  1. irregardless on Anonymous Knocks Out Ministry of Sound Website · · Score: 1

    Heck, what does "irregardless" mean? Multiple negatives in one word is too much for my brain...

  2. PCs last longer on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 3, Insightful

    PCs now last longer, since the exploding capacitor problem was solved. The result is a dip in sales of new machines and therefore a dip in whatever new junkware comes with new PCs...

  3. GPL on Software Theft a Problem For Actual Thieves, Too · · Score: 4, Funny

    If the author of Zeus published it under the GPL, then this would never have happened!

  12. Re:Catch-22: the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade on JPL Scientists Take NASA To the Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Oh, fuck in hell. I grew up in a Christian Nationalist State - with religious freedom (go figure). That meant in practise that you had to subscribe to a religion and even when checking into a hospital, you had to state your religion and it had to be one on The List, and 'none of the above' or god forbid, 'atheist', wasn't on The List. The safest course was to pay suitable homage to the god favoured by the majority, so when I served in the army, I went to the largest christian church on the base every Sunday. Sigh...

  18. Only if all desktops run Linux on Are Desktop Firewalls Overkill? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

  25. Re:Or the US could just use a paper and pencil on Public Clearinghouse Proposed For Evoting Failures · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but if you want Americans to count their votes by hand like in Canada, then you got to start by fixing their public school system so that the people can actually count and then wait 60 years for them to get into the old age homes so they can be used to do the counting, so the next election could only be in 2070. I think that they would be rather tired of Obama by then...
