  1. Whoopsie on Star In A Jar · · Score: 2

    It about stars in the sky. My first reaction to the story title was that our favorite hanky-panky investigator Ken Starr, at least his head, was making an appearance on "Futurama".

  2. Re:Audiophiles are *worse* than drug addicts on Insanely Audiophile · · Score: 2

    Yeah, right. If audiophilia is a religion, then so is $cientology.

    So how do Verizon Employees stack up against /. editors?

  4. Confusion on Hardware Reviews Online · · Score: 3

    I took a look at the Extreme Tech site, and was left a bit confused. How am I supposed to vote in an online poll if I can't vote for CowboyNeal?

  7. Re:Well, wouldn't you? on Cell Phone Makers Patent "Brain Shields" · · Score: 2

    And diarrhea. Just the thought of applying the latest Service Pack, even on a test machine with good backups at hand, gives me the shits.

  11. Re:Search Engines ? on Law Review Article Says Port Scanning Illegal · · Score: 2

    But, just opening Network Neighborhood/My Network Places scans CIFS, doesn't it? Does this mean that Microsoft is breaking the law by including this criminal toolkit in Windows? ;)

  15. Caution on Giant Airships to Deploy Buildings by 2003 · · Score: 3

    Sure, it sounds good now, but how long will it be until we have Frogstar fighters picking up buildings at will just because they want someone who is inside?

  16. D'oh! on Web Bug Detector · · Score: 2

    I parsed "Web Bug Gallery. It would seem our beloved slashdot has them as well." and thought, well, duh, that's common knowledge. Then I read the article, and realized that they meant the spy-type of bug, rather than the slopped-together-code-type.

    " B, A, START!"

    Will this replace "CLEAR!" as the warning to back off a cardiac arrest victim about to be defibrillated?

  19. Re:hey Sean try this on When Does Video Surveillance Go Too Far? · · Score: 2

    Run the "3D Maze" screensaver that comes with Windows, replace all the textures with a psychedelic, tie-dyed type bitmap, and move the webcam so that the screen is all it can see.

    I used to make people sick from ten feet away doing that, just think how it might look up close. (Made me sick, too.) I think I still have the BMP in question, too, if you want it.

    Maybe EMI will insist on Roxio patching their products to the point where they DON'T destroy Windows, regardless of the install options selected.

  22. Perl, in my head!?!? on Calendar: Code, Free Speech, Or Mathematics? · · Score: 2

    How in the heck am I going to compile Perl into my head? That's completely besides the fact that the human brain would probable go schizo trying to figure out the best way to implement the alogorithm, since there are probably too many ways to do it.

  25. Re:And in a completely unrelated story... on Duct Tape · · Score: 1

    Retraction: Reporters in Michigan are retracting an alert concerning monstrous "bunnies." These "bunnies" are talentless dancers dressed as 8-foot tall green bunnies, and were only eating the people stipulated in their contract.

    CmdrTaco, a shut-in reporter for an internet news-a-like based out of Michigan, issued the following staement: "We jumped the gun, and mistook an ad campaign for the new XEON for something bad. INTEL's lawyers have corrected us, and we are retracting everything they tell us too. Micro$oft sucks!!!"
