  1. Advertising Standards Authority on Microsoft: We Make Hackers Obsolete · · Score: 5, Informative

    If anyone else was confused by the appearance of the "Advertising Standards Authority", it should be pointed out that this all occurred in South Africa, and not in the United Corporations of America.

    America, naturally, would never CONSIDER such an insightful group.

  2. Re:I wonder if they've solved... on Chi Mei Announces 20" Active Matrix OLED Display · · Score: 1

    If they do decay, and they're so inexpensive that they are disposable, how recyclable are they? We've got landfills full of dead computer parts already and don't need to encourage it.

  3. Re:5 year lifespan for hardware? on R.I.P. Original iMac: 1998-2003 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Five years is nothing. How long has beige owned the PC market?

  4. Re:That's 11m pounds on Spider-Man Has Back Problems · · Score: 1

    Eleven Million Pounds??? Damn, no wonder his back hurts! That's a lotta fat to get into that Spandex.

  5. Re:Monkeys on Teach A Robot To Drive, Win A Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    Slashdot can provide the monkeys and gas. Unfortunately the gas-emitting monkeys will be left to either public transportation or begging the keys from their simian parents.

  6. Re:Where are they getting this information? on AMD Opteron Due In April · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why are you doubting them? It's on /. now, and that's all the proof that I need.

  7. Portland, Oregon on Great Surplus Stores? · · Score: 1

    Wacky Willie's. Never know what you'll find there, but just reading the humorous shelf tags is worth the trip. NW Portland.

  8. Re:Hey, stupid! on Centrino Laptops Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    One thing you are missing, barspin. If they did send /. a laptop for review, you KNOW that they'd post a story about it at LEAST twice. Call it the Taco 2 for 1 special.

  9. Re:good idea for other reasons on Peer Pressure Porn Filter · · Score: 5, Funny

    We all know about your addiction. I see your user name posting all the time on Slashdot. You really should get a life.

  10. Re:could be just what we need... on SETI@Home 2nd Look at Possible Hits · · Score: 3, Funny

    They'd better not stop at my house first, cuz I'll blow smokerings in their bug-eyed grey faces, too. Hell, I don't even smoke. But I keep a pack of cigs right next to the door for just that type of emergency.

    The Mormon's have already condemned me to Hell, so I might as well take the planet with me for company.

  11. Re:Slashdotted on The Tyranny of Email · · Score: 0

    Sorry, but I'd rather read it to you over the phone.

  12. Re:Which would be better... on SuSE may drop out of UnitedLinux · · Score: 1

    Damn you, like I needed a freaking Peaches and Herb song going through my head. It wouldn't be so bad if the voices weren't singing along...

  13. Re:Author is Mitchell Baker on Why Browser Innovation Matters · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Anyone with a title like that is likely to be on the receiving end of sexual advances more adventurous than most of us."

    Like that's saying much. *sigh*

  14. Re:Keep it up ATi. on ATi Radeon 9800 Pro · · Score: 1



    Four hundred dollar car? When did ATI start reproducing the Pinto?

  15. Re:Hey michael on ATi Radeon 9800 Pro · · Score: 1

    Easily handled. Just go into your preferences and filter him out. Maybe if enough people filter him out the same thing will happen to Michael as what happened to Katz. He just ceased to exist.

  16. Re:HardCard on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1

    "With all my gay little files from when I was 12 years old. 16-color porn, anyone?"

    "Mister Pilferer, a Mister Townsend is on line 2 for you, sir."

  17. Re:BSA Manual: on BSA Accuses OpenOffice Mirrors · · Score: -1, Redundant

    3. ??? 4. Profit???

  18. Re:What? on Taiwan Forces MS To Cut Prices, Unbundle Software · · Score: 4, Informative

    Open Office for Windows reads .doc files just fine.

  19. Finally! on Baby Bells Promise Broadband Stagnation · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Baby Bells Promise Broadband Stagnation"

    So glad to hear that they have finally found a promise they can keep. They've missed two DSL install dates so far at my place.

  20. Re:Icon of the Space Age on NASA Gives Up On Pioneer 10 · · Score: 1

    " It was world famous when the probe was launched, because it was mankind's first attempt to communicate [planetary.org] beyond the solar system."

    Minor factual error. We sent William Shatner, Leonard Nemoy, and many others out a few years before Pioneer 10.

  21. Re:A/S/L? on Slashback: Intuit, Telemetry, Meetup · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, but some of the guys will have some nice breasts.

  22. Re:Another upgrade on Office 2003 Beta 2 Screen Shots · · Score: 1

    For the extra three, I'm assuming.

  23. Re:Indeed. on Ogg Vorbis Portables On The Way · · Score: 1

    I really wouldn't worry about the RIAA here - more likely is the FCC who dictates frequency spectrum allocation, but the transmitting range should be short enough to satisfy their requirements.

    Shouldn't be a problem. There are already a bunch of CD changers that broadcast to your car FM radio to avoid having to make a physical connection between the changer and the deck.

  24. Re:What's worse... on A Music Industry Case Study · · Score: 4, Funny

    At forty grand a year, do you REALLY think that they can afford a supermodel girlfriend and/or a heroin habit? Hell no! It's all they can do to afford the pierced skank and her antibiotics, and MAYBE a taste for Diet Rite soda.

  25. To heck with those games on Unreal History of the Atari 2600 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was sitting here scratching my head thinking "They had Unreal for the Atari 2600?"
