Can someone explain WTF "physisicts" are?

miscalclaion are liable

On: H&R Block Goofs on Its Own Taxes

The miscalculation on its state income taxes are liable by $32 million.

This shouldn't affect the profits then, since it's the miscalculation that has (or have - the number seems to vary even within the sentence) to pay, not the company.

Explain to me what editors do, again?

Cue a bunch of people saying how blogs are stupid and no one wants to read about boring details

patternjuggler (738978) is stupid and no one wants to read about boring details of his life, job, hobbies, whatever. That's assuming that the cuntwad 2.0 has any of the former.

In Soviet Russia, clairvoyance fails you!!!!

Hey, it's 24 hours a day, not every day. Just get plenty of rest leading up to it and treat yourself to a lie-in afterwards.

No. Politics are, grammatically, singular.

On: Finding a Needle in a Haystack of Data

Finding useful information in oceans of data is an increasingly complex problem in many scientific areas

It's even harder finding anything useful among your shit postings, Strawcock. Or rather anything useful and original.

Re:I have no doubt they'll cave

On: Open Source Accessibility

slashdot has a "type what you can see in the box" check for anonymous posting which is TOTALLY UNACCESSIBLE.

I agree, and it must be even worse for people with bad eyesight.

Re:and people defrauds it

On: Should Linux Have a Binary Kernel Driver Layer?

from TFLA: "I disagree about the "WHQL means jack all" comment - WHQL actually means a lot - at a minimum, it means that the user doesn't get the "This driver wasn't tested by Microsoft, if you install it, it's gonna crash your system." dialog that comes up on non WHQL signed binaries."

If that's not "jack all", then it's fuck all difference from bugger all.

Re:DUPE

On: Image Handling Flaw Puts Windows At Risk

Wait! Surely it's a false false alarm ... isn't that, like, a real alarm?

Times like this, you wish /. would use some other format for the posting date. Maybe one with the year in, for example. Sheesh.

Six digit ID is nothing to be ashamed of

On: Student-Made Satellite Goes Into Orbit

Seems to me there's a teeny difference between "helping to build" (or "involved in") and "designed by".

Shock horror. Slashdot headline bears no resemblance to underlying story. Coming later: water is wet, claims study.

P.S. Why don't you use your own ID, instead of your dad's?

how about a website that reads other sites and podcasts them automatically?

We *don't* need a government that has so much power it can decide something as basic as whether or not its citizens can breed.

Having seen some of your people, I think it's exactly what you do need.

On: Microsoft Sets Value Of Pirated Windows: $1

At least it's an original variation on it. It's as funny as it ever was. Er, wait...

P.S. Anybody else getting this bullshit:

Slashdot requires you to wait 2 minutes between each successful posting of a comment to allow everyone a fair chance at posting a comment.

It's been 5 minutes since you last successfully posted a comment

Last time I checked, 5 was more than 2. Perhaps it means you have to wait exactly 2 minutes.

On: Writing Down Passwords?

I use the names of people I've had sex with. Of course some might say that using the same password for everything isn't very secure. Others point out that it's a minor problem compared to using your own name as a password in the first place.
