  1. Re:Older Hardware on Debian Release Mgr. Proposes Dropping Some Archs · · Score: 3, Funny

    "So the question becomes, who will bother supporting non-mainstream hardware? They are still functional machines for me..."

    Sweet christ...move out of mom's basement and learn what it is like to kiss a girl. There is ZERO reason to keep these ancient systems running. Recycle the things or donate them to a museum.

  2. Oh Joy! on Katsuhiro Otomo's Steamboy in Theaters · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Another film full of doe-eyed characters with exclamation point hovering over their heads to express alarm and exaggerated sweat droplets popping out everywhere to show fear? Pass.

  3. Re:Wow, who uses this? on Google Adds Features and Plugin to Desktop Search · · Score: 1

    I tried it before and deleted it because it lacked support for Firefox cache searches. I'm installing it now to see if it has improved.

  4. Re:WinFS on WinFS to be available in WinXP · · Score: 5, Funny

    "So not only is it a file system, it is also a search engine."

    Man: WinFS is a desert topping.
    Woman: No, it's a floor wax.
    Man: Desert topping!
    Woman: Floor wax!
    Announcer: You are both right...WinFS is both a desert topping *and* a floor wax.

  5. Re:damn you, MPAA! on Old Film to DVD Transfers Examined · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Free as in beer, or free as in ice cream?

  6. Re:No patent on Appeals Court Sends Eolas Case Back For New Trial · · Score: 1

    "I no body has this paptent to their credit."

    I may be an insensitive clod, but please, put down the crack pipe. I try to understand stuff through spelling and grammar issues, but I have zero clue WTF you were trying to say there. O_o

  7. Re:A victory? on Appeals Court Sends Eolas Case Back For New Trial · · Score: 1

    "The lower court's ruling, which left MS exposed to a $565 million damages claim, has been partially overturned."

    That wording is hopefully a little clearer.

  8. Girlfriend? on Face Recognition Comes to Cameraphones · · Score: 1

    "What if I get a new girlfriend and she changes my "look" with a new 'dew?"

    What is this girlfriend thing of which you speak?

  9. Re:BUURRRRRING! on Short History of Cellphone Ringtones · · Score: 1

    I am seriously wiping tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. Those guys rocked. Right up there with the "Manamana" dood.

    Hmmm...that would make a great ringtone...

  10. Settle Down, Everyone... on Gator CPO at the Department of Homeland Security · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the FA, it is made clear that this guy is just one of twenty people appointed to be on a committee.

    Hopefully it will be an opportunity for the bastard to be allowed just enough rope to hang himself. In other words, the more visible he is while being an idiot, the more people know he is an idiot.

  11. Re:Not a monolopy ... on Google Gets Away With What Microsoft Couldn't · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am effin in tears at the repeated use of "monolopy" in this post. Transposing the L and the P once is understandable, but doing it throughout the whole post is just plain hilarious.

  12. Re:Meanwhile on How VeriSign Could Stop Drive-By Downloads · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Are those like the Evil Bits?"

    No. You are getting this confused with your "Naughty Bits".

  14. Re:What new features in 1.1? on Mozilla Roadmap Update · · Score: 5, Informative

    From http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/roadmap.ht ml :

    We are still working on goals for 2.0 and are drafting a PRD for its development. Some likely goals include:

    * Improvements to Bookmarks/History
    * Per-Site Options
    * Enhancements to the Extensions system, Find Toolbar, Software Update, Search and other areas.
    * Accessibility compliance
    * More ... ?

    (Note: placing an item on this list does not mean it will not be complete until 2.0, rather we would like to be done by 2.0, it may be implemented by 1.1, 1.5 or 2.0)

  15. Are they saying... on Mozilla Roadmap Update · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...that Firefox 1.0 can be improved upon?

  16. Wouldn't this actually be... on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    ...an AS (artificial stupidity) bot?

  17. Re:oh for god's sake on Spam and Spyware Too Much for Some Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "is apple's media saturation here in the bay area completely nonexistent anywhere else?"

    Hmmm, lemme think on this one a bit. Isn't the SF area the most peace loving, new Beetle driving, whale saving, artsy-fartsy community in, oh, the whole world? Add to that mix the inherent fashion sense of the homosexual community and it sounds like the ideal place for Apple to focus their advertising dollars. Just a thought.

  18. Re:Wow on Gmail Messages Are Vulnerable To Interception · · Score: 1

    Spurious? More like annoyingly superfluous.

  19. Re:A Darker Shade of Grey Hat on Gmail Messages Are Vulnerable To Interception · · Score: 1

    "As for these guys getting hired by Google--being smarmy twits about Google's code review practices probably isn't gonna help their case any. Shame, because a little tact and professional courtesy would have given them a damn good running start at it..."

    The folks at Google are way too bright to go offering jobs to such blatant comma abusers no matter how much tact and courtesy they possess.

  20. Re:how come on How Company Employees Use The Web · · Score: 1

    "so how many slashdotters remember when alta vista was just a dgital subdomain?"

    I do. That was back when it actually gave useful search results. They went in the shitter even before getting swallowed by Compaq, though.

    "I miss "Tagu." That is all!"

    STOP POKING ME!!!

    Gotta love them Orcs...

  22. Re:Incorrect. on FCC to Allow Wireless Access on Planes · · Score: 1

    I think the reason why people were able to call out of the hijacked planes was becuase the planes were traveling at such a low altitude.

    Surely they were higher than 10 stories up. 0.o

    Thanks! I always wondered how that was spelled.

  24. Re:Please ? on Siblings Guilty of Spam Felony, Partner Acquitted · · Score: 1

    "Don't you think there are other crimes that deserve such a real punishment? Spam is easily filtered with spamassassin and friends"

    The crime here isn't merely that of spamming, but also of scamming. "Theft by swindle" is another way of saying it, IIRC.

    And corrupted politicians? Is there any other kind?

    They used to hang horse thieves, right? *grumble*

  25. Re:Neopets is evil... on Neopets Gambling Controversy · · Score: 1

    They actually foisted Co$ garbage upon you during the interviewing process as some form of "employment test"? Wow. I knew about their ties to CoS before (and they *do* run deep), but I had no clue it drizzled down all the way to their hiring practices.

    Not only is that scummy, it may very well violate US labor laws. Congrats on not getting the job! :-P
