  1. It's Scott! on Canadian Mint Claims Rights To Words "One Cent" · · Score: 1

    Cartman: Who's that? Canadian: It's Scott. (He works at the mint.) He's a d1ck.

  2. Option #202 on What To Do When Broadband is Not An Option? · · Score: 1

    Easy, Install a Wireless node/repeater at the top of the hill...

  3. Arrrr! on The Wiimote As Yoda Intended - A Lightsaber · · Score: 1

    Avast! I can hardly wait to smite you scallywags and keelhaul ya'.

  4. Diablo II - The secret cow level.... on The 50 Weirdest Moments in PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    The first time I played the "secret cow level" in Diablo II, I almost fell off my chair laughing.

    The halberd wielding cows chasing you going mooo!! was hilarious.

    If you hearded them together, you could use the exploding corpse spell to virutually annihilate them.

  5. Re:At least they have adequate legal representatio on Golfer Sues Over Vandalized Wikipedia Entry · · Score: 1

    Anti-Trend,

    Fuzzy is from very near my home town. He is a fine man and not the type of person you claim. Professional golfers make most of their money through endorsements and not by winning at golf (though this does help!). It's not too hard to imagine that such defamatory remarks could, in fact, harm him financially. I think he has good reason to sue the person responsible.

    Your opinion, that this might not be the most productive way to clean up a tarnished image, may have some merit. The manner in which you asserted it reveals that you are the "utterly infantile" person in this conversation.

  6. I like Isaac Asimov 's interpretation better.... on New Universes Will be Born from Ours · · Score: 5, Interesting
  7. You Selfish Bastards! on Richest 2% Own Half the World's Wealth · · Score: 0, Troll

    I hope you all realize that most Slashdot readers (being tech geeks) will fall into this top 2% figure eventually? Most of the world is dirt poor. Is that my fault? Fuck no its not. These people have to raise themsleves out of poverty. If the government is holding them down, then they need to do something about that as well. A LOT of people died fighting for what we have. We do not need to feel guilty about it. The person who wrote this article is probably a commie asshat.

  8. Alternate Suggestion on Active Noise-Canceling Headsets In Server Rooms? · · Score: 1

    You could take some action to improve the acoustics of the server room itself. For example, sound absorbing ceiling and wall tiles, rugs, and sound deadening panels. Putting the panels on wheels allows you to move them and create quieter work zones inside the datacenter as needed.

  9. RIAA is too Greedy. on Judge OKs Challenge To RIAA's $750-Per-Song Claim · · Score: 1

    I think this just shows that the RIAA's policy of running thousands of cases at a time is causing them to be sloppy. I give this tactic about another year. After that, there will be enough case law to make prosecuting these cases unprofitable for RIAA.

  10. Re:Good timing on Rumsfeld Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    I was going to suggest this myself. If I had any mod points you'd get one.

  11. Re:The sad thing is... on Rumsfeld Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    Warriors do what they do. Sometimes that means they die. The military wanted this fight just as badly as the Bush administration did.

    In the end, the military will consider the whole affair a first class training opportunity. A battle tested and hardened army is a very very valuable thing.

  12. Re:Will monitors look into this? on More Voting Shenanigans in Florida · · Score: 1

    Your tinfoil hat is crooked. Super glue works best.

  13. Re:Excellent! on More Voting Shenanigans in Florida · · Score: 1

    Yes, my plan to sell millions of tin-foil h.....er....ummm.

  14. Re:Sackings on Lego Christmas Production Shortage · · Score: 1

    Yet again, we appologize, those responsible for sacking the people who had just been sacked, have been sacked. The remaining business will be managed by 10,000 llamas.

  15. Re:Too floppy on Cringely's Shameless Self-Promotion · · Score: 1

    10,000 RPM should do it.

  16. Red Dot on When Stallman is Attacked · · Score: 1

    Is that a red dot next to you?

  17. Re:ultra technical crack of ipod/itunes on iPod Cracked, But Does it Matter? · · Score: 1

    Hey! That was my "SupaSecret" DRM hack.

    You owe me $1,000,000 for violating my IP on violating IP.

  18. Obligatory Post... on Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why is it looking at my butt? Talk about invasion of privacy!

  19. Re:So is this... on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Our Democracy is not perfect. It never has been. We do however have a free press and a legal system that allows this kind of thing to be addressed. Last point, show me a better system or shut up.

  20. There's more than corn in Indiana...... on 22,000 Indiana Students Using Linux Desktops · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've lived in Indiana most of my life and I can tell you that, under our current governor, this is all about money. Most of our public schools are terribly underfunded. The motivation to save money anywhere possible is what is driving the Linux migration. Anyone want to lease a tollroad?

    Indiana has been making steady progress in transforming itself into a center of technology innovation. Some of the largest companies in the world are based in Indiana and the military technology sector in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne is unbelieveable. Pharma, Def-Tech, Orthopedics, etc. Indiana is a leader in all these fields.

    Yes, we do grow corn here and a lot of it!

    BTW, we've been trying to give the Gary region near Chicago to Illinois for years but, they won't take it. So it's currently available for anyone wanting to take over the payments....

  21. Already Debated and Decided... on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    at the constitutional convention! This gets brought up every couple of years and will never get rattified by the states. The electoral college is about making sure the smaller states get proper representation. It's up to the states to determine how their electors should (not must) vote. A couple of states split their electors proportionally. The vast majority of states go with an all or nothing approach. Both methods are constitutional.

  22. One of my own.... on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1

    While performing maintenance on our VMS system, I discovered that a number of users where using the DECnet software to store personal files on the server. So I sent a politely worded email to the entire user base (100 or so users). I noted that the personal use of the server resources was not allowed and asked everyone to kindly remove their files from my server. At the end of the message I volunteered that anyone who was having problems with not having enough personal disc space should contact me personally for assistance. Unfortunately, I misspelled the word "disc", replacing it instead with the word "D!@k". The first call I recieved was from the general manager of the company...

  23. Free market factor..... on Google Fires Off Warning to US Telcos · · Score: 1

    Being able to charge for QoS will bring more (telco) players to the table which will drive down the costs of any bandwidth charges. Remember supply and demand anyone? In the mean time, the Internet TV and movie broadcasters won't be screwing us all by hogging up every available bps. Let's face it folks, the Internet doesn't build itself. We pay for it (ultimately). I do think that any QoS surcharges need to be capped and regulated to prevent abuse.
