Actually it reminds me more of this:

According to the clip, if he bought it in Canada he might be covered by the Canadian Criminal Code where "there's legal precedent setting cases in law" for this sort of thing.

Or these precedents might only apply to "mice" not hard drives...

Or maybe we should just all agree that cars should drive on the right side of the road. Lanes should be two times the width of a horse's hind quarters and when the light is red stop. Interoperability doesn't mean the cars are the same, it means the roads and rules of the road are the same.

Actually, I believe the term "shyster" is reserved for attorneys of the Jewish persuasion. I believe the proper term for me is "eggplant."

Please people try to be more sensitive when using the term shyster.

(Note to anyone thinking of downmodding this: I am Jewish, and I have a sense of humor.)

Journal Journal: Suggestions on Moderation 3

Journal by Sensitive Claude on Tuesday December 23, 2003 @07:25PM

OK, I'm back to positive karma. Another example that it is possible to regain yourself from bad karma.

Anyway, I just wanted to provide some suggestions to the sensitive moderators out there on slashdot.

The main thing is this: Keep in mind that when you moderate someone as funny, it does not help their karma, and it can sometimes hurt it if it gets the attention of a moderator who lacks a sense of humor.

Journal Journal: Slashdot Moderators are Insensitive! 2

Journal by Sensitive Claude on Saturday December 06, 2003 @03:53AM

All I'm trying to do is make slashdot a bit more sensitive, and what do I get? Moderated as a troll, that's what.

Oh sure, I get modded as Funny, but that doesn't help my karma. I've only made 7 posts so far and already I have bad karma. What in the world am I going to tell my sensei now?
