  1. Re:Pigeons RULE! on Pigeon Turns Out To Be Faster Than S. African Net · · Score: 3, Funny

    Pigeons are a series of tubes.

  2. Re:Pigeons RULE! on Pigeon Turns Out To Be Faster Than S. African Net · · Score: 5, Funny

    For the love of God, just don't try to send any data throgh it's secure socket...

  3. Casual Gamer on GaiKai Beta To Start In Europe "Later This Month" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I assume this is going to be a subscirption type service? I'd love this if you could also use as a pay-as-you-go type of thing. I'm the sort of gamer who doesn't actually finish many games and only plays very infrequently.

  4. Am I missing the point? on The Coming Problems For Rolling Out 3D TV · · Score: 5, Funny

    My TV is already 3D. It goes with my 3D furniture and 3D house.

  5. Re:First Post on A Look Back At Star Raiders · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Interesting fact: If you put all the pointless first posts on slashdot end-to-end, it can strech from here to more than 8K.

  6. Re:Teenagers? on Trapped Girls Call For Help On Facebook · · Score: 3, Funny

    Want a balloon Georgie? They all float down here!

  7. Re:Shame on you Facebook! on Trapped Girls Call For Help On Facebook · · Score: 1

    If I've learned anything from Idiocracy it's that technology ultimately gets in Darwin's way.

  8. Re:Falun Gang on Chinese Censor-Beating Software Resembles Malware, But Isn't · · Score: 1

    when most people hear "Scientology," they think "money-grubbing, murderous, evil bastards."

    Isn't that true of all mass organsied religion?

  9. Re:So.... on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 3, Funny

    An anonymous reader writes

    Those guys never give up. :)

  10. Re:2000!? on Has Texting Replaced Talking For Teens? · · Score: 1

    he is constantly available via text message and responds with a faithfulness and speed that any mother would find reassuring

    It seems like we're creating a generation of stateless event driven beings. That's an EJB joke by the way....

  11. Re:Amazing? on Thieves Clear Out NJ Apple Store In 31 Seconds · · Score: 1

    I was in a pub in London at the weekend and a dodgy character worked his way round the bar trying to sell a bag full of iPhones. It's pretty clear from their shrink wrapped appearance that they were either stolen or fake. I'm sure some greedy individual would have bought one from him eventually, only to discover later that the battery wasn't the only thing 'hot' about it...

  12. Re:Good developers dont have time to take many tes on Appropriate Interviewing For a Worldwide Search? · · Score: 1

    You mean like a free consulting day for the company? That's a half empty glass. Maybe you should look at it as another company you can put on your resume. :)

  13. Re:Global search? on Appropriate Interviewing For a Worldwide Search? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    this chap's my ass.

    That's better...

  14. Re:Good developers dont have time to take many tes on Appropriate Interviewing For a Worldwide Search? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Anyone who "refuses" to take a test for something as important as a career change is probably going to "refuse" a lot of other stuff once he actually gets in the door. Someone who is "too good for tests" is generally trouble in the making.

  15. Re:"Committed Suicide?" on EMC Co-Founder Commits Suicide · · Score: 1

    Me too. Your comment raises the point though: Ultimately, life is eventually unkind and everyone passes. I guess there's nothing to stop that final "unfairness" that we all must face.

  16. Re:And we should attack the FSF... on FSF Attacks Windows 7's "Sins" In New Campaign · · Score: 1

    He never had more than 33% percent of votes in any non-rigged election. If that qualifies as popular support or not, your decision. The world ain't black and white.

    I've seen loads of old news reel of Hitlers speeches and the world was most definitely black and white. Haha, you can't fool me so easily!

  17. Re:And we should attack the FSF... on FSF Attacks Windows 7's "Sins" In New Campaign · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, as far as atrocities go. Germans and The War live in much less of a state of denial than say Americans and the atomic bomb, or Brits and the firebombing of Dresden. I guess it all comes down to who wins.

  18. Re:And we should attack the FSF... on FSF Attacks Windows 7's "Sins" In New Campaign · · Score: 0, Troll

    Point is not that MS are Nazis (Such comparisons diminish the horrors of Nazism)

    I would be more inclined to say that it diminishes the horrors of Microsoft...

  19. Re:Study Assignment on Dirty Coding Tricks To Make a Deadline · · Score: 1, Informative

    Probably he didn't spend much time implementing his version so wasn't too worried. He probably invests most of his time in actual research instead of pesky undergrads.

  20. Re:Deadline is not the problem on Dirty Coding Tricks To Make a Deadline · · Score: 1

    He obviously works by himself in a rosy world where requirements and scope never change and nothing unexpected ever happens.

    In fact, I bet he's coding on a UNIVAC I in Pleasantville. That must be nice.

  21. Re:WallStats: Death and Taxes on Finalists Chosen In Apps For America 2 Contest · · Score: 1

    America 2 sounds like a nice place but I'd need to know more about it before I write apps for it.

  22. Re:Of course, Obligatory on British Video Recordings Act 1984 Invalid · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does this mean that Grotesque has just been given the best publicity ever and no way to prevent it from being sold?

  23. Re:Holy JESUS on Goldman Sachs Code Theft Not Quite So Cut and Dried · · Score: 1

    I work in IT in an Investment Banking and I can tell you that it's really not like that any more. But then I work in London rather than New York.

  24. Re:What they mean: on First European Provider To Break Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Just like the ISPs that overbook their network by selling a service that they could never deliver if all the poeple decided to show up at once

    Add banks to that list too.

    The consoles in most stores are not the same as the ones you buy.

    No the consoles are the same, it's the perspex case that's missing from your come environement.
