    Waiting to be modded "lame joke" in 3, 2, 1....

  3. 1999 called and wants its headline back on PETA Condemns Pokemon For Promoting Animal Abuse · · Score: 4, Insightful

    PETA is probably also listening to Smash Mouth and fearing Y2K.

  4. Re:The DMCA on Ask Slashdot: How To Fight Copyright Violations With DMCA? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Should that be:
    D oesn't

    A nyway
    outside of the USA?

  5. Re:Apples and oranges on China's Alibaba To Outsell Amazon, eBay Combined · · Score: 1

    Not exactly. Alibaba also sells direct to consumers: http://www.aliexpress.com/

  6. Re:Single Sign-On on Ask Slashdot: What's Holding Up Single Sign-On? · · Score: 1

    And please, don't anyone mention using FB as the universal ID. I don't have and don't want FB account(s).

    So no one should discuss it that does have a FB account? What else shouldn't we mention because you don't like it?

  7. Re:I'm actually relieved to hear this on Microsoft Won't Say If Skype Is Secure Or Not. Time To Change? · · Score: 3, Informative

    You do realize a lot of people pay for Skype, right?

    Worst. Astroturf. Ever.

    If you're only eating fast food, the life you're all set for is going to be pretty short.

  10. Re:Almost, Apple... on Wozniak's Original System Description of the Apple ][ · · Score: 1

    How expensive were other personal computers when the Apple ][ was released?

  12. Never heard of it on Online Music Storage Firm MP3tunes Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1, Troll

    2022 Started using Viagra, increased using porn

  15. Re:Really, Slashdot? on Is Google the New Microsoft? · · Score: 5, Funny

    The better snarky post would have been: "Is Slashdot the new Mashable?"

  16. Re:all I care about on Microsoft Using Linux To Optimize Skype Traffic · · Score: 1

    I hate to tell you this, but Anderson Cooper is a guy.

  17. Re:Is Skype really better? on Microsoft Using Linux To Optimize Skype Traffic · · Score: 1

    Well, if the person you're calling also has Skype installed the call is free. Calls to landlines (from the U.S. anyway) are usually between 2 cents and 3 cents per minute.

  18. Re:What is the NBA's excuse? on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    I think the entire list of players would exceed the Slashdot character limit.

  19. Re:Football? on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 2

    We'll change the name "football" to something else as soon as you change the name soccer to "endlessly faking injuries then miraculously recovering once a penalty has been called".

  20. Re:America's Most Popular Sport on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 0

    I think that's the Confederates State of America's most popular sport.

  21. Re:An easy fix. on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 2

    I know that, but 20 years from now you'll see that the rate of problems will have increased quite a bit.

  22. Re:Football on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    Join a Fantasy Football league. It is more nerdy than playing Magic the Gathering within Minecraft through a Commodore 64 running Linux while watching Lord of the Rings inserting your own Monty Python and the Holy Grail lines while living in your Mom's basement

  23. What is the NBA's excuse? on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    They have the most brain damaged athletes of any sport (see "Amar'e Stoudemire").

  24. Re:An easy fix. on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If the NFL went back to the type of padding/helmets they had just 20 years ago the players wouldn't be doing this damage to one another. The "armor" has evolved substantially over that time to minimize (cause?) damage, but humans have not.

  25. Skype replaces P2P supernodes with Linux boxes on Hacked Skype IP Address Search Shows Who's Speaking From Where · · Score: 3, Informative
