  1. I could almost believe it... on Gamespot Previews World of Starcraft · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...until I got to the part about it being a free download. Shyeah, right!

  2. Re:Yo Zonk! It's the 2nd now! on Open Source Dress for Success University Opens · · Score: 1

    Yesterday we had people in the US complaining that it wasn't April 1 yet (well, not in their timezone). And today we have people in Australia complaining that it's not April 2 anymore (well, not in their timezone).

    Going by the time they started (midnight UTC), they've still got 2 hours left. Which won't, of course, stop the complaining.

  3. Oh, Make *magazine* on MAKE Switches To BUY · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought this was about the GNU compiler tools!

  4. Follow-up, not dupe on Open Source Dress for Success University Opens · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it's a foolow-up?

  5. Isn't there a TV show? on Open Source Dress for Success University Opens · · Score: 3, Funny

    "MBA Eye for the OSS Guy," or something like that?

  6. I, for one... on The Cure for Information Overload · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...welcome our new Information Overloads.

  7. Absolutely. on The Cure for Information Overload · · Score: 1

    It seems that the cure for information overload is unlikely to be misinformation overload.

  8. Re:3 lines of code is bloatware! on SQL on Rails Launched · · Score: 1

    You may laugh, but I've actually written a search engine that way.

    Admittedly, the site in question went into operation exactly one year ago...

  9. Scoogle? on Microsoft Blogger Robert Scoble Goes to Google · · Score: 1

    Or Scogle?

  10. First Dupe! on CUTE USB SUSHI DISK DRIVES!!! · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sushi USB drives reported here!

  11. Sneaky! on CUTE USB SUSHI DISK DRIVES!!! · · Score: 2, Informative

    Now anyone who hasn't seen these before will think they're a hoax!

    <voice audio="Mr. Burns">Excellent!</voice>

  12. Sounds like Bunnies and Burrows on FORGET DRAGONS! TIME FOR PONIES!!!1! · · Score: 1

    From Steve Jackson Games, it's GURPS Bunnies and Burrows.

    No, really!

  13. Re:c'mon on FORGET DRAGONS! TIME FOR PONIES!!!1! · · Score: 1

    Now its reminds me of that kid in school who got way too excited about something and couldn't stop talking about it.

    Isn't that Slashdot's target audience?

  14. Re:Que trolls on OMG!!! OMG OMG!!! LINUS LIKES PINKDOT!!! LOL!!! · · Score: 1

    Que trolls? Siempre hay muchos trolls aquí. Es Slashdot.

    Oh, you meant cue trolls! My mistake!

    Well, it doesn't *say* the arm was programmed using C#, but you never know...

  16. Re:Nice... on OMG!!! OMG OMG!!! LINUS LIKES PINKDOT!!! LOL!!! · · Score: 1

    Must be allergic to the ponies...

    Ahhh...CHOO!

  17. If you can't beat 'em... on Microsoft Buys OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    ...buy 'em!

  18. Awesome, but can it run on an Intel Mac? on SQL on Rails Launched · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been trying to set up a new web server running in a VMWare instance of Fedora Core 5 on Windows XP Home booting on an Intel Mac. Anyone know if SQL on Rails is compatible with this setup?

  19. I, for one... on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 1

    ...welcome our new Cute Overloads.

  20. Re:Got to respect The Economist on Here There Be Dragons · · Score: 1

    Yeah. I could actually believe someone would do the computer simulationsm, though there were clues even in that part of the article. Aside from the matter of how much genome data we have to start with, it's the kind of think you expect some team of grad students to come up with for fun in their off hours, like the guys who measured the flatness of a pancake in a laser microscope and compared it to elevation data for Kansas (to determine, one and for all, whether Kansas really is as flat as a pancake). Referring back to the older article with "Paolo Fril's" previous endeavor was a nice touch. It's not until you get to the "Let's synthesize the DNA and put it in a cell!" plan that the klaxons start *really* going off.

  21. Re:"Haemaurin" and "aurinase" on Here There Be Dragons · · Score: 1

    Well, Paulo Fril is an anagram. Still trying to figure out San Melito.

  22. Re:Time to Overload the Cute! on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, they do at least have penguin pictures. It's kinda Linuxy.

  23. Re:Yeah, right... on OMG WIRELESS EXTENSION CORDS!!! LOL!!! · · Score: 1

    Consider: We know the toasters are migrating now. We also know they are migrating in response to the approach of winter. Therefore, they must be in the southern hemisphere. That means that in order to head for the tropics -- or for the summer in the opposite hemisphere -- they must migrate northward.

  24. Time to Overload the Cute! on CUTEST WEB SITE EVER DISCOVERED!!! · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't know how much traffic Cute Overload gets, but judging by the number of large images on their home page, I think they're about to get overloaded themselves...

  25. Worst. April Fools. Ever!!!! on OMG WIRELESS EXTENSION CORDS!!! LOL!!! · · Score: 1

    At least, that's what I'm imagining him saying...
