  1. Re:The First Terminator on Robots to Rid Us of Cockroaches? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it technically be an ExTerminator??

    He's just pinin' for the fjords.

  2. Re:Money from DVD? on Web Comics Make The Small Screen · · Score: 1

    beer and olives

    Ewwwwwwwwwww. Olives are bad enough, but in your sweet, sweet beer? Ewwwwww!

  3. Re:Question Two on Ask Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade · · Score: 1

    A followup: name the console, the three games, and the source of electricity on that mythical desert isle. ;)

  4. Re:Disconnect and motivation on The Music Man · · Score: 4, Insightful

    American culture is quite beautiful, rich, and storied.

    The mistake is looking for it on television, movies, or radio.

  5. Quoth the Wolverine... on Marvel Sues City of Heroes Makers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "'Scuse me for interruptin' your little shindig here, but I got a bone to pick with your boss-man and a couple of his pals." -- Wolverine

  6. In other news... on Theorists Tackle Mysterious 'Baby' Planet · · Score: 4, Funny

    The star claimed that it had never seen the planetary accretion disk before, much less "partied" with it.

    The accretion disk said it was drinking and couldn't remember exactly what happened, but said the star had promised to call it.

  7. Re:Gamers taking day off from work on Halo 2 Released · · Score: 1

    A day off from work? Tish-tosh! If it weren't for my ill-advised decision to try to write a novel this month, not to mention needing minor things like food and a house and stuff, I would be taking November off to play GTA: San Andreas. Stupid money.

  8. Re:Gotta say on Digital Retro · · Score: 1

    and will probably love my next machine even more

    The call 'em Macs now. ;)

  9. Re:I Kind of Wish on Using Layered Defenses to Stop Internet Worms · · Score: 3, Funny

    You think you're miffed, all the OS X worms come out a year later and don't even propagate automatically.

  10. Re:OK, Now Shuddup in Advance on Star Wars Episode III Teaser Trailer Today · · Score: 1

    George Lucas stole my childhoo...Aaaaugh! My spleen!

    George Lucas stole my splee...Aaaugh! My childhood!

  11. Re:Raising the bar on Give Your Brain A Boost · · Score: 1

    now I have to worry about staying current with brain improvement technology

    Sounds like this device "stays current" for you! ;)

  12. Re:Next cool thing? on Photoblog Revolution · · Score: 1

    "Next cool thing" "Blog world" Why are those phrases in the same sentence?

    You forgot to put "will have nothing to do with the" in the middle there.

  13. Laurels? on DoubleClick On The Blocks? · · Score: 4, Funny

    "DoubleClick has been resting on their laurels"

    If by "resting on their laurels" you mean "Need to be taken out back of the Interweb and beaten to within an inch of their lives. Twice." then by all means: rest away.

  14. Re:Before the Stanford machine crashed... on Internet Turns 35 Today · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yeah, they got it when they bought Cyberdyne Systems. They got some other machines, too, but it's best not to talk about those, ah, units.

  15. 35? on Internet Turns 35 Today · · Score: 5, Funny

    Damn, that's old. I think it's about time for the Internet to packet in.

    Ahem.

  16. Re:Ok, severe problem with your logic on Dept. of Homeland Security Enforces Expired Patent · · Score: 1

    And protecting the president isn't at first glance logically connected to the Department of the Treasury, but the Secret Service is under that department. I do think the trademark "enforcement" was a huge, stupid waste of time and effort, but don't get lost in the "logic" of bureaucracy at the expense of what's really going on in this story: the rights of American citizens being trampled right here at home.

  17. Re:OK! on Understanding 64-bit PowerPC architecture · · Score: 1

    Try submitting an "Ask Slashdot" with that question and see what happens.

    If it gets posted twice...well, let's just say this thread will be the ultimate power in the universe. ;)

  18. VSS Enterprise on Shatner Aims for Real 'Star Trek' · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is a really bad idea. You know at the first sign of trouble he's going to be "taking command."

  19. Kudos! on Group Warns on Consumption of Resources · · Score: 3, Funny

    the environmental group WWF warned in a new report Thursday.

    Kudos to them! God knows they've been wrestling with these issues for a long time.

    [Clears throat.]

  20. Re:That's nothing on The War Of The Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    You heard about the sequel, right? Duke Nukem Forever and Ever?

  21. Re:Wow... on Detailed Empire Strikes Back DVD Change List · · Score: 1

    Where can I get one?

    Library of Congress.

  22. Re:Enough? on RSS for Mac OS X Roundtable · · Score: 4, Funny

    It is quite an honor when The Ancient Ones grace us with their presence.

  23. Re:it's routine for some on Kamikaze Novel Writing · · Score: 1

    Write once, read anywhere. ;)

  24. Re:Enough? on RSS for Mac OS X Roundtable · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ahem...

    someonewhois (808065): "It seems like they're tons out there, why do people keep making more?"

    The same might be said for /. user accounts. ;)

  25. Re:Cheating on Kamikaze Novel Writing · · Score: 4, Informative
    As they point out in the faq:

    Yes, they can. But since the only real prize of NaNoWriMo is the self-satisfaction that comes with pulling off such a great, creative feat, we don't really worry too much about people cheating. Those who enter an impossibly high number or send in 50,000 words they copied from Wikipedia.org just to see their name on the Winner's page are pitiful indeed, and likely need more help than a downloadable winner's certificate can provide them.
