  1. Re:Wha? on Is Obsolescence Good Computer Security? · · Score: 1

    Let me get this straight; you read Slashdot, but are still on dial-up? That's unpossible.

    Whatever do you mean? It's a perfectly cromulent choice.

  2. Re:Tip Calculator on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    Math skills to calculate tip? what is internet for?

    It's for porn. What is this "math skills" you speak of?

  3. Re:Easy Solution on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    Formal contracts & documents should be written in Internet slang. "If you fail to pay your credit card debt we will take your car lol"

    I think they're under the impression that they can just dupe another one.

  4. Re:This is vary ture on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 2, Funny

    My college studys lacked lottery traning, and so farr, I havent one teh lottery yet.

    dood, how aer you going to handel teh retiremant if you doesn't win teh lottary?

  5. Re:Ben Rothlisburger there done that on Spacecraft, Heal Thyself · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sound like the smelly green goo inside of my bicycle tires...

    What are you doing having sex with your bicycle tires?

  6. Re:One key question on EU Gears Up for Another Patent Fight · · Score: 1

    So, I'd like to ask: How can citizens of non-European nations help support the efforts to fight Software Patents there?

    Well, Canada will most likely stage a peaceful sit-in, and Mexico can activate Montezuma's Revenge.

  7. Re:Software Patents Aren't Bad on EU Gears Up for Another Patent Fight · · Score: 1

    I'm a software developer. And I consider my "works" to be part art, part science.

    Yeah, I think as such, software is adequately covered under copyright law. (When have you ever heard someone patenting a technique for painting a picture?)

  8. Re:Great content for Pirates of Silicon Valley Seq on Jobs' Invitation To Microsoft a Trap? · · Score: 1

    who would win the wrestling match?

  9. Re:Questions? on FBI Says Computer Crime Costs Billions Every Year · · Score: 1

    Do you think they do this intentionally to generate more fear for profit and funding?

  10. Re:One of many examples. on The Semantics Differentiation of Minds and Machines · · Score: 1

    I guess it seems under water or under rainforest is an evolutionary step. It may not be the step towards where an individual wants to go but it's a step.

  11. Re:Immortal Words... on Jobs' Invitation To Microsoft a Trap? · · Score: 1

    I agree, it sounds like a trap. Can anyone think of anything Jobs has done in the past that wasn't?

  12. Re:In the old days on Getting Fingerprint Readers to Read Your Prints? · · Score: 1

    I'll have to try this when I get home.

  13. Re:pay? on Digital Music Sales Skyrocket in 2005 · · Score: 1

    ha ha ha! It does seem like a silly idea at this point sort of. I like the idea of musicians who bundle their CD's with special concert tickets, limited edition bonus discs, etc. You can't fight the advancement of technology. Record Companies are going to have to learn how to evolve along with it.

  14. Re:Human nature? on NASA Warns of Cluttered Space · · Score: 1

    I think this is a perfect example of the way human beings treat every bit of space they inhabit. It's very sad. I agree also there doesn't seem to be any sense of forethought at all. Sad. Very sad.

  15. Re:Another reverse takeover? on Steve Jobs to Sell Pixar and Join Disney Board? · · Score: 1

    I agree. I think it's more likely the quality of Pixar would go down.

  16. Re:Back Of The Bus With You on Is There Still Racism in IT Hiring Practices? · · Score: 1

    Racism is still prevalent. It is just a matter of degree as to how blatant.

    I guess Kanye west proved that one, eh?

  17. Re:Sore Thumb on DoJ search requests: Yahoo, AOL, MSN said "Yes" · · Score: 1

    Does that make Google the sore thumb now?

    It's got to. Even with 6.1Bn in revenue a year, Google can't stand up to the DOJ.

  18. Re:Cool on Pluto Probe Launches · · Score: 3, Funny

    In 2015 we should get some pretty interesting data back.

    I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

  19. Re:Yay for viruses! on 20 Years of Computer Viruses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thanks to the Blaster virus, I'm getting married in 2 days.

    I don't get it. what does blaster have to do with you getting married?
