  1. no wonder it was hard to find on HMS Beagle (Possibly) Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    it had evolved into a yacht

  2. Re:Enough allready! on Backlash as EMI Hunts Down the Grey Album · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    they've made enough money long time ago

    So exactly how much money is enough money? I want to know, in case I ever end up making that much, so I can just sit back and never make any more.

    Mixing the beatles with Jay-Z is like mixing wine and bleach.

  3. In other news... on The Galaxy's Largest Diamond · · Score: 2, Funny

    Kobe Bryant's wife just got really pissed at him again.

  4. Mike Myers on Doctorow: Ebooks Neither E Nor Books · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic.

    Ebooks Neither E Nor Books

    discuss!

  5. this is some powerful stuff going on on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 2, Funny

    hell, I bet Medusa would turn to stone if she saw the code.

  6. finally on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 1

    a movie about The Simpsons. You know what would awesome stunt casting? Usher as O.J., and Luis Guzman as Nicole, and Jonathan Lipnicki as Mark Furhman.

  7. personally on Worried about Digital Evidence Tampering? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I try to hide the evidence after I tamper with my digits. The hamper is a good hiding place.

    Thank you. I'll be here till im modded down.

  8. here's a spoiler... on The Maverick and His Machine · · Score: 2, Funny

    There is a lot more I could say about the book but because I don't want to spoil anything

    IBM stands for International Business Machines. Ok, I just gave away the ending. sorry.

  9. forget this building stuff on Building A Better Package Manager · · Score: 0, Redundant

    just wear an atheletic supporter and forget...oh. This was under the linux topic. nevermind.

  10. Re:what's the difference? on It's Official -- Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the added scenes also messed up the flow of the movie, because certain scenes were edited so things happen on specific musical cues, but with new footage added, the synchronization is all off. It's not just the visuals that were messed with.

  11. strong am I with the force... on It's Official -- Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 2, Funny

    but not strong enough to resist buying dvd versions of movies I already have on vhs.

  12. well if it doesn't exist on What If Dark Matter Really Doesn't Exist? · · Score: 2, Funny

    then whoever said "always bet on black" lost some serious cash

  13. ratings on Learn How to Program Using Any Web Browser · · Score: 1

    an anonymous coward already echoed the sentiment that I have, mainly that a rating of 5 is not descriptive at all. Why not standardize a scale for all slashdot book ratings? This would help clear up confusion.

    1) There is the ever-popular 0-10
    2) A star rating (0-4 for movies, 0-5 for music), with a possible adjective afterwards (A must have, worthless, etc.)
    3) The letter scale (F-A+)
    4) Or even the Glengarry Glen Ross scale, where a book could only have 1 of 3 ratings (Cadillac, steak knives, you're fired)

    Any of these would be preferable than just a number

  14. I think the seven dwarves would be more realistic on Disney Licenses MS Windows Media DRM · · Score: 2, Funny

    All office assistant's I know are sleepy, dopey, and grumpy. But most assuredly not happy.

  15. first real? on The Internet, Media and Politics · · Score: 5, Insightful

    me this is the first *real* use of the Internet in a meaningful way

    Well the Blair Witch Project, back in 1999 used an internet-based marketing approach to rack up 140 million dollars. Not only that, it set the standard for how movies are marketed online.

    Just because this is about entertainment and art and not politics doesn't make it less real. There's a lot of money in movies.

  16. Re:You also... on The Best Colleges for Network Engineering? · · Score: 1

    at RIT, we had a saying:

    "girls are like parking spaces. All the good ones are taken or handicapped"

  17. another graduate on Dream Jobs of 2004 · · Score: 1

    ah, another graduate of Bob Flanagan University

  18. my dream job on Dream Jobs of 2004 · · Score: 1

    virginity tester

    "sorry boss, haven't found one yet today. I'll look harder"

  19. also on The Golden Ratio · · Score: 2, Interesting

    also quote possibly tied for the shortest title

  20. aw man on The Golden Ratio · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I thought this book was going to be about getting rich quickly by investing in precious metals.

  21. that's it? on Review: KDE 3.2 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wow! That's it? That's the entire review? No offense slashdot editors, but this is pretty insubstantial. Hell, a Gene Shalit movie review is more insightful. Why not just a link to download the new KDE?

    Damn, there goes my already diminishing karma.

  22. reminds me of an old joke on Computer Engineering Degree Most Valuable · · Score: 1

    Evreyone behind a desk is vulnerable to being offshored.

    Two guys standing around in an office

    1: My job is safe! I'm a temp, and I only work part of the time

    2: In that case, they'll replace you with a copy machine.

  23. this is how Jean-Claude Van Damme did it on Two Blanks Against the Trend · · Score: 1

    one of the top bands right now in the german rap scene

    Kind of like being the best kickboxer in Belgium

  24. Re:Some are, some aren't on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 3, Informative

    I use a typewriter almost everyday at work. Typing purchase orders requires a typewriter, since ours are carbon paper based.

    And I find that feeding an envelope or a label into the typewriter is much easier than setting up the printer to print one address. It may not be elegant, but it's simple

    Of course, I can't surf slashdot from a typewriter.

  25. um... on The Swarmbots Are Coming · · Score: 2, Funny

    Typically, a swarm bot is a collection of simple robots (s-bots) that self-organize according to algorithms inspired by the bridge-building and task-allocation activities of ants

    So they've created artificially intelligent managers. Well I guess this is better than the real thing.
