  1. Re:One Resource on Classic Books of Science? · · Score: 1


    Man this sounds like I wrote it. Nicely put.

  2. Re:Step back a bit... on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 1

    Who's the $20/hour techy? I'm confused.

  3. Step back a bit... on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 5, Funny


    Disabling the camera with a script or somesuch won't convince the $12/hour security guard that there's no camera. How can one easily find portable devices without a built-in camera?

    Simple, non-technical solution: just hire $10/hour security guards!

  4. Re:oh goody on OpenBSD 4.5 Released · · Score: 1


    NetBSD 5 yesterday, OpenBSD 4.5 today and a three day weekend ahead

    Better use that long weekend to secure your home against the zombie horde. No telling when FreeBSD will release their brain-eating abominations.

  5. Re:Not like that... on OpenBSD 4.5 Released · · Score: 1


    Sparkling clean, secure code is wonderful, but when it's years behind the times in basic software kits.

    Perhaps the "basic software kits" have overreached their bounds? Too many irons in the fire isn't necessarily a good thing.

    Tortoise, hare, whatnot.

  6. Great-great-grandad. on Canadian Pirates Sell Spurious Songs — In 1897 · · Score: 1


    Yeah, my great-great-grandad did this, guess it's just in my genes. That'll be my defence in court!

  7. Re:We are a bunch on Air Force One Flyby Causes Brief Panic In NYC · · Score: 1

    That was funny. Thanks! :)

  8. Re:Oblig. on AMD Overclocks New Phenom II X4 To 7 GHz · · Score: 1


    Windows 7 runs on my grandma, and she's been dead for 30 years.

    You should try running one of the BSDs on her.

  9. Re:Queue Microsoft Trolls in on Intel Cache Poisoning Is Dangerously Easy On Linux · · Score: 5, Funny


    "With Windows this exploit can be used, but requires much more work and skill"

    That eliminates the VBS crowd, or about 99.8% of Windows 'programmers'.

  10. Re:Fun with acronyms. on Next-Gen Nuclear Power Plant Breaks Ground In China · · Score: 1

    That's a bit of a stretch. ie.: A meteor hitting New York is hardly the fault of the people living there.

  11. Re:Earlier the female chose her mate by his fitnes on Do We Need Running Shoes To Run? · · Score: 3, Funny


    I think it's more like the female chose her mate by who ever hit her over the head and dragged her back to his cave.

    This method had failed me since the advent of pepper spray.

  12. Re:Pro-MS press?!?!? on "Apple Tax" Report Backfires On Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny


    Hell, they've been treating Steve Jobs' recent illness as if the Pope himself had cancer.

    Stands to reason, both those men run a world-wide cult.

  13. ha ha ha on Work Progresses On 10,000 Year Clock · · Score: 5, Interesting


    This modern-day Stonehenge will be scavenged for parts and resources long before 10,000 years. Much like how the original Stonehenge was.

  14. Re:The quote in the article is wrong on Politician Angry Over "Gay" Elephant In Zoo · · Score: 1


    The translation in the summary must have automated from google, I couldn't figure out what he was angry about. Yours makes much more sense.
    Thank you!

  15. Priorities! on Microsoft Delays Stirling Security Suite · · Score: 2, Interesting


    Perhaps they realized that a good code audit and general cleanup would eliminate the need for much of the bolt-on "Stirling".

  16. Re:I missed it? on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 1


    Am I the only one who spent the boat scene thinking "why the hell did they not push the button yet?"?

    I thought the Joker would have rigged them backwards and the criminals would have blown themselves up instead of the other boat.

    Nope, nothing happened and that crap just made the movie too long.

  17. Awesome! on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1


    I can't wait to earn the fabled Wizard Cape & Greased Yoda Doll achievement!

  18. Hm... on EA Releases DRM License Deactivation Tool · · Score: 5, Funny


    Once downloaded, the tool will search your drives for EA games infested with the draconian online DRM system

    I bet that's not a quote from EA's documentation.

  19. Not enough... on Want a PC With 192 GB of RAM? · · Score: 4, Funny


    ...640 GB should be enough for anybody.

  20. A *greased* Yoda? on Activists Use Wikipedia To Test Aussie Net Censors · · Score: 2, Informative


    Ah fuck. I was supposed to grease up the Yoda doll? That explains the horrible pain and encrusted blood on the backside of my wizard's robe.

  21. Translation on Chimp Found Plotting Against Zoo Guests · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Translation: "I'm an intelligent primate who doesn't like being caged up for your amusement."

  22. Re:Oklahoma? on Oklahoma, Vatican Take Opposite Tacks On Evolution · · Score: 2


    But to not believe, don't you have to acknowledge or believe in something first?

    I do not believe there is a miniature, invisible pink unicorn under my bed. Are you saying at one time I believed there was?

    Durrr.....

  23. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1


    Who goes to chain Italian restaurants anyway?

    There's an Olive Garden right next to my trailer park, you insensitive clod!

  24. Lame lame lame on Advance In Making Stem Cells From Skin · · Score: 5, Funny

    Make stem cells the way nature intended: from aborted fetuses.

    Quit wimping around.

  25. Re:And for $20 more ... on Microsoft Sued Over Vista-To-XP Downgrade Fees · · Score: 1


    The market for computers without an operating system is zero, so nobody sells them that way.

    Dell's N series comes with no OS. OK, sure, you get a DOSish CD with it but the hard disk is clean.

    Not sure if they still sell them but we bought several at work for Linux & OpenBSD machines.
