  1. BFD on Yahoo Launches Dashboard · · Score: 1

    Steve Ballmer launches chairs.

    I tried to RTFA, but it made absolutely no sense, except the part about correcting pronunciation of some dude's name. I don't know if that's because it's late on a Friday afternoon, or there is really nothing at all to the article or the product launch, but I suspect it's a little from column "A" and a little from column "B." Call me when this stupid konfabulation thingie can make me a fucking ham sammich.

  2. Re:Girl gamers? on Technology-Based Social Change · · Score: 1

    "and demand being taken and such"

    *muffledgiggles*

  3. Nobody crying for the bug man Delay? on Senate Fails To Reauthorize Patriot Act Provisions · · Score: 1

    Nobody but the fucking Chimp-in-Charge himself...

    "Bush said, 'Yes, I do' when asked if he believes DeLay is innocent. And he said he hopes that DeLay will return to his leadership post."

    Prejudicial remarks from the White House? Nixon got reamed for prejudicial remarks. But then that was back when the US had a functional news media.

  4. Re:*sigh* gravity generators on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 1

    Duh! We're in the early stages of development. Right now we can only *add* gravity. Reducing gravity is the next (ahem) logical step. ;-)

  5. That is not true re: voter registration on EFF Sues NC Election Board · · Score: 1

    in NC. We can register "Republican" "Democrat" or "Unaffiliated." "Unaffiliated" is not "Independent," which is its own political party. A voter who is registered "unaffiliated" selects his or her primary ballot - R, D, or U. All the non-R and non-D candidates are on the U primary ballot.

  6. Re:In other news on Merck's Deleted Data · · Score: 1

    yet only one unwisely invaded without provocation to decisively prove himself wrong on the issue...

  7. obligatory on Merck's Deleted Data · · Score: 3, Funny

    $sys$data_unfavorable_to_merck

  8. I think the preferred liver-cleansing on Caffeine Prevents Liver Disease · · Score: 1

    route of administration for coffee is not oral... something about the rectum having a direct vascular subpathway to the liver for transporting all that cleansing caffeiney goodness...

    Just be sure to cool it to roughly body temperature first. ;-)

  9. I, for one, on ICANN Plays Down U.S. Influence · · Score: 1

    would not so much welcome our new hafta-use-charmap-to-enter-a-URL TLD overlords...

  10. Re:pr0n is TRASH on .xxx Domain Remains in Limbo · · Score: 1

    "Forcing pornography to be distributed to communities that don't want it"

    Your community can have my community's copy of "Submissive Subdivisions" when it pries it from our sloppy, wet cul de sac. :P

  11. Re:In other news... on Possible Love Molecule? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "inability to pronounce the consonants /l/ or /r/"

    No fuggin' WAY! Falling in love turns you Japanese and British???

  12. Re:*Groan* on Google and Time Warner Telecom - VoIP Partners? · · Score: 1

    False advertising has to be the least of their legal worries. I was too bashful to click through to view their "Great deals on Dirty Goth Hotties," but I can't imagine that's legal outside of Nevada...

  13. "Fastest" I will grant them. on Blazing Dual Channel Thumb Drive · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Sleekest," though? It looks like every other usb flash drive. Maybe if they mounted a spoiler on it, or added some racing stripes. Or speed holes. Speed holes make everything sleeker.

  14. Re:Selling The Hook on Microsoft Loses $126 Per Unit on XBox 360 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am slightly amused at the concept of heroin dealers distributing syringes freely in hopes that people will come back to them for the drug. Or the neighborhood "greengrocer" handing out free bongs so people will come to him for something to put in them.

    BTW - hello Sweden! I'm a big fan of your bikini team. ;-)

  15. Re:Yet another dup... on The 11 Year Soap Bubble · · Score: 1

    In my youth "vaguely rifle-shaped stick" was always a winner, too.

  16. Technically, the first English colony was in NC. on Darwin Evolving Into A Tricky Exhibit · · Score: 1

    However, it vanished without a trace. Which is why it's called "the lost colony."

  17. Re:Hyper Threading? on HTPC 4-Way Enclosure Roundup · · Score: 1

    Or Hyper Transport, or Home Theater, or... anyone else read "4-way" and think kinky pr0n?

  18. Re:Leverage? on The Real Reason Behind iTMS Tiered Pricing · · Score: 1

    Strange rules of economics... like the ones thay say if you put a certain name on a label on your clothing, people will pay twice as much for it. This is also applicable in the realm of /., where people will pay a premium for things like low-latency memory even if it has no discernable impact on the performance of a machine. Do not forget that the target market for the music industry is one in which perceived "cool factor" outweighs rational purchase decisions frequently.

  19. Like Mr. Smithers says... on Turner Testing Holographic Storage · · Score: 0

    Ted Turner's just a hologram. ;-)

  20. being born causes death on Drink Decaf and Die · · Score: 1

    but being "born again" only causes brain death. ;-)

  21. of course! on Literature Teeters on the Edge of a 'Gr8 Fall' · · Score: 3, Funny

    "brevity is... wit." ;-)

  22. Re:Maybe a problem on Truckers Choose Hydrogen Power · · Score: 1

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... undetectable pollution...

  23. YOU ARE IN A DENSE DARK DAMP JUNGLE. on Loyalists Preserve Past Through Text-Only Games · · Score: 1

    Ah... the joys of saving one's game to a blank cassette tape.

  24. Re:This is the kind of info I come to Slashdot for on Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe. What are you wearing? ;-)

  25. Re:A Natural Rights perspective on Trojan Using Sony DRM Rootkit Spotted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A natural right to private property??? No. This is a LEGAL right - an artificial construct of an organized society. Interesting post all around. You had me right up until you said "irregardless."
