  1. Re:One finger keyboard on Five Finger Keyboards · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I grow my right hand thumbnail long, file it down so I have a bit of an edge leaning left

    Doesn't your girlfriend take issue with this? Oh wait...

  2. Re:Wasted chance on Fox News' FTP Password Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Rolf is my friend's dad. I've met him. :)

  3. Re:Note to self on Mac Worm Author Gets Death Threats · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean I should end my genetic experiment to cross-pollinate a Mac fanboy with a Scientologist to produce the world's most pompous asshole?

    Only if you buy your creation a Toyota Prius.

  4. Re:Potential buyer on Enigma Machine for Sale on eBay · · Score: 1

    Yes but does it run linux and if so can you imagine a beowulf cluster of those?

    Don't look at me like I'm some sort of dirty perv, you were all thinking the same thing...

  5. Re:Occam's razor at work on FBI Remotely Installs Spyware to Trace Bomb Threat · · Score: 2, Funny

    implies that EVERY Windows OS can be remotely exploited.

    Who needs the FBI for this? Microsoft have been doing this all by themselves for years...

  6. Re:needs usability on Building a Fully Encrypted NAS On OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    I think you just described Windows Vista Bitlocker.

    For some reason I read that as Windows Vista Blocker and got excited there. Never mind...

  7. Re:Microsoft is thrilled by this news on Zune DRM Cracked · · Score: 3, Funny

    I believe that the more important question is "will it blend?"

    Fixed...

  8. Re:It makes sense with multi-core cpus on Will Pervasive Multithreading Make a Comeback? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Otherwise it would have to be pronounced "Oh, sex."

    And that's not something many /.ers say a lot...

    Are you sure? "Oh, sex, where art thou?"

  9. Re:Money on New York Plans Surveillance Veil For Downtown · · Score: 1

    I have already curtailed a previously-planned trip to London because I do not want to partake of their police state where anybody can be detained by police without reason.

    You have a completely irrational fear of the state. Stop watching Fox News and get out and see the world. It's not as scary as your tinfoil hat wearing buddies have led you to believe. Personally I would rather you didn't go to NY or London. Someone with your views probably won't be missed.

  10. Yum Yum on Hardcore to Be Pushed Aside This Console Generation? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't see [Microsoft] trying to cannibalize the Wii audience

    I hear Steve Balmer eats three Wii users for breakfast, a Sony executive for lunch and banquets on 8 Google workers for dinner. For dessert he he eats puppies and ice cream.

    Hehe, that appeals to my sense of humour.

  12. Re:Coffee machine1st thing I look at on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I have much to learn. All the things you've stopped doing are exactly the things I'm currently doing. :)
    I didn't really consider smoking but now you mention it, smoking more cigarettes does make me more tired the next day...

    Also, I need to stop using the radio of my alarm clock. It encourages lying in bed I think unless I tune it to something really obnoxious.

  13. Re:Coffee machine1st thing I look at on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    Out of interest when do you go to bed? Also have you always been a morning person? My ex-gf had a similar lifestyle to you whereas I always went to bed at round 00:30. Eventually I learned to sleep through her alarm clock at 5:00am and after a while of getting good at it, my own...

    Yeah, but neither human tellers nor ATMs carry tasers.

    I go over-budget some months so sometimes I wish they did.

  15. Twiddling the numbers? on Xbox Warranty To Cost $1 Billion, Customer Good Will · · Score: 1

    short of the 12 million Xboxes they'd planned to ship

    Hey Microsoft, it doesn't count if you're shipping to the same gamer who's had his break 10 times.

  16. Re:More Java growth? on Draft Review of Java 7 "Measures and Units" · · Score: 1

    Dice.com results:

    This is a silly metric. It gives no indication of how many 'actual java developers' or 'actual java developers' there are. But you already knew that...

  17. Re:Brought to you by the on The Mainframe Still Lives! · · Score: 4, Funny

    Years? More like decades. IBM more or less invented virtualization back in the 60s for the System/390, and it lives on today as z/VM.

    Great! I smell an Amazon patent brewing...

  18. Re:I was worried about this on Singles, Not Albums, Define Music Industry Success · · Score: 1

    If there isn't the rest of the album, then the only music will be loud and obnoxious "LISTEN TO ME" stuff.

    I agree that albums are a good thing but I don't agree with the rest of your point. A lot of people just aren't attracted to 'commercial' music in any sense and don't listen to the radio anyway. Probably because pop music these days is already '"LISTEN TO ME" stuff' so that horse has sailed.

  19. Re:1/2 of a corporations duties on MS Moves R&D To Canada Due To Immigration Problem · · Score: 1

    (BTW, you have no "right" to incorporate). Your company must also be of the public good.

    They should have been shut down right away for releasing vista then. :)

  20. Just encrypt? on Belgian ISP Forced To Block P2P Traffic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is it just me or is this trivial to circumvent by encrypting traffic?

    Why don't you have a big drink of 'shut the fuck up'. :P

  22. Re:Of course they don't. on Massachusetts Makes Health Insurance Mandatory · · Score: 1

    Of course not. It's either your own fault, or god hates you. There are no accidents, period.

    The remaining options for athiests aren't too good.

  23. Re:Yes its broken on Massachusetts Makes Health Insurance Mandatory · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you got a gash in your hand because you were wandering around drunk, and your fellow taxpayers got to foot the bill for your stupidity. Fantastic. No wonder people act irresponsibly, if they know they won't have to pay for their mistakes.

    Accidents don't happen in you country then? Nice, I want to move there where I can drive a car in perfect safety.

    fired his wad, and spent his mod points all on a joke.

    The Waderator sits hunched at his keyboard, fingers clenched like horrific gnarled claws.
    The mouse wheel spins frantically while the fourth cup of coffee singes his neurons.
    "GRR! AHAA!" Like a hawk swooping over an unwitting rodent far below, he spots it.
    Through clenched teeth he spits: "GAH! GRRR! TROLLLL!".
    With lightning reflexes and an innate understanding of all things, a flurry of activity sees the combo box set and the End button tapped to the bottom the screen. No necessity to read the entire post or it's context. In the blink of an eye the submit button is pressed and the heroic deed is complete. His eyes dart around dangerously as he scans the display for the next comment to purge...

    Your post has now been Waderated.

    Why would the film rating have a bearing on whether or not the Kwik-E-Mart shops sell Duff beer?
