  1. Re:Demonstration on Firefox Quickies · · Score: 1

    As with all the "Firefox security holes" I have ever seen in my entire life, Firefox enquires "would you like a virus, sir?" while IE just serves it to you on a plate.

    Just my 2p. Had to say it.

  2. Re:Wrong - Not the "first" ATM. on ATM Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    "A mechanical cash dispenser was developed and built by Luther George Simjian and installed 1939 in New York City by the City Bank of New York, but removed after 6 months due to the lack of customer acceptance."

    Click the Wikipedia link; you'll see that none of the above is there.

  3. Re:Never in a million years.... on Paul McCartney On Music In the Digital World · · Score: 1

    Lennon solo tracks: Imagine, God, Happy Xmas (War Is Over), Instant Karma!, Jealous Guy, Power To The People, Mind Games, Woman is the Nigger of the World, Crippled Inside... and more.

    McCartney solo tracks: Mule of Kintyre, Live & Let Die, Frog Chorus, Jet... that's enough.

    Harrison Solo Tracks: My Sweet Lord, Got My Mind Set on You, When we was Fab, hare hare thingy

    Ringo Solo Tracks: Thomas the Tank Engine.

  4. Re:Never in a million years.... on Paul McCartney On Music In the Digital World · · Score: 1

    Makes good music again? You're talking 1970.

    You can determine how important/talented each Beatle was by the standard of the work they did AFTER the Beatles broke up. Frog Chorus anyone?

  5. Re:Its the Public Internet, what do you expect? on Which ISPs Are Spying On You? · · Score: 1

    ISPs were never in a legal position to say no to a legit court order.
    Seriously, you think they don't do that?

    Last post! Finally I got one! Plots Sat! Stop Lats! (This is the kind of thing I'm supposed to say here, isn't it?)

  6. Re:He's not watching his neighbors watch TV... on Watching My Neighbors Watch On-Demand TV · · Score: 1

    IT'S BOGEYMAN! Sheesh, why do people get that wrong?!! Even Wikipedia gets it right. If there were such a thing as a boogieman, he'd be a Disco Stu lookalike, with a bitchin' afro that won't quit the dancefloor.

  7. Re:Oh God on McCain Wants Ballmer For His Cabinet · · Score: 1

    Politicians! Politicians! Politicians! Politicians! Politicians!
    This comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition. Comment aborted. And then I included this to get round it.

  8. Re:So..... on The Final Days of Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    Google - remember that? Those were the days. No wonder they went the way of all the dotcom companies, what with all the billions of dollars they made.

    Note to self: must cut down on LSD-flavoured potato chips.

    Here's Cringely telling it like it is. Amen to him.

  9. Re:pwned on RIAA Going After a 10-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 1

    10 years olds, Walter. And: everybody fscks with the RIAA, because a lot of people have got off.

  10. Re:I know you hate the RIAA on RIAA Caught in Tough Legal Situation · · Score: 5, Informative

    I can't believe someone posted this AGAIN. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/10/2/103735/275 If more MAFIAA cases made it to court, there'd be more justice. Judges and juries are better than lawyers. I mean morally better, which isn't saying much I know.

  11. Re:Happens all the time on Fighting Porn Vs. Ruining Innocent Lives · · Score: 1

    No, the odds are good if you're using IE and/or Outlook Express.

  12. Re:It's logical they would feel this way. on UK Copyright Under Fire Again · · Score: 1

    You can't criticise Slashdotters for preaching to the choir. The heathens won't come into the church; they're always somewhere else, enjoying themselves.

  13. Re:Oblig. etc. on Androids at China's Robot Expo · · Score: 1

    I'd have thought this was the obligatory post: It's too bad she won't live ... ... but then again, who does?

  14. And all the girlies say he's pretty fly.. on Weird Al Premiere Cancelled Due to Net Leak · · Score: 1

    ... for a white nerd.

  15. Re:Before anyone asks... on Billions Donated to Charity · · Score: 1

    Has Bill Gates turned back into Anakin Skywalker once again?

  16. Re:Futurama on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome obscure references that few recognise.

  17. Re:Newspeak on Detox Clinic Opening for Video Game Addicts · · Score: 1

    It's appropriate that it's in Amsterdam - they know all about addiction there. And is it just a coincidence that teh_pwnerer himself was there on the 14th?

  18. Re:He needs to take some lessons from Steve Jobs on CNN Sits Down With Linus Torvalds · · Score: 2, Funny

    Steve Jobs is Admiral Akbar, Linus is Obi Wan, they can't learn much from each other. Yes, RMS is Yoda.

  19. Re:Psh, weaklings on Help for an MMORPG Addict? · · Score: 1

    This terrifying addiction has been well-documented, in the hard-hitting online drama series Pure Pwnage. http://www.purepwnage.com/episodes.html (Eps 6 & 7)

  20. Re:Did anyone else... on Bill Could Restrict Freedom of the Press · · Score: 1

    Yes. I did. He'll restrict the freedom of anyone who buys Vista anyway. Oh, and: in Soviet America, clichéd joke post YOU on message board

  21. Re:Slashdotted. Here is article text. on Wasp Larvae Feed on Zombie Roaches · · Score: 1

    There's a rather good episode of Dr. Who (with Tom Baker) about The Wirran, in which aliens lay their eggs in a human(+/oid) host. He mentions the appropriate genus of wasp. Alien was ripped from this IMHO. As was The Matrix - a disgraceful rip of a different Dr. Who series, again starring Tom Baker. But, that's another thread.

  22. Hotblack Desiato on Wealthy 'Cryonauts' Put Assets on Ice · · Score: 1

    Remember Hotblack Desiato in The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (the radio series / book) spending a year dead for tax reasons? The best SciFi always comes true.
