  1. Re:Let's root for the journalist on Using Your Own Name May Be Infringement, Part 2 · · Score: 2

    The simple fact that 99% of people would not know who the fuck either Bill Wyman is without the addition of "the former Rolling Stones bassist" or "the music writer" seems to me to make the question of infringement moot.

  2. But on Sharp Unveils Glass Computer · · Score: 1

    can you make a bong out of it?

  3. Also available on Memory Stick media on Medicine for a Sick Linux Box · · Score: 1

    for those who prefer suppositories.

  4. Re:to go... on Star Trek: Nemesis Trailer to Premiere Tonight · · Score: 3, Funny
    Exactly how will Picard become more bald?

  5. Annoying sig reply on Star Trek: Nemesis Trailer to Premiere Tonight · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    "lobotomy" is spelled with 3 "Os" and no "As." Carry on.

  6. Re:equipment ? on Satellite Back From The Dead · · Score: 2
    It's simple, man. Just point your computer up.

  7. boon times for underachievers on Greenbacks No More · · Score: 2
    So now the cashier at McDonalds, after keying in your order based on pictures of food instead of those tough-to-master words, can tap, "wonder-horse" style, on a color chart to tell you how much you owe. It's surely a sign of the anti-number end times. And I suspect Tom Ridge is involved.

  8. Just like NASCAR on Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS · · Score: 3, Funny
    "If it crashes a lot, will anyone notice?"

    Rednecks only watch it for the crashes.

  9. Re:Will games be tested with wine now? on Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS · · Score: 3, Funny
    "Lindows is based on wine."

    Is this post designed to further confuse the redneck masses, who also buy their wine at Walmart?

  10. Re:What do Christians think about this? on Planetary System Similar to Sol · · Score: 1, Troll
    "What do Christians think about stories like this?"

    "Wonder if they have altar boys, too?"

  11. The planet, on Planetary System Similar to Sol · · Score: 2
    which scientists are calling "third earth," is easily recognizable by a search-light cat head projected against its atmosphere from within. The new evidence irritates radio astronomers, who had initially written off the find as a hoax when the only signal they received was some guy yelling "Ho!"

  12. Re:oh well on UCSD Students Tracking Their Friends' Locations · · Score: 2
    Are you related to the guy (or girl) who was shitting in the stacks at Vandy about ten years back?

  13. Once and for all... on ReplayTV Users Sue Hollywood · · Score: 5, Funny
    It's time-shifting, with an "f"

  14. Not just gopher on Latest IE Hole Lets Gopher Root You · · Score: 2
    IE users should also be wary of "Doc Bricker," "Cap'n. Stubing," and "Isaac the Bartender" sites. All have been routinely employed in rooting the box of one "Cruise Director Julie McCoy," despite the focus of this article on the hapless yeoman purser. Exploits over a variety of ports are known to result in all manner of wacky hilarity, including the devastating "coochie-coochie" attack of the infamous Charo bug.

    Asked to comment on the implications of this discovery for Microsoft security, Bill Gates pointed to the sky, uttered some comment about "ze plane," snapped his fingers and promptly vanished.

  15. Re:Not as easy as you'd like on Taking Issue With The Outer Space Treaty · · Score: 2
    "But then cultural trends would start pushing these colonies to band together"

    "Cultural trends" my ass! It's that damned Marvin and his bird-like goons!

  16. Dammit! on IBM Spins Down · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "All that will happen is 24,000 or so people will be freed up to do something else in our economy."

    -5 ignorant.

    "with the speed that our economy is changing, we won't even notice the flux of 24,000 jobs"

    24000 people would beg to differ, I'm sure

    "We're more well known for our R&D efforts contributing to the latest in technology."

    "We're" best known for our tremendous wealth gap, and our lovable platitude-spouting morons who insist that 24000 people losing their jobs is a good thing, and that those who lose their jobs will "get over it" and "move on" to something better.

    Your ignorant, ignominious, Limbaugh-looney bleatings betray the fact that your concept of "human capital" lacks any trace of humanity. Nice flamebait, though.

  17. Re:lame slashdot editor's comment on Napster files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy · · Score: 2
    "Defending stealing is wrong"

    Bullshit. Stealing is wrong. "Defending stealing" is free speech. "Prosecuting fair use" is wrong...

  18. Procto-compiling on SEC Settles Microsoft Accounting Investigation · · Score: 2
    "a very bugger compiler"

    Small wonder gcc's such a pain in the arse.

  19. What's the punishment under the Sharia on Copy That Floppy? Go To Jahannum (Hell) · · Score: 1
    for a theft that's not theft (e.g., the activity formerly known as "sharing")? Sever a photocopy of the perp's hands?

  20. Who's funding the research? on Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years · · Score: 2
    IIRC, Iceland has already sold every citizen's DNA to some Pinky and the Brain operation here in the US for genetic research. What are they selling to whom to cover the R&D costs of this project?

  21. Re:I can't see this ever working in the US on EU to Require Opt-In for Commercial Email · · Score: 2
    "where slashdot has NOT consented to undertake that burden."

    Hm. How much do you pay for the premium "no post or reply button" /.?

  22. To finish the thought... on Supreme Court Overturns Festo Decision · · Score: 2
    "Their primary job is to interpret laws according to the US Constitution. If that involves [disrupting] business, then that's what happens. [Protecting] business ultimately hurts ordinary people."

  23. Re:Needed Things... on Subversive Gifts for New College Students? · · Score: 3, Funny
    "One hitters" and "bongs" are perfectly legal in most jurisdictions, provided they have no illegal residue on them. Rolling papers are no good, as they leave the residue on the fingers, and who can throw away a good roach, anyway? Best bet? Glass bong and an autoclave. Or heroin.

  24. Re:The problem TV faces on PVRs and Advertisers' Worries · · Score: 2
    Coke should donate their expired sodas for embedded advertising instead of selling them in the ghetto.

  25. Re:Who cares on KaZaA Collapses · · Score: 3, Informative
    I've been waiting for the new WinMX since last August or so, when they first posted on their site (www.winmx.com) "version 3 coming soon." A PC Magazine review back in January or so indicated that verion 3 would be out "by the time you read this." Turns out version 3 was never released, so version 3.1 is now up to bat. I can't wait to get home and try it out.

    WinMX slaps the shit out of Kazaa any day of the week, for selection, for not discriminating against high-bit-rate MP3s, and for fitting on my screen in its entirety, without obnoxious lateral scrolling. Now that it has "swarm" downloading, I expect it will far surpass the old WinMX 2.6 in terms of DLer satisfaction.

    But as to the question of content available, I've always found the WinMX network to be comparable to, if not better than, Kazaa. Just my experience, but I'd suggest that it's worth a try.
