  1. Re:Why is this tagged as fascism? on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 1

    Prepare to be modded-down -1000000 Heretic for daring to question /. GroupThink.

  2. Re:Fix me on Users Trash Wal-Mart On Its Facebook Site · · Score: 2, Funny

    But that's no reason not to feel overwhelming pity for the people that are forced to shop and work there.

    Those people aren't forced to shop at Wal-Mart. They choose to shop at Wal-Mart because that's only place you can get genuine Dale Earnhardt Jr. 50/50 cotton/poly underwear.

  3. You Mean An Activist Like This One? on US Shuts Down Controversial Anti-Terror Database · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm sure Ms. Stewart was a big fan of non-violent political activism.

    I don't care if you're non-violent or not, if you're communicating with the enemy, we (the American public as represented by our government) want to know why.

    And we have every right to that knowledge.

  4. A Few Nerve-wracking Minutes for Shuttle Crew on NASA Decides No Fix Needed for Endeavor's Tiles · · Score: 1

    . . . during re-entry wondering if leaving their fate to a committee was a smart idea.

  5. Portland, OR Customer Care Call Center? on Netflix Makes It Easy To Reach a Human · · Score: 1

    I don't know if I'd rather deal with a non-native English speaker or the fully-baked minimum wage workers you find Portland. . .

  6. Best. Troll. Ever. on High School Students Forced To Declare A Major · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nice job. That post took a lot of work.

    My favorite part:

    Really, it makes me so mad when people say "oh, he's doing a humanities degree, that's easy". I have to read *3* *books* *a* *week* on average. Not picture books either I assue you. It is a lot of work, but the upshot is improved grammer and spelling skills that are lacking in the technical. As for those that say "you will be working at mcdonalds" , I'm going on to so a PhD in socialolgy where I'll be line for tenure where I have a much more rewarding job then beeing a science freak or an engineer.

    Again, congratulations.

  7. Re:Barbie disagrees on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 1

    I really really wish there were more women in tech

    Yeah?

    I've got two you can have. One talks non-stop about her four kids and her kitchen re-model (former team lead now corporate QA manager) and the other gives us all daily updates on her senile grandmother in the nursing home when she isn't arguing with anyone who asks her question about anything (DBA and configuration manager).

    Thank God for headsets and the Flaming Lips

  8. Re:I don't know about this on NASA Contractors Censoring Saturn V Info · · Score: 1

    Something smells.

    That smell is kdawson's politics and his compulsive need to use /.'s front page to proselytize to the unwashed masses.

    It make Jehovah's Witnesses and Southern Baptists door-to-door evangelism look tame in comparison.

  9. Karl Rove protege? on NASA Contractors Censoring Saturn V Info · · Score: 1

    When did Slashdot get sucked into the Democrats' fever swamp?

  10. Slashdot Infilitrated by Morons? on Wikipedia Infiltrated by Intelligence Agents? · · Score: 1

    Experts agree, morons are now in control of choosing stories for the front page of Slashdot.

    Lord knows they need a sense of humor.

  12. Re:What you really need in New Orleans on Pimping Out a New House · · Score: 1

    You forgot the 12-gauge shotgun, 200 rounds of buckshot, and two well-trained German Shepherd dogs for the months it will take state and local government to restore law and order after the next major disaster.

  13. George Orwell and Anthony Burgess, Where Are You? on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Britain needs you now more than ever.

  16. Re:Not all that impressed on Bringing Bandwidth To Iraq · · Score: 1

    In the end, I didn't live in a tent. I was in an actual buidling complete with amenities most would envy in Iraq. Between all of my contacts, I was rocking it with a TV, DVD Player, Sat Cable and Internet, Refrigerator/freezer, microwave, xbox and ps2 at the time, and above all else AC.

    Wow - sounds just like the Air Force dorms.

    Lucky you.

  17. Did He Take Clippy With Him? on U.S. Billionaire Heads to Space Station · · Score: 1

    Maybe Clippy will be shoved out of an airlock "by accident".

  18. The Arrogance of Man on Billions Face Risks From Climate Change · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We're arrogrant thinking our puny actions can have any lasting effect on Nature.

    Sorry folks, but the Earth is five billion years old and has seen a lot worse than anything we can do let alone control.

    "Man-made climate change" is a political slogan, not a fact.

    In other words, you're being played by an small group of self-appointed know-it-alls who think they know what's best for everyone else, and they're doing it not for your welfare but for their own gain.

    Don't be too suprised after you chase Farmer Jones off the farm to find Al and Rosie sleeping in his bed.

    Environmentalism is the new Stalinism.

  19. PowerPoint Useful for Own Notes Though on PowerPoint Bad For Learning · · Score: 1

    When studying or rewriting lecture notes, I use PowerPoint, treating slides like 3x5 cards.

    It's quicker for me, easier to read (lousy penmanship), and easier to review the notes.

    Plus, my dog can't eat them.

  20. The Vanity of the Wealthy on Biofuels Coming With a High Environmental Price? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    . . . will always win out over the needs of the poor.

    And nothing is more vain than living a life of privilege and consumption while pretending to care about the poor.

    Just trust me - don't do it.

  24. There Is No Oracle *Support* on Oracle Sues SAP for Spidering Their Support Site · · Score: 1
