  1. Re:Suggestion: Reposting stories from 10 years ago on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    That's what the dupes are for. They just haven't finished duping... In the sense of duplicating.

  2. Re:Venerable? on Microsoft to Allow PC Makers to Downgrade to XP · · Score: 1

    Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  3. Pick one rant only, please. on Nuclear Info Kept From Congress and the Public · · Score: 1

    Pick one rant only, please. You can complain about weak nuclear power safety *or* GM food but not both. Unless the weak nuclear power safety *causes* GM food.

  4. Re:NASA Cutbacks Due To Bush's Push To Mars on Explosion at Scaled Composites Kills 2, Injures 4 · · Score: 1

    You know this wasn't at NASA, right? I blame Bush for everything too, but this one might actually not be his fault.

    Not vampires; ghouls. Get it straight, my zombie brother-cousin-pet.

  8. Re:The American equivalent... on Turkey Censors YouTube · · Score: 1

    That is awesome. Thank you.

  9. Re:Good or law-abiding? on Google Accused of Benefitting From Piracy · · Score: 1

    To do no evil does not necessarily mean to do good. I am sure there is a cogent and pithy reply from some hoary old philosopher, and that in latin, but I am far too lazy to look it up.

  10. Re:"minor-attracted adults" on Has Verizon Forfeited Common Carrier Status? · · Score: 1

    Word!

  11. Re:I Just Got a LINUX CAR! on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    I have had this happen on the articulated buses in Seattle. The thought of a rebooting bus is only a little less scary than walking right into traffic. In fairness, it was probably a failed electromechanical link between brakes and some safety gadget (the second rear door hydrolift is not 100% retracted or somesuch) and not an actual computer. But still.

    Me too. Image schmimage.

    It was just you.

  16. Re:Sinking Dollar to Blame? on Ken Kutaragi's Famous Last Words · · Score: 1

    'demonimating' is a perfectly cromulent word.

  17. no@no.no on College Student Receives Email of the Lost · · Score: 1

    I've used that one a lot.

  18. Re:2 ears, 2 speakers on Why 7.1 Surround Sound is Overkill For Most Homes · · Score: 1

    Except that the parent was paraphrasing "The Island of Dr. Moreau." Any reference to DEVO is strictly coincidental.

  19. 2 ears, 2 speakers on Why 7.1 Surround Sound is Overkill For Most Homes · · Score: 3, Funny

    That is the Law. Are we not men?

  20. Re:in a positive light on When Purchase Recommendations Go Bad · · Score: 1

    Victocrats? What on God's green earth is a victocracy? Rule by the victors? No kidding! But that fails context ... lessee here ... FFS! Bad coinage! Do you mean 'rule by victims' as in 'victim syndrome' as in ' playing the victim'? Back to Greek and Latin class, commenter.

    "Pull out rose tinted glasses"? What's that supposed to mean? Take off the glasses? Pull them out of my ass? But then the view is not rose-tinted. Back to anatomy class, commenter!
