  1. Re:Making my point with humor on Nielsen Recommends Not Masking Passwords · · Score: 1
  2. Re:So, for the Norwegian Slashdotters: on Norwegian Lawyers Must Stop Chasing File Sharers · · Score: 1

    Minuses: a socialist government and Jante Law [wikipedia.org] ingrained in the Norwegian psyche.

    Well, that might be your minuses, but you just added 2 of my pluses to the list ;)

  3. Re:what do you think? on Scientists Wonder What Fingerprints Are For · · Score: 1

    Well, if you choose to ignore the concept of "burden of proof", yes, it is.

    "There is no god" is a reply to "There is/are a/some god/s". The former does not make sense without stating the latter first.

    I believe there is no god on the same grounds as I believe there are no orange polar bears. In order to prove that there actually are, you just need to provide a single instance of them. Until that moment, the default position is believing that there are no such animals.

    A belief which, consequently, can be changed by showing me a single polar bear, so no, it's not one of the religious kind.

  4. Re:what do you think? on Scientists Wonder What Fingerprints Are For · · Score: 1

    Ethics can try to tell you whether or not creating such a bomb is a good idea.

    FTFY. I'll never, ever, ever, let religion (be it through the words of an either long dead or alive-and-kicking prophet or some thousand-year-old book) dent my moral choices.

  5. Re:But there's no AdBlock Plus... Use a HOSTS file on First Beta of Opera 10 Released · · Score: 1

    This has been discussed a gazillion times before.

    Come back to us again when hosts can not only block whole advertising companies' domains, but also things like 'http://slashdot.org/ads/*', and thanks for playing.

  6. Re:how about the Dahn Yoga people next? on Church of Scientology On Trial In France · · Score: 1

    Well... How... brave? of the French, the people whose public health service subsidizes homeopathy, to try and take down an organization that targets vulnerable people for commercial gain...

  7. Re:But... on Warrantless GPS Tracking Is Legal, Says WI Court · · Score: 1

    You know, the courts may not be working any more, but as long as everyone is videotaping everyone else, justice will be done.

  8. Re:What does it mean to be human? on A Vision For a World Free of CAPTCHAs · · Score: 1

    If the leg has a CPU in it, are you still human?

    Maybe. Maybe not. I'll be back.

  9. Re:REALLY now? on Google Losing Up To $1.65M a Day On YouTube · · Score: 1

    I guess they didn't... They just generated "popularity"... and that seemed enough to get taken over... But I'm actually a little drunk, so feel free to disagree.

  10. Re:w00t!! on New Discovery May End Transplant Rejection · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah... or buying a SUV to get your groceries. Oh, wait...

  11. Re:Here's an Idea: on Google Launches Free, Legal Music Downloads in China · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that... You may wanna look up quantization, though...

  12. Re:Charging 2.99 on Android Scans DVD Bar Codes, Downloads Movies · · Score: 1

    You evil bourgeois!

  13. Re:Red story is red on NetBSD 5.0 RC1 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I keep my monitor's contrast low, and it hurts my eyes :(

  14. Re:HUMANS: - on Extinct Pyrenean Ibex Cloned · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes, and since we have the ability to both consider the implications of and avoid the extinction of other species, we should at least try to be a little worse at it...

  15. Re:4Chan on Mozilla Labs Wants To Monitor (Volunteers') Firefox Use · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's a browser, not a miracle worker ;)

  16. Re:political porn ... mmm a new subtree on China Makes Arrests To Stop Internet Porn · · Score: 1

    Well, women do, if only to find out whether they marry or not in the end...

  17. Re:Reality check people on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    Certainly, since (status = 1) always evaluates to true...

  18. Real mature on Microsoft Zunes Committing Mass Suicide · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's already kind of lame when someone spells it M$ or Micro$oft in a comment but... in the summary? Childish much?

  19. Re:Attention Slashdotters... on Using Lasers To Generate Random Numbers Faster · · Score: 1

    Verizon will be more than kind enough to provide you with them. HAND.

  20. Re:Attention Slashdotters... on Using Lasers To Generate Random Numbers Faster · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do not look into RNG with remaining eye!

    (Hah! Bet you didn't see that one coming!)

  21. Re:Isn't exactly news on What Carriers Don't Want You To Know About Texting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And that's why the news on slashdot should be that a major paper is shining some light onto the issue for the uneducated masses to see, instead of the current story.

    I can safely bet that it's going to elicit some dozen 'Duh! We already knew that'-comments.

  22. Re:Cost of Convenience? on Study Confirms Mobile Phones Distract Drivers · · Score: 1

    Some variable control information might be nice, as would knowing the source of your statement.

  23. Re:nice pumpkin, but on Halloween Pumpkin Carving With CNC Robotics · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, and if you cared to read the comment you just replied to, you may find out that he already knows, and that he still likes the one samzenpus used better.

    And it's not demonic, FFS, it's a predator!

  24. Re:Harrrr .... on Today Is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Today is international add-a-slash-after-the-file-name day!

  25. Re:Cracking WinRAR is lame on Asus Ships Cracking Software On Recovery DVD · · Score: 1
