    Right...BSD. Next you'll tell him to speak in Latin, and write in Sanskrit.

  2. Re:Firebird based? on Mozilla 1.5 Alpha Available · · Score: 2, Funny
    Firebird and Thunderbird are already proving to be ready for prime time

    That's all well and good, but when will Trans Am and Viper be out?

    It's Dave Thomas!

    Take off, eh. I'll take a burger and a beer, eh.

  4. Re:So how does one gain weight? on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1
    I mean I've heard that beer could help, but being a lightweight, it doesn't take many beers to put me out...

    Go for a non-alcoholic beer. It's not the alcohol that packs on the gut, but the carbs.

    "Those look like comfortable shoes."

    Seriously, get GOOD footware. Go to a shoe store that caters to runners, and get the best you can afford. They'll be able to recommend shoes based on your stride, arch, pronation of your ankle, etc. I went from cheap shoes I picked up at Wal-Mart to a good pair of Brooks. World of difference.

  6. "Buck" for a promotion on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's exercise that'll tone your neck, with a high-protein diet.

  7. How expensive can it be? on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: 1

    If they don't even pay the actors.

    ...if it stars Kevin Costner, then it has to make money, right?

    Not neccessarily, but it WILL take about 4 years to download over an OC48.

    Who does DirecTV sue?

    I wonder how long it will be before we have a washing machine buffer overflow...

    That's what the drain in the floor is for, isn't it?

  11. 100 IP addresses per person on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1

    But only 1/6th of the screen for text in online articles. Even Slashdot is more readable than the Times.

    Do moderators actually follow these links before given modpoints?

    Nope, they follow the leader. Do Slashdot editors actually follow these links before posting an article?

    Don't you mean "puffed"?

    The "b" is for bargain!

  15. Re:Crayons! on Color Printing Without the Inkjet Mess? · · Score: 1
    crayons add so much "feel" and atmosphere to a picture

    If you like crayons, you'll love oil paints. They add a distinct "old world" feel to your printoffs.

    And we're going to put a happy little tree down here. Now this tree is our secret. If you tell ANYONE, I will come to your house and I will CUT YOU!

  17. Re:The reason this is a bad idea on Comcast Offers Trial Of Microsoft TV Software · · Score: 1
    The television *must* start up to Channel 447 - "Gates Gone Wild, Doggie Style."

    Better than channel 462: "The Monkey Channel - All Ballmer, All Sweaty"

  20. A New Graphical Boot on New Red Hat Linux Beta: Severn · · Score: 1

    Hopefully it's red, so it matches their hat. It begs the question though, why not two boots? Are they that strapped for cash that they have to buy footware on an installment plan?

  21. Re:Definitly! on Amazon Plan Would Allow Text Search Of Books · · Score: 1

    Such as The Caine-Hackman theory. No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV.

  22. Re:Buh-wah? on RFID Tags on Mach3 Razorblades Snap Your Photo · · Score: 1

    • Drivers license (just can't be by itself)
    • Various (credit, power, phone)bills with your current address.
    • Military ID
    • CCW
    • State ID card
    • Govt. Employee ID

    The list goes on. There are 4 categories you fall into, based on current residence, previous residence, current license, etc. The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against the Indiana BMV over this. Can you imagine moving to a new state and having to wait a month or more to get a driver's license, simply because your bills haven't come in?

    Not sure what this means, but it sounds nasty.

    Is that a hydrospanner in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

    When did you do this? The BWV here instituted a new "ID requirements" program last July. 2 unique pieces of ID to renew your license, up to 4 required to get your first license.
