  1. Re:Does he mean 800x480? on Ubuntu Mobile Looks At Qt As GNOME Alternative · · Score: 2, Informative

    hell, at *small* end its 320x200, either color or with 4 bit greyscale

  2. Re:One wipe is not enough. on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    and both female slashdotters should remember to always wipe front to back

  3. Re:poor reasoning on Windows 7's Media Hype Having the Opposite Effect As Vista's · · Score: 4, Informative

    Do some research spewing assertions that are incorrect. Serrated blades have been used for bread for thousands of years, and have been found in N. Africa, Egypt and Great Britain. For example: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/472505.stm

  4. Re:Keanu got the wrong role... on Keanu Reeves To Star In Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 1

    yes! he could be the henchman holding Faye at gun point in the church. With enough remedial training, Keanu just might be able to pull that role off. "Failure to comply...." *bang* *splat*

  5. Re:Scott McNealy: almost twenty years too late .. on Sun Open Sources the Netscape Enterprise Server · · Score: 0, Troll

    more importantly, Sun is dying, and the net finance reports confirm it

  6. Re:Public availability on The Presidential Portrait Goes Digital · · Score: 1

    actually, that's too much digital detail, every pore and hair follicle and mole and zit and even strands of lint on his suit are visible. Maybe we should go back to oil painted portraits.

  7. Re:Cairo on Wiretapping Program Ruled Legal · · Score: 1

    maybe they were fighting with terrorists. The U.S. Constitution says those citizens have a right to speedy trial. If found guilty, then I would be fine with having them shot for high treason. So yes, I hold them up as shining example, innocent until proven guilty in court of law.

  8. Re:Cairo on Wiretapping Program Ruled Legal · · Score: 2, Informative

    you are aware that U.S. citizens are being held at Guantanamo?

  9. Re:Contact Senator Ford on South Carolina Seeking To Outlaw Profanity · · Score: 1

    Should we use advanced argumentative techniques from the Joe Pesci school of logic with him? "You cocksucker. You fuck. You think I'm funny, you piece of shit *fuck*? You this this is abuse, you cocksucker?...."

  10. Re:Product dumping on How Microsoft Beats GNU/Linux In Schools · · Score: 1

    For internet use Macs outnumber Linux boxes over 8 to 1

    Now I use GNU/Linux, but there's no sense being such a fanboy that reality is denied. Linux market share for desktop is minuscule on this planet, less than 1%.

  11. Re:Product dumping on How Microsoft Beats GNU/Linux In Schools · · Score: 1

    schools get a very steep discount for macs, the schools in my area got 40%

  12. Re:Product dumping on How Microsoft Beats GNU/Linux In Schools · · Score: 1

    Linux might make headway for that cost reason now that we're in economic downturn, but right now Mac has over three times the users.

    Mac OSX is a very small part of the cost of a Mac. And all the major desktop GNU/Linux apps run on Mac OSX

  13. Hey PJ! on SCO Proposes Sale of Assets To Continue Litigation · · Score: 1

    your placing of Groklaw into archival mode was maybe a bit premature.

  14. Re:HUH?? on Unemployment Claims Crash State Web Sites · · Score: 1

    with the dirty old men at our library only results would be "giant sucking sound", a sigh of pleasure, and you wouldn't get your shoe back.

  15. Re:This won't go well on Lexus To Start Spamming Car Buyers In Their Cars · · Score: 1

    driver: yes car, maybe we should get something for Todd.
    car with Shatner's voice: Excuse me....What..would...Todd ..need....with a Starbucks?

  16. Re:Despicable tags! on Dell Closes Ireland Plant; 2nd Largest Employer · · Score: 1

    and we haven't even yet discussed "how many Polacks it takes to build a Dell"

  17. Re:HUH?? on Unemployment Claims Crash State Web Sites · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I missed the part where we're transported to an alternate universe where the crotch rubbing porn surfers monopolizing the workstations at the library jump out of the way to give job seekers priority

  18. Re:Hmmm... on FreeBSD 7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    easy, run cpu load up on 8-way box with pthreads or semaphores...

  19. Re:Hmmm... on FreeBSD 7.1 Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    FreeBSD fanboyz shouldn't go mouthing off about "half-assed" considering the way since 5.x it's crappy smp and threadlocking would seize up tighter than a great-grandma on a straight brick cheese diet with lock-mgr panics. Problem persisted in 7.0, who knows if 7.1 will finally put the issues to rest?

  20. Re:You mean on Microsoft Rumored To Lay Off Thousands Worldwide · · Score: 1

    only if you get married in there, to the the guy who has the biggest hoard of cigarettes.

  21. Re:Peace through mini nukes! on Distributed "Nuclear Batteries" the New Infrastructure Answer? · · Score: 1, Troll

    bullshit - not "a lot of explosives", that containment vessel is VERY thin compared to a conventional PWR, more like a couple minutes with common construction equipment to breach one of these. and as a bonus Hyperion's choice of fuel is extremely flammable and explosive upon contact with air. These things would be a *very* attractive terrorist targets

  22. Re:they appear to actually be police on Amtrak Photo Contestant Arrested By Amtrak Police · · Score: 1

    you mean fugly police women? yeah, they have that kind of dog too

  23. great ip6 news because of economy! on IPv4 Address Use In 2008 · · Score: 1

    global recession will slow the demand and use of ip4 space, so ip6 adoption can be pushed out 5 to 10 years more, just like it's always been for the last 20 years.

  24. Re:Cutting Cables on Four Threats For '09 You Haven't Heard of · · Score: 1

    that's easy, most were done by anchors of willfully ignorant ship's crew. Quite common. Just think what someone with actual hostile intent could do with the nav charts those ships are supposed to be using.

  25. Re:An old dude in a turtleneck... on Steve Jobs' Macworld Keynotes, 1998-2008 · · Score: 4, Funny

    a 40 something balding man in a black turtleneck

    that's a terrible mischaracterization. He's a 50-something balding man in a black turtleneck
