  1. It would make it easier on Greenbacks No More · · Score: 2

    Just shell out a few bucks for Monopoly, then visit the local Stop'N'Go, rather than having to go to the trouble of putting Dubya's face on a self-printed $200 bill.

  2. Re:Only locals? on Baby Bells Open to Antitrust Lawsuits · · Score: 2

    He needs a good 'ol cockpunching Jarad (subway) style.

    Look, there he is, beating that dead horse!

  3. Uniformative Article on Robocup 2002 Now Underway · · Score: 2

    So what does a Robocup look like, exactly? And why do the robots need to wear a cup? Do they have Roboballs?

  4. Type of block on Blocking Instant Messengers? · · Score: 2

    Use a Cinder Block. Apply to the head of $IM_LUSER.

  5. Re:I just wanna do backups! on Philips Blue Laser Itty Bitty Disc Drive · · Score: 2

    I haven't had a decent backup medium in years

    Try the Psychic Friends network. They can hook you up with mediums from around the world. Also fakirs, seers and quite possibly accredited druids.

  6. Re:July 14th: The stoning of Redmond on Windependence Day · · Score: 2

    Damn, I sure I hope I spelled everything correctly. :)

    From now on, I sure I hope I do too.

  7. Re:CNN calls it a "victory" on Copyright Office Publishes Final Webcasting Rates · · Score: 2

    Some victory... instead of cutting off both arms, you get to keep one. :(

    No, they both get cut off at the elbow: cut in half.

  8. Re:Moonraker on ESA Holds Workshop On Lunar Base Design · · Score: 2

    No sharks with lasers?

  9. Re:Newsgroups on What's It Like to be Google's Boss Techie? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Absolutely. What was your name again? We'll also need your username and password, and your SSN for transitive co-location identification.

  10. Itty Bitty Disc Drive? on Philips Blue Laser Itty Bitty Disc Drive · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will it come with an itty-bitty felt-tip pen so I can listen to the content of the discs?

  11. Re:Military grade on Security Concerns When Consoles Go Online? · · Score: 2

    It's true folks - nothing stops NT on on a warship

    Just to be a little picky: Water resistance in the ocean stops NT on a warship, after NT kills the engines.

  12. Re:July 14th: The stoning of Redmond on Windependence Day · · Score: 2

    Fortunately, there were no serious injuries...

    You mispelled "Sadly".

  13. Re:The People versus Bill Gates on Final Arguments in MS vs. the States · · Score: 2

    Running Time: 4 hrs, 11 min.

    That sounds awfully short for a Costner film.

  14. Re:Let's stop and reflect on Final Arguments in MS vs. the States · · Score: 2

    I fail to see any big favors they've done us.

    What about humorous videos of sweaty bald men jumping around and screaming, "DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVLOPERS!!"?

  15. Re:Not at Walmart, at walmart.com on Mandrake to Come Preloaded on Wal-Mart PCs · · Score: 5, Funny

    the computers pre-loaded with Mandrake are going to be available at walmart.com, not at Wal-Mart retail stores. There's a difference.

    Right. To get the PCs preloaded with Mandrake, you simply drive to Wal-Mart, purchase a Lindows PC, take it home and sign up with an ISP. Then, connect to the Internet, visit walmart.com and order yourself a Mandrake PC. Finally, return the Lindows PC to the store and wait for your new Mandrake PC.

    It's easy to say who the villain would be in that movie.

    Michael Eisner? Senator Hollings?

  18. Re:Sound Blaster 16 on The State of PC Audio · · Score: 2

    I have the SB16 WavEffects. (8-bit in hardware, 16-bit emulated by Windows drivers.) Works fine for what I use it for: CD-Audio, playing MP3s, some games. Works fine under Red Hat 6.2 as well.

  19. Re:Telepathic Network the way to go on Yet Another "Last Mile" Option · · Score: 2

    With all the electricity going through the human body it only stands to reason that we could pass data from human to human

    But how many bytes could be transferred before you have to put on tube socks and scuff around on shag carpeting to recharge?

  20. Re:*BSD is Dying is Invited on Slashdot Effect, Live and In Person · · Score: 2

    Round 11: Is JonKatz's head harder than a hammer head?

  21. Re:shouldn't it start from the top? on Monopolists Dropped Off At The County Line · · Score: 2

    Unless you're trying to listen to music that you bought, watch a movie that you bought, or use software that you bought in the manner you wish.

    ...one-button input device

    Well, a one-button keyboard couldn't be used in the Windows world. How would you give it the 3-finger salute?

    Ooohhh. One button mouse!
