  1. The first thing that popped into my head... on Opera Promises Voice-Operated Web Browser · · Score: 1

    Was the Operaman skits from SNL with Adam Sandler.

    Our browsero, isa beterro, then de Internet Exploraho

    (on close...)
    OperaMAAANNNN, bye BYE!

  2. The Choice of Cities on USDTV Announces Low-Cost, Localized Digital TV · · Score: 4, Funny

    Great selection for the test markets...

    Salt Lake City - only watch the 700 Club
    Las Vegas - too busy gambling
    Albuquerque - can't afford tv's

  3. Scented Emails on See Spot Surf · · Score: 2, Funny

    See, this is why we need to further develop the Scented Email...my dog said it want's to get a wiff of the ass of CutePup316

  4. Paying for Air on Hardware Hacking Projects for Geeks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All of this information can be collected for free (and in greater detail, I imagine) on the net. I mean, give me a day on google and a few hours to format it all into a nice pdf, and I could publish a cafepress book with the same info.

    This reminds of those "Internet Yellowpages" they used to sell at Barnes & Noble when AOL took off. Why not just use Yahoo? (pre-google, mind you)

  5. Re:I live in Marin (where Skywalker is located) on Skywalker Ranch Wines · · Score: 1

    That perspective is skewed. Marin doesn't have the proper microclimate to grow wine grapes. It gets too cold with the weather coming in off the ocean. Napa, 30 miles away, has a different microclimate than that of San Rafael.

    The crow would pass over many vineyards, but they would all be concentrated in his last few miles.

  6. I live in Marin (where Skywalker is located) on Skywalker Ranch Wines · · Score: 4, Funny

    More specifically, I live a few miles from it. You don't grow wine in San Rafael, you grow it up in the Napa valley. His place is just a little bit off the 101, so I imagine carcinogens won't add to the flavor.

    I guess when old white directors run out of good ideas they move up here and start a vineyard.

  7. Open Source on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now will everyone stop bitching about Windows not being open source?!

  8. What message board? on Outsourced Confidential Data On Children Posted · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm sure the "it professionals" on alt.pedophiles were more than happy to check out the db issues for him.

  9. How replaceable are you? on Modifying Employment Agreements? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The question I would be asking is how would the react if you asked them to change it? Custom-tailoring an NDA to you raises a lot of issues that an employer doesn't want to deal with. It sets a precedent that they probably don't want to deal with either. Would it just be easier for them to find someone else to fill the spot then to bend over backwards to curtail your needs?

  10. Sorta OT, but still relevant on Spirit and Opportunity Now Operational · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Has anyone heard anything about the "19" rock that was found? I heard on the radio yesterday morning that one of the rovers took a picture of a rock that "clearly" had the number 19 scrawled on it. Numerologists are going ape-shit because 19 = AI.

  11. I find it odd... on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    That the only guy on Slashdot with a 56k is the guy that started it

  12. Could be done much cheaper on How Spirit Takes Pictures · · Score: 1

    And why couldn't this all just be done with a TurboHopper and a hacked disposable digital camera?

  13. Hiding pr0n on A Terabyte In A Cigar Box · · Score: 1

    Now I can hide 1 terabyte of porn on a hard drive that fits in the cigar box I used to hide my analog porn in!

    w00t

  14. Re:Puh! (correction) on NASA Scientists Get Custom 24h39m-per-day Watches · · Score: 1

    Ugh..."pickup up"

    I need to stop posting while drunk.

  15. Puh! on NASA Scientists Get Custom 24h39m-per-day Watches · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Rolax I pickup up on Market Street does that already!

  16. Sing With Me on Tech Firms Defend Moving Jobs Overseas · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  17. Watermelons on Japanese Pocket-Size PC Cube Demonstrated · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now if the Japanese could only make cube-shaped watermelons...

    oh wait.

  18. When bending over in shower... on Virginia Arrests Man For Spamming · · Score: 5, Funny

    He will inevitably drop the soap and have to bend over to pick it up.

    I hope his inmates didn't buy any of his C0mp.le.tely 100 % N.a.T.u.R.a.L. MEN Enhancement!1!1!!!

  19. Let Me Be The First To Say... on So You Think Physics is Funny? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...I don't get it

  20. Petaluma on California Bans Genegineered Fish · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's already enough glowing fish in the Petaluma river...if you want on so bad just bring a net and a bio-hazard suit.

  21. Gambling Addicts on Voting Machines Vs. Slot Machines · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's just hope that gambling addicts don't sit at the booths pulling the lever for 24 hours straight...Bush could win again!

  22. I got a letter on RIAA Extends Legal Action · · Score: 3, Funny

    However, the DRM server was down and I was unable to read it!

  23. Contract on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    I'm stuck in a two-year contract, you insensitive clod.

    No really, I see the benefit of saving your number if you are seriously being screwed, but cell phone companies like to lock you in for at least a year. If there were month-to-month contracts more readily available this would be a great benefit, imo.

  24. Why Buy It? on 2000 Year Old Roman d20 Up For Auction · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe because you are, as we say in Latin, a "dorkus malorkus."
