  1. Re:Motorbikes? on Man Has Nokia Phone Embedded In False Limb · · Score: 1

    I never ever wanted to ask a Slashdotter this ... but.. are you typing one-handed?

  2. Re:How long... on How Steve Jobs Solved the Innovator's Dilemma · · Score: 1

    To the people who spent their mod points to silence my post: 215 comments and counting.

    Uh, no, RMFP, it's actually the "you're part of the problem you're whining about" argument. Slashdot attracts readers to the comments section where they serve ads. If you post about how you hate Apple, you're making money for Slashdot and encouraging them to keep running Apple stories.

    But, hey, according to somebody with a mod-point, I shouldn't be pointing this out. Well, if I'm some crazy person, fine. You're welcome to go to apple.slashdot.org and peek at all the recent stories and how many comments they've gotten. After three or for stores with 500+ comments it really is hard to say that people who post on Slashdot don't want Apple stories posted.

    It's just an emoticon. "You're using Windows XP"

  5. Re:Jobs' Legacy Is Shit - Nothing Can Change That on How Steve Jobs Solved the Innovator's Dilemma · · Score: 1, Troll

    The iPad, iPhone, and Macbooks weren't really successful? +1? Really??

    And you lot wonder where noisy fanboys come from.

  6. Re:How long... on How Steve Jobs Solved the Innovator's Dilemma · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slashdot is ad-driven and Apple brings a lot fo comments, both good and bad.

    Think about that next time you whine about too many Apple stories floating around.

  7. Re:Use CE, Avoid AD to designate the years. on Mystery of an Ancient Super Nova Solved · · Score: 2

    You lot always wait too long to whine! Where were you when we transitioned from BC to AD? Do you know how hard it was to get people to start counting upwards?

  8. Hmm.. on Jaguar Recalls 18,000 Cars Over Major Software Fault · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sounds like a driver issue.

    Why not? We believe Gadaffi's dead.

  10. Re:iPods were NOT the first pocket MP3 players! on A Decade of Apple Oddities · · Score: 2

    I had a Rio and a Nomad as well. To be honest, I don't know why you'd remember either fondly. The Rio had a whopping 64 megabytes of storage and upgrades were sillingly expensive. You could put a whopping one whole CD on it. That device actually got me to see if I could learn to love 64kbit mp3's. The Nomad was much bigger in terms of storage... and it was the size of a CD player.

    Speaking as an owner of both products, the iPod (+iTunes) was a BFD. I know Apple fanboys are obnoxious, but let's not combat rewriting of history with rewriting of history.

  11. Re:"Identity Thieves" on Researchers ID Skype, BitTorrent Users · · Score: 1

    If i ever get the chance, I will ask a hacker that. I've never heard 'victimless crime' when talking about Identity Theft. Learn something new every day.

    When is the term 'Identity Theft' used before any damage is done?

  13. Re:Simple test to detect liars in a fourm on Gnarly Programming Challenges Help Recruit Coders · · Score: 1

    The nitpick about the indentation on a site that won't let me put in the tab whitespace landed you neatly between "never touched a woman" and "Babylon 5 is playing on his TV right now".

    Oh yeah? Tell us more about that.

    In the situation you described, measurable damage is actually caused.

    You get a D-. Go study chapters 3 and 4 again.

    It was a slip of the keys, just like 'jusy' was, virgin.

    The code I wrote was in Python. It wasn't understood that I wrote it in Python, so I clarified that and submitted my post. After I hit submit, I realized that not everybody may know that Python doesn't do ++.

    I really don't get what you meant by 'typo' in this context.

    Well, no, it's not psuedocode. But I will concede that Python is basically jusy psuedocode that works after you've properly indented it.

    Sorry to reply to my own post, but like a dumb-butt I didn't hit preview. Python doesn't support ++. Drives me nuts.

    Well, one way you could have been nicer about it was to clickie the linkie before spouting off this nonsense:
