  1. Re:My first window manager on Enlightenment Lives · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hey, load up Fink and you can have Enlightenment on your Powerbook. Or any of a bunch of other window managers.

  2. Re:This is the way Slashdot will be made irrelevan on Windows Laptops Ship With Linux Media Player · · Score: 1

    Man, did some bully take your Windows 95 disks away when you were a kid?

    Take a look at the /. sections in the lefthand column. Do you see a Windows section? Frickin' BSD has a section. If you don't like the attitude, go hang out on MSN groups or something.

  3. Joogle? on How Google Could Overthrow AIM · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Joogle? No. Should be called Gabber. :)

  4. Re:No thanks. on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 1

    I can spot a pattern here.

    Me too -- the third trilogy will be awesome! ;)

  5. Han shot first! on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Hokey moneygrabbing and ancient storylines are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

  6. Re:What a waste! on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 2, Funny

    I live in L.A. After the 1994 Northridge quake, I remember looking up and being stunned by how many stars I could see (at 0445 PST).

    Yeah, I remember that too -- after the quake they all just came streaming out of Beverly Hills and wandered around West Hollywood in a daze. ;)

  7. Re:I can just see the eBay ads ... on Turbine Starts The Spin For Middle-Earth Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't trust this user! I've recently had dealings with him which proved him to be a deceiver and liar. If I hadn't just tried to immolate myself and my wounded son, I would register a complaint with ebay.

    Sincerely,
    Denethor

  8. Re:SUBSPACE !!! on Gravitation Anomaly Measured · · Score: 5, Funny

    waiting for the Bord

    We are the Bord.
    Ennui will envelope you.
    Existence is futile.

  9. TV? Not necessarily... on Is America Ready For Competitive Gaming On TV? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You're assuming that TV is the end-all be-all for this format. Why not a television-like production streamed online instead, where your audience is more likely to exist and be more easily advertargeted.

  10. CRM... on Oracle Releases New CRM Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is it just me or does the phrase "customer relationship management" give anybody else the heebie-jeebies?

  11. Ack on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    It's a tossup amongst three.

    Darkness Falls. Should have been called Suckness Rises.

    Cold Creek Manor. Great cast. Awful, awful, awful screenplay.

    Strangeland. So bad (and not in a good-bad way), we tried to spare other renters the experience by hiding the DVD at Blockbuster. ;)

  12. Yay! on Life After Doom · · Score: 1, Funny

    Hollenshead also notes that an as yet unidentified developer with 'a name that people recognize' has licensed the Doom 3 engine.

    And here I was worried all this time that Daikana II wasn't going to make it to market! ;)

  13. Re:Cybernectics and sports on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Will we restrict games to only people who haven't had their genes tampered with and those who are chip-free.

    I suspect in that future time sports fans will look back on our current unenhanced sports period the same way we look back on 19th Century sports: with some nostalgia, but shaking our heads at the quaint rules and customs.

  14. Purple Weed vs Beetle on Purple Weed vs. Beetle · · Score: 3, Funny

    When I first saw the title, I figured this was a hippy-related article. :)

    Woodstock announcer: "Don't eat the brown acid-- Oh and for God's sake, stay away from the purple weed!"

  15. Re:Its Usenet not google groups. on Online Replacements for Desktop Apps? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Perhaps the poster was demonstrating Google Groups as a replacement for a desktop newsreader app. ;)

  16. An old joke on Ford Launches First American Hybrid · · Score: 3, Funny

    Guess we need to update the old acronym:

    "Found On Road, Drained."

  17. Re:That seems awful complicated on EA Sports Debuts Premium Pass - Moving Toward Subscriptions? · · Score: 1

    Where do I put in my quarter?

    You don't want to know.

  18. Re:Want to know what Microsoft is going to do next on Microsoft Will Try Out Blog Service In Japan · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just look at what Google is doing today.

    Or what Apple did yesterday. ;)

  19. Re:They're in for an unpleasant surprise... on Sun Pondering Buying Novell · · Score: 1

    Are you pondering what I'm pondering

    I think so Brain, but if they called them "sad meals," kids wouldn't buy them!

  20. Well, of course on Remote-controlled Bolts and Screws · · Score: 1

    This is going to give "Hardware Store" a whole new meaning. :)

  21. Better Yet on Around The Country Without Gasoline · · Score: 4, Funny

    Better yet, ride a bike around the country. Bio-powered. Some emissions, but nothing the environment can't handle. :)

  22. Re:Old News for Nerds, Stuff that's Days Old on DoubleClick Hit by DDoS Attack · · Score: 4, Insightful

    let subscribers do it like Fark does.

    Yeah, 'cause there's no bastion of journalistic potency like Fark.

    Granted this story broke yesterday, but since you obviously already knew about it from *some* source, I don't see what the problem is. Now we get to discuss it on /.

  23. Solution on Sleeping Problems? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I was wondering how many Slashdot readers suffer from this problem, and what they do to combat it ?"

    Go to work. Repeat as necessary.

  24. Wrong question. on Features of a post-HTTP Internet? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Any ideas on how you would develop a post-HTTP/HTML internet?

    First identify the problem, then you can start devising solutions.

    So what's the problem? You mention certain limits of HTTP/HTML. Would these be overcome with better applications rather than throwing everything out?

  25. Oh, the humanity on It's the Documentation, Stupid! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dang, dude. You wrote a rant over 1300 words long complaining about lack of documentation. Imagine if you and similar pundits contributed those words to the documentation of deserving projects.

    But, alas, whining is the quicker path.
