turn off ads

I subscribe to Slashdot (it's really cheap!) and then just block the ads on most pages.

I am _really_ cheap. I do not subscribe, and I do block ads.

Actually, it is not just being cheap.

I figure if I subscribe, some of the money would encourage those slashdot programmers to continue to do whatever it is they do.

Back in the day, nobody put ads on gopher. Or that thing that displaced it, what is it called, the "world wide web"? You would get flamed so bad!

I am happily stuck in time, preserved in amber, skipping basically all ads. Though I do use search to find the best price and competitive products and comparisons and reviews.

Peace, brother!

Occam's Razor is misapplied.

I hear you, but I respectfully disagree.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

It belongs in the realm of Natural Phenomena - and does not take into account human factors of economics, power politics and psychological aberration.

Even if you believe I do not understand Occcam's razor, why do you believe that "human factors of economics, power politics and psychological aberration" are not "Natural Phenomena"?

Comment Huh. (Score 1) 14

Such elaborate conspiracies may exist, but I use Occam's Razor to dissect such claims, and choose to believe that the explanation of a single asshole better explains the facts than a secret enclave of assholes maintained over long periods of time without fail.

Even George Wallace, a past asshole, was shot by an asshole, yet was unable to maintain his assholosity for his whole life.

But, carry on.

You know you're driving me crazy, right? Who are you guys going after? Who are you parodying?

Oh, there ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay,
there ain't nobody here but us chickens.

Pretty sure... do you think "So-crates and Aristophanes" commented on the founding fathers of the United States of america? How about on the T-partiers? How about the comparison between the two?

Because I am willing to learn, if you are doing more than "just saying".

Ciao!
