  1. Puzzled on Slashdot Outage Update · · Score: 1

    Sorry, who's this?

  2. Second richest remedy on Bill Gates Just Bought 25,000 Acres in the Arizona Desert (kgw.com) · · Score: 1

    Bit obvious i'd have thought - way to get back to being the richest man on the planet. Get 25K acres in the desert and - METH LAB!!

  3. In the support team by proxy! on Ask Slashdot: What Are The Lesser-Known Roles Of The IT Department? · · Score: 1

    Being cool. I've had admin rights on my own machines at work for years. By demonstration I've shown them that I won't be a nuisance and can be left alone to set up my PC. I'm that trusted that they've given me a brand new OS to live test before they roll it out to the whole company. Its called Windows ME.

  4. Never believe a girlz on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Books You Wish You Had Read Earlier? · · Score: 1

    LOTR. I resisted the recommendation from a girlfriend in the '80s. When I did finally take it up in the early 90's I've read it at least once a year since. A teacher once defined "literature" as something that you got something from every time you read it. Yep.

  5. I remember that, it was termed "Admin Rights".

  6. The randomness is mildly irritating. on Fewer People Are Dying of Cancer Than Ever Before (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah but usually it seems to be people I'm keen on not having dying. Relatives, friends - you know the type. Arsehole dictators and general mongrels seem unrepresented in those stats. Yes, I do realise the sample sizes are different but Fuck Cancer.

  7. Will fall short on North Korea Hopes To Plant Flag On The Moon Within 10 Years (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Best Korea talks a good launch but on recent history the shot will end up in the Sea of Japan with the rescued occupants being subsequently executed for fraternising with Japanese fish.

  8. How are they even in business? on Verizon To Disconnect Unlimited Data Customers Who Use Over 100GB/Month · · Score: 1

    I presume Verizon has an "Infinity" plan which maxxes out at 80Gb? The competition must be rubbish (speed, quotas) because surely this sort of "customer service" makes Verizon highly unattractive to consumers?

  9. Simple to defeat on AI Downs 'Top Gun' Pilot In Dogfights (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but can it beat the crow bar from the back of the ute?

  10. Trump right again! on Mars Is Coming Out Of An Ice Age (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Another global warming process that has nothing to do with human activity! When will the sheeple face his reality?

  11. Re:Can an ad be more blatant? on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Doom Story? · · Score: 1

    Yep - Was the catalyst for me to start learning how to tweak underspecced hardware to get games to run faster than a slide show or even at all :-) '95 386SX-25, Cirrus Logic VGA, 2meg RAM 40Meg HDD Still about 5 years behind in hardware :( Made me find PRDOOM and load it on this Linux box though, so there's that :-)

  12. "Rick Deckard to the Service Workshop please....."

  13. Show me the maths or no philosophical arguments can be entered into.

  14. Confusing headline on Siemens and Airbus To Push Electric Aviation Engines (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Why? Wont they go by themselves?

  15. Fredo would approve on Online Ad Czar Berates Adblockers As Freedom-Hating 'Mafia' (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our freedom hating Mafia overlords.

  16. Troll contract is trolling on Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    In these here parts any "request" for assistance would earn a very quick "F*CK OFF MATE!"

  17. It's a documentary stupid! on Explaining Corporate Culture Through "The Office" · · Score: 1

    Yes, with this level of incompetence, it's a wonder that any corporation or government entity is able to run anything.

  18. Why worry?? on Navigating a Geek Marriage? · · Score: 1

    Don't get hung up about it - geek is not a dirty word, and all organisms will have their intersections regardless of different interests. FFS, you are both l337, go with instinct. It is a point of honour never to RTFM.
