  1. Re:I have problems with this on Muslim Medical Students Boycott Darwin Lectures · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't perceive the multiverse.

    Don't worry, there's a universe where you can.

  2. Re:What About The Parents? on Later School Start For Teenagers Brings Drop In Absenteeism · · Score: 4, Funny

    And I certainly don't want to know that nun's don't have sex. That's half of my video collection ruined.

    Yes. Your marketing department may also be interested to know that, while inte... er... concentrated in the camps, those people would be provided all means to keep themselves in shape - such as healthy and challenging labor.

    Would this labour free them in some way? I'm also looking for a tagline for the German market.

  4. Re:First post on Google Apologizes For "Michelle Obama" Results · · Score: 4, Funny

    Would these camps have a high concentration of people in them? I want to know, because I have marketing on the phone, and they're looking for a catchy name.

    No, obviously not. Likening Michelle Obama to a monkey is insulting her because she is black, and is therefore racist. Likening Bush to a monkey is not insulting him because he is white, and so is not racist.

    So, what you are saying is that because Michelle Obama is black, she is closer to being a monkey than a non-black? That in itself sounds quite racist.

  6. Savvis on Slashdot's Setup, Part 1- Hardware · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nice to see you're hosted by a Microsoft Gold Partner. That's a benchmark of quality.

  7. Re:The Sun? Don't make me laugh. on Doctor Who To Be Axed, Again · · Score: 1

    The only thing it gets right is the publication date

    Seeing as on the rare occasions it does get something right, the story is already ancient, one could argue that not even the publication date is correct.

  8. Re:Why is this on /. on Pirates Promise Improved Version of DaVinci Code · · Score: 1

    Stop trying to pretend that there is only one point of view on slashdot.

    Yes, stop it, they all hate that.

    Sorry, couldn't resist.

  11. In other news... on Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon · · Score: 1

    ...Microsoft will be releasing a new version of windows which is better than OS X, soon.

    Duke Nukem will be out soon, too, and if you order before the end of the month, it will be delivered in a flying car.

    So, if I were to choose one of these, which one would be best? Vi or Emacs?

    Can you get free advertising for anything running linux nowadays?

    Well, let's see...

    Come to venditor the European shopping search engine and directory.

    It's not finished completely yet, but since when has that been a problem?

  15. Gone Downhill Already on British Goverment to Reshape BBC Governance · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A long time ago, the BBC was run by programme makers, and it was respected throughout the world for it's high quality programme making.

    Then, around the end of the eighties, the accountants took over, and the quality ethics was jettisoned in favour of cost cutting.

    Since then the BBC has slowly drifted towards the lower end of the market with programmes like Eastenders being shown 30 times a week, with an omnibus edition lasting all Sunday.

    The government charter should be changed in favour of bringing the programme makers back.

  16. Sometimes it's the technical guys who suck on Non-Technical Managers in a Technical Company? · · Score: 1

    It can be a complete pain having a manager who insists on being technical instead of managing.

    I would rather have someone who knows how to manage

    A true pioneer of modern computing is gone.

    Well, this is fairly wrong but some of the truth is there.

    A 'ring' of truth, perhaps?

  19. Re:Delicious Library on We Pay Our Rent By Buying Coffee · · Score: 2, Informative

    That would be 'your majesty', not 'your grace'.

    'Your grace', is reserved for higher levels of religion, like witches.

    Of course, if you are quite friendly with the Queen, you may call her 'your maj'.

    Don't worry, if this was the Apple section, the same comments would be being made about RealBasic.

    If you thought 9/11 was big think again, we are talking about FOUR HUNDRED 9/11s here.

    You're right. The comment regarding clusters was 'Would you use two strong shire horses to plough a field, or 1000 rats?'.
