  1. Re:Exactly as they want you to think on MPAA Boss Admits SOPA and PIPA Are Dead, Not Coming Back · · Score: 1

    What is dead may never die...

  2. ZERG RUSH!!! on "Exploding" Termite Species Discovered · · Score: 1

    ZERG RUSH!!!

  3. Re:And my car gets 60 MPG going downhill on Comcast Launches Superfast Internet To Fight FiOS · · Score: 1

    So, that's 305Mbps PMPO and 1Mbps RMS right?

  4. Re:the real question on World's Most Powerful x86 Supercomputer Boots Up in Germany · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at the backorders for those lately? It took me 3 months to finally receive my order of 6 BFlabs Singles.

  5. Re:the real question on World's Most Powerful x86 Supercomputer Boots Up in Germany · · Score: 1

    Actually, I was going to say "Could you imagine a Beowulf cluster of those?", although I suppose that would be kind of a "Yo Dawg, I herd you like clusters of clusters" type of comment.

  6. Re:What has your workplace done? on Ask Slashdot: Preempting Sexual Harassment In the Workplace? · · Score: 2

    I couldn't help but notice you left out : 6. Spend all day reading Slashdot

  7. Re:Here we see the difference between Free and Sla on OS X Mountain Lion Review · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "eaten alive by snow leopards, lions and mountain lions"

  8. Re:Not entirely true. on The webOS Features Other OSes Should Steal · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't really know what all the complaints about the webOS Palm phones are about. Paid $30 for an unlocked GSM Palm Pixi Plus and it works swimmingly.

  9. Re:H1-B replacements and outsourcing valuable jobs on President By Day, High-Tech Headhunter By Night · · Score: 1

    You know what will just happen? Companies go on a hiring freeze until the next friendly a*shole politician comes along. In the meantime, folks "fortunate" enough to be employed will be picking up the slack and have your effective hourly rate halved by working 80+ hour weeks.

  10. Re:except on Canadian SOPA Could Target YouTube · · Score: 2

    Fine - we'll apologize for Britney Spears if you apologize for Celine Dion

  11. Re:Spread the word on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 1

    >>Sadly, too many people just want to lay back and be entertained. I think prostitutes have the market cornered on that one...

  12. Re:Wow, you are stupid on Ubisoft Has Windows-Style Hardware-Based DRM For Games · · Score: 1

    WTF are you going on about? All you need to do is flash your X360 DVD drive, download ISOs and play away. WAY simpler than dealing with half-functional PC cracks.

  13. Re:Brilliant! on New CO2 Harvester Could Help Scrub the Air · · Score: 2

    There's just something kinky sounding about this...

  14. Re:Good luck on Stephen Hawking Looking For Personal Techie · · Score: 1

    I don't know what engineering internships you're referring to, but I got paid the equivalent of $65K.

  15. Re:Translation on AMD Confirms Commitment To x86 · · Score: 1

    You're forgetting that the Phenom II is pretty competitive (for the price), whereas the disaster that is Bulldozer isn't. Hell, it can't even beat its predecessor!

  16. Re:Need on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 1

    Bureaucrats are to blame. Hermes Conrad got Spa 5 running so efficiently, that all the labor was being done by 1 Australian man!

  17. Re:Facebook is evil and parasitic on Facebook Settles With FTC, Admits Privacy Violations · · Score: 2

    I mean, we're such losers that even Taco abandoned us :(

  18. Re:Facebook is evil and parasitic on Facebook Settles With FTC, Admits Privacy Violations · · Score: 1

    You're talking to the /. crowd. If we had friends, we wouldn't be here posting / reading.

  19. Re:My interpretation... on Ubisoft Blames Piracy For Non-Release of PC Game · · Score: 1

    You're lucky you posted this as an AC due to how absolutely asinine it is. I imagine most of us have a backlog of games to play, despite our best efforts to the contrary. This also assumes that one does not revisit an older game simply for nostalgia. I have replayed Fallout, Fallout 2, Diablo 2 (with the highres mod), Morrowind, Death Rally, Populous 2 and many more in the last few years.

  20. Re:Lots of interesting angles on Leonardo DiCaprio To Play Alan Turing? · · Score: 1

    I agree with what you posted, except wouldn't he be hacking the Gibson instead?

  21. Rebranding? on OCZ Wants To Cache Your HDD With an SSD · · Score: 1
  22. Best Conversation Ever! on Has Cleverbot Passed the Turing Test? · · Score: 1

    I fed Cleverbot lines from an Oatmeal comic : http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww8/dndisturb/300357_10100258986610720_16925457_48060671_616704987_n.jpg This is how the conversation went : >>Why hello there, good sir! Um my name is Cleverbot kinda of a cool name eh? >>I'm chuffed as nuts to see you looking as humbly jumbly as Her Majesty's watermelons! What planet are you from? >>I remember my days at Oxford. We'd often dabble in a little rumpy pumpy before dingbangling a fresh todger, haha! Oh wow, that would tear me apart to! >>We really knew how to sack the 'ol throbbing wobbly on a saucy twat crumpet! Depends, are you a girl?

  23. Re:Could Not Disagree More on Why We Don't Need Gigabit Networks (Yet) · · Score: 1

    You do realize that's about the best Internet connection type in the US right? DSL sucks, fiber is available everywhere - cable can frequently deliver it's advertised bandwidth (I hit 50mbps regularly without issues).

  24. Don't Worry on Power Demand From US Homes Expected To Fall For a Decade · · Score: 1

    The bitcoin miners will single-handedly reverse the trend

  25. Not Just a Bugtracker on Book Review: JIRA 4 Essentials · · Score: 1

    JIRA is far beyond being just a bugtracker. I implemented a complete EDA service request submission and progress tracking system in it. Quite a fair bit of subtleties involved.
