  1. ny mta on Does Having Fun Make IT More Enjoyable? · · Score: 1

    so all the transit workers union wanted was for someone to make fun of them? could have avoided that strike with a fake moustache on the union president i guess. seriously, it shouldn't take a premeditated management decision to create a relaxed atmosphere. perhaps the employees would like adaquate pay and reasonable pension and health. maybe a little respect too. btw, i'm assuming "fun" makes all employees happier, not just IT. i guess it's cheaper to create a funny ofoto album than to increase wages or not decrease benefits.

  2. price fixing? on Music Download Pricing Lawsuits Pending? · · Score: 3, Informative

    wouldn't be the first time http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2002-09-30 -cd-settlement_x.htm I remember a case back in the late 90's where I got a small check.

  3. Re:Finally recognition! on Evolution Named Scientific Achievement of 2005 · · Score: 1

    our creator is a bodybuilder? damn, there's a pun in there too!

  4. Re:Slashdot Under Siege.... on Evolution Named Scientific Achievement of 2005 · · Score: 1

    so you are substituting "holier than thou" with "smarter than thou"? a pushy atheist is no better than a bible-thumper. arrogance is rarely a sign of or a product of intelligence.

  5. addiction on Are Americans Addicted to Technology? · · Score: 1

    i use the computer a lot because i use it for a lot of things (movies, music, info, work, etc). just because you use something frequently doesn't mean your addicted. otherwise, you could say i have a serious toilet paper addiction. i can't exactly imagine someone getting the shakes or some other withdrawal issues from not using a computer.

  6. stardust? on Stardust to Return January 15 · · Score: 3, Funny

    damn, i got all excited reading the headline. i thought my fav stripclub was going to reopen. oh well. btw, no need to mark your calender, you will be reminded here in a couple days.

  7. next step on Sony DRM Installed Even When EULA Declined · · Score: 0, Redundant

    if you accept, it installs the software. if you decline, it installs the software and some tracking and monitoring software because you clearly have something to hide. w sez so.

  8. Re:A Funny Feeling on Google Acquires 5% of AOL · · Score: 3, Funny

    so you're saying google and aol are moving their headquarters to west virginia?

  9. Re:It's an old story ... on Google Acquires 5% of AOL · · Score: 1

    i fail to see how this is relevant, unless you honestly believe a company can be inherently good or evil. the only goal a company has is to make money. how they do it will change according to who's at the helm and how they decide to run things and which direction they want to go. it's not like a company is a living being who's instincts are programmed into their dna through evolution. i guess there are mods who see otherwise though.

  10. Re:Wait on Testing Drugs on India's Poor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that's why i feel bumfights is really helping the homeless.

  11. Re:For profits are like that on The Differences Between Red Hat and Novell · · Score: 1

    you are absolutely right. it doesn't mean u have to play dirty. however, if your competitors are, it makes it hard to stay clean if you want to remain in business.

  12. Re:This is insulting. on Superman 'Too Big' for the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    i don't know if nipples are the right analogy. i see men's nipples bare on tv all the time. i can't remember seeing any cameltoes though..

  13. Re:Speaking of Safari (Gap.com) on Microsoft Ends IE for Mac · · Score: 1

    really? so that's where he got all those black turtlenecks.

  14. Re:Okay, Israel, we get it on Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor · · Score: 1

    or the stuff does work and gets bought by someone who doesn't want everyone to know they bought it or have it.

  15. tolls on Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass · · Score: 1

    how about find a way implement these on toll roads? then you could sell the power generated to collect money instead of time-wasting toll booths.

  16. Re:missing the obvious ... on After Brief Respite Music Industry Slump Deepens · · Score: 1

    your post got me thinking. i wonder if one-hit wonders are more profitable for the recording industry. if i manage to create a hit with some luck but don't have enough talent to be a full product, i wouldn't have much bargaining power. my hit would pretty much be a lottery ticket and i'll take what i can get. it's not like i can even say i'll go on tour with my one song. meanwhile an egotistical artist who makes a lot of good music and sells out stadiums is not as easy to rake over the coals. donno, just thinking out loud.

  17. Re:Boycott on After Brief Respite Music Industry Slump Deepens · · Score: 1

    they probably can't fathom anyone boycotting them because they don't see anything wrong in what they are doing. they probably also figure if you are not buying, you must be downloading the music, so they consider it pirating instead of boycotting. they can't fathom that anyone would find fault with them or not want to listen to their music. alienating your customers and putting out cookie-cutter music might lead to drop in sales? does not compute!?!

  18. Re:ah yes on Popular Toys Throughout the Ages · · Score: 1

    i know this is /. and we want the ipod on top of every list possible.. but is it really a toy?

  19. Re:Bush & Co. should not be above the law on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    *shudder* i think it would make heads shrivel and die.. oh that head. nevermind.

  20. Re:Uh, guys...it was 9/11. on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1
  21. Re:true for other things too? on CD Ripping Services Compared · · Score: 1

    you could also sit on your hand til it goes numb and then jerk off so it feels like someone else is doing it. damn, forgot where i heard that one. sorry, can't verify if it works though.

  22. Re:Amazing... on Windows Gets Independent Security Certification · · Score: 1

    i believe it's typical slashdot karma-whoring.

  23. Re:booo on Microsoft and MTV to Launch Music Service · · Score: 1

    in 5th grade, it was my motto!

  24. Re:Wow, should MS be sued under the DMCA? on Microsoft Patches Fix IE, Sony Flaws · · Score: 1

    so they didn't change anything?

  25. has a lot of promise on Microsoft and MTV to Launch Music Service · · Score: 1

    MTV has a lot of sway with the younger market, they aren't going after us. and they r quite good at marketing to their target demographic. i know there is a serious lack of details, but i also know that two wrongs make a right..
