  1. Re:Lawyers represent their clients on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Now that Obama chooses the cream of the crop, suddenly these guys are somehow no good?

    They were RIAA scum. Obama picking them has nothing to do with them being considered no good.

  2. I call her Jan on What Do You Call People Who "Do HTML"? · · Score: 1

    Jan the Secretary.

    Seriously, companies hire people *just* to do this stuff?

  3. Re:3rd party in background means malware... on iPhone Jailbreaking Still Going Strong · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Windows Mobile devices have had applications running in the background for ages and there have not been outbreaks of infections preventing people from dialing 911. Android phones are also very open and lack such absurd restrictions.

    Enough with the strawmen arguements and just come to grips with the fact that sometimes Apple puts their business interests before the consumer.

    Yes, that's right. You are being restricted for your own good!

    It must be nice to be so naive...

    does Ubuntu of 2009 run on the machine of 2003?
    From personal experiance, yes. Quite nicely too.

    How much does an Ubuntu upgrade cost?
    Nothing.

    an you hire somebody to fix bugs in your 2003 version of Ubuntu?
    If you want commercial support I'd suggest you look into RHEL, in which case yes you can.

    Can you get "new" copies of your 2003 Ubuntu and install them on new machines?
    Yes of course, the real question is why in the world would you want to?

    I think you are a crazy person ;)

  7. You know on YouTube Symphony Orchestra Set To Debut At Carnegie Hall · · Score: 1

    I must say, the kid sounds pretty damn good.

  8. Re:Jurisdiction on Climate Engineering As US Policy? · · Score: 1

    It's not fair to lump DDT in there with the rest of those. DDT literally prevented millions of people worldwide from dying from malaria.

  9. Re:But... on Researcher's Death Hampers TCP Flaw Fix · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Both sides were Americans, that's why we call it the American Civil War.

    Screw off you insensitive clod.

    It should be plenty fine to play a fucking video.

    Republicans telling voters to vote honestly? Unlikely.

  13. Re:Oh man... on Konami Announces a Game Based On a 2004 Battle In Fallujah · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If Fallujah is ok we should have a gas chamber game. You go around in a big truck and kill thousands of jews...

    Please do not downplay the sevarity of the holocaust to such extremes. Millions of jews were killed and you are doing history and society a great disservice in attempting to compare it to something as relatively tame as Fallujah.

    The best I've seen is: "Bomb her womb with your man cannon." My friends and I had some good laughs with that one.

    It's a brit thing, think "dumb" or "stupid". It became something of a slashdot phenomenon to tag idle articles 'idleispants' for a while.

    Remind me, which company is currently turning a profit, Red Hat, or Canonical?

    You are clearly not very familar with Red Hat at all so I'll let you in on a little secret. Red Hat is not making their money on desktop installs.

    What if some 40 year old pervert convinces another girl online to take pictures of herself? Clearly the 40 year old is the offender and the 13 year old girl is the victim. Or do you honestly believe that the 13 year old is guilty too?
