  1. Misread Your Post on Robotic Arm Aids in Grasping After Stroke · · Score: 1

    ...as funny

  2. Old Technology on Remote Exploit of Vista Speech Control · · Score: 1

    This Is The Voice Of The Mysterons...

  3. Re:Why not? on Why the .XXX Domain is a Bad Idea That Won't Die · · Score: 1

    Wrong. The sites want potential customers with the ability to pay. Therefore allowing their sites to be easily blocked from children by netnanny-esque software is in their best interests also.

  4. Re:Phew! on Acer May Be Bugging Computers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mine shipped with FreeBSD, which I immediately wiped & wrote my own OS, in binary, with my eyes closed and my hands tied behind my back, but I appreciate the thought

  5. Re:web apps on Intel Previews Potential Replacement for Flash Memory · · Score: 1

    Errrm, never mind RTFA, RTF-summary!

  6. MySpace on Amnesty International vs. Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    Despite claiming to work on myspace, the increasingly more stringent myspace html control doesnt allow the content to be added, censoring if you will the information boxes.

  7. I for one on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 1

    I for one, welcome our cute overloads

  8. Re:Rule Britannia! on UK Government Passes ID Card Bill · · Score: 1

    In actuality though, we barely live in a Democracy, just an elected dictatorship.

  9. Re:Not only developers frustrated on Motorola's Linux Phones Frustrate Developers · · Score: 1

    Haha I wish. apt-get install hot-girls

  10. On the other hand... on BitTorrent and End to End Encryption · · Score: 0

    My kneejerk reaction was extremely critical of the ISP's actions. Upon further consideration however, the position of being asked to violate your clients confidentiality and hand over IPs to the RIAA or whoever certainly wouldn't be an appealing one.

  11. For those too lazy to RTFA on Duke Nukem Forever Tops Vaporware List · · Score: 5, Informative

    The list: 10. High-def TiVo and TiVoToGo for Mac 9. AlphaGrip ergonomic keyboard/trackball 8. Blu-ray or HD-DVD discs 7. Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms 6. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 5. StarCraft Ghost 4. Microsoft's Vista and Internet Explorer 7 3. Google -- betas galore 2. Phantom Game Service 1. Duke Nukem Forever

  12. Re:Pardon? on A History of Firefox · · Score: 0

    You have to remember that this is stilla version 1.x product that will continue growing and improving for many years. It's also open source, so if the code offends you that much, I invite you to go and help fix it.

  13. Re:People: Obsolete on Cooking Dinner From the Road · · Score: -1

    Wife?? You must be new here!

  14. Re:An incident I witnessed at the mall. on Iron Heroes: A low magic tabletop game · · Score: -1

    Glad your sense of humours intact :P

  15. Re:An incident I witnessed at the mall. on Iron Heroes: A low magic tabletop game · · Score: -1, Troll

    Go back to your parents basement and play at dressing up as a warlock.

  16. Re:Go to jail already. on Get Fired. Delete Colleague's Account. Go To Jail. · · Score: 0

    I'll probably be modded troll for this (because I'm oh such a misunderstood genius adrift in the sea of fascism that is the slashdot moderation system) but is it just me or is anyone else sick of reading posts starting "I'll probably be modded troll for this"

  17. "Slashdot features more in-depth and technical dis on The Rise of Digg.com · · Score: -1

    "Slashdot features more in-depth and technical discussions." You must be new here!

  18. Aaaaah... on Did Apple Sabotage the ROKR? · · Score: -1, Troll

    So it's a feature! And you thought it was only Microsoft...

  19. Re:I kicked Windows to the Curb, too! on Windows User Experiments With Linux for 10 Days · · Score: 0

    You bitch about MS Office docs not always opening properly in OOo but have you ever tried opening a native Open Office file in MS Word?

  20. Re:Music is a waste of time. on Band Invites Music Copying · · Score: 0

    May I suggest you have a listen to Anthony and The Johnson, fulfils all of your criteria.

  21. Re:say what you want... on Microsoft's Most Successful Failure · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Yes, but look at the amount of time Windows has been around for and look at how far linux driver/hardware support's come in such a short space of time. Now imagine where it will be in 10 years.

  22. How we laughed on Witty Worm Kick-Start Methods Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    "...And then I said 'No I'm not, I'm a worm" Oh that witty worm.

  23. Re:Final answer...? on Critical Shortage of IT Workers in Coming Years · · Score: 0

    I know what you mean, every other day I seem to be reading about jobs getting outsourced to India, which is also possibly why people are wary to do a CompSci degree.

  24. How Strange.... on Critical Shortage of IT Workers in Coming Years · · Score: 0

    They should talk to my mum, she knows for a fact that I shouldn't do CompSci because of a shortage of jobs. And she read it in the paper, so it must be true.

  25. Fantastic.... on Mars Orbiter Photographs another Mars Orbiter · · Score: 1, Funny

    Camwhoring has reached outer space.
