  1. Very short episode... on Eddie Izzard As ... Doctor Who? · · Score: 1

    That will be one short new episode...

    The tardis materializes, except it's a fridge now instead of a phonebooth...
    Eddie gets out in full drag saying 'Hello sailors! Where are the fishburgers, i have some jam for them!'

    Thousands of angry Doctor Who fans enter the stage, ripping Eddie to shreds, Michael Grade(*) in the shadows, laughing maniacally

    The end.


    (*) Michael Grade is the BBC1 controller that cancelled Doctor Who at its peak, maybe a bit too obscure a reference.

  2. Re:Possible Home Numbers for ATA board members on Oops, Dave Barry Does It Again · · Score: 1

    Directors
    Stuart Discount


    Man... this guy has to be a riot at parties...

    "My wife asked for a discount and i gave her one! Up in the bedroom! Ha Ha Ha!"

    This guy deserves to be called by about 10.000 slashdotters asking about discounts...

  3. Re:Music is Music on What Counts as Music and Why? · · Score: 1

    Making a software program and converting it into an audio file is idiotic.

    I think you just hurt Richard D. James' feelings...

  4. Re:Yes! on yellowTab Announces Complete BeOS/Zeta Systems · · Score: 1

    Nothing looks cooler than firing up BeOS on a laptop.

    You need to get out more dude, seriously.

    "Come look, son, an aurora borealis with flying spacemonkeys!"

    "Not now, mom, i'm firing up BeOS on a laptop!"

  5. Re:That might not work on IBM Adds SCO Counterclaim Charging Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Darl, I'll let you sleep on the couch in my basement. Note though that my cat is very fussy, you'll have to completely bury your turds in the litterbox or she'll get mad. Thanks, buddy!

    Darl's such a turd, your cat will try to bury HIM.


    So he's a soviet russian cat, then?

  6. Quicktime Alternative. on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It plays just fine with the "Quicktime Alternative" codec for windows. Google for it.

    PS There's also a "Real Alternative" codec, lets you get rid of Realplayer too.

  7. Slavery. on File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hope the teachers will make it clear that, while slavery was abolished many many years ago, the recordcompanies basically still treat their 'artists' that way...

    And ofcourse they'll explain how, with record sales going platinum, you'll *owe* the record company money (see TLC, they declared bankruptcy).

    And hey, while we're at it, try explaining the 'record breakage fee' of 10% (if i remember correctly) which is still in place, while records haven't been easily breakable since they went to vinyl (ok, you'll probably have to explain what vinyl is too.).

    I could go on for a while, but i'm sure you get the picture.

  8. Re:GPS? on Geek Eye for the Average Guy · · Score: 1

    Husband: "Kids are at 33 56' 52" N, 118 8' 5" W, dear!"

    What are they doing at Paramount Blvd. and 6th?

    Are you sure they didn't just strap their GPS to a dog and let it loose or something?

  9. Re:MS Security bulletin? What about... on New Microsoft Worm Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    Using the search function is hard, isn't it?

    Sendmail Vulnerability and SSH Exploit

    And to think you actually got modded up...

  10. Re:P2P on Slashback: Blaster, Sabers, Canada · · Score: 2, Funny

    So provided I never permit upload of the whole file to a single downloader, would I be in the clear?

    Didn't seem to have worked for napster...

    "99% and you disconnect me?! No! You fucker! Die! Die! Die! Nooooooooooo!"

  11. Re:Skype on AT&T Migrating Phone Network to IP · · Score: 2, Funny

    CNET has posted a Sept 11 newsmakers interview with Kazaa's Janus Friis promoting his P2P telephony app, Skype

    Hmm, i wonder if we can expect spyware/gator crap with that...

    "Hi, mom, i'm ready to move, i'll just have to call *[WHEN-U]* to ask them when they'll be here"

    "But i thought you were going to use U-HAUL?"

    "That's what' i said, *[WHEN-U]*!"

    "aaaaaaarghhh!!!"

  12. Re:Dialup Users on AT&T Migrating Phone Network to IP · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I wonder what this will do to dialup users. TCP/IP over PPP over VOIP.

    It means they'll probably be lucky if they can get a CONNECT 9600.

    Our national telephone service already pulled this crap over 15 years ago. When you complained about the low connect rate, they'd either say "speeds are not guaranteed over 2400" or "oh, sorry, we didn't know you were going to use this for a modem line" and they'd give you a dedicated line (what you paid for in the first place!).

  13. Re:Anyone have CDs from the 80's? on CDs, DVDs Eyed For Long-Term Archival Use · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's almost 20 years ago since the first CD's came along.

    Are they still working?


    I have several CD's from 1985/86 that are still perfectly readable, even in secure mode with EAC (Exact Audio Copy).

    I know this because i ripped my entire CD collection (about 2000 of them) last year and very few had errors, only 1 CD was unreadable.

  14. When... on Hubble Telescope Shows Giant View of Saturn · · Score: -1, Troll

    Let me be the first to say....

    "When will hubble show a giant view of Uranus?"

    Thank you. I will not be posting the obvious url with that.

  15. Penny Arcade on Give The NGage And Phantom A Chance? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Penny Arcade had something to say about people who Astroturf the ngage...

    As for the Phantom...

  16. Re:Net packet loss on SCO DOS Harming Innocent Bystanders · · Score: 3, Funny

    Checking on Xaffire Inc.'s Internet Average it's obvious that there are a few problems.

    Slashdotting a site about internet statistics via a link on a thread about DDoS...

    Now, *that's* Irony for ya, Alanis! (I hope you get it now)

  17. Scapegoat. on Everquest Connection Alleged In Child Death · · Score: 1

    So, today's scapegoat is game addiction?
    Back in the day it was rock'n'roll music.
    Then it was heavy metal.

    Personally, i blame today's manufactured pop-acts.

    Is it a coincidence that "Stab Risen Prey" is an anagram of "Britney Spears"?

    Here's some more:

    "baby rock testes" (Backstreet Boys)
    "casual iran tiger hi" (Christina Aguilera)
    "a dry one mom" (Mandy Moore)
    "a builtin jerk stem" (Justin Timberlake)

    For more anagram fun, apt-get install wordplay
    (unless you're not using debian, in which case - HA HAH!)

  18. Obligatory Beowulf/Soviet Russia comment. on Satellite Clusters Go Into Space · · Score: -1, Funny

    In soviet russia a beowulf cluster of satellites gets launched by you?

  19. Re:Fixed hosts don't work, but... on P2P Spam? · · Score: 1

    If there's a budget and money, then there's organization, and I'm concerned about the organizations that might see 9/11 as a good day to launch a distributed attack.

    They'd probably be hunted down and skinned alive by the trekkies who wouldn't be able to download the first new season 3 ST:Enterprise episode... (it's aired 9/10)

  20. Re:Concerts/Music on Perfect Pitch for Those Without It · · Score: 1

    when was the last time you saw an MTV video where the lead singer was ....what's the word.. UGLY ?

    Well, lil kim looks like a transvestite midget who's had a boobjob done by dr kevorkian, does that count?

    And well, you don't see 'proper' ugly people like Iggy Pop much anymore, except maybe stashed away on one of those 'alternative' hours, somewhere very late at night...

  21. Re:Brand and manufacturer? on Say Goodbye To Your CD-Rs In Two Years? · · Score: 1

    Too bad they didn't give a list of brands and manufacturers; that would've been good to know.

    It was on several national newssources here, apparently they say the brand "Mmore" was the worst, followed by cdr's from "Kruidvat" (a chain of drugstores).

    I find this a bit odd, since i have "Mmore" cdr's from about 4 years back and they're still perfectly readable (except for the one i accidently stepped on).

    The "Mmore" cdr's i have here are made by CMC Magnetics Corp. and have Cyanine Type 1 dye.

    Personally, i've had bad experienced with Arita cdr's from about 4 years ago, i had difficulty burning and reading them. Also, "That's Write!" (more like "That's Wrong!") from 3 years ago became unreable in any cdrom just 3 months(!!!) after i burned them.

    I used a plexwriter 4/2/20 till from 1999-2002 and am using a plexwriter 40/12/40a now.

    Next week on "When penguins attack!"...

  24. Re:Win XP SP2 = Longhorn? on Windows XP SP2 Delayed Until Late 2004 · · Score: 1

    The story is basically saying that SP2 will incorporate things that MS "innovated" in the last year. Firewalls, anti-virus, etc, all stuff thats also supposed to be in Longhorn. Silly.

    Didn't microsoft promise (under force) to only put fixes in servicepacks and not add new 'features'?

  25. Re:Booo-hooo on Spammer Ducks For Cover · · Score: 2, Funny

    Much like families where domestic violence is a tradition, we can be certain we have not seen the last of this from this family.

    I bet his kids are trying to sell herbal viagra to the other kids in the schoolyard as we speak...
