  1. Re:Can you imagine... on A Well-Chilled 750GHz Feasible Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Because it's actually a valid response this time.

  2. Re:Is Fantasy becoming a problem? on On The Dune Miniseries · · Score: 2

    > I decided on this action after reading about
    > the Dungeons & Dragons teenagers in America,
    > and all the reality-removed mischief they got
    > up to, thanks to the influence of SF.

    Do you realize this is an urban legend?

  3. Re:Oh God no... on Review: "Unbreakable" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the "FSU Parkaed Avenger" is pretty silly too.

  4. Re:Maybe on Mutant Tetrachromat Females Found · · Score: 1

    Silly boy, chicks don't play computer games.

  5. Where did this variation come from? on The New Geography · · Score: 1

    For a while now, I've been saying "Pot. Kettle. Black" instead of the longer original version. I assumed I made it up, but maybe not. Was this phrase used in any popular medium that I might have picked it up from?

  6. Moderate this up, please. on Do Media Companies Have Copyright Wrong? · · Score: 1

    People need to learn how to use words and phrases correctly.

  7. Re:Most news sites will probably work like CNN on Election-Day's Effect on the Net · · Score: 1

    Well, his car crashed, but that was before Al Gore invented the internet.

  8. Re:The Jukebox Phenomenon - Napster on A New Tack In Search Engine Formulation · · Score: 1

    If you want some of the old Loudo's music, just look for me on Napster (steverebar).

    I've also found that the only Roger McGuinn song is My Back Pages from Bob-Fest and the only Jimmie Dale Gilmore song is the duet with Lucinda Williams. And for some reason, nobody likes Emmylou unless she's singing with Dave Matthews or Dolly Parton.

    At least I can find The Real Slim Shady whenever I need it.

  9. Re:Turkey Bagel on Obfuscated Circuitry? · · Score: 1

    Turkey Bagel? Yuck. When's your IPO?

  10. s/Jessie/Jesse/ on Slashdot, The Elections, and Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    Man, spell it right. "Jessie" is short for "Jessica". "Jesse" is how a man spells his name.

    P.S. "Teddy Roosevelt"

  11. No it's not! on Slashdot, The Elections, and Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    A vote for Bush is a vote for Bush. A vote for Gore is a vote for Bush. They have the same stance on every issue. The only difference between them is their relative intellegence and honesty.

    Nader has actual opinions and convictions. You may not feel the same way on every issue, but at least you know he has the good of the country in mind.

    See other posts for reasons to vote against GoreBush and the Republicrats.

  12. Re:Linux is targetting Windows on RH7 Crashes In Three Weeks (But Fixed) · · Score: 1

    > Hello?
    > OK, which moderators confused the words insightful" and "off-topic"

    The Arab ones.

  13. Re:Get a Clue Cue on CueCat Goes After Online Barcode Database · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the cases judges are ruling in favor of the plaintiff on? I bet they could make this happen.

  14. Re:After The Slashdot Cruiser on 2001: A Space Laptop · · Score: 1

    Instead of "Enterprise", "Endeavor", "Columbia", we could have "CmdrTaco", "JonKatz", and "Hemos".

    I wouldn't mind seeing the JonKatz shuttle go Challenger.

  15. Apostrophe! on Linux Ported to Cisco Routers, BSD chosen by router manufacturers · · Score: 1

    There is no apostrophe in the plural form of "Cisco". If you are going to run a major news site, please follow the basic rules of English grammar.

  16. Re:Unfathomable on The Puzzle of Martian Meteorites · · Score: 1

    "err'd"

    What is this word?

  17. Re:Substitution organs on Coffee's Caffeine-Producing Gene Isolated · · Score: 1

    No, no, your pancreas is not important. We're talking about CAFFEINE here, people! Insulin shminsulin, I want more zoom-juice!!

  18. Re:Do the lights go out when you close the mirror? on Peeking At The Future: "Perfect Mirror" Cables · · Score: 1

    It would have to be a highly reflective cat.

  19. Re:Newspeak - What it really means... on Archimedes' Lost Words Yield To RIT Scientists · · Score: 2

    "Fell behind a copier"

  20. Re:What you get for jumping in bed with the UN on French Court To Yahoo!: Dump Nazi-Related Auctions · · Score: 1

    > U.S. conquers France within twelve-and-a-half minutes

    Wait, where do the 9 foot tall guys with dreadlocks fit in here?

  21. Re:Why only 65535 bugs? on Washington Supreme Court Upholds Shrinkwrap Licensing · · Score: 1

    Programmer0: "Hey, what should I use for the bug counter, bigint?"
    Programmer1: "Nah, nothing will ever have that many bugs; use a short, saves space, you know."
    Programmer0: "Yeah, you're right."

  22. Re:Uh on Washington Supreme Court Upholds Shrinkwrap Licensing · · Score: 1

    By reading this post, you owe me $5. Please pay with PayPal.

  23. Re:The point is obvious! on Cooling With Lasers · · Score: 1

    > Other examples include lightsabers...

    Lightsabres are clearly the coolest things ever. As you mentioned, lasers are cool. Swords are cool. Laser swords are exponentially cool. A guy I know believes that any situation can be made cooler by adding a lightsaber.

  24. Paddington Laptop on MI5 Laptop Stolen -- Along With Top-Secret Data · · Score: 4

    I think this would make a good children's story:

    A nice family finds the laptop in Paddington Station and decide to take it home and take care of it. It tends to get into little adventures and hilarity ensues.

  25. Re:Small University... on Bell Labs Achieves 3.28Tbps Over Fiber · · Score: 1

    Well, CMU does have Forum2000, which uses at least 32 terabytes.
