  1. Re:What about Canada? on Sci Fi Channel Becoming Less Geek-Centric "SyFy" · · Score: 1

    Which, thank the FSM, still sticks to showing SciFi. Stuff like all the Star Treks, BSG, Stargate and Stargate: Atlantis. Not to forget good, and corny movies. Plus all the weird documentaries and shows they have on earlier in the morning about aliens, UFos, Bigfoot, and whatnot.

  2. What's that? on US Pentagon Plans For a Spy Blimp · · Score: 1

    Joe Q Public: (looking at sky) "What's that? Is that a Spy Blimp?"
    Man in Black Suit: No sir, it's just a UFO, now please look into the microphone."

  3. Re:Good news everyone! on Billy West Says Futurama Might Return To Fox For 6th Season · · Score: 5, Funny

    Prepared to be sued by the Writers Guild!

  4. Re:Why install the legal copy then? on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 1

    The hilarious part is that it only froze up on the people that paid to have DRM installed on their machines. The stolen copies are just fine I'm sure.

    Nope. They're not working either. Not that I have one. Just saying....

  5. Re:Of course this calls for on 45% of Dutch Media-Buying Population Are "Pirates" · · Score: 1, Funny

    It sounds like a Bucket Of Fish Heads?

  6. Re:interestingly the text message device could be on Doctor Performs Amputation By Text Message · · Score: 5, Funny

    What the article fails to mention is that all the plane's electrical systems failed because the pilot was using his cell phone.

  7. Re:Guitar hero on Hacks Allowing Disabled Gamers To Play Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    Sure, some are pirated, but there are sites like FretsonFire.net and ScoreHero that show you how to create your own custom charts using ogg files that you have, using tools such as EOF (EOF tutorial), and Feedback (db) (Feedback tutorial).

    There are also links on those sites on how to customize the entire look of the game, how to get your Guitar Hero/Rockband instruments to work with Frets on Fire, and how to customize pretty much any part of the gameplay, if you so wish.

    ScoreHero also has tutorials on how to get your custom creations working with a modded console and Guitar Hero.

  8. Conclusive Proof on Massive Martian Glaciers Found · · Score: 1, Funny

    We'll finally have conclusive proof that Spiders originated from Mars.

  9. Re:Why? on Search For the Tomb of Copernicus Reaches an End · · Score: 1

    I'd chalk it up to what starts most scientific ideas: I wonder what if..?

  10. Re:Huh? on D-Link DIR-655 Firmware 1.21 Hijacks Your Internet Connection · · Score: 1

    +1 Ba Zing!

  11. Well then on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 4, Funny

    "On Mon Aug 25, 2003 ******** wrote:
    "Hello, I am a 'generously proportioned' male (375 pounds) with a less than generous penile length (4 inches erect). I seek a vendor of quality inflatable sheep who can give away free samples as I am unemployed. Best regards."

    Well, I guess this answers the question, " Do inadequate fat men dream of inflatable sheep?"

  12. Re:FAKE security warnings, for Windows? on Schneier On Scareware Vendor Lawsuits · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...after all, is there anything as insecure as Windows?

    Emo kids?

  13. Re:Why should Apple open up? on Apple Bans iPhone App For Competing With Mail.app · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's Microsoft's platform, Microsoft's SDK, and Microsoft's store. Why should they allow any product on the shelf that competes with their own business? Why should they allow useless products? You don't get mad at Best Buy for not selling maps to Circuit City. You don't get mad at Circuit City for not selling empty cardboard boxes for $999. Why should Microsoft's store be any different?

    Sound's pretty silly now, doesn't it?

  14. Re:In related news... on Political Viewpoints Linked To Fear · · Score: 3, Funny

    This sounds really damn funny when you hear Bender say it in your head.

  15. Re:Once again - two faces. on Graduate Student Defends Right To Own Chicago2016.com · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I do not see where you get that he is a domain squatter? As has already been stated here, he registered the domain two years before they even announced the bid and he also seems to be legitimately using the site as a forum to discuss the pros and cons of the Olympics.

    So really, your two face comment makes no sense. This is a case of Slashdotters actually reading the article and looking at the evidence before them instead of automatically crying foul one way or the other.

  16. Don't know if has been said but... on Interplanetary Internet Tested In Space · · Score: 1

    im in ur shuttle eatin all ur potata chips

  17. Re:Under the topic: "How the Universe Began" on Virginia Begins Open-Source Physics Textbook · · Score: 1

    That. Was. Epic.

  18. Re:We're so screwed. on LHC Flips On Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    You mean like the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The scientists then never really knew just how much damage they were going to do, especially with the survivors who developed cancer as a result of the radiation.

  19. Re:Duh - we all do-complain. on Who Pays for Rebuilding the Internet? · · Score: 3, Funny

    And by the way, get off my damn lawn! I just seeded! Um, ewww....
  20. Interesting on Nerve-tapping Neckband Allows 'Telepathic' Chat · · Score: 1

    What sort of scenario would this be useful? I think it'd be far more useful if they could somehow use this tech to go in reverse. From either one persons vocal chords, or thoughts, and sent directly to another persons. This would be great for those who are deaf.

  21. Re:We already have Photoshop! on Google Funds Work for Photoshop on Linux · · Score: 1

    You'd use it for skinning and textures for the 3D object. Afterwards you would import it back into either 2D Studio Max, Maya, etc.

  22. Re:Lame chair joke on Yahoo May Re-Consider Google Alliance, Rebuff Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sorry, they are all lame. Besides, everyone knows the interns have a woodshop ...
    No, can't complete joke. Still lame. Not funny. No chair jokes have ever, can ever, or will ever be funny. Stop insulting our humor glands!
    Relax. Pull up a chair.
  23. Re:ummm... on Qtrax — Ad-Supported Music With iPod Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    So, how is the DRM implemented? Are the ads actually played at the beginning or end of the track? Based on answers to my first two questions, how hard would it be to use a program such as Audacity to play them back in any format of your choosing without the DRM annoyance?

  24. Re:hmm on Subpoena Sought For Browsed News Articles · · Score: 1

    modded +1, touche...

  25. Re:Google Cache doesn't help on Subpoena Sought For Browsed News Articles · · Score: 2, Funny

    (All the more reason to read the web through Google cache!)
    All the more reason to use Tor. There we go... All the more reason to not be a stupid jackass on the internet. There we go...
