  1. Don't blame the article author on Stallman Absolves Novell · · Score: 1

    ...blame the sites who spread it.

    ---> i.e. Slashdot

    I guess I'll have to reshuffle my bookmarks today(with /. buried in the less frequently visited sites). It's the only voice of protest that counts anyways. An editor or two should be dropped over this. It wasn't stupidity, or lack of diligence.

    They give us pencils up here in Canada
    I vote in BC and was was given a pen. I imagine an erased 'x' and mark in another box would be a ruined ballot.
  3. MOD PARENT in some direction on Is the Microsoft/Novell Deal a Litigation Bomb? · · Score: 1

    If that quote can be confirmed, this entire thread is cast in a clearer light. Only other CEO I've seen talking so openly about their intentions was the Deiblod CEO http://www.boingboing.net/2004/11/03/quote_of_the_ day_die.html

  4. Re:encrypt "every bit of data" on Seagate To Encrypt Data On Hard Drives · · Score: 1
    How does one encrypt a bit, exactly?
    Forget it. Best to encrypt a lot these days.
  5. Re:Oh My. on Bush Signs Bill Enabling Martial Law · · Score: 1
    Are you saying the current elections arent pretend?
    We're still beta testing this overthrow, OK? Give us Neo-Con's a break, we're stealing shit fast as we can already. We're improving and making truly great strides towards a more seamless pretend system of elections, pretend principles and pretend democracy. Just a few minor road blocks remaining, including you knowing and discussing all this -- so you'll have to stop soon ;)
  6. Re:Oh My. on Bush Signs Bill Enabling Martial Law · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Yes, I'm pretty sure when the elections get 'cancelled indefinitely' we'll be all primed for revolution. Provided we're not all distracted by the new consoles first.
    No need to "cancel" elections, just make them so they're pretend elections.
  7. Use that text :full page open letter from Canada on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    Yes, yes... Oh just yes. Oh god, yes. I'll keep to myself the unpleasant extent of my personal agreement organism but up front: I wish I hadn't mod'ed my last point on the bloody fedora core 6 review.

    As a fellow Canadian(bloody hell, Victoria too), I'd pay a good slice to see that running full page in an American newspaper prior to the midterms.

    It sums up much, in the right tone.

  8. Re:FP! on Water-cooled Radeon X1950 XTX Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Sorry....another "Anonymous Coward" already posted a few years back.

  9. Yes, yes...more Video card reviews!! on Water-cooled Radeon X1950 XTX Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    The internet needs more video card reviews!

    Go Slashdot go!

  10. Clarity/Concision = null pointer on Linux Desktop Ready, Says Mainstream Media · · Score: 5, Funny
    Also, the article is slightly unclear on the concept of open source
    Never.

    The mainstream media is never confused with the meaning of open source.

    Lies.

    Deibold. Voting these days is pretend.
  12. Re:Simple Solution on FTC Fines Xanga for Violating Kids' Privacy · · Score: 1
    DON'T COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION, STUPID!
    I agree, that's precisely the solution.

    To test whether a site is collecting personal data, register as a 10 year old. If they won't let you in after that, they are less likely to be collecting personel data(god I'm niave).
  13. Re:Doubleplusgood! on Boardroom Spying Debacle at HP · · Score: 1
    pretexting, the controversial practice of obtaining information under false pretenses That's an awful lot of words to replace a single, more useful one: "lying".
    That's such a pre-911 mindset. If people in high positions can't knowingly break the law and massage the truth, the terrorists prevail.
  14. Sad... on Humanity Gene Found? · · Score: 1

    ...that my first anticipatory reaction to this headline was wondering what the republican counter response would be.

    OMG, 5 is not high enough a number. I haven't performed a "LOL" live for some time. Thanks for the joke....send resume to: Oh never mind, there is no venue for that but here.

    If not, you support the terrorists as far as Stevens could care.

  18. Boycot Alaskan tourism industry.... on Bloggers 1, Smoke-Filled Room 0 · · Score: 1

    A boycot is a way to effectively voice displeasure at this guys 'contributions'. As has been pointed out, he brings home the pork, he's good at his job....so until:

    pork_bucks are less than tourism_bucks

    nothing changes(i.e. screwing the rest of the nation is fair game...and well played I might add)

  21. Re:Vi - it's what's for supper on 17 Web Based Competitors to MS Office · · Score: 1
    because, face it, if you can't text edit with Vi, you really shouldn't be trying to work Open Source.
    With comments like that, you shouldn't be trying to represent Open Source.

    Please don't compare cl text editors with true word processors. Yes, you can write a book or business document in Vi, but think about it.
  22. greastest threat to Office is MS's own old soft on 17 Web Based Competitors to MS Office · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In my experience, old versions of Office(starting from '97) have 99% of the functionality needed. With all those copies sitting around...who needs to pay MS for new versions?

    Office is the one thing Microsoft got right, and it's done, finished, paid for.

    The google thing looks nice, but there's no logical need to be online, so why? To decrease user privacy and gain more marketing info?

  23. Re:Being flagged as flamebait is your least prob on Iranian Heavy Water Nuke Plant Goes Online Today · · Score: 1
    I don't think so, and this is a very tasteless joke IMO.
    Joke? How was it a joke?

    Voicing certain views like this in public WILL get you consideration for the TSA's no fly list. Who do think is making the determinations these days? Have you observed the news recently? There are true neo-facist in real positions of power in the worlds one remaining superpower. Is that news to you? Is it news to you that you are not anonymously posting?

    p.s. I didn't mod you troll. I didn't dissagree with you. I just would've kept those thoughts to myself until a free country exists again.
  24. Re:Being flagged as flamebait is your least prob on Iranian Heavy Water Nuke Plant Goes Online Today · · Score: 1
    I don't think so, and this is a very tasteless joke IMO. Why would you say that? Just because I think that the article was inappropriate, biased, and totally brainwashing with the Bin Laden commercial on he right? Because I think anyone has the right to open a nuclear powerplant (I am not talking about nukes), I do not think anyone should have flagged me anything wrong. I am sorry, but I think many peolpe take all the crap granted what they hear on Fox news. I think maybe you should express what you think, instead of just throwing a one-liner, that many would take as a simple insult. If you think it is right to tell someone how to make energy in their own country, while not urging your own people to burn less harmfull stuff into the air totally carelessly, then say so. If you think it is not tasteless to put a terrorist's name with a half page ad, next to a news article talking abount someone opening a nuclear reactor, then say so. "you are on the tsa list" hahaha very funny, maybe you should have been modded troll haven't you ?
    Next time I try to agree with someone I'll remember you... :(
  25. Re:Do NOT be alarmed! on Climate Changes Shift Springtime in Europe · · Score: 1

    Slashdot needs new mod descriptors. Funny doesn't quite encapsulate how I feel about your comment. (Soul-Crushing-Depressing-Funnny?)

    But I'm still mostly concerned that GWB is the "leader" green aliens would "be taken to".
