  1. W.I.N.E. on Wine Tasting Via Computer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wine Is Not an Emultar .. oh, wait a sec...

  2. Re:I call shenanigans. on NSA Caught With The Cookies · · Score: 1

    What about a laptop user visiting the site repeatedly from an Afghanistan ISP, then suddenly one day the same laptop (same cookie) starts visiting from a Washington area ISP .. far fetchned, but might be interesting to know under some circumstances.

  3. Re:Why not flying cars, then? on Stanley and the Conquest of the DARPA Challenge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    More accidents happen on the ground than in the air.

  4. Re:Article Text on Google Counters AOL Deal Speculation · · Score: 1

    Flamebait? hmm. I thought it was a valid comment, as it has happened in the past. Check out this link.

  5. Re:The PR gal is a hottie on Opera Purchase Rumour Control · · Score: 1

    At least she didn't say "What's Slashdot?" :-)

  6. Re:Article Text on Google Counters AOL Deal Speculation · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If I'm not gunna read TFA, why would I read your cut-and-paste job that may or may not be edited?

  7. Re:Criminal Tresspass on Sony DRM Installed Even When EULA Declined · · Score: 1

    A better analogy would be that they install cameras in the bathrooms when you're not looking..

  8. 30 states? on U.S. Ecommerce To Be Broadly Taxed? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Last time I checked there were a lot more than 30 states .. I'm not even American, and I know that.

  9. Re:The trick on Microsoft Set To Be Fined $2.4M a Day · · Score: 2, Funny
    Microsoft stays in the game and EU bureacrats get new Paris offices.

    And the people of France can download pirated versions of Windows via P2P!

  10. Re:Fake license plates... on Britain to log all vehicle movement · · Score: 5, Funny
    It would detect duplicates easily.

    If only this technology could be applied to Slashdot!

  11. Re:Don't click the links. on Evolving Phishing Attacks Using Web Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 1

    Obviously not, but I trust Google's page rank algorithm to rank the real site higher than any fake sites, at least I trust it more than my spelling. Speaking of spelling, Google corrects that too. :-)

  12. Re:Don't click the links. on Evolving Phishing Attacks Using Web Vulnerabilities? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't even do that, if I don't have a bookmark saved, I Google for the company name and click on a link from there, rather than risk making a typing mistake that could take me to a fake site. At least when I'm going to be doing financial transactions, like on paypal or my bank or something.

  13. Re:Respect on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1

    Those girls probably thought they were signing up to be CSI's.

  14. Re:Unplesant environment on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1

    Women are too smart to want to go into IT.

  15. Freedom to inovate? on MSIE To Adopt Firefox Feed Icon · · Score: 1

    Another great innovation from Microsoft.

  16. Re:I think I've worked it out on MSIE To Adopt Firefox Feed Icon · · Score: 1

    People love spotting dupes, it's a fun game that generates traffic. It's a Win-win.

  17. Re:No dummy, its for LOVED ONES only! on Microsoft Tries To Charm EU With Future Visions · · Score: 1

    And as far as governments are concerned, all it's subjects (err, citizens) are loved ones!

  18. Weird graphics on Review: Dragon Quest VIII · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I haven't played games in years, but I looked at the screen shots out of curiousity. The grass looks blurry to me, like it's got major motion blur. Is this normal for these new fangled 3d games? Maybe it's just me but it looks really strange.

  19. Re:The Bloat Divides? on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 0

    Are you saying it's not now?

  20. Re:powertabs.net on Google Launches Google Music · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Yesterday powertabs.net disabled downloading of user transcribed guitar tablatures of songs in response to statments made yesterday by the MPA threatening legal action against sheet music, tablature, and lyric websites.

    That's the first thing that jumped to my mind. I wonder if Google will be the next target, or are they partnering with the RIAA in this? I guess you could argue that Google is stimulating sales of legitimate media by directing people to iTunes, etc.

  21. Google search on Google Launches Google Music · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Google search: 'scuse me while I kiss this guy

    Did you mean: 'scuse me while I kiss the sky

    Cool!

  22. Re:95% of all problems.... on Top 10 System Administrator Truths · · Score: 1

    I would too, but I'm still trying to build a lense out of a Pringles can.

  23. Re:2nd place goes to movie TORQUE on TiVo Causes Increase in Product Placement · · Score: 1

    That movie Castaway with Tom Hanks was basically a 2 hour commercial for FedEx too. It really is sickening.

  24. Re:Whatever next? on Macro Lens from a Pringles Can · · Score: 1

    Only if all your chips happen to be of identical size and shape.

  25. Re:Slashdotted on Macro Lens from a Pringles Can · · Score: 1

    A mirror? You mean to reflect the sun through the macro lense to toast the ant in the molasses?
