  1. Re:No..No.. [e^(pi * j)] + 1 = 0 on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 2

    But its "j" damn it! jaaaayyyy!

    What, for "jimaginary"?

  2. Re:OT: Refreshing! on Next Windows to Have New Filesystem · · Score: 2

    Refreshing to see an MS news item that has no bashing in it what-so-ever. How about we keep the discussion mature, also?

    I think you missed the implied sarcasm.

  3. Re:another key difference on Marvel Universe Is Almost Like *Real Life* Society · · Score: 2

    Plus, real people are only 6 heads tall, whereas those in the Marvel Universe are 7 or 8.

  4. Re:I know what someone should make! on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 2

    Well, once it pulls out the pages with all the search terms, than it can send them over some dedicated processors to check nearness. I'm sure people would be willing to wait 5 minutes for it, especially if it gave you a window the straight-up regular-style results in the meantime.

  5. Re:Strange but true.. on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hold on a sec, are we talking accidentally as in he meant to type "fat midgets fucking" or he meant to type "SSX Tricky cheat codes"? Either way, I think he has some 'splaining to do.

  6. Re:How about a FPS game? on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    That game sounded cool, but boy did it ever suck when I tried it out.

  7. Re:Just rereading interface this week... on Stephenson's Quicksilver Slated For March 7th · · Score: 1

    The Cobweb is at least as good as Interface. And funnier.

  8. Re:what's so hard? on TiVo, PVRs Not Making A Splash · · Score: 1

    I thought that too at first, but then I wondered what was so easy about -1.

  9. Re:Low Budget Colocation! on Free Wireless Networks at Airports · · Score: 2

    "I / it could go unnoticed"

    I am on to your plan, terrorist boy!

  10. Re:Standard Fundie Alert! on Ultimate Stem Cell Discovered · · Score: 1

    Yeah, here's your embryo [ama-assn.org]. MURDER! MURDER! I can see a face in that right cell!

    I don't know; it kind of looks like a butt to me.

  11. Re:"The moon is moving away from Earth." on Measuring The Distance From Earth To Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes, but the moon moving closer to the Earth could seriously affect how squished I get when it lands on me.

  12. Re:But my old encylopedia... on Measuring The Distance From Earth To Moon · · Score: 2

    Hmmm, mine says it's 80,000 leagues to the moon and that it causes insanity.

    Oh, and asbestos is a miracle mineral that will render the House Of The Future completely fireproof.

  13. Re:Alternative Solution on Measuring The Distance From Earth To Moon · · Score: 1

    :s/Odometer/odometer.
    I hate it when I do that.


    You must be German.

  14. Re:It's you that controls distribution... on Why 'rm -R star' Isn't Enough · · Score: 2

    Lighter fluid? Haven't you ever heard of thermite?

  15. Let me guess... on Driver's Licenses to Become National ID Cards · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you don't drive, you're a terrorist, right?

  16. Re:USENET saved and now this? on Courts Begin To Frown On Online Badmouthing · · Score: 1

    IMHO, one of the problems with our society, and with our planet is that people don't use their brains. Imagine how history would have been different if a few people in Germany had questioned their leaders in the 1930s. (To cite the most extreme example)

    They would have been shot.

  17. Re:uuencoded image on Time Canada Shows New iMac · · Score: 1

    How did you get past the lameness filter??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  18. Re:Synopsis -- just the facts on Square, FFXI, and the MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Will Mexican-American Males have +5 table bussing ability?

    No, but their airships will have a lowrider mode.

  19. Re:I think I'll wait for the box set... on Info on the LOTR:FOTR DVD · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that most of the new paperback copies of LOTR all feature covers with photos from the movie.

    Blech. I hate the movie books. If I'm going to be a sheep and buy a book right when the movie comes out, I'm certainly not going to advertise my literary shallowness with a big old picture of a cast member on the cover.

  20. Re:I think I'll wait for the box set... on Info on the LOTR:FOTR DVD · · Score: 2

    This is probably the first time in my life where I can expect more than 0.0001% of the readers to get the reference.

    Not much more.

  21. Re:One simple reason why it won't work: on The Euro · · Score: 2

    No, not really. You see, we have these things over here in Europe called schools, and instead of guns our teachers carry books (or at least they did back in the day). Now some of those books are for teaching foreign languages.

    The teachers don't carry guns, the students do. Get with it.

  22. Re:"Welcome to a Brave New World" on FBI Confirms Magic Lantern Existence · · Score: 2

    (That is, if "terrorism" was not just a threat fabricated and exploited in order to eliminate the rights of US citizens.)

    By the Jews, right?

  23. Re:First mention of Slashdot on Great points in Usenet history · · Score: 5, Funny


    Ever feel like you're not getting the whole story?
    http://SLASHDOT.ORG


    Wait, is there supposed to be some sort of logical link between these two lines? I can't figure it out.

  24. Re:Not a troll, but useless on Cringely On Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 1

    Well, hmmmmm, and which OS has a 95% market share? Oh yeah, Windows.

  25. Re:Wooden ear for irony on What Accessibility Options Exist for Unix? · · Score: 1

    If it were anybody else, it would be ironic, but it's the government. It's expected.
