  1. How bout something relevant... on Dojo: Using the Dojo JavaScript Library · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'll be the first with something relevant here. We use the Dojo tooltips and toaster widgets at work. They come in handy. Easy to use and very customizable. The tooltips have a few flaws but nothing that you can't easily work around.

  2. Instant Off on Microsoft Considers "Instant On" Windows · · Score: 1

    How bout an instant off windows. I know I wish for one of these everytime I boot up Vista. I think instant on would just make the pain begin sooner.

  3. no more on Internet Use Can Be Good For the Brain · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Use brain make tired... no more searchy.

    Seriously though. Of course someone who is younger and has used the internet before is going to be more interested at sitting in front of a computer, therefore increased brain stimulation. Do the same thing with a old guy that likes to play chess and a young guy that only likes to play flash based dress up doll games and see if the opposite doesn't happen.

  4. Cheetah! on Getting Hired As an Entry-Level Programmer? · · Score: 0

    Here's what you do. You walk in there with a Cheetah right by your side. Sit down, don't mention or even look at the Cheetah. The interviewer will be to scared to ask. Let the Cheetah gnaw on the desk a little, maybe even the guy's shoes. Nobody questons a man with a Cheetah.

  5. Re:My SOP for Bank E-mails on US Financial Quagmire Bringing Out the Scammers · · Score: 0

    I bookmark my banks site. To bad I mispelled it the first time. www.comassbank.com got my paycheck for 2 1/2 years before I realized it.

  6. Find some friends on Firefox Add-On To Track Your Location Via Wi-Fi · · Score: 0

    Great, now adult friend finder can locate sexy singles in my apartment building. Why not just let the websites ask the user the information instead of more of those annoying toolbar pop ups. I think Mozilla is turning into Microsoft more and more with each release.

  7. Re:dirty tricks on Election Dirty Tricks About To Begin · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's just more of the same old tricks. The dead and house pets have been voting democrat for years.

  8. Re:Buzzed by my anus on Spacecraft Buzzes By Mercury · · Score: 5, Funny

    Typical slashdotters long dream of insertion, but are never actually ready.

  9. Re:This is fucking cool on Google, Circa 2001 · · Score: 1

    I'm against abortion also, but if you only made it legal in the case of rape, how many more rape cases do you think there would be. Every woman who had sex with an asshole would claim rape.

  10. Re:Obligatory on Hackers Clone Elvis' Passport · · Score: 5, Funny

    That would be the greatest rick roll ever. Have them scan your passport and it come back with Rick Astley's picture followed by you singing never gonna give you up at the top of your lungs. I'm beginning to see a whole reality show here.

  11. further studies on Toxic Fumes From Mac Pros? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Further studies show that the fumes also cause a false sense of self worth and belonging as well as an elitist attitude.

  12. Back door on "Back Door" Cheating Scandal Rocks Online Poker · · Score: 1

    I thought this was gonna have something to do with anal sex. I was "sorely" disappointed.

  13. Re:Remember cell phone minutes? on The Facts & Fiction of Bandwidth Caps · · Score: 1

    There are two problems with this when it comes to cable internet. 1) Lack of real competition. 2) It's a lot harder and more expensive to lay fiberoptic wire in the ground all over a city than it is to buy a couple of spots of land and put up a cell phone tower.

  14. Notch Johnson on Strong Methane Emissions On the Siberian Shelf · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember that episode of Notch Johnson, where Notch was a racecar driver and fueled his car with methane gas. It sounded like a fart goin around the track, and smelled like one too. Maybe we should get mythbusters to test that out. Could solve both problems.

  15. Come together right now on The 23 Toughest Math Questions · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Surely there are enough nerds on slashdot to figure these out. Or are we not as smart as we say we are?

  16. web based on Voting Machines Routinely Failing Nationwide · · Score: 0

    Why don't we just go with a web based voting system. Everyone could vote from home. Surely noone could figure out how to break that. Ooh, how about american idol style. And the candidate you vote for could send you a personalized message back asking for more donations.

  17. tinker toys on 30 Years of the Lego Minifig · · Score: 0

    Did anyone else ever think that tinker toys were the stupid kid's legos. And I always hated it when I asked for the newest set of legos and got a stinking set of the same old tinker toys. How many freaking log cabins can i build?

  18. I hope someone is monitoring this... on Rosetta Disk Designed For 2,000 Years Archive · · Score: 0

    because, I would make sure I made myself look really good. Maybe something like RemoWilliams84 had millions of followers that would bow down with a simple waive of his giant, throbbing... well you get the idea.

  19. Big Surprise on DNA Bar Coding Finds Mislabeled Sushi · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is anyone really surprised that a business is selling cheaper fish off as a more expensive one.

  20. Why the parachute? on NASA's Orion Mock-Up Fails Parachute Test · · Score: 1

    "A failure of set-up parachutes is actually one of the most common occurrences in this sort of test." Isn't it crazy for all the things to go wrong, it would be a parachute that is the most common.

  21. This causes problems for some on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 1

    I for one work for a governement contractor and we use IE. We are not allowed to do any updates or download anything until it is approved(usually months after it is released). Something like this could get very annoying for people who are restricted.

  22. Re:just like vista on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All I'm saying, is I don't them to tell me but one time. I'm stubborn and I'll do it when I want.

  23. just like vista on Firefox To Get a Nag Screen For Upgrades · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Great, now will have more little reminders and popups. Soon everything will be like Vista.

  24. Re:I can understand why... on Canadian Privacy Czar Wants To Anonymize Court Records On the Web · · Score: 0

    It was my last semester. I also forgot to mention that I, as well as the rest of us were told to leave or we would be arrested also. There is still a lawsuit on the way though.

  25. An easy fix on Diebold Admits Ohio Machines May Lose Votes · · Score: 0

    Why don't we all just gather in washington for the election and we'll all put our heads on our desks and someone will count hands raised as the candidates names are called out.
