  1. Re:Apparently.. on Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence in Theaters · · Score: 1

    And that's the Yahoo search engine!

    But considering that it's showing HERE IN A NEW MALL IN MIAMI which is predominantly Hispanic I would consider it "reasonably wide". Gotta love those booming drums inthe soundtrack! Might watch it in a chemically-altered state next time!

  2. Re:Uhh... on HAL 9000 on the Auction Block · · Score: 1

    THe lens is only 2.98

    The actor that did the actual voice over for HAL will live in your house for as long as you keep the lens. Living expenses are then paid up front to the tune of 149997.02.

    The next item up for sale is the actual door that William Shatner swung open in Airplane 2! after uttering the immortal, "Why wasn't I informed of these things?"

    Well, you *did* want more information.

    Think of the added benefit: you will have officially arrived at the 21st century. Oh, wait...

  3. Re:Getting your hopes up. on Doom 3 Demo Available · · Score: 1

    Sure, as soon as monsters appear and the action starts the fps will drop down

    That's not a bug. We call it the, er, bullet time effect. Yeah, that's it.

  4. Now maybe we'll get decent copy-n-paste on Microsoft To Share Office Source Code · · Score: 1

    Hey didn't they use zlib, vulnerabilities and all?

  5. Put on your tinfoil hats! on Obsessively Detailed Map Of Springfield · · Score: 1

    The real reason they cannot disclose the actual state that Springfield is in:

    They don't want the paparazzi to find out the actual location of Kim (Basinger)'s and Alec (Baldwin)'s summer retreat.

  6. Re:repeat on Obsessively Detailed Map Of Springfield · · Score: 3, Funny

    Trying to initiate a mini-slashdot effect, eh,Troublemaker? That sound you hear is the sound of n00bies clicking their way to the accounts/preferences page...

  7. More jokes (groan...) on 378 Terabytes Of Star Wars on 600 G5s · · Score: 1

    ...Dante shoots first

    ...No wonder Greedo shoots first, it was digitized on a G5!

  8. Where's Cisco? Not having them would be like... on Intel Predicts Death Of WWW · · Score: 1

    ...a Led Zeppelin reunion without John Paul Jones.

    Oh, wait...

  9. Suddenly the room goes quiet for ONE question on Both Tea And No Tea - Updated Hitchhiker's Game · · Score: 1

    illustrated by Rod Lord, who won a BAFTA for his graphics for the original Hitchhiker TV series

    It was animated?

    Thanks, I'll be here all week.

  10. You don't HAVE to watch it on Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel · · Score: 1

    ...to me, we're the kids around the campfire. If Kevin has a story to tell, I'd like to listen to it. I even found out what happened in the funeral to have them folks chasing Dante & Randall outta there. Now THAT was pretty satisfying.

  11. Re:For a moment... on 96 Processors Under Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    Your last line could have been pulled straight outta Dilbert...

  12. What the Orion employees do with them, SERIOUSLY on 96 Processors Under Your Desktop · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd like to see what the employees do with them after hours...

    "Gotta work late today, honey. Oh, sorry, is this the Pizza place? Could you please hold one sec?"

    "Gotta work late again today, honey..."

  13. Should be able to tell when somebody's FAKING it on New iMac Pictures Leaked? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...oh wait, this is /.

  14. Anybody have the HL2 trailer? on Half-Life 2 Going Gold on Monday? [updated] · · Score: 1

    I guess my HW specs are only good enough for trailers. Wait let me rephrase that. My PC is only good enough for LAN gaming, with all the eye candy set to low, and with 'monochrome' set to 'Y'.

    Does anyone have the old trailer anywhere? (The one that was previewed in one a them Expos or E3 or QuakeCon or whatever).

  15. Anybody got the HL2 trailer? on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    Sorry but I missed E3 or whatever Expo that was that featured HL2. Does anybody have that preview?

  16. E will need KiKaZ themes! Calling all skinners! on Enlightenment Lives · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The last theme I installed on E16.4 was 23 oz of glass, it's like having a Mac face on a Linux box. Have ripples running on a 4x1 desktop on a lo-spec Thinkpad, with enough resources left to loop my favorite trailers to the tune of techno.

    Pixelmoose if you're listening, don't forget to a)port your theme to E16.7.1 b) make a 23oz of glass xmms skin...

  17. Re:New FS on The Linux Filesystem Challenge · · Score: 1

    I think it was even used on the Mars Rovers.

    Am I the only one that thought, he could have just said, it's so good, it's been used on other planets?

  18. At least they haven't replaced humans on History of the Automatic Teller · · Score: 1

    (now choose from 2 alternate endings)
    1-...at least, not in these parts...

    2-...to do the more complicated steps, like INSERT CARD and ENTER PIN (it seems incredible to me that they can't enter a four digit number, much less *gasp* REMEMBER it!) They still need US to do it for them!

    Wotsa matter. too *Heinlein* for you?

  19. You make it sound on Oxford Students Hack University Network · · Score: 1

    that getting rusticated at Oxford is a bad thing.

  20. How Linux Developers Should Respond To This on NZX Moves To Oracle On Linux · · Score: 1

    1) Leave hands in pockets.

    2) Look humbly down at your feet.

    3) Optionally, you may start moving one foot forward and back repeatedly, while putting weight on other foot.

    4) Repeat after me: "Aw, shucks, it was nuthin..."
    or "LINUX, awww, c'mon. There's Oracle, too, give them some credit..."

  21. Re:Improving Star Trek, the idiot's guide: on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 1

    And bring back the lone captain's chair, in front of the big screen TV, yeoman-bringing-drinks and/or clipboard, ask-a-question-get-an-answer type of Captain that we are used to from TOS.
    None of this couch-and-decision-by-committee PC stuff from TNG.

  22. Cant believe Slashdotters are skipping THIS on Build Your Own FreeBSD-powered Motorcycle · · Score: 2, Funny

    just because it's BSD.

    You know what this means? That our motorcyclist has to drive cross country, fighting crime and solving mysteries with the aid of his deck. And for continuing adventures for one season, he has to pursue the M$ Bus of Mi$information, going by tips from strangers about bus sightings. Can anyone here say, Hassellhoff?

  23. Y'all left out psDOOM on Doom 3's Release Date; Quake Turns 8 · · Score: 1

    Young whippersnappers like to list all a them games by idsoftware, they keep forgettin about good ole psDOOM...

    oh, wait...

  24. Re:Don't ask job related stuff on Interviewing Your Future Boss? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...you know the drill. Start with:

    You look down and you see a tortoise crawling towards you...

  25. Am I the only one that remembers... on Star Trek: New Voyages, Downloadable Video · · Score: 1

    ...a book with a similar title, consisting of stories written for TOS by the fans themselves, especially selected for the compilation because they were consistent with the ST universe?

    Regardless, I WOULD LOVE seeing an episode similar to one of the written stories where the cast appears in the ST universe while the real Kirk, SPock, and Bones wind up on the 20th century studio set... ;-)
