    That's what I was thinking too. Good riddance!. If anyone from the Chinese government is reading this, can you PLEASE take Korea with you? My mail server will thank you!

  4. Re:Slashdot lags! on HD DVD to Screw Early HDTV Adopters · · Score: 1

    This is a discussion site, and the articles on here are not supposed to be 0 minute news. Here, we are more concerned with opinions, facts, and discourse.

    If you read either site for the comments and discussion, you're a retard.

    http://my.yahoo.com/ .. make it look however you want.

  6. Re:Yahoo, giving guidance on Web design? on Yahoo! Releases OSS Ajax and Design Tools · · Score: 1

    you can completely customize every aspect of your Yahoo portal, and put drop RSS blocks onto it.. if yours is cluttered and useless, it's because you're too dumb to change it..

  8. Re:This is not the case in glorious Nippon! on The World's Fastest Image Processor · · Score: 1

    Ya know, sometimes I get the impression that posters on Slashdot are a bit too cynical for their own good. ;-)

    you're right.. this site sucks anymore..

  9. The more interesting question.. on Would You Take A Paycut for More Interesting Work? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Would you take a pay raise for less interesting work? Hell yes! Make a bunch of money first, then use that money to do something that interests you.

    Money isn't everything.. But it IS freedom..

  10. Re:Isn't this like the virus calling the trojan da on AOL to Charge Senders for Incoming Email · · Score: 1

    Spam usually doesnt actually come from the person who's name appears in the From line..

  11. Re:Dokuwiki ! on How To Choose An Open Source CMS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Please no. Wiki != CMS. I really hate the current trend of open source projects putting all their documentation in a wiki.

    How to install SomeProject - This article is a stub, but you can help by writing it!

    No thanks.

  12. It's terrible. on Slashdot Index Code Update · · Score: 1

    I never thought I'd say this, but even Fark does a better job organizing their news. Whose idea was it to visually attach *unrelated* stories together?

  13. Re:Even Worse on How to Write Comments · · Score: 1

    Although it does make it easy to tell when the student copied the assignment from someone else.. :)

  14. Re:I just don't see why single letter domain names on ICANN Considers Single Letter Domains · · Score: 1

    or a phishing site, like paypal.co.m

  15. Re:I failed a coding test because of this guy on Goto Leads to Faster Code · · Score: 1

    real men write that shit in asm..

  16. Re:I failed a coding test because of this guy on Goto Leads to Faster Code · · Score: 2, Informative

    You do realise that GOTO command translated to a JMP isntruction, which any compiler produces in abundance anyway, right?

    This simply isn't true, and it's a shame that it got modded up. Modern compilers do a lot of optimization to your code, and most of those optimizations are disabled as soon as the compiler sees an unconditional jump. Things like placing variables into registers, unrolling loops, etc.

    But what do I know, I'm just a "dogmatic asshole"..

  17. Re:I failed a coding test because of this guy on Goto Leads to Faster Code · · Score: 1

    Sorry but I gotta side with the professor. Don't use goto in C++.

  18. Recursive CSI on CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 5, Funny

    They should make a CSI episode about a killer who commits crimes based on stuff that he's seen from watching CSI.

  19. Great Article! on Beginner's Guide to Quantum Entanglement · · Score: 5, Funny

    +1 dugg

  20. Re:The developers are not smart enough! on Hyperthreading Hurts Server Performance? · · Score: 0, Troll

    MS SQL was designed and likely largely tested in a single processor system and multiprocessor or HT support is somewhat less than optimal.

    Anyone who modded this up is retarded..

  21. so? on SBC CEO: Pay up if you want to use our pipes · · Score: 0, Troll

    We have them. Now what they would like to do is use my pipes free, but I ain't going to let them do that because we have spent this capital and we have to have a return on it. So there's going to have to be some mechanism for these people who use these pipes to pay for the portion they're using.

    makes sense to me.. what's the problem?

  22. oxymoron: look it up... on TransGaming Releases Fast Software 3D Rendering · · Score: -1, Flamebait

  24. No Direct Sales? on AMD Tops Intel in U.S. Retail Sales · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seems like an incredibly flawed survey.

  25. Not so simple... on Bloggers Not Eligible for Shield Law? · · Score: 1

    So if I work for some company, is it ok for me to post their trade secrets on my blog, and then hide behind the first amendment when they try to sue me? "Hey man, sorry about that, freedom of speech nullifies those nondisclosure agreements I signed when you hired me. I'm a journalist after all."

    It's not so simple.
