Now here's a remote by WankersRevenge · 2003-04-09 05:02 · Score: 4, Funny

These remotes might be "all that", but nothing beats this one in terms of features and ease of use.

anyone else having problems connecting to Slashdot today?
Features I would like to see by dmuth · 2003-04-09 05:10 · Score: 3, Funny

I would like to see a remote control that can turn down the volume of, pause, and ESPECIALLY rewind my boss. :-)
It's a sad day when... by rickthewizkid · 2003-04-09 05:13 · Score: 2, Funny

My remote control costs almost as much as my TV set.

Of course, I don't watch that much TV, so it may seem like a waste of money to me...

Just my 13-inches-worth...

But then, /. features a lot of stuff, several times, just in case someone misses it for the first time.
I mean, like that evil bit RFC? :)

Well, we are talking about controlling things remotely, so it's related.
Just another toy -for the dog by Denver_80203 · 2003-04-09 06:59 · Score: 3, Funny

My dog has eaten, batteries and all, 4 remote controls. I just bought a new Yamaha reciever and within 3 days it had been consumed. I've been finding little rubber numbers in the yard.
