  1. Re:The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on Douglas Adams, Narnia, and Trailers · · Score: 2

    I'm betting that they're going to attempt a Harry Potter/LotR of this classic.

    They're going to sue any little kids who have the audacity to make it known that they are a fan (Harry Potter)/make a damn fine silver screen adaptation with plenty of subtle homoeroticism?(LotR)

  2. Re:How to Make a Trailer: on Douglas Adams, Narnia, and Trailers · · Score: 2

    Don't forget to have trailer-only dialog that is as good as or better than anything in the theatrical release. Men in Black, Major League 2, etc.

    Hell, just paint it pink, and erect an SEP on it. Takes care of that.

  5. Re:But is it housetrained? on Microsoft Says IBM/Linux Their Biggest Threat · · Score: 2

    "Linux is free like a puppy."...only occasionally craps on the carpet or chews my shoes. Now Windows on the otherhand...

    makes you feel like that poor zookeeper, Friedrich Riesfeldt.

  6. Re:France prepares defenses on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 2

    In a related story, American troops have been seen rolling large tinfoil balls filled with an unknown substance into strategic locations around France.

    The question on all our minds is, "Are they wearing bunny slippers?"

  7. Re:The problem isn't blinding on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 2

    ...getting the axis of evil to use blue lasers...

    Ummm, shouldn't they use GREEN lasers on their fighters? I thought the good guy ships had red, bad guy ships had green.

  8. Dilbert on Take a Mac User to Lunch · · Score: 2

    Why did I just flash on the whole "Have lunch with an Executive VP" thing from Dilbert?

  9. Re:Pittsburgh Sucks on Slashdot Readers Visit Meatspace · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Indianapolis, too. It was to be in an Internet cafe. The bartender hadn't heard anything about it, nobody looking around for anybody. Had a couple of beers, bailed after a half-hour or so.

  10. Re:What's the diff??? on ACLU Files New DMCA Challenge · · Score: 2

    So, what's the difference???

    Which one you are, the prison bitch or the one on top.

    Kind of like the 7-UP truck driver calendar?

  12. Re:How I'm planning on celebrating Friday... on Time to Say Thanks For the Uptime · · Score: 2

    I rather like, "There's a nut loose on the keyboard."

  13. Re:Not too bad... on First Wind-up Phone Charger Review · · Score: 2

    Of course, if the call was THAT important, you could try to charge it BEFORE it dies completely.

  14. Re:Not too bad... on First Wind-up Phone Charger Review · · Score: 2

    The only problem is that if you wind it to get standby back, if someone calls you are likely to only have a minute or so of talking.

    Simple. Turn off the phone while charging it. Turn it back on when you're done.

  15. Re:I agree on Time to Say Thanks For the Uptime · · Score: 3, Funny

    Really, do we have a CEO appreciaton day for all their hard work?

    Good idea. We should. Those chairs don't stay moist on their own, you know.

  16. Re:How I'm planning on celebrating Friday... on Time to Say Thanks For the Uptime · · Score: 5, Funny

    "You lost your password huh? That sucks. Keep guessing!"

    Now, that's not very pro-active. Take a tip from Simon and use things like "goshimaplonker" or "imaginebeingsostupid". You have to WORK for job satisfaction.

    There is still a huge margin of error in the calculation of the asteroid's orbit.

    10+ year old B+D that still works. Has KitchenAid even been in business that long?

    Actually, yes. My house was built in 1987, and had a KitchenAid dishwasher as part of the original appliance set. On the other hand, what brand is KitchenAid LESS expensive than? Or has that changed since Whirlpool bought 'em?

  22. Re:Compaq beep of death on Panicking In Morse Code · · Score: 2

    old ALRs (remember them?)

    Aahhh...I have one sitting in the corner at my $ORK_PLACE. It is made out of a strange material called "metal", if you can believe that.
