  1. Nintendo says... on Sony Finally Turning a Profit On PS3s · · Score: 4, Funny

    "What's that?! Speak up! I can't hear you from this giant pool of money I'm swimming like Scrooge McDuck!"

    Nah. Nothing on Earth will destroy the planet. Now wipe out all life that supports humanity... possible. Wipe out all life? Also nah. If nothing else lives, there will still be bacteria somewhere.

  4. FACEBOOK on Twitter To Establish Information Security Program · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I was just about comment about how they should be hounding Facebook for all shit they pull.

    Constantly changing options and putting them by default onto the most open setting? That's maliciously hoping that people are either too lazy or stupid to change them back.

    Hiding the delete option for FB accounts and implementing it in such a fucking retarded way, forcing the account holders to search out and delete every comment, photo, tag, and other info they put in instead of just having a delete button? Utter bullshit.

  5. Re:Sound and fury, signifying nothing. on Wikileaks Founder Advised To Avoid American Gov't · · Score: 1

    How interesting it is the attention moderators are giving replies to your comment....

    Considering the actions taken by the government thus far and the utter indifference to the suffering caused, evil is the correct term.

  6. Re:It's simple jealousy in my case on Why Engineers Don't Like Twitter · · Score: 1

    If there's any reason to hate twitter, then it's for giving URL shorteners an audience. I want to see where the hell I'm going to, not a hash or redirection site.

  7. Re:Dignity. on Utah Attorney General Tweets Execution Order · · Score: 1

    I dunno.... Guillotine doesn't sound so hot after reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillotine#Living_heads

    Personally, I think high explosives would be best. Little more messy but just do it outside somewhere away from everything else. I think somewhere on the Great Plains would be nice and probably a bit more resilient to shockwaves.

  8. Re:Customer Service on Verizon Makes Offering Service Blocks a Fireable Offense · · Score: 1

    Kinda pathetic that what is best for the company isn't best for the customers, huh?

  9. Re:slashdot is next to be banned on Thailand Shuts Down 43,000 More Websites · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's our fault we don't respect or give a shit about some guy in some other country where anything disparaging about said guy is illegal.

    That's the definition of backwards, dumb fucking fundamentalism. People can't take a joke and everything is so god damn serious. Mother Teresa was a whore. Jesus was black. Mohammad wears a hat made out of bacon. The King of Thailand wipes his ass with pineapples. Barrak Obama is a piece of shit for not prosecuting Bush officials for torture. Republicans are adulterous homos. I don't give a shit about the graphics of PS3 or 360 games and I think motion controls are overrated. Popular music sucks. Do you Sudoku? Then you're a fag for patterns! The numbers could be letters or colors for all intents and purposes.

    Now then, I don't care about Mother Teresa nor whatever level of sexual activity she enjoyed. Jesus and Mohammad? What about 'em? Pineapples seem a bit rough and the juice might sting. If that's enough to get banned, well, try sticking your head up your ass a bit further and then you won't even have to worry about seeing posts like this.

    Does that mean we're third world now?

  14. Re:I'd rather hear about a next gen console on Project Natal Renamed 'Kinect' · · Score: 1

    Camera tracking will be far to ambiguous. Are you trying to delete that file or were you just scratching your eyebrow? Were you discretely adjusting your underwear or did you want full on, hard core porn being played on the big screen?

    Now if you said brain implants, then you might be onto something but even that would require a society far less crazy and far more in control of themselves as well as one with a much deeper understanding of themselves lest any thought be put use immediately (see examples above).

    They're both stupid trackers. The Wii just happens to be more couch friendly.

  17. Re:Government intervention needed? on FTC Bombs Massive Robocall Operation · · Score: 1

    Well... let's just assume that in this dreamworld where telemarketers get free reign, we, too, can do whatever we please. If that means pairing up some PIs, a bountyhunter outfit, and maybe a few disgruntled ex-military types who were drummed out of army in short order for cutting off the ears and making a necklace out of them and bringing this magical group together to hunt down these telemarketers.

    Management would be preferred, of course, but if they grab some patsy phone jocky and stick a gun barrel in his nose, well, I'm sure that'd help increase their attrition rate a bit more.

    Oh, and there'd be the requisite nerdy and/or butch chick and the hacker dude to assist the grizzled ex-cop PIs.

    Will someone make my movie already?

    What is this game? TFA is kaput at the moment but you'd think the name of it would be mentioned at least....

  20. Re:The 'authorized' biography on Mark Zuckerberg, In It To Change the World? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I propose that like Tony "I want my life back" Hayward, we give Mark a catchy phrase in his name.

    Mark "Dumb fucks trust me" Zuckerberg sounds kinda nice.

    No, fuck off with your updates, your farmville, your "Jimmy likes this comment!", your photo-tagging, and updated ToS (now with more caveats!) and forcing default settings to the most open option.

  22. Re: The Exon Valdez on Quantifying, and Dealing With, the Deepwater Spill · · Score: 1

    Yeah but since BP filled out their own inspections saying everything was peachy, doesn't that mean they're in trouble for not properly inspecting?

    ...or it could be an argument for conscripting anyone to work in Iraq for willfully not doing their job.

    Or going Vlad the Impaler on them.

    Or arresting them right fucking now, no bail, assets seized, and they can start raking beaches with a ball&chain.

    Or we could go China on this and execute the idiots who let this happen and assholes who choose to skimp out on safety.

    I guess that last one is pretty much the same as the Vlad the Impaler option. There's a lot of things this whole fuckup allows us to make persuasive arguments about.
