  1. Re:A point to note on Scientology Tries To Block German Documentary · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or in the words of Kennedy, "Ich bin ein Anonymer."

  2. "Defamatory" on Scientology Tries To Block German Documentary · · Score: 4, Funny

    Network denies that Until Nothing Remains depicts group as totalitarian and unethical

    Why would they need to deny that? It's a documentary, that's the point.

  3. Re:whaaa on SCO Asked O'Gara To Smear Groklaw · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hey, I got an idea: If they renamed themselves to WHAA, they'd fit right in with the rest of the litigious copyright posse!

  4. Re:Zombie SCO on SCO Asked O'Gara To Smear Groklaw · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just nuke it from orbit.

  5. Oh crap on Nearby Star Forecast To Skirt Solar System · · Score: 1

    We're all going to die in 1.5 million years!

  6. Re:sunspots on Scientists Need Volunteers To Look At the Sun · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Burn out your retina FOR SCIENCE! :P

  7. We are learning valuable things on Zeus Botnet Down But Not Out · · Score: 1

    When SkyNet comes, we will know how to fight it!

  8. Tip for anticipating server load on William Shatner Takes On Social Networking · · Score: 1

    If a server can't cope with being linked to on Slashdot, it is not suitable for serving a social network site.

    Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

  9. Re:Why is the wii controller even mentioned? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    Well, clearly, it's not the irresponsible gun owner but the Evil Game Industry that is at fault here for making toys that look like the kind of gun a parent would leave lying around near his kid.

    Clearly, if we just ban video games, nobody would get shot! Doesn't it make perfect sense?

  10. Re:6 million spam messages? on Man Threatened Spam Attack In $200,000 Extortion Plot · · Score: 1

    Tuesday afternoon. :P

  11. Re:qutrits? on Theoretical Breakthrough For Quantum Cryptography · · Score: 1

    As Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary notes,

    the same abbreviational logic that turned "binary digit" into "bit" turned "trinary digit" into "tit." This nomenclatural error set computing back nearly three hundred years, and two entire generations of promising computer scientists were lost trying to keep abreast of bad puns.

  12. Here we are again on PayPal Freezes Cryptome's Account · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... didn't this just happen to Wikileaks?

  13. Patent application on Vivek Kundra On US Government Inefficiency · · Score: 1

    And here I thought at least a few seconds of those three years went into actually reviewing the validity of the patent claims.

    This explains a few things.

  14. "Thanks for the good times IE6" on Microsoft Sends Flowers To Internet Explorer 6 Funeral · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Oh yeah... good times, good times.

  15. So now it's "Ubisoft Awful Anti-Pirate System..." on Ubisoft's New DRM Cracked In One Day · · Score: 1

    ...that is utterly worthless to boot.

  16. Re:A Clockwork Orange on Using Classical Music As a Form of Social Control · · Score: 1

    Well, try to tell them that about 1984.

  17. Re:What Happens When ... on Privacy With a 4096 Bit RSA Key — Offline, On Paper · · Score: 1

    Depending on the pixel size and the quality of the scanner, that shouldn't be a problem.

    In any case, this is probably a better idea than storing it on RFID for the obvious security reasons... paper isn't long-range readable.

  18. Don't tax me bro, I use Linux on Microsoft VP Suggests 'Net Tax To Clean Computers · · Score: 1

    That'd be like getting an environmental surcharge on riding a bicycle.

    (But hey, I'm tempted to agree with taxing IE/Outlook.)

  19. Re:Status update on US Military Surrenders To Social Media, Changes Access Restrictions · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Facebook Suggestions:

    Reconnect with Osama.
    [Send him a cruise missile!]"

  20. Wait, is there a law against on Microsoft Behind Google Complaints To EC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Using your market share to make your product better?

    It's not the same as what Microsoft has been doing, ie. using their market share on some products to force their other products onto their customers.

  21. Haptic feedback on How Do You Get Users To Read Error Messages? · · Score: 1

    I like to think that my users would remember the error that caused them to get a swift kick in the balls. And if they forgot it anyhow, I could always help them reproduce it.

    That is indeed a tempting thought. Maybe get one of these.

  22. Shareholders voting against the public interest on Unfriendly Climate Greets Gore At Apple Meeting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    one asking Apple to commit publicly to greenhouse gas reduction goals and to publish a formal sustainability report; another proposing that Apple's board establish a sustainability committee. These proposals were rejected by shareholders

    Shareholders Care More About Bottom Line Than Environment.

    Film at 11.

  23. That's unacceptable on Secret Service Runs At "Six Sixes" Availability · · Score: 1

    They should make an effort to get at least NINE sixes. Or more.

  24. That site is dead as a dodo on LG Launches Watch Phone In India · · Score: 2, Informative

    Slashdot has done it again!

  25. Javascript DRM on Aussie Internet Censorship Minister Censors Self · · Score: 1

    The biggest joke here that he's trying to censor himself using client-side scripts.

    But it does show how the "content-control" people think. They're the ones who try to block right-clicking and text selection. In their ideal world, the "content provider" controls the information right up to the moment it enters the "consumer's" eyeballs, and beyond. The digital age and lossless reproduction of information is their greatest nightmare.
