  1. Re:Dear Slashdotter, on Unpleasant Surprises for Online Real Estate Buyers · · Score: -1

    I can picture someone like Al Pacino saying those lines!

  2. Re:good ol' zonky on Enzyme Computer Could Live Inside You · · Score: -1
    a special skill in itself that you must have (or someone you know or sucked up to).
    I think you're right about the sucking, but wrong about the up.
  3. Re:Bruce Perens' thoughts on the subject on MySQL's Response to Oracle's Moves · · Score: -1
    maybe they wanted an author with better street-cred on the subject?
    Clearly you're correct. I mean who the heck is this Bruce Perens guy anyway, and what has he ever done?

    Whereas take someone like Roland Piquepaille, he's a household name and infant geeks take in his achievements with their mothers' milk.

  4. The World's Fastest Image Processor on The World's Fastest Image Processor · · Score: -1

    27 gigapixcels per cubic litroid. Whatever. I bet it can't plagiarise articles as fast as a pencil-necked French twat can.

  5. employee on Cell Tracking on the Rise · · Score: -1
    with the recent advances in cell phone tracking tech more and more companies are using it to keep track of their employee's movements
    If you've only got one employee, it would surely be easier to just call and ask him/her?
  6. Re:Digg repost on RIAA Sues Woman Who Has Never Used a Computer · · Score: -1
    only two sources: Digg, and, of course, Roland Piquepaille...
    In other words, one source - Digg.
  7. Re:Hour Long Drama on Soap Opera for Luring Women to Tech is a Flop · · Score: -1
    The male/female ratio in college is now 44%/56%. Such numbers mean we need more pro-male programs, not more pro-female.
    Scary, especially when you consider how many of the males are just there to play $BALLGAME.
  8. Re:Educate, don't indoctrinate on Britons Unconvinced on Evolution · · Score: -1
    what kind of job can an illiterate person get in the modern world?
    Slashdot editor.
  9. somebody else on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: -1
    There is some Roland guy who's[sic] last name i[sic] can't spell who submits stuff all the time and people thought for awhile[sic] he was Timothy. Lately there is a Beatles Beatles user who conspiracy theorists now think is Scuttlemonkey. [...] 3 months from now it will be somebody else.
    I wish! Let's face it, statistically the chance is infinitesimal that someone else would totally suck more than the incumbent herd of pet fuckwads .
  10. Re:The Turing Test will always fail... on "St Lawrence of Google" · · Score: -1
    To pass the Turing test it just has to supply more plausible responses than a human would
    Or at least learn to spell "argument".
  11. Re:Thank Goodness For Government Regulations on US Draw Up Rules for Space Tourism · · Score: -1
    Thank goodness the Wright Brothers didn't have this government on their asses or there wouldn't even be airplanes now.
    I don't see the connection. Perhaps you're labouring under the misapprehension that it was them who made the first heavier than air flight?
  12. Re:Wait, who said on Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? · · Score: -1

    Well you sure as heck can't see the interview or the transcript of it that was linked from TFA.

  13. fuck of, Roland, fuck off! on Portable Brain Scanner to Save Premature Babies · · Score: -1
    Over the course of time, many of us here have read numerous postings insulting Roland.

    This being the season of goodwill, I think it's only fair to say: Roland, cut your cock off with an angle-grinder and choke on it. Huh? [sigh] Either. The important thing is just that you choke. Fatally.

  14. Re:I don't think it'll be cheap on First Cell Phone for Dogs · · Score: -1
    There's no such thing as a GPS transmitter. GPS modules are passive devices - they listen for satellite signals and work out their location by accurate timing measurments and comparisons.
    [foilHat.putOn()]That's what they want you to think. [foilHat.takeOff()]
  15. Dupe on First Cell Phone for Dogs · · Score: -1

    Not only is this a dupe, but it's lifted more or less verbatim from a press release. I saw the entire story a year ago in one of those crap newspapers you can pick up free at metro stations. I remember it because I was going to submit it here but someone beat me to it.

  16. Re:Favorites on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: -1
    I suggest you take it for what it is, an entertainment show rather than scientists in a lab working for a university.
    If Zonk says it's science, that's good enough for me, and it ought to be good enough for you too.
  17. Re:Hmm on Brit TV Won't Go Digital Till 2012 · · Score: -1

    Well, on radio your tone of voice would have come through so we would have seen (heard - Ed) that you were being sarcastic. Unless you're from the opposite side of the Atlantic, when you sound sarcastic when you aren't, and don't when you are. Or the other way round. Something like that, anyway.

  18. Re:What Does Brit TV Have to Do With Politics?!! on Brit TV Won't Go Digital Till 2012 · · Score: -1
    "The Slashdot FAQ states that the Politics section was for stories related the US government."

    They should create a new section: News for people who know that other countries exist - stuff for non-Americans.

    P.S. Am I the only one who thinks Zonk is a total waste of oxygen?

  19. Julie Hanna Farris on Why Microsoft and Google are Cleaning Up With AJAX · · Score: -1

    Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Jeff Goldblum?

  20. Re:A God Has Fallen? on Blu-Ray The Flavour of The Moment · · Score: -1
    want's
    Wor'st apostrophe ever! Runner up, anyway.
  21. Re:ehhh.... on Commission Suggests UK Should End Astronaut Ban · · Score: -1

    Are you saying the /. headline is misleading ... possibly even wrong?

  22. Another crap headline on Transparent Aluminum a Reality · · Score: -1
    aluminum oxynitride

    If that's the same as aluminum (I guess it's standard journalistic practice to assume that words they don't understand are just there for decoration) then why don't they make kettles out of copper sulphate, or frying pans out of iron oxide?
  23. Re:Chapter 11 is another option. on Should RISC OS be Open Sourced? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm kinda intrigued by this concept of places that aren't in the USA ... do you have, like, a newsletter or something I could sign up to?

  24. Who is this "shithole spunky" 'tard? on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: -1
    via it's OnStar system
    That's short for "via it is Onstar system", which doesn't make any sense at all. Momuru is an illiterate fuckwad, and it looks like Zonk has a new pseudonym.
  25. Re:Its both! on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: -1

    Hey look, it's slashdot - chances are the person who wrote the headline couldn't spell it either!!!
