  1. Make Opera appear broken?? on Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I went to MS's site and the webpage they sent was broken, I would think MS had an incompetent webmaster who didn't know HTML. I wouldn't think Opera was broken.

  2. Where are the pictures? on Blacker Than Black · · Score: 1

    Why don't they take a picture and put it online so we can see how black it is?

  3. Ride the rocket on Linux In Space: Red Hat Rides The Rocket · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Redhat rides NASAs Rocket"
    "Debian eats NASAs pineapple"
    "Mandrake tries to put the pin back in."

  4. Which of these words doesn't belong. on World's Most Annoying IE Toolbar · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lets play a game, which of these words doesn't belong in this list:

    Spyware
    Popups
    Adware
    Mozilla

  5. Well this explains why... on Don't Eat The White Snow Either · · Score: 1

    ..that slope I skied on last week was yellow.

  6. They can use MAS on Preserving the Sound of America · · Score: 1

    They can use MAS to serve the info. (It's a new open source project worth checking out. They just made their first release.)

  7. This sums it up for me. on Review: Illegal Art · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Four years ago, University of Iowa professor Kembrew McLeod trademarked the phrase "Freedom of Expression"--then hired a lawyer to sue for infringment.

    There's modern day society for you.

  8. -1 Sue me on Attorney Sues eBay over Negative Feedback · · Score: 1

    We'll have to add "-1 Sue Me." to the moderation scores on slashdot.

  9. Back to the 80's on Multimedia Windowpanes · · Score: 4, Funny

    'One minute you're looking out your bay window at your neighbor's back yard, and the next you're watching Tom Cruise and 'Top Gun'

    Wow, so they invented a back to the 80's time machine!

  10. Techies will love Tom Clancy on Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors? · · Score: 1

    Check out some Tom Clancy novels. He goes into such immense technical detail, far beyond any other author I have read. I originally thought his novels would be patriotic stories of people defending their nation, blah blah blah.. Instead they are just very practical very interesting novels on how intelligence agancies work and the tech they use.

    The technical accuracy was so good in one of his novels that the CIA actually contacted him about it asking how he got his hands on classified information.

  11. Why build a container? on Putting A Lid On Chernobyl · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I thought Russia was using it's citizens to soak up the leaking radiation?

  12. Source citation on Indian Government Moves to Let Linux In · · Score: 2

    India sure seems to be a highly contested arena lately.

    Does anyone else find it funny that Slashdot, a site with <sarcasm> model journalistic integrity</sarcasm> I might add, always sites itself?

  13. Unidentified? on Starcraft · · Score: 2

    Unidentified Flying Objects: Starcraft

    Unidentified? Is this guy on crack? Just click on the Stargate and it says exactly what kind of Protoss units you can create.

  14. Re:Err, Maybe It Should Be Terminator 2.5 on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 2

    ...evil terminator is a buxom blonde, with big breasts...

    Where else are you going to hide human terminating bombs?

  15. So is this like.. on Fast CD-R Drives Make For Twice the Piracy · · Score: 2

    So if you fired the President of the RIAA, would that be like firing a 1000 stupid employees?

  16. Cloning stem cells.. on Stanford Jumps Into Cloning Fray · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The intent of the project is to produce stem cells for medical research.

    And why isn't everyone doing this? Oh right, it's against the presidents religious beliefs. Is it really suprising that people would rather pursue research that might aid in a cure for cancer, rather than follow a law set by Bush that stem cell research is against his religious beliefs?

  17. Re: New Mad Max Film on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dark Helmet:
    How can there be a cassette of Spaceballs: The Movie? We're still in the middle of making it!
    Col. Sandurz:
    That's true, sir. But, there's been a new breakthrough in home video marketing.
    Dark Helmet:
    There has?
    Col. Sandurz:
    Yes. Instant cassettes. They're out in stores before the movie is finished.

  18. It's a Good Thing on Will Smith as I, Robot · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When a movie comes out based on a book, it stirs people to read the book. If the movie never came out, then those people would never read it.

  19. This doesn't change a thing! on Conspiracy Theorists, Meet The Moon · · Score: 2

    This just shows that the government just flew up to the moon and planted fake space craft there!

  20. I used to use mine. .. on Do People Really Use Their PDAs? · · Score: 2

    Then I bought a paper address book. It doesn't require batteries, upgrades, software and doesn't crash or lock up. I decided to switch to paper and pencil when I tried to synch my palm pilot after the battery died. The software on the system thought it needed to base itself on what the empty palm pilot had, which was nothing. So, both my computer and my palm pilot lost everything.

    Now my palm pilot is a glorified grocery list. I can check off stuff as I buy it, then next week I can uncheck the stuff I need to buy again.

  21. Trusted computing. on Another Critical Microsoft Hole · · Score: 2, Funny

    As this control is Microsoft signed...

    Trusted computing, digital signing... I guess it all boils down to "You can trust Microsoft that this signed control will screw over your computer."

  22. Shoppings carts with computers.. on High Tech Shopping Carts Offer Discounts, Ads · · Score: 5, Funny

    This gives the side benefit of getting homeless people online.

  23. Easy solution.. on Stopping Killer Asteroids · · Score: 2

    Just fly up a ship and install a wireless connection and webserver on the asteroid. Then post a link on /. about a Linux server running Apache on a remote killer asteroid. I mean, what hasn't a good slashdotting managed to stop so far?

  24. For that price.. on Segway HT Starts Selling · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...I could buy a top of the line custom built titanium bike and have money to spare. The bike would be smaller, lighter, cheaper, easier to maintain, not run out of power, go faster, access more places and give people exercise. Ooops! I said the nasty E word, exercise!

    Seriously, it's amazing how much money can be made off of human laziness. People are willing to pay 5000$, along with the effort of maintaining these things, to not have to move their legs

  25. Re:List Of Games Available Now on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon

    Awesome! Now I can buy an Xbox, then buy Ghost Recon, then pay monthly for Microsofts online service which is the only place I can play it with other people!

    Oh wait, I forgot. I already paid ONCE for this game which I can use on my computer with much faster hardware to play online with other people for FREE as much as I want.
