  1. Yup on China Ahead in Stem-Cell Research · · Score: 2


    "Yew must be dem clones I been a-hearing 'bout. Y'all look the same ta me."
    </Southern Senator>

  2. Re:Destroys AM Radio usage! Should ban these! on The Timex Speedpass Watch · · Score: 2

    ...that AM Radio becomes pure noise.

    As opposed to...what? Crap?

  3. Re:Perl 6 on Perl 5.7.3 out! · · Score: 2

    ...mod_parrot? It just doesn't sound as cool. ^_^

    Perhaps it'll be called mod_pirate instead? Or mod_LJ-Silver.

  4. Re:The Cheap Alternative to Subscribing on IEEE Computing Covers Freenet · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Or browse in "Light Mode".

    Or just read the ads. They're not THAT bad.

  5. Re:Where do they go for outsourcing? on India Plans A Supercomputing Grid · · Score: 2

    Perhaps they'll get Battle School grads to do the work in forced-labor camps. Probably only need some kind of a psycho who's willing to kill to keep 'em in line.

  6. Re:the down side... on India Plans A Supercomputing Grid · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ahhh. Perhaps they are adapting the Avian Carrier technology to Large Ruminants to provide lower altitude, higher throughput (camels can carry more than birds) service. Latency is still pretty bad, I'll bet.

  7. Re:Huh? on Columbine Video-Games Suit Dismissed · · Score: 2

    Yeah, meatspace Pong was great, until we played it in front of the Principal's window. Definitely NOT safety glass.

  8. A Geek's Geek? on Slashback: 640K, Pioneer, Payback · · Score: 3, Funny

    Absolutely. Richest man in the world, but just look at the hair.

    "Check out the bowl-job, Marge!" --Homer

  9. Re: DUH? on Slashback: 640K, Pioneer, Payback · · Score: 2

    It's part of their new strategy

    Strategy? Maybe, but I'd like to see 'em spell it.

  10. Re:Create Theft? on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    buying Senators creates infinite corporate copyrights...

    Oh, wait...is that offtopic for a Disney thread? *cough*

  11. Re:Microsoft is concerned about Taxes? on More Mayhem From MSFT's Mundie · · Score: 2

    They're probably flogging sales tax.

  12. Re:Dialogue of the Sale on 'No Thanks' Not Good Enough For AOL Promos · · Score: 2

    Based on the dialogue, the UPS guy would probably bring 2 boxes of toothpicks.

    And then bop the Helpless Victim with the Calvinball.

  13. Re:I know how we can help... on BeOS For Linux · · Score: 2

    ...anyone have a grammar checker?

    The nerve, asking something like this on /.! You might as well ask Taco to recommend a spellchecker.

  14. Tech Support Staple on What's the Worst Acronym You've Ever Heard? · · Score: 2

    PEBKAC

    Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

  15. Re:RC helicopters... on Smallest RC Cars? · · Score: 2

    I can only imagine these things, lots of fun, until somebody loses an eye.

    Remember, it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye. Then, it's just fun.

  16. Possible reason on @Home Post Mortem: Who or What Killed @Home? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Maybe because you could browse the web for an hour, and end up knowing more about networking (and geography) than @HOME specialists?

  17. Precision Farmer Actions on GPS Meets Agriculture for Precision Farming · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    GPS: Left...Right...Left...Congratulations, you have just Frenched your daughter.

    "I'm going steady, and I French kiss."
    "Yeah, well, everybody does that."
    "Well, Daddy says I'm the best at it."

  18. Re:Simulations Not Always Helpful on PC Games To Help Public Policy Initiatives · · Score: 2

    Ahhh...War Games.

    How about a nice game of chess?
    No, let's play Global Thermonuclear War.

    Hell, I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it'd help!

  19. Re:SimPublicPolicy on PC Games To Help Public Policy Initiatives · · Score: 2

    SinPorkbarrelling, perhaps? Or how about SimKickback? SimBribetaking?

    Or, more in line with the racial profiling tactics being kicked around for airports: SimJimCrow.

  20. Re:Riiiiiight. on PC Games To Help Public Policy Initiatives · · Score: 1

    Games are fun, simulations are not.

    Obviously, you haven't checked out the simulation called "Virtual Valerie".

  21. Just imagine! on PC Games To Help Public Policy Initiatives · · Score: 2

    If our public officials used Leisure Suit Larry as a training tool? Or have the Kennedys already done so?

    Perhaps the Ashcroft used 3D Monopoly to help in crafting the Microsoft-DOJ antitrust settlement.

  22. Re:The little dog? on Slashback: Decade, Fragmentation, RDRAM · · Score: 2

    Thank God he got away from that witch out West.

    "I'll get you my pretty, and your LITTLE DOG too!"

    Too bad he didn't know about the water trick, huh?

  23. A screenplay written by Jack Valenti on Slashback: Decade, Fragmentation, RDRAM · · Score: 2

    "It's just me in front of a brick wall for 90 minutes. It cost 80 million dollars. Here's a clip"

    Jack:Thieves!....That's the joke.
    Consumer:You suck Valenti! *BOOM*
    Jack:You stole 350 billion songs!
    Consumer:Get off the stage! *Bang*
    Jack:You will be responsible for the starvation deaths of corporate tools like Metallica!


    Apologies to the Simpsons and McBain

  24. Re:One question... on Iris Indigo Case Mod · · Score: 2

    The Democrat Party's National Convention. They'll do anything for a dollar!

  25. Re:Tunney Act on Microsoft, Feds Revise Settlement Agreement · · Score: 2

    Uh... so if a law is more than 25 years old, it is no longer relevant?

    Hmmm. The laws allowing incorporation to protect the officers of the company are well aver 25 years old. Perhaps Bill Gates should be hauled into court and be made personally accountable for Microsoft's crimes, since those laws are "irrelevant as a legal matter".
