  1. alpha on Google Drafts Cloud Printing Plan For Chrome OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm trying out the alpha, and the printer has an undecipherable message.

    PC_LOAD_GOOGLE

    What does that even mean?

  2. hot dog on Oracle Wants Proof That Open Source Is Profitable · · Score: 1

    If the vendor delivers binaries only, at least there's still the possibility that the code is good quality, cleverly engineered, or whatever they're convincing people to pay for.

    It's the hot dog perspective. If it tastes good, you don't need to know what's in it.

  3. Natalie and grits on ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Be careful, though. Natalie Portman might pour hot grits on you.

    Where do I sign up sir?

  4. Re:FUCK JEWS on ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers · · Score: 5, Funny

    FUCK JEWS

    When they are exceedingly attractive, female, not married, and expressing interest, I do.

  5. Re:constitutional law professor on Google Backs Yahoo In Privacy Fight With DoJ · · Score: 1

    I still have an image of that check lying around somewhere. I was very proud of it.

    I'd be more interested to see a scan of the scathing letter.

  6. TI85 on Google Backs Yahoo In Privacy Fight With DoJ · · Score: 1

    You can hook your TI-85 up to a computer connected to the internet.

    indeed.

  7. Re:What? on Google Backs Yahoo In Privacy Fight With DoJ · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What exactly is the problem with just getting a search warrant?

    It is not convenient to have to bother with one.

  8. nah on Google Backs Yahoo In Privacy Fight With DoJ · · Score: 1

    Hmmm I wonder how they would react if the Government offered to pay for the same information they are currently requesting be provided free?

    The US government paying google with US taxpayer dollars to get information from google's international (read: not necessarily US taxpayer) end users? I don't see that going over well.

  9. BofAmerica on What Can Be Done About Security of Debit Cards? · · Score: 2, Informative

    For Bank of America customers, this service is available as well.

  10. Flash on Google Preparing iPad Rival? · · Score: 1

    Let's see Flash on a Droid.

    I have Flash support on my Droid Eris.

  11. Re:Biggest iPad Limitation: No HTML Editing on Google Preparing iPad Rival? · · Score: 1

    The lack of support is frustrating if you use Blogger or WordPress or any decent Content Management Systen.

    Out of curiosity, are there no 'Blogger' or 'WordPress' apps in the store? I'm not saying that is preferable overall to adding in the Safari support, but I'm interested if that niche has been addressed.

  12. location-based on Foursquare Turns Down $100M · · Score: 1

    What the hell is that? I thought Twitter was supposed to be the Next Big Thing?

    Well, Foursquare seems to currently be the Next Big Thing in the location-based genre of social networking.

  13. Bin Laden on Rupert Murdoch Hates Google, Loves the iPad · · Score: 1

    The only way this could get worse for Apple is if Osama Bin Laden reads his next set of crazy pronouncements off an iPad.

    Need a teleprompter? There's an app for that.

  14. Openness on The Apple Two · · Score: 1

    Jobs' ideas have always been in tension with Woz's brand of idealism and openness. Crazy as it seems, Apple Inc. — the creator of the personal computer — is leading the effort to exterminate it.

    The bulk of consumers expecting their computing devices to behave like appliances are leading the effort to exterminate it. Just switch it on and it works. It's not entirely Jobs' fault. He sees himself as giving the customer what he/she wants.

  15. Re:Yes, hacking. on iPad Progress Report · · Score: 1

    So, in true Slashdot spirit:

    It's a sad day when getting root on my own device requires 'hacking'

    FTFY.

    Indeed, this is closer to what I ought to have typed.

  16. root on iPad Progress Report · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's a sad day when getting root on my own device is considered 'hacking'

  17. file manager on Android's "Flea Market" Needs Urgent Attention · · Score: 1

    I sometimes have a bit of trouble separating the wheat from the chaff. For example, to find a file manager (I couldn't believe one wasn't included by default), I had to google it and discovered that a lot of people were using AndroZip -- a zip program -- as a file manager.

    I recommend Astro (Android Systems Tools Reporting). WFM.

  18. Ow on Will Australia Follow China's Google Ban? · · Score: 1

    You broke my eyeballs.

  19. FB on Facebook Goes After Greasemonkey Script Developer · · Score: 1

    And any phrase that includes those letters is infringing?

    FB is just embarassed we will discover their real name is FuBar.

  20. Silmarillion on Filming For The Hobbit Begins In July · · Score: 1

    I'll third that, it'll save me the agony of reading The Silmarillion

    I wouldn't mind a companion Silmarillion website, with maps and historical sidenotes. It could work.

  21. heyyyyyy on Microsoft VP Suggests 'Net Tax To Clean Computers · · Score: 1

    You tricked me. I am still looking for the car in your analogy.

  22. ahem... on UK Police Promise Not To Retain DNA Data, But Do Anyway · · Score: 1

    If i'd had behaved like a prick like you suggest what would it have gained me?

    Exercising your rights does *not* make one a prick.

  23. Re:I've lost my idenity, can I have a new one? on Banks Accept Dubai Assassins' Stolen IDs · · Score: 1

    without a single shred of evidence

    Precisely. Of course this won't stop journalists from reporting it as fact.

  24. citation needed on Banks Accept Dubai Assassins' Stolen IDs · · Score: 1

    Israel basically doesn't care about what they've done to these people because for them their war against Hamas justifies anything...

    So I take it you have evidence it was done by Mossad?

  25. Re:Slash Dot Virus Sequel Injected in You on Anatomy of a SQL Injection Attack · · Score: 1

    you will need to reformat your brain.

    Does this mean I have to download the internet again?
