  1. Re:For the Ladies on Slashdot 10-Year Anniversary Charity Auction for the EFF · · Score: 0

    Are there actually ladies on /.? They're kind of the like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster to me, I've heard of them but have never actually seen or met a female nerd.

  2. WTO should tell Bush... on US Faces $100 Billion Fine For Web Gambling Ban · · Score: 0

    Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.

  3. Batman Beware on Stalling Cars Via OnStar · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    He better watch out next time he gets framed by the forces of evil and the police are after him... http://youtube.com/watch?v=HXGP8tkV1N4

  4. .asia over .xxx?? on .Asia Internet Domain Launched · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think there's a bigger need for .xxx than .asia, no?

  5. Visa Students = Big $$$ on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: 0

    I assume it's the same in the US but that's how it is in Canada. The university I work at has seen a drastic increase in the number of asian students. Considering foreign tuition brings in about 3x more than domestic students (due to government subsidies and tuition freezes) is it any wonder we're seeing such an increase? Then our graduates (yes, I know a few personally) go over there for a year to teach them English. Only thing is they should teach them BEFORE they come here to study...

  6. Re:A gated suburban hell on Apple Cuts Off Linux iPod Users · · Score: 0

    Right on the money. This why I have never bought and Apple or I-product. I'm not big on shiny white plastic hardware anyhow. Cheers!

  7. Dammit, dammit, dammit! on Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech · · Score: 0

    I was going to create a group "F**k Crocs" today. Guess that would be dropped to. I'll just have to stay on the "I Dont care How Comfortable Crocs Are, You Look Like A Dumbass." group.

  8. Answers for Questions in summary on Can Apple + AT&T Shut Down iPhone Unlockers? · · Score: 0

    Can they prohibit unlocking? No.

    Reselling? No. It won't take long for Apple to realize their mistake and open the Iphone to any service provider. While they might make some easy cash partnering with AT&T, in the long run they'll make much more by opening things up for potential customers. I mean, come on Apple, get into the 21st century. Nobody wants to be tied down to one service provider when there are so many different options available that might suit certain users better.
  9. really /. worthy? on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 0

    Guess it does fall under the 'News for Nerds' part of the slogan cause it sure as hell ain't any 'Stuff that Matters'.

  10. Re:How is this /.-worthy news? on Wine 0.9.44 Released · · Score: 0

    Not sure it's really news-worthy, as you pointed out, but I didn't know Wine was even still actively developed until I read this article. Is there even still a need for it??

  11. Re:What's this about!!! on Sony to Add TV Tuner, DVR to PS3 · · Score: 0

    Hmm... Maybe they suddenly recalled Hiroshima and decided to say screw the USA, make them beg and grovel.

  12. Re:Think of the children! on German Prosecutors Won't Help RIAA Counterpart · · Score: 0

    Wow, good point. The classic "if you're not with us you're against us" will be creating an international incident soon. Perhaps even WWIII... Bush: "File-sharers can shake the foundations of our recording industry, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter copyright laws, but they cannot dent the CD sales of American resolve." Merkel: Ja, gut. Another Shniztel und Bier Herr Bush?

  13. Re:They're not mutually exclusive on Ubuntu Linux vs. Mac OS X · · Score: 0

    It's about satisfying needs, not wants. Can a budget PC satisfy your needs? Sure it can. You just WANT all the computing horsepower and features you can get. Most average users only surf, do email and maybe some word processing or home finances. Do they need a dual-core system with 2GB of RAM. Yes, ok, I walked into that, they do if the system comes with Vista. Satisfying needs doesn't mean your surrounding yourself with inferiority. Indeed, "what should quality, comfort and style" have to do with anything as long as your needs are being satisfied. A Bud Light (or even water) satisfies my thirst just as much as a Stella when I'm thirsty.

  14. sounds logical on Smarter Teens Have Less Sex · · Score: 0

    My high-school average was almost 90%. Hit university and it dropped consistently every year until I flunked out. But was it worth it? Hell ya - except for the STDs...

  15. In other /. related news... on A Majority of Businesses Will Not Move To Vista · · Score: 0

    Facebook is back up! Yay!!

  16. In other /. related news... on Weapon Found in Whale Dated From the 1800s · · Score: 0

    Think Tony Soprano's dead? You may be right!

  17. Re:The BEST one..... on Hilarious Antique IT Advertisements · · Score: 0

    I agree. "Screw the world" mentality aside, it was a rather pathetic commercial. I wonder if they actually paid to run that 1 minute spot...

  18. has hell frozen over? on Microsoft Hires Director of Linux Interoperability · · Score: 0

    No, wait, can't be, the Leafs haven't won the Stanley Cup.

  19. Re:Softcore porn.... on Watching My Neighbors Watch On-Demand TV · · Score: 0

    I've found that most women prefer softcore over hardcore... I'm sure your husband/boyfriend prefers the hardcore though, and if he doesn't admit it, he's lying!

  21. bottom-feeders?? on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 0

    Us bottom-feeders have to work to you know! Not everyone has a cushy IT job where they can read /. all day.

  22. Re:So the market sure is promoting innovation on The Man Who Owns the Internet · · Score: 0

    Why are so many people so upset about this particular scumbag making a huge profit this way? The answer is simple; they're pissed off they didn't think of it first.
  23. wow on Experts Now Say JFK Bullet Analysis Was Wrong · · Score: 0

    This is something the non-experts have known all along. Can't wait until the truth comes out either! That and the truth about the fake moon landing.

  24. Estonia really exists?? on Russia Accused of Cyber-War Against Estonia · · Score: 0

    I thought Estonia and Estonians were only a fictional place and people in Dilbert Comics.

  25. Re:Who cares? on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 0

    Once again, a completely correct response gets scored as troll. In other Slashdot news, a teacher forces student to sit in corner with dunce cap.
