    Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope: The Super-Hyper Fighting Edition: Directors Cut: XTREME Really Wide Screen High Definition Rerelease ULTRA-EX2

    I've heard Greedo shoots at a sensitive, non-violent Han, misses, then chokes to death on a jalapeno popper. Han never has to dirty his hands on a dirty, dirty gun.

  2. Beancounter PacMan? on Human Pac Man · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds like something the BOFH would do to the accounting deptartment, involving power outages and 3-phase wiring stripped of its insulation.

    -1, Redundant

  4. Re:Pretty boring on Project Plex-Box · · Score: 1
    It takes talent to turn a $179 computer into a $600 computer.

    Not really. After you pay for the Windows license...

    (heh also note the way the submitter just copied the webpage text and changed a few personal pronouns. i am in awe of such laziness.)

    Well, at least he removed the broken entities Word stuck in there, since the page owner was too lazy to actually write his page in valid HTML.

  6. One question on Latest Maps of the Internet · · Score: 1

    How big of a piece of fairy cake was required to map out this Total Internet Vortex?

  7. Re:Note to moderators on Ways to Beat the Telecommuting Blues? · · Score: 0

    Give the guy a break. Perhaps some nice webart would help take his mind off the issue?

  8. Re:Note to moderators on Ways to Beat the Telecommuting Blues? · · Score: 1

    and I'd like to remind them, that as a known Slashdot cliche spouter, I would be useful in rounding up others to whine in their underground snooty caves.

  9. Re:./ effect on Netcraft Web Server Stats Challenged · · Score: 1
    As of 23:41 MTN Standardtime Nov 26th, 2003.. their box is completely down.

    Just the daily Windows reboot. It's what Windows admins have to deal with.

  10. Re:They trust the Server: header? on Netcraft Web Server Stats Challenged · · Score: 1
    its just smart admining.

    Of course, the argument against this statement: *These "smart" admins are running IIS.*

  11. Re:Exploding kernel on OSDL Answers SCO With Kernel Awareness Campaign · · Score: 1
    Erlenmeyer flask. It's a metaphor for the churning, volatile, active state of the development kernels.

    It doesn't stand for "brewing your own"? Is that why I flunked Chem in college?

  12. Ohhhh, HI*L*BERT on Swedish Student Partly Solves 16th Hilbert Problem · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And here I was wondering if you got walloped with a surgical two-by-four if you turned in a wrong answer.

  13. Re:Watch out Bill on New Remote Root in Mac OS X · · Score: 1
    Apple are about to catch up on Microsoft!

    Yeah, right. Apple is only up to 'X', and MS is up to 'XP'.

    In the Windows world, we call this malicious environment "Internet Explorer".

    Actually, it's just called "explorer". Go ahead and check, I bet you've got this malware running on your Windows PC right now.

    They were actually developed on white paper.

    Let this be a lesson to us all. Be sure to develop your filesystems on black paper.

  17. Re:This isn't unexpected on Linux 2.6.0 Expected In Mid-December · · Score: 3, Funny
    Oh, yeah, that was a leap alright! New splash screen and a different colour scheme. Whoop-de-do.

    Come on, give a little bit of credit. Starting with XP, you can open .ZIP files without findng, downloading and installing a archiving software application. What other operating system can read compressed file archives right after install?

  18. Re:Well *thanks* for the spoiler on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 1
    next Slashdot will be telling us Gollum doesn't get the girl.

  24. Re:Zetta != Zeta on What's Coming in Solaris 10 · · Score: 1
    That's "Zettabyte", guys, not "Zetabyte",
