    ...and that's when I met Tyler Durden.
     

  2. Meanwhile in Bill Gates' basement on Windows Bumps Unix as Top Server OS · · Score: 1

    ...Bill quietly chuckles to himself, satisfied that his $.2B purchase of Windows servers had gotten him the results he wanted...

    'Now for some serious cooling!'

  3. Re:Also works in Mail.app on Mac OS X Struck By Severe Security Hole · · Score: 1

    ...and sending the resulting JPG to yourself in Mail.app.

    You must think that us Mac owners are masochists.

    Well, maybe if we ditched all the eye-candy and ran RatPoison on the Mac desktop. Maybe.
     

  4. I've always wanted to set GNOMEmeetings to STUN on A Look at GNOME 2.14 · · Score: 1

    Oh, not that STUN. Damn.
     

  5. Re:IM is Overrated on IM On Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    Already locked and loaded, babay, ready 2 rok n roll...Why are you pointing that thing at me, it could be load...

    *BLAM*

  6. As long as we all agree... on Apple Gifts Top WebKit Contributors with MacBooks · · Score: 1

    ...that the recipients don't regift http://www.kavinay.com/dictionary/regifter.php
     

  7. Clearance sale at ThinkGeek on Limited Email Surveillance Approved · · Score: 1

    Those stickers that say "I read your email" suddenly take on new meaning.

    And will be featured in special editions of the 'Despair' and 'Demotivator' calendars if you pre-order now.

  8. Intel's concept laptop taking off then? on Always on Laptops · · Score: 1

    Here's a link but scroll down to the FLorence image:http://intel.com/technology/itj/2005/volume0 9issue01/intro/p06_new_usages.htm

    Me, I'd really want instant-on more than always on. The suspend on ol thinkpads PLUS linux always messes up the sound (even IBM admitted this at least for this OS), so I hardly use either one.
     

  9. Re:I must have misread it on John Romero Developing a MMOG · · Score: 1

    It's not a game unless it includes a final boss called http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=175431 &cid=14586192 the Dark Mother Goddess!

  10. Re:If I was going to buy it.... on The Optimus Mini Keyboard · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...and then your girlfriend borrows your PC for awhile, you start a utility that will make the OLEDs draw a big red heart with the words 'Will you marry me?' (just like the cards the audience flips over in the stadiums during games).

    Imagine the possibilities...

    Imagine having a girlfriend...

  11. Re:possible other prizes on LiveJournal XSS Security Challenge · · Score: 2, Funny

    The fine print:

    7-day trips to Club Med

    Actually, 7-day trips for two to Club Med, but in the event that you're going alone, doing the Han Solo thing, that'll be a 14-day trip for one. With a fully loaded mini-bar in your room if you ever get tired of 'shaking hands with the wookie'.
     

  12. Re:Fuck on Giant Octopus Attacks Sub · · Score: 1

    And we shall all remember those words uttered by our mighty hero, who struck first in the name of all those who dwell above the sea, against the fearsome creature filled with ages of loathing:

    "It was desperation. It's a $200,000 machine, and it's not insured."

    *cut!
     

  13. And the research came to an abrupt end when... on Brain Surgery Patient Trapped in a Mental Time Warp · · Score: 1

    Thank God. I thought everybody was just swearing like, F*** The Article...

    3. Sell yourself to the devil

    You know, I think I remember now exactly why we kept on not mentioning step number 3.
     

  16. Re:wonder what the range is? on Wireless USB hubs · · Score: 1

    Ahem* ...links, please? Or do we have to wait for an AskSlashdot 'How do I upgrade my basement to bondage dungeon?'

  17. Re:CN Lineup GITS:SAC-2nd GIG and FullMetal Alchem on Review of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex · · Score: 1

    AdultSwim is pushing Perfect Hair Forever

    You know, if this weren't Slashdot, I'd be asking, well, what's wrong with that?

  18. And now the cliched responses on Retrofitting an iPod into a Geiger Counter · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why?

    Turn in your geek badge.RIGHT NOW.

    I suddenly had this visual of him visiting the blast site of a meteor. All of his fellow scientists whip out their Geiger counters. He whips out the iPod, pretends to take readings. His colleagues stare at him, because they really know he's listening to music, humming like that, and they all read Slashdot. Also, it's the white headphones.

  19. Re:invest in a real computer on Computers, Long Hours and Vision Problems? · · Score: 1

    lose the laptop, buy a real computer

    I'll hold them back, run as fast as you can! This is /.

    Please gentlemen, what he meant was, VNC into your laptop, work from your desktop! He's from out of town! (/whispers, back away slowly from the pitchforks and the torches)

  20. Re:Duals bad? on Computers, Long Hours and Vision Problems? · · Score: 1

    a second about twice that distance

    Pretty bold of you to say that among dualheaded freaks (myself included), but are you saying the second monitor is ulp! farther? I just need some clarification (pun unintendo'ed). ALthough this would spoil my widescreen preference for viewing Kate in Underworld, my precious eyesight might need saving.

  21. Always the first question to greet you on Robot Receptionist with an Attitude · · Score: 2, Funny

    (Thanks to David Spade)

    'And you are...?'
     

  22. Re:Meeting Chicks on Do LUGs Still Matter? · · Score: 1

    Not just chicks. Chicks with hardware.

  23. Re:Firefly :: BSD? on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 1

    But of course, I could be wrong...

    That *IS* your .sig, right? Right? DAMMIT I needs to know!

  24. THe perfect combo? on What Do You Think of the COLEMAK Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Hey I got out of the cubie farms (not by choice) and I've got time. Let me get one of these bad boys http://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/en/hhkeyboard/hhkbpro/i mages/Pronl_sumi_top1_a.jpg and see if my typing goes to ludicrous speed...

    As long as it doesn't remap ASDF for my classic Quakin I'll be fine.

  25. Re:Seems like a wast of time to me on Microsoft Ends IE for Mac · · Score: 1

    It turned out that both of them were watching MSNBC at the time that MSNBC noticed that their viewership had doubled.
