  1. Re:Just change the name on American Red Cross Sued For Using a Red Cross · · Score: 1

    For a very long time "X" was seen as a symbol for christ because of the cross. That's why XMAS was accepted for so long... So, he'd have as much claim to the cross as that stupid little fish

  2. Re:I understand... on American Red Cross Sued For Using a Red Cross · · Score: 5, Funny

    As long as that "X" isn't a red one...

  3. I understand... on American Red Cross Sued For Using a Red Cross · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You have to defend your trademark or lose it. But, come on this is a dog and pony show they WANT to people to look at J&J products and think "oh! the red cross!"

  4. Re:Politicians are whores. on CA Game Bill Struck Down, Governor Vows Appeal · · Score: 1

    My car gets 30 rods to the hogs head and that's the ways I likes it

  5. Re:Don't forget.. on Coping Strategies for Women in IT · · Score: 1

    I'm on call when I want to be and if the company doesn't like it, they can bite my shiny metal ass. Then again, how much of our days are spent on slashdot to have to work "24/7 on call"?

  6. Re:Server "sleep" mode? on EPA Sends Data Center Power Study to Congress · · Score: 1

    Replacing old boxes with blade servers are a nice touch. In mose cases they use far less energy then the previous box, but yes if you have a file server connected to a SANs and its only real reason is for OS there's no need for dual quad cores. But, in the case of say a SQL or IIS/WEB server, you need both horsepower and 24/7 response times. So, a sleep mode wouldn't help you in that case.

  7. Re:Server "sleep" mode? on EPA Sends Data Center Power Study to Congress · · Score: 1

    Most servers run 24/7, so sleep mode would do more harm than good.

  8. Rock concerts on "Crowd Farm" to Collect Energy? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Use the mosh pit to power the amps! the phrase "Behold the power of ROCK" has more meaning now

  9. Re:Appreciation? on Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase Clerks:
    This Job would be great if it wasn't for the Fucking users.

  10. Re:Favorite MST3K Line? on MST3K is Back, Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in. We'll gather at the Roadhouse with our next of kin. And Santa can be our regular Saturday night thing. We'll decorate our barstools and gather round and sing.
    Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas this year! Or we'll tear your throat out and kick you in the ear!
    It's my way or the highway, this Christmas at my ba-ha-haar. I'll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car! I got the word that Santa has been stealing from the till. I think that that right jolly old elf better make out his will, ohh,
    Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas, one and all. And this can be the haziest... This can be the laziest... This can be the Swayziest Christmas of them aaallllllllll!

  11. Re:Editors on Steve Jobs Hates Buttons · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe instead of the also-buffy-hates-vampires dept. it should be from the dept.-of-Redundancy dept.

  12. Re:Do this mean... on Humans Evolved From a Single Origin In Africa · · Score: 1

    Well, kings to you for getting the refrence! The mod system on /. is like a woman. It might love you one second and then slap you the next and expect you to know why. Sometimes though you just have to hold your breath, make the Kevin Smith joke and wait to get smacked.

  13. Re:Do this mean... on Humans Evolved From a Single Origin In Africa · · Score: 0, Troll

    Porch Monkey 4 life... It's okay, We're takin' it back...

  14. Re:Funny on $298 Wal-Mart PC Has OO.org, No Crapware · · Score: 1

    It's more funny that it summary then follows it with the line it has no "crapware". Doesn't having Vista installed kind of say it already does?

  15. Re:Now, on John Knoll on CGI, Tron And 25 Years of Change · · Score: 1

    I watch a lot more Japanese and British content now a days because a lot of the junk being pushed out of hollywood is nothing but CGI foreplay
    Because the Japanese never use CGI in movies. Granted I agree, but Transformers wouldn't nearly be a cool with a guy of a rubber suit.
  16. Re:Who is this guy? on Uri Geller Accused of Bending Copyright Law · · Score: 1

    I'm sure he'd tell you to bite his shiny metal bending ass

  17. Easy case on Arrest Under New NY Anti-Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    I'm mean, more than a he-said-she-said. They have pretty good video evidence right?

  18. It's not a bug... on Blackberry "Spy" Software Released · · Score: 1

    It's a feature.
    9 times out of 10 I can't think of a reason to want to hear ANYTHING my users say let alone why anyone else would.

  19. Re:Passwords on iPhone Root Password Hacked in Three Days · · Score: 5, Funny

    More secure than Microsoft whose default passwords are usually blank.

  20. Re:Slam on government? on Captain America Buried in Arlington National Cemetary · · Score: 1

    Sort of like the "death" of Superman? How many people bought that issue just to have his ass come back from the death three issues later in 5 different forms. It would not suprise me if what made Cap somehow is able to bring him back from the dead when a new president is elected and this current phobia of meta-humans is over in the Marvel universe

  21. Mr. Pot this is Mr. Kettle on PopCap Distressed Over 'CopyCat' Games · · Score: 0, Redundant

    He'd like to tell you you're black...

  22. Ironic on France Bans BlackBerries In Govt. On Fears of Spying · · Score: 3, Funny

    Officials at the presidential Elysee Palace and the prime minister's office were not immediately available for comment.
    If they'd of just had their blackberries... oh wait...
  23. My brother may got the smarts on Firstborn Get the Brains · · Score: 1

    But I got the good looks

  24. Re:Bullshit on AO Rating Basically Bans Manhunt 2 From Release · · Score: 2, Informative

    I hate to defend sarcasm, but I was directly referring to the Hollywood Blacklist. This was NOT imposed by the government, but the entertainment industry because of a select few in power. I agree that it's an abhorrent game and children (and adults) should not emulate it in any way. But even if I disagree with what people say, I defend their right to say it. They wanted to ban the game; AO gives them a backdoor to do so without the bad press of the outright ban. Just like how they did not want people to speak propaganda for communism so they got rid of the alleged supporters.

  25. We won't ban you on AO Rating Basically Bans Manhunt 2 From Release · · Score: 1

    We'll just make it so you'll never work in this town again. Wow! Someone call McCarthy!
