  1. Re:Milky Way on Milky Way Is Square(ish), According To New Map · · Score: 1

    You should flush it before you barf in it.

  2. Huh on Why You See 'Free Public WiFi' In So Many Places · · Score: 1

    Up until a month or so ago, there was always someone advertising as "Free Pubic WiFi". Always made us wonder...

    No sign of an inflatable DFA on the horizon :(

  4. Re:That's why he's suing,so people will know it's on Astronaut Sues Dido For Album Cover · · Score: 1

    Really? I thought it was a douche. Or maybe a turd.

  5. Re:How is this different from ... on Best Buy Unapologetic About Charging For PS3 Firmware Updates · · Score: 1

    Because porking a $5 whore doesn't leave you with that "the dirt won't wash off" feeling that you'll get from the Geek Squad.

  6. Re:No payback on Solar Power On the White House · · Score: 1

    Now if the hot air could be used to deliver the fertilizer they produce to farms across the country, it'd be a win-win!

    Ahh, but would he have become the emperor of the Winkies had he not joined Dorothy on her quest?

  8. Re:most people still don't understand electricity on Rube Goldberg and the Electrification of America · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...they have a peek voltage...

    So, do they have a built-in window to let you peek at the voltage, or do you need specialized equipment?

  9. Re:microsoft bob chat on Microsoft Rumored To Buy Second Life · · Score: 1

    ...a swarm of flying didoes.

    Am I the only one that read that as "flying dildos"?

  10. Re:Bad summary on Safety Commission To Rule On Safety of Rulers In Science Kits · · Score: 1

    That's why you want a quality ruler: wooden with the metal insert. Trying to hone the edge of a plastic ruler for homeroom melees is an exercise in frustration.

  11. Re:Marketing Genius. on Russian Firm Plans Commercial Space Station · · Score: 1

    Be more visionary. Maybe tables-based web pages are not that bad, but a space station? At least they're committing to CSS up front.

    Personally, I'm hoping for Meow Skywalker.

  15. Re:That Bogus Feeling on Microsoft To Release Emergency Fix For ASP.NET Bug · · Score: 1

    Speaking as one MS IT Pro, I am eagerly waiting the latest planning and strategy guide. They are supposed to be covering Freecell Game #12269, which has proven rather difficult in my past attempts to agilely incentivize my proficiencies to maximize my spend and boost my TCO.

  16. Re:The Poor Guy! on Segway UK Boss Dies After Driving Off Cliff · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...a bit of a lemming in day-to-day life.

    So foul play is suspected and Disney filmmakers are implicated?

    Well, CPE == Customer Premise Equipment. Every time there's a problem with an AT&T service, they invariably find that the CPE is the problem.

    Lots of French in New Zealand?

  19. Re:I'll miss them on Blockbuster Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know WTF people do, let their kids play hockey with the things?!

    It's just a new iteration of an old problem. Back in the 80's and 90's, the VHS rewinders used to break tapes on a regular basis. I imagine that the DVD rewinders being sold now can dish out some serious scratches.

  20. Re:journalistic integrity? on Former Military Personnel Claim Aliens Are Monitoring Our Nukes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Look it up, it's in the dictionary: right next to "Slashdot Editor".

  21. That IS horny! on Paleontologists Discover World's Horniest Dinosaur · · Score: 2, Funny

    Possibly even hornier than the dickwolves.

    They're likely shooting stuff off their own roofs and fences already, so if you can hit what you aim at...

  25. Re:Immature and Gun Happy on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    Oh, and as for the 'irrational fear of inanimate objects', I think that fearing (say) a chair would be irrational. Fearing a gun in the hand of someone willing to shoot it is slightly more rational.

    Perhaps you should give a better example. Fear of a chair is exactly the same as fear of a gun: Both are inanimate objects. Fear of a chair in the hand of someone willing to beat you with it would be closer.
