  1. Re:pain bumps... on How To Build Roads To Control How Fast You Drive · · Score: 1

    Easy, just line the roads with hot naked chicks... and only hire straight female (or gay male) drivers for emergency vehicles.

    Heck, lining the road with naked dudes would make me drive faster (with my eyes closed). :-)

  2. Re:I've found a beautiful explanation for this on $1M Prize For Finding Cause of Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 1

    Cool.. you can just leave the check for his half in the coffin.

  3. It's funny you should say that... on New "Spear Phishing" Attacks Target IT Admins · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have one of those e-mails in my inbox right now... Supposedly from 1and1.com. It looks legitimate enough, but when hovering over the links with my mouse, I get some not very nice links... some of which go to Denmark.

  4. Magnabank on Comcast Shoots For New Image, Rebranding As Xfinity · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a branding for a local bank... Their commercials talk about how big banks don't give you personal service, and that they're not all that big. Then they get the nerve to call their bank "Magnabank".

    http://www.magnabank.com/

  5. Xfinity equals... on Comcast Shoots For New Image, Rebranding As Xfinity · · Score: 5, Funny

    Xfinity = the amount of time you'll be on hold if you call Customer Service.

  6. Kindle supports non-DRM'd books on It's 2010; What's the Best E-Reader? · · Score: 1

    I work for a publisher to create standards-compliant ePUB files. I use Calibre on my Mac (also available for the PC) to convert the ePUBs to a MOBI file. The MOBI file can then be copied straight to the Kindle. There's no DRM involved whatsoever...

  7. Al will surpass human intelligence when... on When Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    Ok, so Al may not ever surpass human intelligence, but he will be getting close to matching us when he finally gives up that Global Warming hoax of his... and the whole concept that he invented the Internet.

  8. Re:Do you have to use linux on Linux Foundation Announces 2010 "We're Linux" Video Contest · · Score: 1

    You have to use VIM. Sorry...

  9. Thank goodness... on New Most Precise Clock Based On Aluminum Ion · · Score: 1

    I can sleep better knowing that my atomic clock will only lose 1 second in 3.7 billion years instead of 2. My life has been forever changed.

  10. Re:That IS Cecil on Final Fantasy I and II Are Coming To the iPhone and iPod Touch · · Score: 1

    Oh... Well, he looked like Cecil to me too. I guess I didn't recognize them since I didn't play FF2j for more than 20 minutes (it was before there were ready translations.)

  11. That IS Cecil on Final Fantasy I and II Are Coming To the iPhone and iPod Touch · · Score: 1

    The dude at the top IS Cecil. It's him after becoming the Holy Knight. That is in fact Final Fantasy IV, which as you've already said was FF2 in the US.

  12. Ooooh... Intercontinental on Jetman Attempts Intercontinental Flight · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Calling 23 miles "intercontinental" seems disingenuous. I mean, I could drive down to Mexico and make an "intercontinental" jump of 1 foot... But labeling it as such is just stupid.

  13. Re:So... when? on Babies Begin Learning Language In the Womb · · Score: 1

    There's a huge difference between a fertilized egg not implanting on its own and taking a pill to ensure that it doesn't implant.

    Toddlers are hit by buses every so often in this country without intent of the driver to kill them, but that doesn't make it right when a driver decides to intentionally hit one.

  14. "Double click" functionality on Multi-Button OpenOfficeMouse At OOoCon 2009 · · Score: 1

    "has double-click functionality on every button"

    Oh yeah? Well, I can click MY mouse buttons three times fast, so there. My buddy has a mouse that allows him to click four times quickly.

  15. Re:WOLF! on Apple Not Disabling OS X Atom Support After All · · Score: 2, Informative

    The OP was saying that the original person saying it didn't work was crying wolf. How is that offtopic?

  16. Re:Just a reminder from Apple on Apple Not Disabling OS X Atom Support After All · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually, this was some blog poster that screwed up his Hackintosh and blamed it on Apple.

  17. New memory technology... on Scientists Build a Smarter Rat · · Score: 1

    New memory technology, we dub thee Mouse Inline Memory Module (MIMM).

  18. Re:Effective way to keep screens locked on Schneier On Un-Authentication · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course, the fun rose exponentially when two people had their machines unlocked. I would frequently carry on a whole phantom conversation.

    "Hey, let's go to lunch tomorrow"
    "I can't, I have to wax my hamster"
    "I didn't know you had a hamster"
    "..."

  19. Re:Effective way to keep screens locked on Schneier On Un-Authentication · · Score: 1

    I did that, but I usually IM'd the boss with something wacky... like "Man, I'm soooo drunk right now. :-)"

  20. Re:I agree on Microsoft Says Google Chrome Frame Makes IE Less Secure · · Score: 1

    I've personally run BSD... it's not that great as a browser, but at least it's secure. No mouse support though...

    Wait, you're not talking about the Blue Screen of Death???

  21. Lion Reproduction on Cursive Writing Is a Fading Skill — Does It Matter? · · Score: 1

    Especially if there's only one lion. To reproduce, you need TWO lions. Opposite sexes helps too...

  22. Darn you, Slashdot! :-) on Woman Fired For Using Uppercase In Email · · Score: 4, Informative

    See what you did? You made me RTFA just to see if it actually mentioned naps (it doesn't, btw.)

  23. Missed the typo on Astrophysicists Find "Impossible" Planet · · Score: 1

    Add a typo in the headline of the dupe story, and you've got it spot on...

  24. Re:kanji input on Apple To Ship Mac OS X Snow Leopard On August 28 · · Score: 1

    I agree... I mean, who wants 50% faster JavaScript performance in their web browser? And a faster OS? Pfft... Useless.

  25. Re:Not middle fingers on New Hitchhiker's Guide Book "Not Very Funny" · · Score: 1

    Oh... maybe you're from a part of the world that starts counting with your thumbs. We don't do that here...
