  1. Re:Out of touch much? on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    Seinfeld the TV series isn't new (he was know before that), but Seinfeld the actor/comedian is still very active in stand-up and movies (to name some). So that is hardly a dated choice for Microsoft.

  2. A wee bit late. on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    I think it is a bit late for Microsoft to try and turn Vista into a joke.

  3. Hobbits? on Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies · · Score: 1

    What's next, he isn't allowed to talk about Lord of the rings?

  4. Discovery channel on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 5, Funny

    As seen on today's TV schedule for Discovery

    Now showing: Intel, when code attacks.
    Next show: Lasers.
    Next week: Shark week.

  5. Re:4 platters on Seagate Announces First 1.5TB Desktop Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    OMG that script just queued 1.5TB worth of p0rn for download in my browser.

    Thanks. ;)

  6. Re:Down already? on Simple Mod Turns Diodes Into Photon Counters · · Score: 1

    Oh, I thought /. supported RFC 1149.

  7. Nuke it on What Is the Best Way To Disinfect Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

  8. American law on YouTube Must Give All User Histories To Viacom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A fair bit of people seem to worry that the data will be used for other purposes that the case where it is requested. It is my understanding that the material is confinded to that case only as it can't be sold or used by Viacom for its own buisness. Or does that work differently in USA law?

  9. My gift on Gates' Last Day At Microsoft · · Score: 1

    What would you buy him as a retirement gift?

    I don't know him, but I think he could see the humour in this. I would give him a plush penguin holding a card with the words "Free, is when you break away from Microsoft". :p

  10. Only 2001-2002? on Sun Spokesman Says "We Screwed Up On Open Source" · · Score: 2, Informative

    Reading this story seem to indicate that 2003 and forward should have been part of the "screw up" period.

    It is good to see Sun throw their weight in to support open source.

  11. Re:Garage nuke ? You probably mean GNUke ! on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    A friendly tip, if you are going to do a "make test" and is present at the location of the GNUke, do yourself a favour and comment out "nuclearfuel.h" or you are in for a nasty surprise.

  12. Oh, the irony on EBay Pressured To Block Sales of Ivory Products · · Score: 1

    A black market for a white item? Oh, the ivory. :p

  13. Re:Back on subject... on Have Mathematics Exams Become Easier? · · Score: 1

    Haha, stupid math students, 7 isn't a number, it is a letter. I guess they are not 733t enough.

  14. Re:polygraph testing? on The Effects of Censorship — a Tale of Two Websites · · Score: 1

    "yeah, that post is a lie" Why would polygraph aficionados post about cake?
  15. Chinese Illuminati? on China's All-Seeing Eye · · Score: 1

    Unlike the Illuminati the Chinese eye isn't placed on a pyramid but on The great wall of China.

  16. What the hay? on Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices · · Score: 1

    Be fair now, the overweight people are actual doing the underweight people a service. Overweight people are removing mass from the Earth, and hence the gravital pull becomes less. That of course means that everything becomes lighter (less energy needed to move stuff about!), and when the underweight people fall down they don't shatter into tiny pieces. Global warming is just an added benefit to save on fuel to heat stuff during winter. You should thank these heroic overweight people for their hard work.

  17. Re:Silly Lawyers... on Mormon Church Goes After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Church : "We don't want you to read this"
    Wikileaks : "Hey everybody, they don't want us to read this"
    Geeks : "Gotta get a copy of that" You just got Reli rolled.
  18. Re:Designate Windows OS as Terrorist Tool on New Botnet Dwarfs Storm · · Score: 1

    And _I_ consider the existence of antivirus tools to imply an OS that just sucks. Nice way to hide giving The Finger. :p
  19. Out of context on Windows 7 in the Next Year? · · Score: 1
    Not so fast, take a look at the quote and how the journalist construct a rumour.

    "Sometime in the next year or so we will have a new version" This could be about anything, without more context this is rather meaningless (not to mention that "or so" is rather diffuse). To which the article adds

    referring to Windows 7 If that is so, why not show the full quote? Add to that the first part of the article

    Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates on Friday indicated that Windows 7, the next major version of Windows, could come within the next year, far ahead of the development schedule previously indicated by the software maker. So nothing really clear, just what the journalist thinks? And to make it worse (where did this person study?)

    Unclear is whether Gates was referring to early testing of Windows 7 coming within the year, as opposed to a widespread release or debut. Seems like fishy "journalism" to me.

    Bah, I bet it is just a (galaxy) fed pretending to be young. :p

  21. Re:Hogwash... on Study Shows Males Commonly Mistake Sexual Intent · · Score: 1

    We don't just need clear signals, be need explicitly stated intentions. Say "I want sex". Then we understand you. Have you gone mad?! This is Slashdot, we _need_ a technical solution, say, like a chip embedded in our body with all the personal data needed to succefully determining what others around us are trying to get across. Further more, let's base it on RFID, that way we can get our revenge on people we don't like by changing the data, now that "poor" sports jock will get some really personal and wierd proposals from other males. Muahahaha *evil pinky*
  22. Re:Hogwash... on Study Shows Males Commonly Mistake Sexual Intent · · Score: 1

    The are women on the internet! There are women on Slashdot! They just use manly nicknames, so we won't try to flirt with them all the time.

    ~amanda99: I'm really pissed with Microsoft pushing OOXML standarization!
    ~The-Man: Oh, you're so pretty when you're angry. And some females are males pretending to be females, you just have to spot the signs. :p
