  1. Re:Riddle me this... on Zombie Network Explosion · · Score: 1

    So if researchers can detect these things with apparent reliability in their process, why can't ISPs detect them the same way and cut the bastards off?

    If Comcast and ilk such as that were really interested in conserving network bandwidth, they'd be cutting off zombies instead of putting on bandwidth caps.

    Oh come on, they are all evil, they leave em alone through professional courtesy!

  2. Re:Easy on Zombie Network Explosion · · Score: 4, Funny

    They've become self-aware. Run for the hills!

    Won't help, you will be found, in a week we are launching a satelite that has 41 centimeter resolution. The rocket will even have a google logo on the side.

    (OK, que the "now they can see my penis(ego) from space" jokes)

  3. Re:Hhhmm, on Possible Monogamy Gene Found In People · · Score: 0, Troll

    "Monogamy is pretty rare in the general population."

    I'd have to agree with that, at 32, I have been with 147 women, most of them in semi-long term polyamorous relationships,(often with my partners hooking up on the side). Not a single one of them was a virgin before me.

    It seems that for the most part, this generation does not care about monogamy.

    (or maybe FSM is good to me)

  4. Re:Actually, not that big of a deal. on Nvidia 55nm Parts Are Bad Too · · Score: 4, Funny

    I own several English made cars and I can testify from personal experience that the only time when there is not oil leaking from the car is when it has run out.

    I heard that was why they never really got into making computers... They could not figure out how to make them leak oil.

  5. Re:THe problem is life vs. chemical process on Rover Exiting Crater To Continue Martian Marathon · · Score: 1

    It's like the stories you hear about an army guy getting the permanent assignment overseas because his "helmet-head spaceman" caught something, is turning black and gooey and the army does not want him bringing it back home.

  6. frikken hilarious on Nerd Baby · · Score: 1

    Obviously made my the parent, the stats are way off, especially the charm or charisma score. That said, it still qualifies as cute.

  7. Re:Re-education on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Do you do crafts? Because that's one hell of a strawman you just put together for us.

    I thought you were going to infer he qualified for long bouts of basket weaving and padded cells.

  8. Re:Why banned on airplanes? on Japan Demands Probe of iPod Nano Flameouts · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think you'll find that all of the affected iPods were right at the end of their lifetimes

    Well thank you, Captian Obvious. Of course they were at the end of their lifetimes, they are dead now!!

    Perhaps you are infering that the self-destruct mechanism was meant to initialize at the end of the product's projected life-cycle.

    "Poof! Time to buy a new one!(and of course because of the DRM, you will need to keep it in the Apple family)"

  9. Re:But some artists suck. on Support Grows For Blanket Music Licensing · · Score: 1

    Exactly. You HAVE to have a body in the same way you HAVE to have music, but you live in a system where you have to voluntarily pay in order to stay healthy, just like you have to voluntarily pay in order to listen to music. I don't actually see a difference...

    FM radio and free clinics

    Both suck!

  10. Re:But some artists suck. on Support Grows For Blanket Music Licensing · · Score: 1

    Delicious ironing? That sounds... painful.

    You just don't know the right women. I'd gladly take you to a BDSM club I know of in Richmond to meet a few...

  11. Re:It's very close. on Leaping the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    know when I talk to someone and try and maintain eye contact, I find I have to blink much more frequently

    Perhaps it's related to repressed scientologist training?

    or you don't want to appear to be staring?

    or you want them to think you are lying?

    or faked nervous(to put them in a false feeling of control)?

  12. Re:Not really animation on Leaping the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    McCain and Obama gay-dancing with each other in bomb vests and chaps, planting IEDs in Washington DC!!

    Now THAT would be controversial.

  13. Re:I knew it on The Duke Is Finally Back, For Real · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've always known that the Apocalypse would fall on a Tuesday.

    Don't worry, we're working on a zero-day patch for this.

  14. new meaning on id, Raven Developers Discuss New Wolfenstein · · Score: 1

    Wow, sounds like it gives new meaning to "god mode"

    or a violence induced psychoses.

  15. Re: did apple and at&t knew about the problems on What's the Problem With iPhone 3G Reception? · · Score: 1

    I worked with a guy who was involved in the testing at the FCC lab in MD. He said word came down from above to "rubber stamp" the original iPhone without ANY testing on their behalf.

  16. Re:logic error on Sharing 2,999 Songs, 199 Movies Is Safe In Germany · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the Germans are just as much into high participant groups and Bukake.

    No wonder they teamed up with the Japanese in WW2!

  17. Re:And they say ... on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 3, Funny

    And Libraries!!! those amoral dens of SIN and contempt!!

    [me ducks]

  18. Re:Might as well get used to it on BSOD Makes Appearance at Olympic Opening Ceremonies · · Score: 1

    Seeing a 2KW quartz bulb explode because some idiot caught a loop of the coolant line in an access door on the pedestal is impressive. Having to clean it up is not.

  19. Eh.. on Physics Nerds Rap About the LHC · · Score: 1

    Eh.. not as good as BabyCakes singing "Be Aggressive"

  20. Anybody else think this? on Let Your Theme Song be Your Password · · Score: 2, Funny

    What was that Jiminy-Cricket??

    "Let Your Theme Song be Your Password, and Always Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide"

  21. Lawsuit! on IT Repair Installs Webcam Spying Software · · Score: 1

    I smell a lawsuit.

    Unless of course they share the photographic proof.

    Just undressing?

  22. Re:I'll keep an eye out for you on Electronic Eyeball Uses Curved Image Sensor · · Score: 3, Funny

    "I'll keep an eye out for you."

    Isn't that what the hooker with the glass eye said to her loyal customer?

    I think the leper responded with:
    "Keep the tip"

  23. Re:Insultolympics on Get Ready For the Nerdlympics · · Score: 1

    There are two types of Slashdotter: Those who read the article, and those who comment on the story. These groups do not overlap.

    The problem is self-perpetuating.

    As most of us are in a rush to post something insightful or funny, we don't take the time to wade through 9 pages of ads to RTFA, we just read the summary (sometimes) and post. While TFA can be informative and sometimes worthwhile to read, most of us want to get our posts in early or high on the page so they will be read and responded to. Its a form of validation. Now shut up and give me a virtual hug, damn it!

  24. Re:Lobo tuerto on Your Medical Treatment History Is For Sale · · Score: 1

    Loboto-what?

  25. Read in an Arnold voice: on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 5, Funny
