  1. Re: Yay for "zero tolerance" on Texas Boy Suspended For "Threatening" Classmate With the One Ring · · Score: 1

    Honor role students are facing jail time for truancy for god sakes.

    Living in Texas, but not having been educated here, I'd like to perhaps call your attention to two grammatical errors in one sentence. "Honor roll" and "for God's sake" Now you can see where the problem with Texas education arise. The teachers and principals were raised in Texas.

  2. 2004 called - they want their news back on Dial 00000000 To Blow Up the World · · Score: 1

    Seriously, this is a blogger posting news that broke in 2004. He even admits it. And /. reports is as sensational .. what?

  3. Re: Shame on them on Clam That Was Killed Determining Its Age Was Over 100 Years Older Than Estimated · · Score: 2

    Err... All your clam are belong to us?

  4. Re:This is relevant to my interests on Twitter's Fake Followers Watching IPO Closely · · Score: 2

    We need to have your comment modded up by fake moderators. A higher positive ranking on your comment will indicate better acceptance in social media circles.

  5. Re:Pathetic on Mark Shuttleworth Apologizes for Trademark Action Against Fix Ubuntu · · Score: 2

    By this, I assume you mean that once someone has taken a wrong course, they should not try to correct once they realize their mistake? I think I have a job for you piloting huge oil tankers... There is not, in my reading any attempt to hide, it's short and sweet. "Our new guy made a mistake, I made a mistake, and we're sorry." The part about the new guy, is perhaps a bit of smole and mirrors, so I'm thinking they should name him and put him in public pillory. (NOT)

  6. Stay classy, my friend on Mark Shuttleworth Apologizes for Trademark Action Against Fix Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Class is always a good thing to exhibit. (Hi! Mark!)

  7. Wait one second on DuckDuckGo: Illusion of Privacy · · Score: 1

    The source link for the article is a new blog with one (yes, count it, one) post?? I call fowl.

  8. Sometimes two heads are better than one on AOC's 21:9 Format, 29" IPS Display Put To the Test At 2560x1080 · · Score: 1

    I like playing my games in fullscreen and having another monitor showing other"stuff" on the side. With this monitor, that would not be possible.

  9. An advert, not even thinly veiled on Join COBOL's Next Generation · · Score: 1

    Come on. Why is this even allowed on /.? The RFA has the email address of the recruiter and is really just a solicitation. The piece on /. is hardly any better.

  10. Content-free article on Smartest Light Bulbs Ever, Dumbest Idea Ever? · · Score: 1

    Do we now have hacks that post thinly disguised PR releases or vague descriptive picture stories? What a waste of /. bandwidth.

  11. It seems arrogant on Ask Slashdot: Best Free and Open Source Apps For Android? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To imply that you can predict (or ask others to predict) which applications will become abandonware. Free, open-source program repositories are littered with abandonware. That is one of the real hurdles for open-source adoption in enterprises. Android will be no different. Besides, some programs will work fine even if they never get updated again.

  12. 5-year warranty? on OCZ Launches Vector Indilinx Barefoot 3 SSD, First All In-House Design · · Score: 1

    As good as a lifetime warranty if the company is not in business to honor it.

  13. Who edited this article? on Microsoft Blocks FSF Donation Website As a 'Gambling Site' · · Score: 1
    The last sentence doesn't even make sense - apart from the random closing quote.

    However, John Sullivan warned corporate about Microsoft's proprietary network security programs."

  14. Re:How to eat Kale on After Launch Day: Taking Stock of IPv6 Adoption · · Score: 1

    Ah if only I had some mod points left to mod this up!

    I did it for you. I felt generous, thought it was funny and had a mod point burning a hole in my pocket. :) Enjoy. Oh wait, replying here undid my moderation. Bummer.

  15. It's not that the mission was extended on After a Year In Orbit, US Air Force's X37-B Will Conclude Its Secret Mission · · Score: 1

    Just that no-one could remember where they stored the recall instructions. Or who was supposed to write them initially...

  16. For once I'd like to contribute on Photographer Threatened With Legal Action After Asserting His Copyright · · Score: 1

    I strongly recommend this photographer not back down. I (and I'm sure a lot of other people) would like to contribute to a legal fund to support him in his quest and to take down this arrogant woman using her barely adequate legal prowess to bully a photographer.

  17. What a bunch of bogus links on Google Patents Using iPhones To Kill 'Free Bird' · · Score: 2

    The links are to sites, not to the events or activities described. Who cares about the Billy Goat Tavern, except if one lives within driving distance?

  18. Best use of police time - ever on Police Forensics Team Salvage Blind Authors' Inkless Novel Pages · · Score: 1

    well done to the bobbies in blue. :)

  19. This is a joke, right? on Plantronics Helps Make Remote Workers' Lives Easier (Video) · · Score: 1

    Zero-content, non-technical marketing buzzword jargon generated drivel. It's funny, but nothing informational. Propaganda. Why is it even on /.?

  20. Re:driving another nail in its already buried coff on Righthaven Stops Showing Up In Court · · Score: 1

    Personally I'd have preferred the metaphor of "Driving another stake through its already dead heart." Ghoulish vampires deserve extra punishment.

  21. As they say, talk is cheap on T-Mobile Exec Calls For End To Cell Phone Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Very interesting observation, since I got 3 Galaxy S II smartphone from T-Mobile on February 13 for $0 with my 24-month contract.

  22. Already slashdotted, it seems on Australian Scientists Discover 'Oldest Living Thing On Earth' · · Score: 1

    Can't reach the site. Boohoo.

  23. jaw-dropping? on 83-Year-Old Woman Gets New 3D-Printed Titanium Jaw · · Score: 1

    No comment on the wight at all?

  24. Home run on AMD Accidentally Leaks 1.7 Million DiRT 3 Keys · · Score: 1

    Great. Buy an AMD graphics card, register for your free game and lose your Steam account.

  25. Re:Time to cancel your Skype account. on Facebook Wants To Buy Skype · · Score: 1

    Or just tell Skype that you cannot use them if they are part of Facebook? You can always cancel after the deal is done.
