  1. Must...resist... on ICANN Releases Draft For New TLDs · · Score: -1, Troll

    ICANN has .chzbrgr? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It's like OCD, but for lolcats. Everytime the subject of ICANN comes up, I just lose all control.

  2. Re:The only confusing thing on In UK, Broadband Limits Confuse Nine In Ten Users · · Score: 1

    If you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, then why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?

  3. Re:not bloody likely on X-Rays Emitted From Ordinary Scotch Tape · · Score: 1

    I read it in Popular Science, maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I've since seen references to it here and there, but I can't turn anything up right now on Google.

  4. Re:Used on /, already on Scientists Erase Specific Memories In Mice · · Score: 2, Funny

    Slashcomma,org is actually a great site with well-written summaries, intelligent comments, and working CSS. Heaven knows how I mixed it up with this site.

  5. Used on /, already on Scientists Erase Specific Memories In Mice · · Score: 1

    Because everyone's forgotten we were discussing this not too long ago. I specifically rememeber someone saying they wanted to erase their first sexual experience.

  6. Re:Obama Is White on Voters Swayed By Candidates Who Share Their Looks · · Score: 1

    He seems to be black enough for most blacks. Gallup has been showing between 89 and 93% of America's blacks supporting Obama for months, compared to 48-55% whites supporting McCain. For some reason, this hasn't been the slightest bit newsworthy in the mainstream media.

  7. Re:not bloody likely on X-Rays Emitted From Ordinary Scotch Tape · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are walk-through scanners being tested right now for airports that detect the incredibly small amount of X-rays given off by the human body (the recent discovery of which prompted said scanners). The scanners are highly sensitive and passive, revealling everything, from metal weapons to plastic to *ahem* body parts. Seems plausible this type of source of X-rays, combined with a more sensitive detector could result in a less-power intensive alternative to traditional X-ray machines.

  8. Re:A new career beckons! on Voters Swayed By Candidates Who Share Their Looks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    With apologies to Tolstoy, beautiful people are all alike; every butt-ugly person is butt-ugly in their own way. You'd only appeal to those butt-ugly people that look like you.

  9. Re:TechTV on Finding Better Tech Broadcasts? · · Score: 2, Funny

    And I miss Turkey TV. I'm sure that helps even less.

  10. Re:Six continents? on Microsoft Calls Today Global Anti-Piracy Day · · Score: 1

    asia and/or south america are generally not referred to as continents.

    Please, PLEASE, post a single reference that says Asia or South America are not continents. Wikipedia says there are 7, as did every geography textbook and atlas I had growing up.

  11. IANAMB on Old Materials Resurface For "Prebiotic Soup" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    (I am not a molecular biologist), but can someone explain if there we could expect some changes to the composition over 60 years? Are some chemicals produced going to break down in that time?

  12. Master Splynter? on FBI Says Dark Market Sting Netted 56 Arrests · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why are we wasting our time on rodents when the Shredder is still out there?

  13. Re:What do they run on? on Flower Robots For Your Home · · Score: 1

    What, like out of the toilet?

  14. Re:Huh? on UK Court Rejects Encryption Key Disclosure Defense · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it's illegal now to just forget. "I'd love to help you officer, but I guess I just forgot it!"

  15. Sounds cool on Robotic Suit For Rent In Japan · · Score: 3, Funny

    What weapon systems come with it? I didn't see any listed, but I'd have to assume it at least has flamethrowers or some sort of rockets.

  16. Re:Nanosolar on Solyndra's Thin-Film Solar Cells Draw $1.2 Billion In Orders · · Score: 1

    Slashvertiseing? They're 4 years backed up on orders. I don't think they care right now about getting new ones.

  17. Re:Let's See. on Researchers To Build Underwater Airplane · · Score: 1

    No, cast iron sinks.

  18. Re:When will we have web based voting on Linux-Based E-Voting In Brazil · · Score: 1

    You should losen up.

  19. PREPARE FOR GLORY on Motorola To Hire 300 Android Developers · · Score: 1

    Gather 'round, slashdaughters. A new age is dawning, an age of open-source and freedom! And all will know that the 300 developers gave their last breath to develop it. WHOM!

  20. Yes on Australia Mulling a Nationwide Vehicle-Tracking System · · Score: 4, Funny

    If only we had more data available, we could stop all crime!

  21. Re:Nice step forward on California Sec. of State Wants Open Source E-Voting Systems · · Score: 1

    Strictly speaking, it's better than the alternative.

  22. Re:Now for the BIG decision on California Sec. of State Wants Open Source E-Voting Systems · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally, the year of the Linux voting machine has arrived!

    Like we all haven't previously learned this from the Jame Bond movie You Only Live Twice.

    Maybe you should get one of those pumps.

    Nonsense. All we need to do is step up the extraction at the unobtanium mines.
