  1. Re:sheeple on BSkyB To Launch 3D TV Service In 2010 · · Score: 1

    And what about all those ignorant bastards who read broadsheet newspapers?

    If it weren't for The Sun's ability to "innovate liek" I'd be forced to give up on news and read /. all day.

  2. Re:Linus on Alan Cox Quits As Linux TTY Maintainer — "I've Had Enough" · · Score: 1

    Perhaps there was a decimal error on your IQ score?

    (yes thank you I knew they were integers)

  3. Re:Yeah right on Northern Sea Route Through Arctic Becomes a Reality · · Score: 2, Funny

    That was pretty clever, but all I could think of was some astronomical vet snapping on rubber gloves.

  4. Re:Actually the spammers have already started that on Fake News Scam Sites Advertising On Real News Sites · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thanks for the info, just started this 3 weeks ago. I've gotten 2 checks for a total of $1900, pretty cooll.

  5. Re:Theora sucks a nut on Concrete Comparisons of Theora Vs. Mpeg-4 · · Score: 1

    What does that look like? A two-dimensional space, in 3-space...

    But really, seconded. I keep thinking it's a particle.

    To continue on this train of thought, where is my Large AnonymousCowardon Collider?

  6. Re:Last years ultra-portable is this year's thin.. on Ultra-Thin Laptops To Be Next Intel-AMD Battleground · · Score: 1

    or less dense?

  7. Re:And? on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 2, Funny

    AC, you are a man(?) of many talents.

  8. Re:Very Misleading Title for the Topic on Does the Linux Desktop Innovate Too Much? · · Score: 1

    What about the misunderstanding that "English" has come to mean (in America ofc.) American English.

    Kleenex and Xerox are brand names everywhere but America, and not even ubiquitous there.

    It's a colloquialism, not a real word.

  9. Re:Firefox extension source? on Sothink Violated the FlashGot GPL and Stole Code · · Score: 1

    Really?

    The script part is a hint that you leave the source and let it get interpreted at runtime.

  10. Re:Cue the other subjects on A Mathematician's Lament — an Indictment of US Math Education · · Score: 1

    We are getting on just fine in Ireland thanks!

  11. Re:Several Proxies on A Mathematician's Lament — an Indictment of US Math Education · · Score: 1

    Pi is "3" if you use (pi/3) as your number base, you insensitive clod.

  12. Re:Rather not. on Wikipedia To Add Video · · Score: 1

    Your point is true but narrow.

    Lots of "real" companies don't maximise profit. See the Oligopoly model for this.

  13. Re:Quick, extend this law to Tetris on German Parliament Enacts Internet Censorship Law · · Score: 1

    No tetris blocks are like that.

    Please leave my internet.

  14. Re:Understatement on Why a Hard Disk Is a Better Bargain Than an SSD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Only an idiot would buy either of those products.

    Or an "irrational consumer" to use the technical term.

    Their price does not justify their benefit. RAID etc.

    Especially in an article about "bargains".

  15. Re:Lick my on A Visual Expedition Inside the Linux File Systems · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who types this?

    But really I would like a visual expedition into the mind of whoever writes slashcode these days. I'm not even going to get started on UTF-8 support though. My problem is "Anonymous Cowardon". Latest Firefox stable shows no space between the two names (there is one, it's just tiny). It looks stupid, please fix.

    I'd attach a screenshot, but I'd know better than to click on a link replying to a troll myself so you'll just have to imagine if your browser can render it correctly.

  16. Re:repeat of ogg? on YouTube, HTML5, and Comparing H.264 With Theora · · Score: 1

    My ipod plays ogg, but I prefer FLAC.

    Just because the guy across the road plays wmvz on his Zune doesn't make your music sound worse.

    How often do you buy a new player anway? Every other year maybe?

  17. Re:what is going on ? on Iran Moves To End "Facebook Revolution" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe that's just what the liberal left-wing media wants you to think!

    Ahmedninjad would hardly have won an election if he was a power-hungry lunatic, would he?

  18. Re:I disagree that Open Source is like Science on What Open Source Shares With Science · · Score: 1

    While making a whooshing sound?

  19. Re:Synergy, leverage, low hanging fruit, etc.. on Are Code Reviews Worth It? · · Score: 1

    It was, until he overrid the buffer that contained it.

    Van Der Graph generator.

    I am not familiar with this graph.

  21. Re:Oh the horror!! on Wolfram Alpha Rekindles Campus Math Tool Debate · · Score: 1

    I don't know how many dimensions you play tetris in but a d6 does me.

  22. Re:DRM on DRM Group Set To Phase Out "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    where's that?

  23. Re:Wait what? on EC To Pursue Antitrust Despite Microsoft's IE Move · · Score: 1

    It wasn't an attack, just what I thought when I read it.

    Maybe a writing Nazi with a UID lower than mine will weigh in.

  24. Re:Wait what? on EC To Pursue Antitrust Despite Microsoft's IE Move · · Score: 1

    Lern 2 LaT1n

    But really, it will detract from the power of your argument if you incorrectly use things which would otherwise appear fancy.

    De facto might be a better fit.

    Also you should learn economics so that you do understand.

    I hope I've helped.

  25. Re:DRM on DRM Group Set To Phase Out "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    I thought real man's entertainment was ignoring good points made by others in order to complain about their lack of nescessary apostrophe.
