  1. Re:Beaowulf not the target audience on One-Machine Linux Cluster · · Score: 2

    Hopefully they'll have it ported to the iMac for women before too much longer.

  2. Re:Get in shape! on Virtual Reality With Unreal Tournament · · Score: 2

    Actually, the phrase "black eyes" comes to mind.

  3. Re:Waste of Time on Virtual Reality With Unreal Tournament · · Score: 2

    Or Virtual Valerie.

  4. Re:Coded in Linux? on Sharp Readies SL-5000D · · Score: 2

    But does it make Julienne fries? That has been the clincher for selling products to Americans for as long as I can remember.

  5. Re:Use the Force on Comdex Bans Bags From Show Floor · · Score: 2

    "This are not the bags you're looking for".

    Don't you mean, "All your base are belong to us"?

  6. Re:Attack of the Clones, Part II on Star Wars II (Attack of the clones) Trailer · · Score: 2

    Shouldn't that be, "Attack of the Trolls"?

  7. Re:The Slashdot Mindset on U.S. Logo-Free TV Broadcast Organizations? · · Score: 2

    Well, personally, I'd like to watch the show I tuned in to without commercials for upcoming shows being played over the dialog. Do you hear me, FOX?

  8. Re:Simulation is never perfect on Network Testbed Emulab.net · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    ...chief engineer urinates drunkenly on the packet switcher...

    Yes, but what about urine acidity and volume?

  9. Re:even more shocking... on InfoWorld says WinXP much slower than Win2K · · Score: 2

    Perhaps /. should require posters to have functional SHIFT keys on their keyboards before posting is allowed?

  10. Re:Silly people on InfoWorld says WinXP much slower than Win2K · · Score: 2

    Doesn't it have a 3D animated dog to help with the search applet? Or was this just a rumor?

  11. Neat. on Smart Yarn and E-Textiles · · Score: 2

    All I want is a jacket like McFly's in Back to the Future 2. Self-drying, self-sizing, yeah.

  12. Re:Let me see.. on Making Money In Open Source · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    You don't have to humor me, Marge.
    Well, it's pretty ingrained.

  13. Are DVDs Software Or Films? on Are DVDs Software Or Films? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Neither. They are plastic.

  14. Re:Special Effects on Behind the Scenes · · Score: 2

    I didn't need molded plastic to improve MY physique...Pure West. And how come Batman doesn't dance anymore? Remember the Batusi?

  15. Re:Special Effects on Behind the Scenes · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only thing that could've ruined this movie is if they placed Leo DeCaprio as Frodo.

    Or cast N'Sync as Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin and Fatty, with Britney as Eowyn and Christina as Arwen Evenstar. Throw in Clooney as Strider and Stallone as Boromir, and you open the way for Jim Carrey and Gary Busey to steal the show as Legolas and Gimli. With Travolta as fearless leader Gandalf the Thetan, LOTR would have rivalled the Batman movie starring Adam West and Burt Ward for space in moviegoer's hearts.

  16. Re:Night on Slashdot Ghost Stories? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wouldn't YOU be frightened to find an MCSE in YOUR server room?

  17. Re:Night on Slashdot Ghost Stories? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Meddle not in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are quick to violence, and have no need for subtlety.

    apologies to Prof. Tolkien

  18. Re:Haunted datacenter legacies... on Slashdot Ghost Stories? · · Score: 5, Funny

    LOL. Now I have to figure out how to apply this idea to my server named "uranus".

    In the deep, dark town, there was a deep, dark office park.
    In the deep, dark office park, there was a deep, dark building.

  20. Headpiece? on Billgatus Masks for Halloween? · · Score: 2

    Me? I'd just be interested in that nifty headpiece he wears.

    Don't you mean HAIRPIECE? What? That's his real hair? Damn....

    Homer: Check out the bowl-job, Marge.

  21. Re:slowness on Netscape 6.2 · · Score: 2

    I can't comment from firsthand experience, since I have never loaded NS6x. The last few builds of Mozilla, on the other hand, have been quite speedy. As a personal preference, I still prefer Opera, though.

  22. Re:slowness on Netscape 6.2 · · Score: 2

    Not on my PC. P5-200, 32MB RAM, Win95 OSR2, Communicator would load pages much faster than IE4. IE4 would load several pages, getting slower each time until it would finally hang.

  23. Re:slowness on Netscape 6.2 · · Score: 2

    It depends, of course, on what you are comparing them to. Compare Netscape 4.x or greater against Opera or Lynx, and it will seem like a dog. (Been so long since I've used a version prior to Communicator, I can't really comment.) Compare it to Internet Explorer, and it'll hold its own nicely.

  24. What does "Dead" mean? on MS DOS: A Eulogy · · Score: 2

    Is DOS dead as in gone, kaput, never to be seen again in Redmond? Or is it gone, no longer there as in a major marketing point for Windows 95?
