  1. More accurate headline on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 1

    Convicted Felon Ted Stevens Fails to be Re-Elected in Alaska

  2. Re:Please Read _Speaker_! on Ender in Exile · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I tried getting into _Speaker_, but the fact that it left no positive impression on me after two full reads tells me that it's not a well-written book.

  3. Re:Dooooooooop! on The Sounds of Failing Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    "[Citation needed]."

    Try Google. It's this awesome new search engine that provides facts when you enter the right search terms.

  4. Re:Dooooooooop! on The Sounds of Failing Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    1. You may want to check your drive history, because you're mistaken.
    2. It turns out links on this internet thingy can be updated, rendering that part of the conversation moot.
    3. Updated dupe links are still dupes, and
    4. My point stands.

  5. Re:Dooooooooop! on The Sounds of Failing Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Why wouldn't they?

  6. Dooooooooop! on The Sounds of Failing Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    This link was almost as interesting as it was the first time it was posted on Slashdot, 3-4 years ago.

  7. Yeah, sure on Judge Orders White House To Produce Wiretap Memos · · Score: 3, Informative

    I predict it will play out something like similar demands have in the past:

    GWB: Fuck you.
    Federal judge: Yes sir. Sorry to have bothered you.

  8. Screw the economy on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    After everything else that's happened in the last disastrous 8 years, I don't care who gets in office--as long as it's not a republican. And save your replies telling me how the democrats aren't much better because I already know that. The sad fact is, it's going to be one of the two.

  9. Subject on Should You Break TOS Because Work Asks You? · · Score: 1

    Sure thing. Your boss sounds like the kind of ethical guy who would accept the consequences of any illegal or unethical actions, and he totally wouldn't let you take the fall for it instead.

    Oh, and can I interest you in a timeshare? A bridge, perhaps? How about some prime Louisiana real estate?

  10. Re:Subject on For 3 Years, Scammers Ran Truckless Trucking Company · · Score: 1

    Oops. I did RTFA, but no one told me I also had to pay attention to what it said...

  11. Subject on For 3 Years, Scammers Ran Truckless Trucking Company · · Score: 1

    So the two scammers made $500K over 3 years, from which they had to pay other trucking companies for the work. This strikes me as a massively inefficient and stupid scam.

  12. Re:Am I the only one that sees the real problem he on Court Rules That Palin Must Save Yahoo Emails · · Score: 1

    "Quite literally"

    How do you go about placing freedom on an actual table?

  13. Subject on Fuel Efficiency and Slow Driving? · · Score: 1

    Maybe in your area someone going 30 in a 45 zone is trying to save gas, but here it's just another idiot looking for a particular street to turn down.

  14. Subject on NSA Whistleblowers Reveal Extent of Eavesdropping · · Score: 1

    US Government overstepping its authority and trampling on rights? Gasp!

    Slashdot: News for people who haven't been paying attention. Stuff that surprises no one.

  15. e-stampede on Virtual Fence Could Modernize the Old West · · Score: 1

    "Git along, little [*static*]"

  16. Re:Moral of the story? on Man Uses Remote Logon To Help Find Laptop Thief · · Score: 1

    The other moral of the story is "don't leave your expensive laptop unattended on the roof of your car."

  17. Re:Digg? Inaccurate? on Debunking the Google Earth Censorship Myth · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But with fewer dupes.

    I'd say the main difference is that a much higher percentage of digg posters are raving morons, while Slashdot has more refined trolls.

  18. Subject on Thomson Reuters Sues Over Open-Source Endnote-Alike Zotero · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not that I'll ever be likely to use this extension, but: *Archived*!

  19. Re:IANAL on Jack Thompson Disbarred · · Score: 1

    The court should offer to suspend his fine for as long as he prefaces everything he writes with "IANAL, but [...]"

  20. Re:Wha? on Run Mac OS X On Non-Apple Hardware, With a Dongle · · Score: 1

    My Inspiron 6400 running OSX 10.4 begs to differ.

  21. Wha? on Run Mac OS X On Non-Apple Hardware, With a Dongle · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to spend $155 on a useless dongle when you can run OSX natively on your PC hardware?

  22. Re:The real reason... on Comcast Discontinues Customers' USENET Service · · Score: 1

    Usenet has been the "new" illegal filesharing tool since the day the alt hierarchy was created, newbie.

  23. Subject on Microsoft Uses "I'm a PC" Character In New Ads · · Score: 1

    Slashdot: News for people who enjoy Microsoft advertisements. Stuff you could see on TV instead.

  24. Subject on Software Spots Spin In Political Speeches · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Perhaps I missed it, so could someone kindly point out where the New "Scientist" article quantified "spin"? Thanks in advance.

  25. Re:No, Windows Server 2008 is NOT a server OS. on Unholy Matrimony? Microsoft and Cray · · Score: 1

    "Yes, that's a personal ideological statement, not a supported statement of fact."

    I guess my point that HPC Server 2K8 is a server OS stands, then. Whether you like it or not--and even whether it's any good at what it was designed to do--is completely irrelevant.
