  1. don't they already own the moon? on U.S. Announces New Space Security Policy · · Score: 1

    I thought when the US landed on the moon and put up their flag that they claimed it in the name of the U.S. of A? Oh wait, the mooning landing was all staged, wasn't it?

  2. Re:400 million on U.S. Population Hits 300 Million · · Score: 1

    Not if Bin Laden and his terrorist cronies have anything to say about it...

  3. Re:Oh yeah? on VMware "Miles Ahead" of Microsoft Virtual Server · · Score: 1

    My department actually has, on an Linux guest running on ESX.

  4. automakers should countersue... on California Sues Automakers for Global Warming · · Score: 1

    for all the bad movies that are released from the state. What's next? The US is going to sue Airbus for making terrorist weapons??

  5. I'm confused... on Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    Why and how are artists allowing record companies to offer them less per download?? Shouldn't they be receiving more? Aren't record companies spending less if consumers are downloading tracks? It's time, no, it's long past due for artists to take back the music industry from the record companies.

  6. Re:If even Thurrott is saying this... on Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' · · Score: 1

    And with all the marketing money they have, they might even be able to bring the Spice Girls together to create a special Vista Forever track.

  7. Re:Cool!! on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    Most haven't since the next generation. Some haven't since the original...

  8. unfortunately, yes... on Symantec Labels Vicars' Software as Spyware · · Score: 1, Insightful

    At least since Norton got gobbled up by Symantec.

  9. where does this article fall?? on Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires · · Score: 0

    Must be under 'news for nerds' because it definitely isn't anything that matters.

  10. If I were Microsoft... on Microsoft Hit With 280m Euro Fine · · Score: 0

    I'd pack up my things and leave Europe. Then wait for them to come crying back.

  11. Re:Yes, but the larger question remains... on Bacterial DVD Holds 50TB · · Score: 0

    Unlikely, but it's not like 4-digits is expensive these days. I recall paying 4-digits for a C64 system back in the mid-80s.

  12. Re:Bad Mac Users! on MacBook Pro Batteries Swelling and Failing · · Score: 0
    I bet more than half the Slashdot readership has problems with swelling in their laptops.
    I'd bet it's not the head in their pants that has problems with swelling but the one on their shoulders...
  13. Re:No different than Dell/McAfee on AOL Tries New Tactic to Keep Customers · · Score: 0

    I don't use AV either and know I have no virii (plural for virus) - I use Linux.

  14. So what... on Wal-Mart Controls Modern Game Design? · · Score: 0

    I can't believe the gaming industry so pussy-whipped that it! If they isolate themselves not to carry 'questionable' titles people will go elsewhere to buy them. I don't believe the porn industry has taken a hit due to Walmart not carrying any of their movies...

  15. Re:Contribution made to OpenSSH or OpenBSD? on Mozilla Foundation Donates $10K to OpenSSH · · Score: 0
    Again, there's no clear separation between OpenBSD and the OpenSSH subproject.
    So again, clearly there should be. OpenSSH is used throughout the community, OpenBSD, not so much.
  16. Re:Proof on Download-only Single Becomes UK Number One · · Score: 0
    At any rate: forget the past of these two artists, this song is awesome and I'm really looking forward to their album.
    And yet again... '...we have proof that crappy music will remain popular regardless of the method of distribution.'
  17. Re:Disagree on the last comment on Lenovo Under U.S. Probe for Spying · · Score: 0
    What amazes me is that over the last 5 years, our gov. has outsourced so many critical areas to nations that are at best neutral, and more likely future enemies.
    Isn't that what America does best? Train and arm neutral nations that later come back to bite them in the ass? Usama Bin Laden is a prime example, no?
  18. Re:The F word on Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    The word ought to be barred.
    I second that motion. It's as overused as 'hate crime'. I'm surprised Ballmer hasn't been accused of a 'hate crime' yet based on his love of Linux...
  19. Really want Futurama back? on No New Series of Futurama · · Score: 1

    Prove that you're really a fan and buy the freakin' (sorry, it's the Family Guy in me...) DVDs. The execs might think about bringing it back if there really are some fans out there.

  20. Re:oh please on Nineteen Registrars Decry ICANN Arrangement · · Score: 1

    While I'm sure the 'nineteen registrars' are only crying because they weren't picked, Verisign definitely should not have been picked given their track record. Should any of the others been? I think not. Control should be given to a (new or existing) not-for-profit organization capable of maintaining this infrastructure which most businesses across the world depend on.

  21. Re:I kind of agree on Bully Gets In Trouble With School · · Score: 1
    But I guess you won't, and you'll continue to just ignore that fact that millions of kids play all kinds of games with people like you deam inappropriate, but yet haven't turned into muggers, rapists and murderers.
    I can attest to that! I used to play Friday the 13th on the C64 and haven't killed anyone. I also used to play Midtown Madness and have never raced anyone through the city streets nor have I gone hunting after playing Deer Hunter. (PETA folks would be proud!) Games are an outlet to relax and have fun, just like strip clubs!
  22. Hmmm... on 1001 Islamic Inventions · · Score: 1

    I couldn't find Jihad listed anywhere. Or was it the west that invented that?

  23. Re:Lucky Bastards on The New Face of Script Kiddiez · · Score: 2, Funny
    And what kind of name is witlog? It's like cunningpoop...
    Or Eightyford....
  24. Re:Why Farming for Gas Sucks on Kids Build Soybean Fueled Sports Car · · Score: 1
    Farming by its very definition sucks up nutrients from the ground to be hauled off.
    As opposed to farming the earth for oil? Ok, thanks for your perspective Dr. Suzuki.
  25. The Law is the Law on Yahoo Allegedly Sells Reporter Out to Chinese Authorities · · Score: 1

    Yahoo was only doing what they're supposed to do in that situation.
