  1. Re:Like taking your PC in for a tune up on Microsoft Launches Anti-Virus Public Beta · · Score: 1

    this is more like replacing the air filter.

  2. Re:The "I'm Not Going To Prom" page on Lego Welcomes Hack Of Their Design Program · · Score: 2, Funny

    More like "future terrorists". Really, what exactly is this kid implying with his "Detachable Skyscraper"?

  3. Re:It's a lot easier on Mars than on Earth on Company to Settle and Mine Mars · · Score: 1
    But on Mars it's a lot easier than on Earth. First, safety is not as much of a concern. If you have a big radioactive spill on Earth, you've caused a lot of problems. On Mars, well, no one is drinking the groundwater anyway and the whole place is already uninhabited. So that greatly simplifies your factory.

    Excellent, we trade the current uninhabitable environment on Mars for a radioactive polluted uninhabitable environment.

    If we ever get off this planet, how about we start over the right way and try not to pollute everything we touch?

  4. Re:This is new? I've had it since 1997 on New Winzip in the Works · · Score: 1
    Um.... which.... industry, exactly?

    obviously the zip industry.

  5. voice is good on How Voice Enhances Life Online · · Score: 1

    Since you don't have to worry about spelling, voice is superior to the written word. Enchances?

  6. Re:Movie Theaters are Obsolete on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    Adult theaters don't count. Oh, and watch where you aim that thing, PeeWee.

  7. Re:Arguments becoming options on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    does HP-UX even support "--" ? I seem to recall not liking HP-UX very much.

  8. why is WoW so limited? on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1

    I can't really understand the excitement about WoW. How can it be considered a MMORPG when you've only got two players? And the input is fairly limited with only a 4-way joystick and a fire button per player. Not to mention gameplay is rather limited in the dungeons. That said, the sounds are pretty cool and it has speech too: "Find me, the Wizard of Wor!"

  9. Re:Radiation Proof suits? on Cosmic Rays Could Kill Astronauts Visiting Mars · · Score: 1
    The best alternative I've seen yet were plans to build a ship where all the water and other supplies were stored around the outsides of the ship

    so you're trading off direct exposure for ingesting irradiated water?

  10. Re:Better than Atari 2600 on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 1

    The Atari might of been more expensive in 1980 dollars, but the money was coming from your parents' pockets, not your own.

  11. Water is the source of all life on Ice Lake on Mars · · Score: 1

    Ripper: Mandrake, have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?

    Mandrake: No, Jack. I can't say that I have.

    Ripper: Vodka. That's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?

    Mandrake: Well, I believe that's what they drink, Jack. Yes.

    Ripper: On no account will a commie drink water? And not without good reason?

    Mandrake: I don't quite see what you're getting at, Jack.

    Ripper: Water. That's what I'm getting at. Water, Mandrake. Water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of the earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70% of you is water?

    Mandrake: Odd.

    Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.

    Mandrake: Yes.

    Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?

    Mandrake: Yes.

    Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you ever wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure grain alcohol?

    Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes.

    Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation, fluoridation of water?

    Mandrake: Yes, I have heard of that, Jack, yes.

    Ripper: Well, do you know what it is?

    Mandrake: No.

    Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous commie plot we have ever had to face?

  12. Re:1984 Called... on Lynn Settles With Cisco, Investigated By FBI · · Score: 3, Funny

    1984 is fine by me. Another year of playing Beach Head on the C64 while rockin' out to Frankie Goes to Hollywood would be good.

  13. Rasmussen, don't quit your day job on Google Maps Creator Takes Browsers To The Limit · · Score: 1

    good thing he's got a decent job with google, cause the guy sure can't time trial worth a darn. Two crashes and four bike changes? ouch.

  14. Re:Go back to painted external tanks on Shuttles Grounded Once Again · · Score: 4, Funny
    The paint probably ought to be non-stick coated to inhibit excess ice formation too.

    Ok Einstein, exactly how do you intend to get this non-stick coated paint to stick to the external tank? ;)

  15. Hasbro Transformers? on Voltron Coming To The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Hasbro did the Gobots, not the Transformers.

  16. Re:136.8 teaflops on Japan Wants to Build 10 Petaflop Supercomputer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't know, 136.8 tea baggings per second is a lot. How much gay porn is that?

  17. Re:Time for IPX on Planet Discovered with a Massive Core · · Score: 1
    If in all our history we had followed this "logic" we'd most likely still be stuck in Aflica.

    is that where Ben Affleck is from?

  18. Re:Alvaro Garza, Fargo ND, 1987 on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 3, Funny

    by full recovery, you mean this person was able to socially interact with other people from North Dakota? You sure he wasn't dead?

  19. from McAfee's datasheet... on McAfee, Macromedia Flirting With F/OSS Community · · Score: 3, Insightful
    from the first line of McAfee's datasheet...

    The world reverberated from the effects of viruses such as Nimda, CodeRed, and more recently, Slammer, Mydoom, Netsky, and Bagle.

    well, the Windows world reverberated....

  20. upgrade on Integrated Graphics from NVIDIA Back In Style · · Score: 1

    I assume ATI's RS482 and RS410 are upgrades to my RS232 port?

  21. Re:official detailed info on The Xbox 360 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    huh?

  22. Re:e=m and t=d on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1
    Personally, I prefer measuring distance in units of time, but either works.

    So then you understand me when I say, "I'm going bitch slap you to next Tuesday".
    Good.

  23. Re:Summary is a little too sensational on Mars Rover Stuck in a Dune · · Score: 1
    Yeah, but even still I'd hate to be the guy who got it stuck right now.

    The guy who got it stuck? It's not like it's driven by a single person. You can blame this on Asian Driver Syndrome.

  24. careful on Dune on Mars Rover Stuck in a Dune · · Score: 4, Funny

    if the rover stays in one place too long, it may be eaten by a sandworm. I hate it when sandworms eat my harvesters.

  25. Re:It can be done now on Gordon Moore: Moore's Law is Dead · · Score: 1
    what good would a system with a hundred billion neurons be other than to sit and vegetate?

    even as a veggie, it would be able to submit posts to Slashdot more intelligent than the average joe...
