  1. Slashdotted on Getting Your Boss To Buy Lava Lamps · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I bet all of his fucking lava lamps are burning brightly.

  2. Re:The horse is out of the barn for good..... on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    I know they're Belgian, and traditionally served with mayo.

    Thanks for the sympathy, by the way.

  3. Supermarket Trollies on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    It started with small things like having to put coins in supermarket supermarket trollies, and now it's spreading almost everywhere.

    It's the assumption that most people (including you valued customers) are dishonest scum, and treating them accordingly.

  4. Re:To identify... on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't passenger lists do this?

  5. Re:The horse is out of the barn for good..... on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 0, Troll

    (hint: it happened in France and involved guillotines)

    Mass produced Freedom Fries?

  6. Re:My new book on Publisher Renames 'Katie.com' · · Score: 1

    If you got it published by Penguin, then who would their lawyers call?

  7. Well, ... on Katie Jones Interviewed · · Score: 1

    ...she lost my support. Her husband is the bastard who nabbed my beloved gareth.com domain.

    Now, if I were to write a book about it for Penguin, what should I call it?

  8. Good Old Tom on Dr Who, Daleks Kiss And Make Up · · Score: 1

    Was also the narrator for the pretty damned funny BBC comedy series Little Britain.

  9. Re:IN INDIA on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is this the first outsourced slashdot reading on record?

    That's already been released ... in Japan.

  11. Re:Wow! on Toshiba Unveils Laptop With Instant-On TV & DVR · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the spymac link

    What do you guys think of the new imac also being a tv?? I mean think of that awsome 20in screen you could have a computer and tv all in one. For those small rooms or even say dorms. You could also hook your console and vcr up to it. I do not have any true info about this it just came out of my head.


    Speculation or shooting the breeze?

    And have to pay a visit to the Klinik

  13. Re:Heh on KDE 3.3 Beta "Klassroom" Released · · Score: 1

    I hope he has Kondoms.

  14. Re:Heh on KDE 3.3 Beta "Klassroom" Released · · Score: 1

    That's where it splashes out and gets an open top Kar.

  15. Re:Heh on KDE 3.3 Beta "Klassroom" Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Then Kareer, before it ends up in a Krate

  16. Re:Daleks and Dollars on Daleks Exterminated From New Dr. Who · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The main problem with an estate wanting to editorial control is that there isn't a tenth of the talent in there as was in the person who died.

  17. Re:Not True on Apple Delays New iMac · · Score: 1

    OK, you have me on the iPod mini issue, but the reason the displays are not metallic is because they are old. The updated display fall into line with Apple policy, which started with the aluminium powerbooks, and is still being implemented.

    As for the iBook, you have already corrected yourself, so I will magnanimously forgive you on that one.

  18. Re:How to set up an archive from .doc formatted ms on Apple Delays New iMac · · Score: 1

    tr -d '\000' | tr '\227\007\221\222\223\224' "\-\|\`\'\"\"" | strings | perl -p -e's/[\n\r]/\n \n/;' -e 's/\|\|/\n\n/g;' -e's/\|/ \| /g;' | fmt | less

    I'm glad to see you kept it simple for the novices.

  19. Not True on Apple Delays New iMac · · Score: 4, Informative

    Apple currently has two distinct case types. White for home, and metallic for professional.

    The iBook, iMac and iPod are all white, while the Powerbook, Powermac and XServe are metallic.

    Don't forget Tiddles.

  21. Re:It's not just that the poster is a moron on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have many times been amazed at the calculating skills that imperial cooks must have.

    You should see the calculating skills of the rebel cooks.

  22. Imagine a... on Top 500 Supercomputer List Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ok, P'neer, then.

  24. Re:Visit them ! on Flashing Back to the Dotcom Era: 24 Hour Dotcom · · Score: 1

    I tried mistyping and instead of their example "google Obi-wan",
    I typed "googl Obi-wan", and the result was our old favourite NSFW asshole.

    Linux keeps me off Windows. OS X keeps me off Linux.
