  1. Re:Somewhat dubious. on US DTV Patent Royalties Are $24–$40 · · Score: 1

    Consider it your contribution to furthering the human race, which you are doing a crappy job of otherwise.

  2. Re:Because Snapdragon Is an ARM Processor! on Qualcomm Demos Eee PC Running Android OS · · Score: 1

    Windows 2000 runs pretty snappy on an Atom processor.

    I'm using it because Office doesn't come with MSDN anymore.

  3. What did you expect? on Canada's Conference Board Found Plagiarizing Copyright Report · · Score: 1

    What did you expect? After all, they're Canadians!

    You know, the ones that copy DVDs and music with no penalties and say they're paying for it with a "tax" and then they bring their video cameras into the theaters all the time.

    I read it in a report by the Conference Board of Canada!

  4. Re:"functional programming languages can beat C" on World's "Fastest" Small Web Server Released, Based On LISP · · Score: 1

    I will prove that anything written in a higher-level language will not be as fast as my implementation of it in ASM. I leave this challenge out to anyone to take. (*)

  5. Cut & Paste on Wine Project Frustration and Forking · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that. I copy an image in Firefox native and I cannot paste it in PhotoFiltre under Wine on my daughter's Ubuntu box.

  6. Exactly... on Students, the Other Unprotected Lab Animals · · Score: 1
  7. Re:Remind me again on Malware Found On Brand-New Windows Netbook · · Score: 1

    And in XP SP3. It's kind of annoying because I like running my PortableApps menu automatically when I insert my USB drive.

  8. Re:Flash used to be fun! on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 1

    You forgot NO support on 64-bit platforms.

    WTHeck. Shows what Slashdot knows about Christians...

  10. Re:AdSweep on Google Releases Chrome V2.0 · · Score: 0, Troll

    So, the dangerous scripts still run but they aren't shown to me?

    Uh, no thanks, I'll wait for NoScript.

  11. Re:Nonsense. on Space Station Crew Drinks Recycled Urine · · Score: 1

    I have flat feet and I'm weak, you insensitve clod!

  12. Re:I wonder on Toshiba Sues Over DVD Patents · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's why Toshiba should Open HD-DVD and allow royalty-free use everywhere.

  13. Further proof on Rotten Office Fridge Cleanup Sends 7 To Hospital · · Score: 1

    Further proof that AT&T stinks...

  14. Re:Crackfix please on Windows 7 RCs Shut Down To Force Updates · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just install Office 2000 and leave a copy of Word open. No Windows system can shut down then.

  15. Re:I hope on Virgin American In-Flight Internet Review, From In-Flight · · Score: 1

    So connect 30,000 feet down to your home PC across town to their PC and back up 30,000 feet.

    See, no problem.

  16. Like this one? on Microsoft Bans VoIP, Rival Stores At Mobile Market · · Score: 1
  17. Re:creationists on Nuclear Testing Helps Identify Fake Vintage Whiskey · · Score: 1

    It won't work. They usually don't drink whiskey either.

  18. Re:Does not address core problem on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 1

    Despite the common thinking on Slashdot, maybe you should try reading the Bible. Being the world's bestselling self-help book for 2000 years, apparently a lot of people are finding something in there that's worthwhile.

    I would tell you that churches can be a great support group that many people lack, but with the background you've already shared, you need to be careful to find an understanding church, if you decide to go that route.

    Good luck finding peace in your life. This is not flippant, I truly wish you well.

  19. Wake me up when... on Flu Models Predict Pandemic, But Flu Chips Ready · · Score: 0

    Has a US Citizen died yet? NO?!? Not a single one? Then isn't all this talk about closing stuff down and declaring martial law just a little bit premature?

  20. Re:What about win 9x or even dos vm in windows 7 on Windows 7 To Include "Windows XP Mode" · · Score: 2, Funny

    You know, they could use VMWare or VirtualBox, but this would require the educators to LEARN something.

  21. Re:review of Gnome, or Ubuntu? on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    And for business, no Microsoft Access.

  22. Re:Isn't it strange on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    You suck. I routinely got at least 624. You forgot to turn off shadow memory for the C and E paragraphs in the BIOS and then load a couple things up in there.

  23. Re:screenshots? on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Obviously your business doesn't deal with anyone running Access, which every business I have programmed at has required.

    He's just a big born-again right wing religious wack job

    Hate much?

  25. Re:DVDFab on Decent DVD-Ripping Solution For Linux? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you talking about DVD Rippers or FFMPEG and Mencoder?

    It took me 3 days to find a set of parameters that would let me process the weird Quicktime format from my digital camera and be able to play it on my PS3 and DirecTV DVR.

    Device profiles, anyone?
