  1. Why Linux? on IBM's Blue Gene powered by Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    Noone wants Blue Screens on their Blue Genes!

  2. Re:Let me start it... on Microsoft Launches Portable Music Player · · Score: 1
    3. Blue screen of death in audio form?

    Ahem

  3. Re:Say what you want about Microsoft... on Microsoft Launches Portable Music Player · · Score: 1

    But the drivers REALLY suck. Don't you just love watching the cursor move rapidly across the screen in random patterns after installing that new optical MS mouse? It makes FPSes extra challenging!

  4. Soooo...... on Microsoft Launches Portable Music Player · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is manufacturing Windows Media Devices?

  5. Re:So... on Microsoft Launches Portable Music Player · · Score: 1

    No, but we'll be treated to the statement a person who provides informal tech support for the Portable Media Center on Usenet, accompanied by a write up of her efforts to learn how to use Outlook 2003 complete with screenshots taken from the Visual Studio tutorials, that her friends have just about convinced her to give the Portable Media Center a go.

    No shit. I received $50 last year, which BTW, was the first year where employees who DIDN'T attend the Christmas party got the bonus.

    Turns out the Universe just had a hummer.

  11. Re:Follow the money. on Microsoft Audits UK Council To Prove Cost Effectiveness · · Score: 1

    Smaller than a regular assload, since it has to share space with the British Standard Rod.

  12. Re:Getting the coackroaches back on Cockroaches Daubed With Yeast As WMD Sensors? · · Score: 1
    Of course then you have to worry about the 40-foot cockroach . . .

    Maybe you know something I don't, but I'd consider it rather conspicuous trying sneak a 40-foot cockroach into someplace to check for Windows Media Devices.

  13. Re:Need a name for this critter on Cockroaches Daubed With Yeast As WMD Sensors? · · Score: 1
    I suggest cockroach + robot = "cockrobot" :)

  18. Re:I see a pattern emerging here... on SCO Madness Reigns Supreme · · Score: 1

    You left out:

    "IBM, we sue you for reporting our resume as spam."

    Or am I getting mixed up here?

  19. Re:Old and busted, but still applicable. on SCO Madness Reigns Supreme · · Score: 1

    Episode 214: Chef Aid

    Chef winds up in court with a record company.

  20. Re:When You think Microsoft is Evil on W3C Requests Eolas Patent Re-Examination · · Score: 1
    When you think Microsoft is evil and there is nobody lower...

    Just visit Slashdot and look for stories about SCO, Rambus, the **AA or DMA.

  21. Kudos to Paramount on Librarian of Congress Posts DMCA Exemptions · · Score: 1
    skipping commercials on DVDs

    I bought the Indiana Jones box set last week. Got home, popped in Raiders, and the first thing that shows up is the menu, with PLAY right there, ready to go. No legal threats, no unskippable commercials, just the available options on the disc.

    Thank you, Paramount!

  22. Re:What are dongles on Librarian of Congress Posts DMCA Exemptions · · Score: 1
    A dongle, for those who weren't around in the late 80s/early 90s

  23. Re:Harrison Schmidt quote on House Asks NASA to Postpone Space Plane · · Score: 1
    Sadly, it's very hard to get rid of an agency the size of NASA and replace it with a bunch of young turks.

    Damn straight. Why replace engineers and technicians with men whose claim to fame is buggering each other?

  24. Re:To man or not to man on House Asks NASA to Postpone Space Plane · · Score: 1
    Do we need manned spacecraft to do our research?

    Maybe we should finally tell Davak the big secret: that all the chimps we sent into space came back super-intelligent.

    please let it be break!

    Gee, what are the chances of THAT happening?
