  1. Same thing for NHL on Is There A Madden Curse? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think the same thing may very well go for the EA Sports NHL series as well. Off the top of my head:

    2003: Jerome Iginla - awful 02-03 season (by his standards).

    2002: Mario Lemieux - awful Penguins 02-03 season, plus injury-plagued.

    2001: Owen Nolan - injury-plagued, trapped on also-ran Sharks for years. Unable to save Maple Leafs' during playoffs last year.

    2000: Chris Pronger - out with injuries for most of 02-03.

    1999: Eric Lindros - Concussion Boy; also, Lung Filling With Blood Boy.

    1998: Peter Forsberg - Had to have spleen removed last year.

  2. Re:Would you like to play... on World's First Game-Playing DNA Computer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Strange game...the only winning move is not to play.....or GATTATTCCAATTACA.

  3. Re:Central Boston not affected on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apart from the ongoing Curse, of course. ;)

  4. Re:Gulf stream stopping on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 1

    Slashdot definitely needs a way for original posters to indicate that their posts are bullshit and return the karma to the pool.

    Coincidentally, since the karma is already floating in the pool, the overall karma level won't rise if you "return" it to the pool.

  5. Uma on Renegade Reverse Engineering - John Woo Style · · Score: 2, Funny

    Stop! You had me at "Uma Thurman as the female lead."

  6. Very efficient! on Aquarium Modcase · · Score: 3, Funny

    You know, if you used the aquarium as part of your cpu cooling system, you can have pre-cooked fish for every meal! Very efficient, cost-effective, and downright healthy!

  7. What can you do? on When Wrongfully Accused of Hacking, What Can You Do? · · Score: 3, Funny

    What can you do? Hack into their network and take the lying bastards down, that's what!

  8. Hey on Music Software for Mac OS X? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Funny you should ask, as this showed up in Fink Stable today:

    lilypond 1.6.10-2 (GNU Music Typesetter)

    LilyPond prints beautiful sheet music. It produces music notation from a description file. It excels at typesetting classical music, but you can also print pop-songs. LilyPond input is plain text. So, you can use your favorite text editor to enter it, you can put it in mail or embed it in an article like this: \key c \minor r8 c16 b c8 g as c16 b c8 d | g,4 Or you can use it to print music from other programs, using one of the numerous input filters. LilyPond output looks beautiful. The font and the layout algorithms were inspired by engraved music, so you can expect that same clear and elegant look from your LilyPond output. And if anything is not to your liking, you can tweak almost everything. [Fink Packages (Stable)]

  9. The real difference on The Introvert Advantage · · Score: 4, Funny

    Extroverts think out loud while an introvert does it internally. Rather like the difference between an exoskeleton and an endoskeleton: same basic functionality, but the former is better off steamed with some garlic butter and a nice chilled wine.

  10. Re:Great.. now I'd like to on Walk-thru Fog Screen · · Score: 1

    That's the one where Bill Gates has a goatee and runs a company reknown for its innovation. ;)

  11. Witticism on Literary MUD Gets Oscar Wilde Bot · · Score: 3, Funny

    The only thing worse than being a bot in a "literary-orientated", text-based multiuser role-playing game is to not be a bot in a "literary-orientated", text-based multiuser role-playing game.

  12. I've got an idea! on 11-Pound Model Plane Vs. The Atlantic, Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    Get in touch with the English Channel skydiver and set up a cross promotion: Skydiver Flies (and Flies Model Plane) Across Atlantic.

    Q. Which reminds me of an old joke: what do you get when you cross the Titanic and the Atlantic Ocean?

    A. About halfway.

  13. Re:Would you call it... on Scientists Clone Horse · · Score: 1

    Spare mare?

    Fauxl

  14. Re:Would you call it... on Scientists Clone Horse · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, it's "My Little Clony"

  15. Re:Also "to cheap"... on Last Chance for Slashdot T-Shirt Contest · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're new here, aren't you?

    Really, that should have been "Your new here..."

  16. Re:GNU-Darwin Background: Pudge is wrong on The GNU-Darwin World · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dude, I *emailed you* to confirm that story before I posted on MacSlash, and you confirmed it. Is there some other version of fair reporting you'd like?

  17. Re:Oh god... on Romancing The Rosetta Stone · · Score: 4, Funny

    Having your throat slit is nothing compared to what Klingons do to people who put smiley-faces in their text messages...

    You're telling me! My emoticons used to have noses! Now look:

    :(

    Such a tragedy.

  18. Turning the tide on Ask Bruce Perens About Linux and Open Source · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In recent weeks, we've seen a concerted attack of FUD regarding open source in general but Linux in particular; all signs point to this being but the first in a series of new battles. I think it's been too easy for a lot of people to scoff at SCO's brazen and seemingly suicidal behavior, mistaking what is in fact a serious threat.

    With that in mind, what are some ways you think open source/free software users and organizations can counter these attacks and, much more importantly, attack back?

  19. Re:Oh god... on Romancing The Rosetta Stone · · Score: 1

    Yay! We can finally finish translating all of Shakespear into English.

    I'm pretty sure you can have your throat slit for saying "Yay!" near a Klingon. Do be careful. ;)

  20. Mac OS X Version on Scribus 1.0 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    For Mac OS X users, there is a version of Scribus (RC1 of 1.0, I believe.) in fink-unstable. Not the latest version (and not stable of course), but might be worth a look-see.

  21. Well, just goes to show... on Details of Linux-in-Munich Deal Revealed · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess Ballmer's "Ich bin ein Bavarian Creme Pie" speech didn't go over so good with the Mayor. ;)

  22. Re:Wha??? on All The Rave · · Score: 3, Funny

    No shit. livegoats just made it to my foes list. What a moron.

    Let's see...User number over 600000 and no comments. Hey, it could be Jon Katz in disguise! ;)

  23. Re:In a related story... on Olmos Tells Fans: "Don't Watch Galactica" · · Score: 1

    Well, it was Bill that said Leonard was the one, so he may have been lying to cover his own sins. ;)

  24. Re:In a related story... on Olmos Tells Fans: "Don't Watch Galactica" · · Score: 3, Funny

    Of course, Bill probably did a little too much LDS in the 60s.

  25. Re:Allow me to ask.. on Linux on the Desktop · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Actually, what I'd like to see is some OSX fanatics compare and contrast linux and windows.

    They both suck! Next question?

    ;D <--------------- please note
