  1. This + Chairs = PR Love on Ballmer Calls Vista 'A Work In Progress' · · Score: 1, Funny

    (Bet MS PR just loves him) Between this and that whole chair nonsense, yeah, I'd say PR loves him.
  2. Question about this "to arms" thing... on A Tech Lover's Call to Arms · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does taking up arms require me to get off my couch? That would really be a deal-breaker.

    And of you want me to go outside at all, forget it.

  3. Re:Where do I opt out? on Congress Gets Their Own Piece of YouTube to Host Videos · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A dedicated channel for lies, and shitty political commentary by youtube users? Where do I opt out? There already is a dedicated channel for lies; it's called Fox News.
  4. No Shit, Sherlock on Congress Gets Their Own Piece of YouTube to Host Videos · · Score: 1

    "Technology moves fast, Congress moves slow." Thank you, Captain Obvious!
  5. Re:Vibrator?? on Mysterious Sound Waves Can Destroy Rockets · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is that a rocket in your pocket? Finally I could satisfy a woman! :( Do you even know what a woman looks like?
  6. Epic Anime on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've thought for a long time that the only way to properly present Dune on the big screen, and be 100% true to the details of the book, was to make it into an epic Anime.

  7. Re:They should call it Photoshop C64. on Adobe Photoshop CS4 Will Be 64-Bit For Windows Only · · Score: 1

    I think they should call it Photoshop C64, to better make clear it is for 64-bit only. I think calling it "C64" would do nothing, except confuse a bunch of old-schoolers, and piss off everyone who's ever used a Commodore 64.
  8. Re:Is this calculated in the TCO? on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 1

    That would be the "Total Cost of Pwnership!" So.....

    TCP = Total Cost of Pwnership?

    UDP = Unintentional Cost of Pwnership?

    IP = Internationally Pwned?
  9. A Black Hole Near Centauri? on Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Found In Omega Centauri · · Score: 1

    Cool. They found Londo's soul.

  10. Re:pwndbyowneula tag. on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Safari for Windows EULA has language prohibiting Safari form being installed on anything but a mac. It was posted on slashdot a few days ago. that's the joke I was referencing.

  11. Re:pwndbyowneula tag. on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's almost as good as Safari for Windows' EULA banning itself. eulaselfpwnage?

  12. Got Karma? on Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee · · Score: 5, Funny

    How appropriate, that in India, the birthplace of Karma, Microsoft gets whacked with a hefty dose of it.

  13. Look out /. on T-Mobile Claims Trademark In the Color Magenta · · Score: 1

    I'm going to trademark slashdot-green.

  14. Fax Server on A Fond Look at Some Obsolete Ports · · Score: 1

    if you think dial up modems are obsolete, you evidently have never lived in a rural area in north america. Or have never dealt with a fax server.
  15. Hebrew translation? on Israelis Sue Government For Laser Cannons · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the Hebrew translation is for "frickin' lasers"?

  16. It's like a beached whale on Microsoft Should Acquire SAP, Not Yahoo · · Score: 1

    SAP is already a nightmare, I can't imagine Microsoft expending serious efforts to roll it into the Windows Server platform. It'd be like watching a thousand train wrecks, again and again... Kind of like a beached whale. It's too big to ignore, but all your efforts to save it are a waste of time; even if you do get it back into the ocean, it's just going to beach itself again in a couple of days.
  17. Who needs jets? on Best Technology For Long-Distance Travel? · · Score: 1

    I'm holding out for transporters!

  18. Re:Absolutely Not on Should Addictive Tech Come With a Health Warning? · · Score: 1

    Any behavior comes with a risk of psychological addiction. To stipulate a health warning on devices is absolutely ludacris. I agree completely. I mean, think about how this applies to sex.
  19. Hubble Images on Saturn's A-ring Soaks Up Debris Ejected from Nearby Moon · · Score: 0, Troll

    Images from the Hubble Space Telescope can be seen here.

  20. Not anonymous anymore!!! on Prince, Village People to Sue The Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    the benefit of anonymity. Not anymore, you insensitive clod!
  21. Unauthorized in today's world? on FBI Accidentally Received Unauthorized E-Mail Access · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Can any kind government access be considered unauthorized anymore? There have been so many executive orders, bending of laws, etc. that just about every form of government access to information is authorized by something.

  22. Re:As simple as flipping a switch on Starbucks Drops T-Mobile For AT&T · · Score: 2, Informative

    Speaking as a former barista, they don't know shit about the wi/fi, and are guided by strongly worded policies not to touch the equipment under any circumstances. Baristas are not usually technically inclined, at least in Boston/Cambridge. This will be done by AT&T techs.

  23. I used to work there.... on Starbucks Drops T-Mobile For AT&T · · Score: 1

    Currently with T-Mobile, they use Cisco 1700 series routers. Upgrading the hardware is a good call.

  24. Iraq! on Asian Nations Battle for Google Data Center · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously, why not Iraq? What better way to give their economy the kick in the ass it needs than to put Google's "All Your Base" datacenter there? A strong economy will stabilize Iraq, allowing us to get our people home, not to mention cementing relations between them and us.

  25. oblig. monty python reference on French Police Ditching Windows for Linux · · Score: 1

    "Ah'm French! How else do zyou ecksplain my use of Linux, and 'zis out-hragious accent?!"
