    Not just prison...Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison!

  3. Re:Coin-operated conapt doors on Philip K. Dick's 'Ubik' To Be Filmed · · Score: 1

    Hey Douglas Adams took this one step further, with his idea of doors that happily close or open with a swoosh, or something, with words that cheerily remind you of the pleasure they've had of serving you

  4. Re:Hear Much? on Review of the Model M-Inspired Unicomp Customizer Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Thats when I slurp my coffee loudest so they know what I am doing in lieu of typing. Don't forget the obligatory 'Aaaaaaah....'

  5. I even looked at the SpaceSaver model on Review of the Model M-Inspired Unicomp Customizer Keyboard · · Score: 1

    somebody help me out here: what's the difference, aside from the color? What space are we saving, exactly?

    Looks like it's wider than my desk...

  6. Re:Well, yeah... on Stealing From Banks One Cent at a Time · · Score: 1

    Real identity? That leaves out "Cowboy Neal", then...what fun is that?

    SYstem access (I know, *groan)

  8. NASCAR aint got nothin on this on The Phoenix Has Landed · · Score: 1

    Heck even if it did crash, that's got to be the fastest thing we're ever built. 120,000 km/hr? And that's without a a whalefin spoiler...

    Congratulations to the team! Made it to MARS t-shirts for everyone! (or You call that FAST? t-shirts soon to follow!)

  9. Re:Obvious question... on Welcome to the New Slashdot Chicago Cluster · · Score: 3, Funny

    So when will you break the news to The Robotic Overlord that he is NOT really new, but made of scrap parts, and we only had a new faceplate riveted in, and implanted 1 Gig's worth of fake memories, huh? Huh?

    So that when he asks, Is this all true? You reply with a sardonic tone, Remember all those dupes?

  10. Thats fine and dandy but on Help Slashdot Test Our New Data Center · · Score: 1

    ...will we be getting I helped test Slashdot t-shirts?

  11. This would be the best time to on Getting Rid of Staff With High Access? · · Score: 1

    ...hit up on that office co-worker, and say, Hey now that I no longer work for the company, I say we relax those rules about inter office dating. Friday sound good?

  12. Re:It's really the company's decision on Getting Rid of Staff With High Access? · · Score: 1

    But don't forget to turn around, Maxwell-Smart style complete with pointing finger, and say 'Oh and one other thing: You can take this job and... ...as the elevator door closes before they hear the rest of it.

    A god...with no dates. What good is that?

  15. Re:For us lazy readers... on Dag Wieers Scoffs at Coordinated Linux Release Proposal · · Score: 1

    The funny part is, for this Mandriva/mandrake user, when you put Dag and rpms together like that, it rang a bell. I remember stumbling upon the collection when I was searching for an rpm for something.

  16. Re:Because haptics is important. on Why Did Touch Take 4 Decades to Catch On? · · Score: 1

    Now that is a home entertainment system. I just hope that with all your viewing options, none of them ends up too boring that you make the couch face the saltwater aquarium...

  17. Re:Picture Frame on What To Do With Old Laptops? · · Score: 1

    Does SETI@home have a linux version that is attractive as the Windows screensaver one?

  18. Re:That sinking feeling we all got on Microsoft and OLPC Agree To Put XP On the XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    What is Latin for 'You know where you can put that sticker' (not you, man, but MS)

  19. Re:You are missing the point. on David Pogue Gushes Over the Chumby · · Score: 1

    Fair point, but I think his reply is more to the naysayers and the ones that whine 'You can't do this...' or 'It doesn't have...', and somebody looking for just that ONE item he may have mentioned can decide whether they're buying soft-and-cuddly or chrome-and-cool (later, Mother I got you something itsinthemail alright)

  20. Do they blink? on Life-Size Photo of a Blue Whale · · Score: 1

    Or is my flash not working? =)

  21. Re:Maybe less motion sickness. on Screen With 180 Degree Field of View · · Score: 1

    Having the game create a sphere map

    There was actually a mod for Classic quake specifically for this one. Like a fish-eye mod, wide FOV of course. Regular FOV was enough for me, but if I get my hands on a widescreen LCD I'm revisiting this one.

  22. Re:Zeppelins Over California on Zeppelins Over California · · Score: 1

    But...but they promoted planes!

  23. Re:Why take a snapshot? on "Back To My Mac" Catches a Thief · · Score: 1

    Damn that is smexy.

    On another note, I hope the thief wasn't setting up a MySpace web page. It just screams Death Penalty!

    P.S. Note. Viola? Apologies...

  24. Re:crippled hardware = bad performance on Microsoft Decides To Take On Linux On Low-Cost PCs · · Score: 2, Funny

    C'mon, why the limits on the hardware specs?

    They thought that would be a better option than a sticker on each of these products that says: "CAPABLE of bearing a sticker with the word VISTA on it!"

  25. Re:Outsourcing bioinformatics! on Folding@Home 2.0 - An Online Protein Folding Game · · Score: 1

    Think about it: thousands of children, solving protein stuctures for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, at $0.50/hour. The prescription drug companies could lay off all their bioinformaticians, outsource their drug discovery program to Indonesia, and cure cancer in one fell swoop.

    Damn, I could probably have my very own vat-grown ninja, thaw when needed, to get those kids off my lawn! After they've migrated here, of course.
