Comment Worls War II Parallels..... (Score 0) 126

Does anybody else see the parallels between Apple's litigation and World War II? You have Apple (Axis Powers) filing lawsuits (declaring war) against Motorola, Nokia, and HTC (Allied Powers). Honestly, with the business practices Apple has, such as no outside apps (propaganda) without Apple authorization, no tethering (isolation from other countries), carrier lock-ins (you have the limited choices only Apple says you can have), and proprietary software (you live in Apple Land, and cannot leave), they bear a strong resemblance to Nazi Germany. If Der Fuhrer Steve Jobs remembers his history, then he should know he is about to have his ass handed to him and will surrender before it's too late.

Yeah, because Government Health Care is really going to make us fell better about sky-high unemployment, jobs moving overseas, a worthless dollar, and a TSA that does more groping than a drunken cheerleader on prom night. Speaking of Government Health Care, you must not have ever had to deal with the last Federal 'project': Government Cheese. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Comment Ban Lucas123 From Submitting Articles FOREVER..... (Score 1) 98

Hey, Lucas123! Just how much of a flaming dumbass are you?! Are you too stupid to know the difference between "developing a 2TB flash card" and "developing a 2TB flash card specification"? Jesus Christ! Someone ban this idiot from posting ever again. If you can't tell the difference, you shouldn't be reading SlashDot in the first place.....

Comment Karma Really Is A Pain In The Ass..... (Score 1) 1020

Mr. Assange learned very hard lesson in publicity: No matter how benevolent you or others think your actions may be, the moment you do something incredibly stupid (like commit a sex crime), your world will effectively implode. In this case, his world imploded to dimensions of about 6x8 feet. Undoubtedly, there will be some hard-core conspiracy theorists who will say this is the work of the U.S. Government, and that is a very satisfying belief, but it doesn't take into account the following facts: 1) The claimant is not an American, and does not have any interest in silencing Assange (aside from the crimes he is accused of), 2) The investigation was conducted by the neutral Swedish government, 3) The evidence collected in the criminal investigation of the victim's claims has nothing to do with Assange's release of classified documents. Regardless of the evidence collected, Assange and his supporters will claim that he did not get a fair trial if convicted. However, evidence does not change when the verdict is issued, and for there to be enough compelling evidence for an arrest warrant to be issued, there has to be a substantial amount. Julian Assange has demonstrated the type of personality that is Self-Righteous and accepts benevolence based on what *he* thinks is right. Someone ought to give Mr. Assange a dose of his own medicine: LEAK ALL OF HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION!

Comment Well-Known Fact = DISCOVERY?! (Score 2, Insightful) 333

Someone ought to throw the idiots who allow this crap to get posted under a bus. I'm getting sick of reading "breakthrough" and "discovery" articles about stuff that was, and still is, already known 40+ years before SlashDot was around. We knew this back in grammar school, while some high-paid, University egg-head rehashes old research and claims some kind of discovery!

Comment Bad Idea..... (Score 1) 1065

"Just last year, nearly 5,500 people were killed and 500,000 more were injured in distracted driving-related crashes." Funny, he doesn't say how many were cellphone related. I wonder if he's given any thought to how many accidents will be caused by drivers trying to pull over to take a call before the call goes to voice mail.

What you call 'Blood Sausage', we call a 'scab'. What you call 'Black Pudding', we call a 'blood clot'. Honestly, a Brit making fun of American, or any other nation's cuisine is pure hypocrisy. British cuisine, with the exception of Beef Wellington, is closer to Middle Ages Survival Eating than anything else. As for American chefs, there are: 1) Julia Child 2) Paul Prudhomme 3) Jeff Smith 4) Martin Yan ..... do you want me to keep going?

Instead of bowing down to a King and Queen, we decided to grow testicles instead. "As for attractiveness of women - which country has the worst obesity problem?" - Fat tits are better than crooked teeth. Oh, and BTW, why do you call us Red Necks, when your 'royal' 'family' is more inbred than we could ever be?
