  1. Re:If you want a discussion not biased on Washington Post Buys Slate From Microsoft · · Score: 1, Funny

    And if you don't want to be modded down to a -1 by a Slashdot moderator, you don't make off topic comments about the rating system.

    ...Oh. Damn.

  2. Re:smells of 80's eastern europe on EU Moves Forward with Data Retention · · Score: 1

    So... two options, then?

    The EU where you have "freedom of speech, as long as its what we want you to talk about."
    And the US where you have "freedom of speech, as long as its in a freedom of speech zone."

    Haha! :)

    I don't have mod points to give but you made me laugh :)

    Haha, parent made me smile :)

    I can just imagine some terrorist scanning his emails for the line "Did you hear about thet flood that made people's lives in country X very miserable..."
    "Ah ha!" says the terrorist. "So we are attacking country X!"

    And as for your last comment... you're sounding suspiciously like a terrorist yourself! :/

  5. Re:GPS is much better for navigation on Internet-By-Airship Scheduled For Trial Next Month · · Score: 1

    Navigational nodes that serve as internet nodes, too. Hrm... A good idea!

  6. Re:Try and tell you that to American software make on Sony PSP Launched With Long Queues In Akihabara · · Score: 1

    I beleive its physically impossible to set Word to stick to anything but US English for spell checking. You can change it, but it always seems to sneak back when your back is turned, or when your window is minimized...

  7. Re:That line isn't as hardcore.. on Sony PSP Launched With Long Queues In Akihabara · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm sure owning PSP's will help that problem.

  8. Re:PTC on Lone Activist Group Submits 99.8% of FCC Complaints · · Score: 1

    Ha! That does sound like a pretty damn funny TV show. Maybe its not all crap...

  9. Re:Chinese Threat: Price of Security vs. Privacy on Feds To Have Unified Biometric Federal ID System · · Score: 1

    Hmm. Just a quick question, what would happen if the Chinese did obtain information about top US military technology? Is the hypothesis that they will suddenly build weapons and attack us? Or do we just want to stay one up from the rest of the world?

  10. Re:and you call yourselves computer people? on Clean System to Zombie Bot in Four Minutes · · Score: 1

    Yep. Give the majority of computer users a firewall and they'll shove it in the fire to keep em toasty in winter.

  11. Re:Registration Not Required on Intel's Expensive Disco Ball · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Political debate is definitely something that seems to be missing in the US. Its either indifference, or more often now, pure one minded vitriol.

    It sure would have been interesting to have some real presidential debates. Sigh...

  12. Not true! on Lying Makes The Brain Work Harder · · Score: 1

    Hmm... maybe, its the other way around, and its actually easier to lie than it is to tell the truth! And the reason they're telling us this is just because its easier.


    OMG OMG it's the matrix!

  13. Re:Good thing on Innovative Uses of RFID Tags · · Score: 1

    Wow. Nice article. Helped me understand the situation a lot more. Good on you for being an intelligent rational person on slashdot, its not something I've seen too much of!

  14. Re:one place to look on Art Tips For Programmers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, I'm suprised there's not more. It's a damn huge site, I can't imagine trying to administrate something like that. The fact that its free is a testament to the hard work of the creators. Uh. I guess we're getting a little off topic. Sorry about that.

  15. Re:Halo 2 or Half Life 2? on Half Life 2 Available, Delays Not Valve's Fault · · Score: 1

    Live up to they hype... ha, that's a good one.

  16. Re:SAFE! on U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Resigns · · Score: 1

    I think there's a bit on the end, too.

    Ha! This should be modded funny.

    "unfortunately we live in reality" Oh, god... how true that statement is.
