  1. So what was the crime??? on Indiana Man Gets 8 Months For Teaching How To Beat Polygraph Tests · · Score: 1

    So if he didn't tell his students to not reveal his teachings and methods, then it would have been legal?

  2. Where it counts... on The Steady Decline of Unix · · Score: 1

    Websites, databases, firewalls, DNS, application server, file-servers - most businesses run some form of UNIX or Linux. And wouldn't dare think otherwise. This article is stupid. I work for a company where we would literally lose millions for every reboot of certain mission critical servers. UNIX ain't going nowhere.

  3. City of Heroes will be missed. on NCSoft Closes "City of Heroes" Publisher Paragon Studios · · Score: 1

    6+ year CoX player.
    Played almost exclusively in Ubuntu Linux/wine
    Numerous level 50+ toons.
    Thousands of badges.
    Humongous Hero bases w/ teleports to most zones, storage, etc.
    Almost orphaned 3 teen kids, widowed 1 wife. :-)
    Good times.
    Guess I'll log for a few last times before the end.
    ...Sigh.

  4. It will be called... on Apple Planning To Build Private Restaurant · · Score: 1

    ... Circle Jerks Thank you.

  5. I want one of these! on Ask Slashdot: Is a Home Drone Feasible? · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Dear Microsoft.. on Ballmer Hints At 'Metro-ization' of Office · · Score: 1

    Not me. Ubuntu FTW!

  7. Gates as Borg? Still? on Ballmer Hints At 'Metro-ization' of Office · · Score: 1

    WTF?!? Still with the "Gates as Borg" icon? How long has Ballmer been in charge of MS now? I'm no fan either, but you have to admit his ball head makes a better Borg. He looks like a Borg without implants.

  8. Re:the Most Influential Programming Book? on What Is the Most Influential Programming Book? · · Score: 1

    I LOL'd! Thanks!

  9. Re:I must be old... on Russian Media Link Moscow Bombing With Modern Warfare 2 Scene · · Score: 1

    Same thing here. When I ask the squirts at Gamestop if they have any AC titles, they think I'm talking about Assassin's Creed. Armored Corps FTW!

  10. WoSC had better be in the works... on World of StarCraft Mod Gets C&D From Blizzard · · Score: 1

    Or I'll have C & D their asses "with a nuclear launch detected". Shit! "They'll never know what hit 'em!"

  11. No resemblence, whatsoever. on Apple Forces Steve Jobs Action Figure Off eBay · · Score: 1

    One looks like a complete douchebag. The other is a bobble-headed action figure.

  12. Re:Noah, etc on A Lost Civilization Beneath the Persian Gulf? · · Score: 1

    Right, the cities are still intact. They're just under 500 ft. of water.

  13. Seriously... on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 1

    The Bill Gates as Borg icon needs to be changed to Ballmer as Borg. Its way past time.

  14. Re:Little difference? on Scientists Propose One-Way Trips To Mars · · Score: 1

    Given the size of the prison population is but a mere fraction of the general population, I'm guessing there would be waaaaaaaaaaaay more free citizens willing to sign-up for that one-way ride. I, for one, would leave my very lucrative IT job in minute if I were green-lighted that mission. I know a lot of of people that would sign up. My only concern is that my family would be taken care of financially.

  15. Re:Little difference? on Scientists Propose One-Way Trips To Mars · · Score: 1

    Can I have your UID? Or do they have internet access on Mars?

  16. Re:Google ... on Where Do I Go Now That Oracle Owns OpenOffice.org? · · Score: 1

    As quaint as it is, some companies, like mine, prohibit the storage of the company's documents on external sites, such as Google.

  17. Uh, maybe nowhere? on Where Do I Go Now That Oracle Owns OpenOffice.org? · · Score: 1

    Oracle has owned Sun since the April '09 announcement. OpenOffice is still free. So what's your major gripe with it? Until Oracle starts charging for it, I will continue to use it. By the way, Oracle also owns Java and MySQL, so I hope you never have to use those products, either.

  18. Re:who? what? on JooJoo Tablet Dies, Fusion Garage Continues On · · Score: 1

    This is /. You must be new here.

  19. Re:I'd rather make peanuts telecommuting on IT's Last Hope — a Job In the Boonies? · · Score: 1

    "Hey man, if you can't taste the chlorine, how do you know it's clean?!?"

    The lack chlorine, maybe? I'd rather taste the grit of sand and charcoal in my water.

  20. I didn't RTFA, but... on Huge Shocker — 3D TVs Not Selling · · Score: 1

    Maybe it has something economy? Or that most people have just recently upgraded to HD sets from SD and view 3D as a gimicky trick to buy a new HD set? Oh and the content is not there to justify the purchase of a new 3D set.

  21. Re:How Blade Runner on Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011 · · Score: 1

    I LOLed! Awesome!

  22. Re:For a day? on Local Newspapers Use F/OSS For a Day · · Score: 1

    That's funny. The Gimp is only tool I use for any of my graphics work, simple or hard.

  23. Re:AO-who? on VLC 1.1 Forced To Drop Shoutcast Due To AOL Anti-OSS Provision · · Score: 1

    Because the writers there practically cum all over themselves whenever Apple releases new hardware and software. You'd think they were all paid shills with all the circle-jerking.

  24. Re:Not the first and not the last on VLC 1.1 Forced To Drop Shoutcast Due To AOL Anti-OSS Provision · · Score: 1

    Fuck AOL with beans! That's for all the floppy disk and CD-Rom spam they clogged up my real mailbox with.
    Jeez, I thought they were dead a long time ago after the failed merger with Time-Warner. I know the merger actually happened, but Time-Warner got the short-end of that deal.

  25. Re:Security through obscurity? on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    IDK man. Have you seen some of our women? They're fucking hott!
