  2. Re:An opportunity to get out of your plan on Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They made an unenforceable threat and you caved instead of calling them out just as they expect. Grow a pair next time and don't let them bullshit you.

  3. Re:They better stop advertising it as "unlimited". on Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans · · Score: 1

    But it's still unlimited. You can use it 24/7 365 days a year! We don't limit when you can use it so we can still call it an unlimited plan!

    Isn't marketing speak fun?!

  4. Re:OT: sales tax question on Legal Tender? Maybe Not, Says Louisiana Law · · Score: 1

    I never understood by laws aren't written in with a plain English section that specifies the "intent", to be used as guidance by lawers and judges later.

    If laws were simple and easy for the average person to understand, there wouldn't be as big a need for lawyers. Since most laws are written and enacted by former lawyers, you can begin to see why.

  5. Re:What is the economic motive? on Legal Tender? Maybe Not, Says Louisiana Law · · Score: 1

    The "D" words works, but the "G" word gets every cop from 10 miles around a big stiffy. When there is a gun involved, the chance a cop will get to fire his goes way up. This always gives cops a raging boner. Had she added the G word to the D word, a lot more than 2 squad cars would have showed up.

  6. Re:Gambling should be illegal in all states. on Online Poker Legalization Bill Coming Next Week · · Score: 1

    Typical, you want to take the health issue of addiction and criminalize it instead of attempting something that would address it as a health issue. We need to stop making issues of physical and mental health into crimes.

  7. meter-wide bean? on New Laser Makes Pirates Wish They Wore Eye-Patches · · Score: 5, Funny

    > meter-wide bean

    That's a huge bean!

  8. Re:What does the wasp do with it? on Scientists Discover Solar Powered Hornets · · Score: 1

    One of these days.

    I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

  9. Weird Coincedence on The Many Iterations of William Shatner · · Score: 1

    When his wife died by drowning in the pool at their home, I got weirded out because I had just watched an episode of Columbo where he played the murderer and, you guessed it, he killed his wife by drowning her in the pool.

    Truly, a life imitates art moment.

  10. Extortion on Hurt Locker File-Sharing Subpoenas Begin · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When are they going to make extortion illegal?

    Oh wait...

  11. Ah Pinball on What Pinball Looks Like When the Stakes Are High · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Memories of misspent youth and quarters.

    I could pop a quarter in an Eight-Ball Deluxe machine and play all day. I was able to hit most of the specials and rack up credits for free play. Sometimes I even left a few on the machine when I had to go.

  13. Re:Why guard the border at all? on Patrolling the US Border Via Webcam · · Score: 1

    Of course the Panama Canal is sort of a moat, and it is part of the USA.

    I'd like to point out, we handed over the canal to Panama at the end of the last century. Seeing as your an Aussie, your forgiven.

  14. I'm just waiting... on Man Tries To Use Explosive Device On US Flight · · Score: 1

    Wait until a bomber is caught with a bomb up his ass.

    You thought airport screening was bad before?

    "Cough please!"

  15. Re:A guaranteed audience? on The Simpsons Worth More Per Viewer On Hulu Than On Fox · · Score: 1

    I was going to reply with the usual "What ads?" but you've made the point.

    I don't see these ads thanks to adblock, just a short pause of a few seconds waiting for it to time out and continue with the program.

  16. Fight back on Warehouse or No, UK's Expensive Net Spying Plan Proceeds · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think the best way we can fight the intrusion of governments into the privacy of our communications will be to flood the system with false positives.

    A priest, a rabbi, and a terrorist walk into a bar.

    BOOM!

    What? You were expecting a joke?

  18. Re:The Realm! on Exploring the Current State of Beta Testing · · Score: 1

    I remember when this "world" was made up of 9 rooms. It was little more than a chatroom with legs a la Kings Quest/Leisure Suit Larry.

    Ah the memories. Gold Pants. Stephen dropping Baldrics. Tragluk and Shebok.

    Man, those were the Good Old Days!

  19. Already Broke Rule #1 on Will Wright Leaves EA/Maxis For Stupid Fun Club · · Score: 5, Funny

  23. Re:What the FUCK is this doing on Slashdot?!? on Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars · · Score: 1

    Seriously, for me they lost any credibility when E.T. won best special effects over Blade Runner.
