  1. Re:Why even mention silverlight? on Maqetta: Open Source HTML5 Editor From IBM · · Score: 1, Funny

    When was this, 5 years ago? By now, Silverlight has a penetration rate of over 70%. And over 95% of those are Silverlight 4.

    Explain to me how to make those things "free" without making them free of charge.

    Are you saying COBOL is not a failure?

  4. Re:Of course they are. on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    I've had 2 Logitech MX Revolution mice. Each of them lasted about 6 months to a year, before they were unable to recharge again. Second one also had a very annoying bug where every so often a single click got interpreted as a double click. Extremely annoying. I can't believe you're peddling that crap here.

  5. Re:OOH A GIERL ON SLASDHOT!!!!! WOOT on Prehistoric Garbage Piles Created "Tree Islands" · · Score: 1

    I think that went something like "where the woman are men, the men are 10 year old boys and the 10 year old boys are FBI agents".

    Except for that it is.

    These days, except for the registry, pretty much everything goes in C:\Users\. But nice try.

    I love you so much.

    I don't need to leave userland, I'm more than happy messing around in your documents. Sincerely, Flash 0-day.

  10. Re:Clue bat achievement unlocked on UK Gov't Says Open Standards Must Be Royalty Free · · Score: 0

    The fact that you throw out 60 years of built up credibility because they disagree with you on one standard (or, according to you, non-standard) might just be a sign of your own zealotry. Or, at the very least, show

  11. Re:I, for one... on Tech-Unfriendly Cafes Say No Kindles Allowed · · Score: 1

    That was not pretentious at all, you jack-off.

  12. Re:1st Amendment on Sarah Palin Seeks To Trademark Her Name · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I call troll for literally interpreting "as a club" to mean something violent, but I'll bite: So I guess that when she said Julian Assange should be treated in the same way the US treats terrorists, she didn't imply use violence to quell speech?

  13. Re:Seriously? on Google's Search Copying Accusation Called 'Silly' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    First of all, I don't think Google has a copyright on any of the content they index, do they?

    Second, as I understand it, clickstream data points are only a small part of the equation. Notice how Google could only reproduce this by using totally bogus keywords, ensuring that the data they fed to Bing through the toolbar were the only data points being considered for those keywords?

    Bing tracks when users search for something, and what sites they visit as a result. I'd almost be offended intellectually if this was not part of their game to provide me with better search results.

    Disclaimer: I use Google almost exclusively. Bing can suck it, but this debate is ridiculously biased.

  14. Re:99 a year to access the market? on Microsoft To Disable Windows Phone 7 Unlocking · · Score: 1

    The marketplace is free. You pay $99/year as a developer to put apps on it. Same goes for Apple.

  15. Re:What grounds? on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    I guess you missed the part where government officials went on public record stating they want him assassinated, labeled a terrorist and on trial for espionage?

  16. Re:Can't believe they released this shit on Microsoft Looking Into Windows Phone 7's 'Excessive' Data Use · · Score: 1

    My WP7, which has 3G enabled all the time, uses about 100MB of data every month, and that includes my own data use. So I guess this must only occur in certain circumstances. But hey, this is Slashdot. Bash ahead! :)

  17. Re:Fallout... on Is Wired Hiding Key Evidence On Bradley Manning? · · Score: 1

    Manning is being held in the most inhumane and unconstitutional conditions imaginable, because Lamo and Poulsen, both convicted felons and both not known for their trustworthyness [citation needed] ratted him out to the government.

    You implying that they're keeping the logs secret to protect Manning's or Assange's cohorts is ridiculous at the very least.

  18. Re:Cops lie on DHS Seized Domains Based On Bad Evidence · · Score: 1

    Are you somehow looking to imply that we should start to ignore this?

  19. Re:Not on wikileaks? on Assange Secret Swedish Police Report Leaked · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Informants names are redacted.
    The idea that diplomacy and transparancy are mutually exclusive is a cop-out.
    The misrepresentation is debatable.

    At what point are you going to stop being a propagandists tool?
    Right back at you, sir.

    I don't think you should call yourself an artist if your first goal isn't to get your music to as many people as possible. A musician, maybe, but an artist? Not in my book, sorry...

  21. Re:Bullied and manipulated other countries? on Digging Into the WikiLeaks Cables · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But if this is all so logical, common sense and accepted modus operandi, why are they going after Assange in such a big sensationalistic way? If this is nothing out of the ordinary, then why all the big fuzz? Why not say "DUH" and be over with it?
