  1. Excuse me? on Expensive U.S. Spy Satellite Not Working · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "Expensive" spy satellite is a bit redundant isn't it? Of course it's friggin' expensive! Duh. Geezuz, more biased bullshit. Hey, it's technology. Shit breaks. They'll figure it out and the news will be worthy of the waste basket if it wasn't already. This is a stupid story.

  2. And conversely... on Astronomer Discovers the Most Distant Stars Ever Observed From Earth · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ...any alien civ that might be looking for us from that star cluster is looking at the earth 1 billion years ago. Guess they won't be finding us for a while. =\

  3. Re:Why? on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 0
    Nope. Sorry. Not good enough. Some things are just stupid no matter what ridiculous reason one might pull out of their arse.

    Maybe you could be just a little more condescending next time.

  4. Why? on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 0

    I know I'm a complete n00b, but why would anyone even bother to do this? I just don't get it.

  5. Re:old employer on What Bizarre IT Setups Have You Seen? · · Score: 0

    Showoff.

  6. Re:Cabletron UPS wiring fiasco on What Bizarre IT Setups Have You Seen? · · Score: 0

    DOH! If ever a story was deserving of one.

  7. what a pain on Should JavaScript Get More Respect? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Xerox is developing entire interactive websites consisting entirely of Javascript and my company has been unlucky enough to have to use one of them to access our book cover PDF proofs for approval on a printer's web site. I'm sure they had good intentions, but man, it's such a royal pain in the ass to use. I'm sure they think it's making our job easier, but I for one don't like it. Just let me click a link to download the proof and check a box to send an automated approval email. Waiting for pages to load because they are so unwieldy is not my idea of a good time, or efficient use of my good time either.

  8. The worm has turned. on Consumer Technologies Driving IT · · Score: 0

    This happened when when broadband became widely available to consumers. My network is, and has been for some time, faster at home than at work. This creates the shift in the online technology playing field. Developers aren't stupid. Well, not all of them anyway.

  9. Since it won't show up in the tags... on MySQL Quietly Drops Support For Debian Linux [UPDATED] · · Score: 0
    ...like whenever something negative about Windows gets posted, I'll have to do it in a post.

    > haha

    Apparently fewer and fewer people are actually giving a shit about linux. It's called thinning the herd. Natural Selection. Get over it.

  10. Not sure why it's here but... on Online Store to Sue Blogger Over Google Ranking? · · Score: 0

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It was worth a good laugh anyway.

  11. Re:And the big deal is...? on The Dutch Kill Analog TV Nationwide · · Score: 0

    You sir, are either a good liar or clueless. HDTV is awesome and is like when I switched from dial-up to broadband. . I can't imagine how I ever survived without it.

  12. The simple truth that we must keep reinforcing... on iTunes Sales 'Collapsing' · · Score: 0

    ...to the corporations is that DRM isn't an option. Fair use is the only option that we as consumers will accept. Of course I'm preaching to the choir. I stopped buying iTunes for that reason alone and I hope that attitude becomes the prevailing notion.

  13. Re:Invest in yourself. Assume no one else will. on Advice For Programmers Right Out of School · · Score: 0

    I don't know anything about daytime television, but GO DOLPHINS!!

  14. Re:Invest in yourself. Assume no one else will. on Advice For Programmers Right Out of School · · Score: 0

    Yes. They made me too calm and pussified. Like 90% of the dicklicks that post here.

  15. Re:Invest in yourself. Assume no one else will. on Advice For Programmers Right Out of School · · Score: 0

    hehe, that would be cool.

  16. Re:Invest in yourself. Assume no one else will. on Advice For Programmers Right Out of School · · Score: 0

    Yeah, irony. It's a funny thing.

  17. Re:Invest in yourself. Assume no one else will. on Advice For Programmers Right Out of School · · Score: 0, Funny

    Holy shit are you friggin' cynical. Time to drop a Paxil and drink a beer dude. The security and benefits of working in a cubicle farm like us cowards do sure beats living life with an attitude like yours. I guarantee I'm a much happier person than you. Oh, by the way, go fuck yourself asshole.

  18. Like searching for hay in a haystack. on Zero Day Exploit Found in Windows Media Player · · Score: 0

    In all these types of "exploits" it seems as if Mars has to be aligned with Jupiter and the moon has to be rising over Uranus before something really bad can happen. Just more nonsense that 90% of users can ignore. The other 10% probably deserve to get hacked. Risk will always be a part of life. Evolution will keep the herd strong by letting the idiots get eaten/hacked.

  19. STUPID BULLSHIT on Microsoft Issues Zero-Day Attack Alert For Word · · Score: 0

    Seriously. Cut the crap with this silliness. I can't open ANY Word doc? Please. That's just dumb.

  20. It's the parenting stupid. on What's the Problem With US High Schools? · · Score: 0

    Most families have both parents employed full time which is almost a bad example in a sense and also limits the amount of quality time parents can have with kids due to schedules and being tired after a long workday. The kids suffer and end up falling through the cracks as the support mechanisms get weaker and weaker with more and more kids needing support outside the home because they are neglected to some degree, especially when it comes to help with school related work and projects. I think the answer is more sports and extracurricular activities to keep kids interested and requiring them to attend class and maintain a C average to participate.in More money should be devoted to after-school activities to help working parents and also help keep kids off the streets, out of the malls, and ultimately in class.

  21. Ha! Resistance is futile! on Microsoft Taking Heat For Patent Stance · · Score: 0

    'There were some applications I had been thinking about moving to a Microsoft platform, but this has now totally alienated me from Microsoft.'"

    Waaaa! Microsoft is the big bad wolf! Waaaa! Friggin' crybaby.

  22. Please, a little perspective... on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 0

    Could we all just accept the notion that anything Bill O'nutcase spews forth is the opposite of news? Whoever submitted this article should be banned and the Slashot person who approved it should be fired. Seriously.

  23. Raise your hand. on Ares I Rocket Rumored To Be Too Heavy · · Score: 0

    Who here is a rocket scientist and therefore qualified to comment on such matters? Thought so. Sometimes the experts are just that and we should let them be. Everybody's a critic.

  24. Religious does not equal moral and just on Scott Adams Suggests Bill Gates For President · · Score: 0

    You don't need religion to be a moral and just person. As a matter of fact, these days it seems as if you need to NOT have religion to be moral and just. Vote Atheist! IMAGINE.

  25. Ha! on Ballmer Says Linux "Infringes Our Intellectual Property" · · Score: 0

    Busted! Linux geeks are criminals!
