

    No. Say what you will about Zonk but he doesn't make news posts like this.

  13. Re:Government? on YouTube Finds Signing Rights Deals Frustrating · · Score: 1

    Most of the little guys have already signed their rights away to Universal, Sony, etc. Those are the ones YouTube is working with now.

  14. Re:How Did Karl Rove Do It? on Ask a "Star" of HBO's Voting Machine Documentary · · Score: 1

    Wow, I knew there was fraud, but I didn't know it was that bad. I'd like a link for that.

  15. Re:I believe in people on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, it's not being a Slashdotter that keeps you from having a girlfriend.

  16. Re:Spun in favor of the XBox? on Beware the Message of Adverblogging · · Score: 1

    Well, if it makes you feel any better, I always thought of political spin when I saw your nick.

  17. Re:Help me Sam and Max, you're my only hope... on Sam and Max - Culture Shock Review · · Score: 1

    I haven't heard about anything past episode three. I think they're ending it then and going on to HL4 or something.

  18. Re:Still way ahead of you! :) on Viral Fossil Brought Back To Life · · Score: 1
    My advice is that you shouldn't go out of your way to see it, though...
    For reasons that are obvious when you realize what the majority of "Sci-Fi Channel Original Movies" are.
  19. Re:Andromeda strain on Viral Fossil Brought Back To Life · · Score: 1

    Well, if you consider the Ancients aliens, that's how it can be alien. :)

  20. Re:Why not just get rid of touchscreens entirely? on Diebold Demands That HBO Cancel Documentary · · Score: 1

    Because a computer-based system can have a cryptographic signature. If humans are the only element in the equation then this is impossible.

  21. Re:Thanks Diebold! on Diebold Demands That HBO Cancel Documentary · · Score: 1

    Ballot-box stuffing? It's easier to fake a ballot that's only human-readable than one with a cryptographic signature.

  22. Re:Solves all your IE7 problems on Helpful Stuff For IE7? · · Score: 1

    Only if by "solve" you mean "create five times as many as with Firefox" :)

    As sibling poster has already pointed out, americium is also a radioactive material.

  24. Re:Joke's on them! on Forgent Settles JPEG Patent Cases · · Score: 1

    I don't think uranium is that radioactive. I live in a house with a SMOKE DETECTOR OMGWTFBBQ!

    And as for FauxH^H^H^H^ Fox, well we all know what has happened to them.
