    But how many asses does it have?

  3. Re:Pull yourself together man on Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 5, Funny
    You know, I just can't be bothered to check my spelling when I'm in a hurry to see a movie.

    Wow, with an attitude like that, you could be a Slashdot Editor!

  4. Re:Kidding right? on Server CE Database Development with .NET · · Score: 1
    I guess it's like the man said: when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    Remember, this is Microsoft we're talking about. It should go, "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like your thumb."

  5. Re:Accomplishments on (At Least) 100 Years Of Powered Human Flight · · Score: 1

    Walking funny?

    Would you settle for a bionic pilot that talks out of his ass?

  7. Re:Binary libraries on Explaining The Windows/UNIX Cultural Divide · · Score: 1
    all the MSDN pages and search engines seem like such a crappy mess that unless you know exactly the function you want, it's damn hard to find documentation for it.

    And when you DO know the exact name for it, you'll likely get this result: "Sorry, no results were found."

    You have to know the exact MSDN, TechNet, Knowledge base name for what you want, which usually bears little to no resemblance to the designations in the docs, helpfiles, Event Logs or actual filenames. Of course, sometimes if you search on the same thing several times you'll get a result, but don't rerun a successful search! It gets tired and may come back with no results.

    respect from upper management

    Thanks. That laugh brightened my day.

    Didn't Milton write something

    Most likely. Don't write this down, but I find Milton probably as boring as you find Milton. Mrs. Milton found him boring too.

  10. Re:Peter Parker - Still a Geek! on Spider-Man 2 Preview Online · · Score: 1
    That was the Superman/Clark Kent scenario

    To be fair, Superman had that little "S" styled forelock, and Clark didn't, at least in the movies.

  11. Re:Full text: in case of slashdotting on Security Experts Doubt SCO's Claims of DoS · · Score: 1
    because SYN has a similar sound to "sin" - it sounds evil!

    Can mathematicians be close behind? Not only do they preach "Sin", but Co-"sin" as well. God only knows what "sins" they're performing with their Tan Gents.

    You misspelled "more money".

    It's been fixed from the start.

    That's why Dubya will have swept Ohio next November.

  14. Re:Smaller than a PS/2? on Low Powered Mini-Server for the Masses · · Score: 2, Funny
    Suppose you go into a store, and ask for a mouse. The guy behind the counter says "USB?", and that's not what you want. What is your response?

    Well, the type of person that would walk past the shelves loaded with mice to ask for a mouse would most likely say, "No, I want a mouse!"

  15. Yellow Journalism on Australian Pilot Stranded In Antarctica · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Quoth the poster: Now both the Americans and the New Zealanders there are refusing to sell him fuel.

    Qouth the article: But both the Americans and a nearby New Zealand base refuse to give him the fuel

    The article has no indication that an offer to buy fuel made made by the pilot, nor any statements that the US or New Zealand have refused to sell him fuel. This is simply a "govmint"-bash troll on the parts of mirio and the /. editors.

    Ditch the Flash banner. He's just using it for a supercharged "blink" effect.

    I started buying more clothes without looking at the volume of my dirty laundry. Now where do I store this stuff? Anyone want a t-shirt?

    Um, dirty or clean?

    If you think this is fun, maybe SCO will go after Apple/Jobs. I'm sure Steve would hold his tongue?

    Hopefully Jobs would not only hold it, but yank it right out of Darl's mouth.
