  1. Holy hits batman on Better Factories Through Role Playing · · Score: 1

    Parent managed to get Role Playing, manic, simulation, broken, and well-oiled into one article. Google is going to be sending some seriously confused people to this article.

  2. Re:Moral of the story on George Zimmerman Acquitted In Death of Trayvon Martin · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say all of the U.S. It is obvious to me it wasn't about racism but Zimmerman's machismo. It didn't turn into racism until the jury was assembled. In Texas someone starts a bar fight and gets killed the other guy will usually get man slaughter. If the person that started it killed the other it would be murder 2. Zimmerman would certainly be in prison if he was in Texas.

  3. Re:Moral of the story on George Zimmerman Acquitted In Death of Trayvon Martin · · Score: 1

    it's a good way to get yourself shot

    I was wondering when someone was going to say that. Anyone that takes the effort to follow me home is a threat to me and my home. Anyone with a gun following me home is a deadly threat.

  4. Re:As usual, "it depends" on Ask Slashdot: Is Postgres On Par With Oracle? · · Score: 1

    Nice. A real response. I'd like to add that PostgreSQL is excellent on multiple small machines for the money you would spend on a large machine for Oracle. PostgreSQL ability to replicate is the reason I prefer it. The "hot standby backup machine" is the greatest thing since sliced bread IMHO and the real reason to use PostgreSQL.

  5. ha! on Mastermind of 9/11 Attacks Designs a Secret Vacuum Cleaner · · Score: 1

    Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Making things that suck since 1987.

  6. Re:But ... But ... But ... on Energy Production Causes Big US Earthquakes · · Score: 1

    But we are talking Oklahoma. They get mile wide tornadoes. It isn't like the earth falling out from under your feet is a strange thing. /snark

  7. I got it! on Japanese Gov't Accidentally Shares Internal Email Over Google Groups · · Score: 1

    I spotted a mistake in the post but will fix it for you real quick.

    "An ex-official no longer at Japan's Ministry of the Environment created a Google Group to share email and documents related to Japan's negotiations during a meeting held in Geneva in January, but used the default privacy settings, which left the exchanges wide open."

  8. i'm saying if not is on Maybe Steve Ballmer Doesn't Deserve the Hate · · Score: 2

    The mature verdict on Steve Ballmer is that he has made only one major strategic error: not combining his own brilliance for sales and detail with a visionary product leader who has the authority to create bold new revenue streams for the company.

    It was my impression Ballmer's contribution was the bulk licensing trap that leveraged their monopoly. If that is the case, and with rules preventing manipulating the market using your monopoly, Ballmer's only strategy has been eliminated.

  9. Why two? on Container Ship Breaks In Two, Sinks · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why can't ships break in three or break in four even? I mean really. What ever happened to creative engineering?

  10. I'm going with no too. on How Old Is the Average Country? · · Score: 1

    If I remember by ancient Greek history correctly, Armenia was called Armenia in the time Alexander was building his empire. Does moving the borders here and there change the meaning of "country"?

  11. Finally! on Satellites Providing Internet To the 'Under-Connected' · · Score: 2

    I was wondering when bandwidth would be available to those of us that live south of downtown.

  12. Whats the big deal? on QANTAS Wants To Monitor Frequent Flyers' Home Internet · · Score: 1

    Set up a sight with "death to <insert person in power here>" and write a worm that makes that everyone's home page. Once they realize everyone in Canada wants them dead they'll move. On second thought, they might move to the US. We don't need any more of those guys.

  13. Are you sure about that? on Microsoft Kills Xbox One Phone-Home DRM · · Score: 0

    Did they remove it or disable it until enough people own one they wont be able to do anything when they announce they are turning it back on. Or the more Microsoft approach, say you can get updates to new versions of software but have to have it installed.

  14. Re:Just do it on Ask Slashdot: Getting Exchange and SQL Experience? · · Score: 1

    You forgot a step. Prepare to be working for someone who expects to have every known version of SQL installed, and functioning, on the same Windows 3.5 machine.

  15. Re:Link? on Opposition Mounts To Oracle's Attempt To Copyright Java APIs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot readers needing a link so they can read the article? I see why you posted anonymous.

  16. Re:Easy answer on 3D Printers For Peace Contest · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was thinking brains. They are dead and would have to be brought back as zombies so it is just logical.

  17. Re: Congratulations! on Tesla Motors Repays $465M Government Loan 9 Years Early · · Score: 1

    It sounds like you are doing it wrong. It makes more sense to send the expensive gas guzzlers to the chop shop and buy something economical.

  18. Re:It's about time! on Tesla Motors Repays $465M Government Loan 9 Years Early · · Score: 4, Informative

    Texas is working on banning them too. I wonder if other companies that received loans are running into walls created by state and local governments with republican majorities.

  19. Re:FTFY on Canadian Cellphone Users May Get Justice Over Phantom Charges · · Score: 1

    Maybe the law firm will by some people some beers eh.

  20. Re:Does that mean? on (Highly Divided) Federal Circuit Opinion Finds Many Software Patents Ineligible · · Score: 1

    That article is total lies. Everyone knows the guy owning the legitimate copy of Windows in China was just visiting.

  21. Re:Thanks, Cody! on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 1

    It is only half for now. Someone will need to start a sight with designs on how to make sex toys to get the other half on board.

  22. Re:It just makes no sense... on IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election · · Score: 1

    What makes you think they don't? A hand full of Tea Party loyalists get together to target the Tea Party for the political gain isn't completely out of the question. Is it?

  23. Re:Very un-PC on IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election · · Score: 1

    There is a Catholic joke in here somewhere.

    LOL. You got Troll Mod'd by t-bagerz gangland style. :P

  25. Re:Very un-PC on IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election · · Score: 1

    Religious organizations do not pay taxes. They can not be the target of the IRS. However, in this case the political organizations are so commingled with religious organizations I am surprised they are not always targeted by the IRS.
