  1. Re:Boo Hoo on TV Networks Don't Want DMCA Protection For YouTube · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Hear that sound? That's the sound of the world's tiniest violin playing the saddest song in the world.

    Careful, that song is probably copyrighted.

    That is why the song is so sad. Happy songs are in the public domain and get performed all of the time!

  2. Re:Next steps, please on Ultrathin Silk-Based Brain Implants · · Score: 1

    "Funny" gains no karma. The way to tell if someone doesn't care about karma? If they joke a lot, they're no karma whore. And some of us are swimming in karma and really don't worry about it.

    I can tell you care about Karma because you didn't make a joke.

  3. Re:Go Canada! on Google Enumerates Government Requests · · Score: 1

    Funny. When I go on a vacation I look for culture, history, local entertainment, new experiences. 3 hours of nothingness sounds like the exact opposite of what I'd want.

    Oh, you have to drive 4 hours for that

  4. Re:The fun is in the simplicity on All the Best Games May Be NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    nope, there are minesweeper knockoffs in the same menu with the teris knockoffs.

  5. Re:Here we go.. on Why Lenders Overlook Warning Signs of ID Theft · · Score: 1

    So are you saying it's ok to rob banks, because that's where the money is kept?

    So your saying it OK to rob places without money?

    1) Marry chick with high IQ
    2) Train her to do whatever you tell her
    3) ???
    4) Profit!

    Gentlemen, I think we've figured out what to put in step 3. Harvest away!!!

    I think you'll run into trouble before step 1...

  7. Re:Why are we scanning books on Japanese Researchers Develop World's Fastest Book Scanner · · Score: 1

    yeah, there was nothing of interest that was ever published without a DIGITAL REPRESENTATION.

    I don't see what the big fuss about Gutenberg is. Even the ancient Babylonians were using lasers to print on their clay tablets.

  8. Re:no doubt on xkcd, Devotion To Duty · · Score: 1

    accidental moderation - parent funny

  9. Re:Obligatory on Lego Robot Solves Any Rubik's Cube In 12 Seconds · · Score: 1

    why are you hanging out with the normals?

  10. Re:almost fooled me... on Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Batteries · · Score: 5, Funny

    I got excited for a minute because I thought the header read "Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Babies".

    That would have been interesting.

    So, Windows 7 is still killing babies?

  11. forget absorbling light on One Variety of Sea Slugs Cuts Out the Energy Middleman · · Score: 1

    I want to emit light. at will. So I don't need a flashlight, or could get a job as an organic tanning booth and loose weight at the same time. Or, dare I say, sparkle when outdoors.

  12. you can have both! on Google Native Client Puts x86 On the Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    JIT emulation is the worst of both possible worlds! The extra overhead of the bytecode to native translations and the extra overhead of emulation!

  13. Re:Define "Winning" on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: 1

    Actually, the pay for soldiers is dwarfed by the pay for private contractors.

    and only auto mount one of them.

  15. Re:the art of posing problems on The 23 Toughest Math Questions · · Score: 1

    You are Alan Turing and I claim my ten pounds.

    If your a regular on slashdot, I'll bet you can claim a lot more pounds than 10.

  16. Re:Dupe on Compressor-Free Refrigerator On the Way · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is a new feature on Slashdot. The same article is rehashed again and again each time using less and less information. Eventually the title will be "stuff" and the text will say "this matters". Furthermore it will be tagged with every previous tags and will cover every previous discussion on Slashdot ever.

    Then ????????

    Then comes the profit!

    Fixed that for you.

  17. Re:Simple: on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and your not sniffing the traffic to these boxes why?

    someone has hacked your dns server and is now getting all of your spam

  19. Re:What COBOL really needs on Why COBOL Could Come Back · · Score: 4, Funny

    What COBOL really needs is a hip new framework to make it "cool", just like Ruby!

    I propose COBOL on Rails. Any takers?

    Mod troll if you wish. :-)

    You are right, COBOL probably does need a new hip.

  20. How is this not a denial of service attack? on FCC Chief Says Comcast Violated Internet Rules · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I still can't figure out how sending a forged packet is not a denial of service attack. If I started putting forged packets on Comcast's network, wouldn't they treat it as a criminal matter? Why doesn't somebody report them to the FBI?

  21. good? on FCC Orders Anti-Monopoly Report Destroyed · · Score: 1

    what has the good FCC done for citizens lately, aside from arbitrary and vague obsenity rulings?

  22. mmmmm vapor on Stuart Cohen Predicts Office for Linux · · Score: 1

    I'll believe it when I see microsoft office for linux for sale at the local best buy, and not a minute before.

  23. math on The Game Design of Survivor · · Score: 2, Funny
    (And no, I am not suggesting that you walk up to a girl and start talking to her about math. It doesn't work so well. Trust me.)

    Stay away from girls who don't like to talk about math, or whatever it is your into. The ones who like the same things are less likely to intoduce you to fractions like (1/2) down the road.
  24. Re:Playin' for fun these days on Collecting - The Disease · · Score: 1

    Demon Cards? best mod ever.

  25. is a ddos a serious crime? on UK Hackers Face Antisocial Behaviour Orders · · Score: 2, Insightful

    'acted in a way which facilitated or was likely to facilitate the commissioning of serious crime'

    if a ddos attack is a serious crime, is using a computer with known remote security exploits 'acting in a way'?
