  1. Tiny Titans on Ask Slashdot: Which Comic Books To Start My 3-Year-Old With? · · Score: 1

    Tiny Titans should be right up his alley. Greg

  2. Re:Are you serious? on World of Commodore 2011 December 3rd In Toronto · · Score: 1

    Have fun eating fiber and watching The Mentalist!

  3. Remove torrents? on Court Orders the Pirate Bay To Delete Torrents · · Score: 1

    But torrents are what Pirate Bay is all about! You can't infringe on their right to be a distributor of torrents. You just can't. What about their business model?

  4. Re:Cult != Religion on UK Prosecutors Say 'Cult' Acceptable · · Score: 1

    This strikes me as ignorant. What secrets does the Mormon church try to keep?

  5. She lost on Testimony Wraps In RIAA Trial · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Smith was killed for trying to censor his criti on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    > Smith was killed for trying to censor his critics with a strong-arm over the town he ran like a fiefdom

    An unfounded allegation.

    > Smith's followers have tried for more than 150 years to cover up his origin in the New England Spiritualist/Seance movement.

    And another!

    > CoS and LDS are pseudo-religions, who's origins are related more closely to the material gold of coins, than the spiritual gold of inner experience and vision.

    The trifecta! You win!

  7. Re:Gonna have a Clam Bake! on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    > gain them "martyrs" as LDS fallaciously claim for Joseph Smith

    Incorrect!
  8. Tank needed on NFL, MLB Accused of Bogus Copyright Claims · · Score: 1

    Someone needs to bring down that MLB satellite once and for all!

  9. Re:Blah on The Complete History of Format Wars · · Score: 1

    Better musical capabilities? The Amiga had a 31,250 mode on its serial port and with a very simple converter box you could be speaking MIDI. The box cost probably less than $5 to make commercially (including development, which is a weekend job for the electronics and a week-long job for the plastic, probably) and was sold under $50. A friend of mine made one from shit he had lying around (I think he had to buy some DIN connectors, but that's it.)
    But because the MIDI didn't come standard, developers were unwilling to write Amiga apps for it. MIDI sequencing programs were countless for the ST and are still being developed today.
  10. Re:"...not much media notice" on Executive Order Overturns US Fifth Amendment · · Score: 1

    You're not very good at this, are you?

  11. Re:"...not much media notice" on Executive Order Overturns US Fifth Amendment · · Score: 1

    So, you didn't understand the reference, eh? Sucks to be you!

  12. Re:"...not much media notice" on Executive Order Overturns US Fifth Amendment · · Score: 1

    Would that be the Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires?

  13. Re:Except on Executive Order Overturns US Fifth Amendment · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wow, an "informative" mod for pure conjecture.

  14. Re:Uh Huh. on Executive Order Overturns US Fifth Amendment · · Score: 1

    This is an example of the logical fallacy called "The Slippery Slope"

  15. Re:It's been leaked a lot easier than that. on Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera · · Score: 1

    It was DeepDiscount.com, same as the camera image leaker.

  16. She is snot guilty! on RIAA, Safenet Sued For Malicious Prosecution · · Score: 2, Funny

    Page 23, Section 10.3 of the action filed says that "Ms. Andersen was never observed downloading any mucis". A defense like that is nothing to sneeze at! The RIAA needs to be exposed for being the flim-phlegm men they are.

  17. More than 50%? on CompUSA Closing More Than 50 Percent of Stores · · Score: 1

    That's almost half!

  18. Well, duh! on US Not Getting Money's Worth From ISS · · Score: 1

    Anyone else read the title as "US Not Getting Money's Worth From IIS"?

  19. Escalation! on Canadian ISPs Send Thousands of Copyright Notices · · Score: 1

    If you don't comply with the terms of this light-hearted letter, we'll send you a more serious one.

    And if you are still infringing at that point, we have yet another, more seriouser letter to follow that one.

    A third offense begets a COMPLETELY serious letter, which will also be pinned up on a public wall for all to see.

    If all other measures fail, we'll call your Mom! We're serious! We'll really do it! Don't take a chance!

  20. Re:Why is it either/or? on Sony Set to Market Blu-ray as Winner of Format War · · Score: 1

    When it should be neither/nor!

  21. There's no need to fear on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 2, Funny

    Underdog is here!

  22. Re:The iTunes Music Store has real problems on iTunes Sales 'Collapsing' · · Score: 1

    AllOfMP3 was one of the best things to exist

    Correction, still IS one of the best things to exist!

  23. Re:Some of the ideas not so new on Silly String Goes to War Against IEDs · · Score: 1

    Sounds painful, though I've never heard of that euphemism before.

  24. Re:Tailgating on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 1

    No, but George Carlin did.

  25. Re:So Bush lied (again)? on Rumsfeld Stepping Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So Bush lied (again)?

    What lie?

    So let's see, first we lie about the invasion of Iraq being tied to the September 11th attacks.

    Source?

    Then we lie that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction.

    Actually, we didn't lie. Believing something to be true that later turns out to be false is not lying.

    Then we lied that Iraq was tied to Al Qaeda.
