  1. Re:Money on Oracle CFO Leaves after Four Months of Service · · Score: 1

    Not sure how this is troll. His reputation is well known. That and his infamous licensing schemes (our bill will be based upon the number of times we suspect you even THOUGHT about Oracle). Larry is not someone I'd want as my supervisor.

  2. Re:3 cents for 1 hours work? on Amazon's Mechanical Turk · · Score: 0

    Read closer. The task may pay 3 cents, and you have a one hour limit, but it generally will not take more than a couple minutes. I don't have exact numbers, but it probably is worth less than McD's assistant fry vat job.

  3. $/hr on Amazon's Mechanical Turk · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone want to make an estimation of $/hr earned doing this? I'm at work, and don't have the balls to spend 20 minutes earning cash online ;)

  4. Re:Hey on Singing Mice and Brain Chemistry · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been emitting high-pitched squeals whenever attractive women come near me for years. Why does nobody call it a "song" then? ;(

    Anything to do with it coming out of the opposite end?

  5. Re:If only... on Singing Mice and Brain Chemistry · · Score: 1

    Not quite what you had in mind, but what about these guys?

  6. Re:Smash Mouth on Can Your Mouth Become Multilingual? · · Score: 1

    I think it is still another sixteen words too long... ;)

  7. Re:Crime on New Limits to FBI Tracking of Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    I wasn't aware that I was writing a reasearch paper. And if I were, I would be deducted for miquoting Lord Acton. Do you have anything to add to the discussion, or do you just want to play high school composition teacher?

  8. Not surprising on MIT Professor Fired over Fabricated Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    84.2% of all college level professors fabricate data. I have a source for this -- I just can't find it right now.

  9. Re:Crime on New Limits to FBI Tracking of Cell Phone Users · · Score: 1

    And if I were world dictator Weird Al would be Poet Laureate.

    Elect me world dictator today...

  10. Re:Crime on New Limits to FBI Tracking of Cell Phone Users · · Score: 4, Funny

    Power Corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Everyone from Microsoft would be banished to Alcatraz, and Linux would be the state enforced religion with Linus as His prophet (non-profit?).

  11. Re:Crime on New Limits to FBI Tracking of Cell Phone Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    Agreed. Yet Slashbots just drool at the chance to knock something they don't like. You think we have problems now? (we do) Can you imagine if the slashdot moderators gained control of the federal government? We'd have an absolute police state in six weeks.

  12. Re:Rather alarmist story... on ISS Orbit-Raising Attempt Fails · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What about 0? Unless you count negative infinity...

  13. Re:Coral cache link on Intel Dual Core Xeon Benchmarked · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Right after folks RTFFAQ and realize there are reasons that they don't auto-corralize.

  14. TMM FP on New VAIOs Made of Carbon Fiber · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I would like to find out what happened to TMM. His address was publically posted. Did someone off him because of FP jealousy? We need an in depth investigation. Pull everyone off the Rove case. We have a REAL crime afoot here.

  15. TMM? on DVD Jon to work for Michael Robertson · · Score: 0, Troll

    I, for one, miss TripMaster Monkey's insights. What have you done with him?

  16. There goes my plan! on Breaking Into the Video Game Industry · · Score: 5, Funny

    You don't get to make games by sitting around playing RPGs and dreaming (unfortunately)--you have to get out there and work hard.

    Seven years wasted! And NOW he tells me...

  17. Ofcourse on Breaking Into the Video Game Industry · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You don't get to make games by sitting around playing RPGs and dreaming

    Ofcourse not... you also have to get FP on Slashdot. Duh.

  18. RTFA on Price Comparison Shopping in MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Now I can finally say that I've read ALL of TFA's

  19. Re:I really don't think thats it on Top Advisory Panel Warns Erosion of U.S. Science · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Spend 300 billion a year, and tie up a significant percentage of your youth in the military, and that drains from other sources including sciences. I know a few engineers who are over in Iraq right now.

    Spend 500 billion a year more than you make, you end up with nice large debts (like we didn't start out with a big one). Spend hundreds of billions in "service payments" to this debt, and that is money you can't use for building schools.

    Promise ever 65 year old that he can live on social security till he's 100 when they put in a minisule amount of money compared to what they put into the system (used to be 1% of payroll), you have to steal it from those with no political voice (under 18).

    Need any more examples?

  20. Item #21 on Top Advisory Panel Warns Erosion of U.S. Science · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Block all U.S. based access to Slashdot. We've seen the effect it has had on our youth. We could cripple our enemies while at the same time bring up the IQ level here.

  21. Re:./ built its own death ray... on Archimedes Death Ray · · Score: 1

    What is dot slash?

  22. Re:CyricZ Exposed on Distant Planet Imaging Project Gets More Funding · · Score: 1
  23. Re:Sounds cool... on Distant Planet Imaging Project Gets More Funding · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Not posting this anonymous despite the hit it may take:

    Go through CyricZ's post history. You'll find it chock full of vague refernces to things that he has absolutely no idea about. Yet 9 times out of 10 it gets modded insightful. He takes a holier-than-thou approach despite the fact that he truly hasn't a clue.

    Yet karma +2. Says a lot about Slashdot.

    (ofcourse my karma is absolutely deserved )
