  1. Re:Texas Education on Shuttle Politics · · Score: 5, Funny


    it won't be sex education.

    Actually they have sex ed in Texas but they stagger the classes with days they do drivers ed; it's too hard on the horses otherwise.

  2. Why rush? on Shuttle Politics · · Score: 5, Funny


    Why rush it? According to his math in another 187.5 flights, the shuttle fleet will be destroyed anyways.

  3. Whoa, boys.. on Revising the Internet Email Infrastructure · · Score: 5, Funny


    Have they passed their recommendations by Al Gore yet?

  4. Wall Street Meat on Wall Street Meat · · Score: 5, Funny


    Bah, I was hoping for pictures of high priced New York whores, not a story about boring stock trading.

  5. Re:hackers and painters? on Paul Graham: Hackers and Painters · · Score: 1


    but I've never heard anyone talk like that in real life.

    I hope not. If anyone were to say "I'm 'ell-three-three-seven." I'd punch him in the nose.

  6. hackers and painters? on Paul Graham: Hackers and Painters · · Score: 3, Funny


    I highly doubt Picasso, Rembrandt or Cézanne strutted around saying "H3y d00dz, ch3ck 0u7 7h3 l337 p41n71ng5 1 h4x0r3d t0g37h3r l457 n1gh7! ph34r m3!

  7. Re:Widescreen on Widescreen (Finally) Winning · · Score: 1


    Big deal. I want to see the butchers from Trading Spaces doing their hack jobs in widescreen. I won't rest until that's reality.

  8. Re:DIY Mac.. on Build Your Own Mac With CoreCrib Kit · · Score: 1


    You mean there are Mac users who aren't geeks?

    I mean in the sense of "Let's build a Mac clone and put [Linux|NetBSD|OpenBSD] on it!" type of users. The people that use Macs and MacOS for their bread and butter will pay the premium and buy from Jobs & Co.

  9. DIY Mac.. on Build Your Own Mac With CoreCrib Kit · · Score: 5, Insightful


    A Do It Yourself Mac seems tantamount to a Do It Yourself Mercedes..

    These will be popular among the geeks, but the Mac masses will stick to boxes from Cupertino.

  10. Opting out. on Gates on Digital Restrictions Technologies · · Score: 3, Funny


    With MS' monopoly on the world, opting out might very well turn one into a modern day TechnoAmish(tm).

  11. Oh yawn on Programmable Matter: The New Alchemy · · Score: 3, Funny


    Programmable matter has been around for years, just look at the T-1000 Terminator

  12. RIAA are poopy-heads. on Interview with Student Sued by RIAA · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Smooth move, RIAA; this really endears your customers to you.. Talk about cutting your own throat.

  13. Oh come on.. on Microsoft's Athens PC · · Score: 5, Funny


    1990s MS: "We are not a monopoly."

    2000s MS: "We can't compete fairly, lock out the competition."

    2010s MS: "Would you like Fries with that?"

  14. Re:I salute you on Apple Sells A Million Songs in Debut Week · · Score: 5, Funny


    Grub, my man, you must be the Slashdot master of one-liners. Your Karma-to-Words-Typed Ratio must be very impressive.

    Yes it is. :)

  15. Re:Hooray on Apple Sells A Million Songs in Debut Week · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hmm.. let's call it a draw:
    Grand Moff Tarkin was the Imperial governor of the Outland Regions, and the mastermind of the Death Star project
    From the Star Wars Databank.
  16. Yay! on Indiana Jones coming to DVD in November · · Score: 1


    I hope they have added footage of that kid screaming " INDY!! INDY!! " It was almost as ear piercing as Newt's shrieking in Aliens.

  17. Re:Why did it work? on Apple Sells A Million Songs in Debut Week · · Score: 1


    Bundling a media player is not quite the same as bundling IE or WMP that have their fetid tendrils through the guts of your system. Apple's media player doesn't spy on you as WMP does

  18. Re:Hooray on Apple Sells A Million Songs in Debut Week · · Score: 2, Funny


    I THINK you'll find that the more the RIAA tightens it's grip, the more potential music buyers will slip through its fingers.

    Well said Governor Tarkin.. er.. Princess Leia.

  19. My head is going go explode! on Red Vs. Blue - A Halo Fan Flick · · Score: 5, Funny

    Mac fans, our wait will be rewarded. The fight is over and Apple will soon rule the world !

    I didn't know the former Iraqi Information Minister works at Apple now.

  21. From the bus38 link.. on Paris, The City Of Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    From the bus38 link "Hello! Be the very welcome aboard Bus 38!"

    Who did their translation, Babelfish?

  22. Re:France and encyption? on Paris, The City Of Wi-Fi? · · Score: -1, Flamebait


    Doesn't France have some really low limit on encryption? Like 48bit encryption?

    No, you're confusing things. They have a 48 day limit between showers. Not sure what there bit limit is for crypto.

  23. Too little, too late. on Paris, The City Of Wi-Fi? · · Score: -1, Redundant


    Had this been in place back in the 40's, the Germans could have kept in touch with the motherland via email rather than telegrams. They could have had embedded reporters and live reports on how the toppling of the evil French Regime was coming along.

  25. Re:USA 2nd World? on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1


    When you have socialized healthcare you get what you pay for. That's why no medical advancements come out of nations with such systems.

    Nonsense.

    I work at Canada's National Research Council and can tell you that you're 100% wrong on this.
