  1. This is a SHOCK and a SHAME. on Colorado May Allow Cities To Provide Wifi · · Score: 5, Funny

    Public tax dollars should NEVER go to provide useful services to the people. Sounds suspiciously like communism to me. What about the poor companies? Its a slippery slope people, next thing you know the government will be picking up garbage and paving streets! Stop it now before its too late!

  2. Re:Because... on VIA Epia SP 13000 Review · · Score: 4, Informative

    A small quiet machine will most often be used as a media-computer, something to play DVD, MP3's etc etc.. Thats why. These arent going to be the killer gaming rig that conquers all.

  3. But does it run? on VIA Epia SP 13000 Review · · Score: 1, Funny

    Thats all I want to know.. does it run or does it just sit there and smolder like the server thats hosting that review? ..and does it smolder linux?

  4. Re:History in the making on Dayton, Ohio: Free City-Wide WiFi · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, that and the free porn on TV

  5. Re:How well does it do... on Preview of Intel's Dual-Core Extreme Edition · · Score: 5, Funny

    how many seconds does it take to compile the Linux kernel?

    if you press the 'turbo' button it goes twice as fast.

  6. Tin Foil hats.. on Low-Cost Simputer Fails to Win Indians' Interest · · Score: 4, Funny

    But sir, have you ever tried Dell Brand Computers(TM). They are reliable and priced just right. Thats why I recommend Dell Brand Computers(TM) to all my friends and neighbors even though the little plastic bits may start to fall off after a brief amount of time. I find Dell Brand Computers(TM) to be absolutely rock solid and reliable despite the few times that they have destroyed all of my data or spewed toxic gasses into the air. I just think everyone should know that Dell Brand Computers(TM) are absolutely fabulous and they make me horny! go buy a Dell Brand Computers(TM) now! NOW!! before they're all GONE!!

  7. Returned to life.. on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shouldn't that be ZomBe OS?

  8. Hmm. on **No Title** · · Score: 2, Insightful

    a sudden disturbance in the force..

    ..and then silenced.

  9. Don't bet on it! on Steve Jobs to Become Ikea CEO · · Score: 1

    Oh they'll buy it allright.. they'll buy it and like it

  10. Re:a special message. on Apple Hires DVD Jon · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know thats the over-all joke today, It would be funnier if it was harder to tell the joke stories from the true.. I do think they should keep up this posting rate from now on though. they've set our expectations very high on this special day.

  11. a special message. on Apple Hires DVD Jon · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

    almost sums up slashdot today huh?

  12. I know where.. on Yahoo and Google to Merge? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It has yet to be decided where the new company's headquarters will reside.

    Fantasy island?

  13. Ignorance IS bliss! on Wearing Shoes Bad For your Health? · · Score: 1

    just get these, and then dont think about it.

  14. Re:Tron Redux on Disney Plans Tron Remake · · Score: 1

    nope - here it is:

    http://www.thezreview.co.uk/comingsoon/t/tron2.sht m

    they had a script in 2003, Jeff Bridges was slated to be in it. then disney said it was happening no more. Then it came back with more scripts: http://www.countingdown.com/movies/291442/news?ite m_id=3464520

    this is probably an extension of the same project.

  15. Re:Tron Redux on Disney Plans Tron Remake · · Score: 1

    Whatever happened to Tron 2.0? I thought they we're already making that *and* the video game tie-in, but the movie was dumped.. Are they just reviving 2.0?

  16. Perpetual Employment! on Outsourcing is Good for You · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess there's none of them pesky thermodynamics laws in the world of economics huh?

  17. Re:Creativity? on Backlash as EMI Hunts Down the Grey Album · · Score: 1

    Yep, you're getting old.. All of us are, but that doesnt mean you have to close up your mind to new possibilities.

    If you program and release bugfixes / patches / new versions isn't that just an admission that you could have done it better the first time, or a money grab?

    Just curious.. when you created your own original music did you invent and build your own instruments? Or did you just rely on the creations of others?

  18. Re:Forgot One on Worst Cars Of All Time Rated · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Aww.. c'mon whats not to like about the Aztek?

    ?

    looks pretty good by this review.. "Although from the outside, the Aztek looks like an overgrown child's toy, Inside it's very claustrophobic. The driver's seat is fenced in by cup holders, change holders, penholders, and an ashtray the quickly converts into a fifth cup holder should the need arise."

  19. Buy CD's, but not from RIAA on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 1

    Just because the RIAA sucks is no reason to stop enjoying music or even buying CD's.. Just don't buy CD's from RIAA member companies.

    Check out RIAA radar to find music that doesnt fill the coffers of these thugs..

    I also just started using iRate Radio which looks very promising - it scours the web for legal MP3's and uses a peer rating system to find you music you'll like. Not to sure about how RIAA free this option is, but at least it doesn't put money into their lawyers pockets, and if you find good stuff to buy you can doublecheck it "purity" on RIAA radar.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to wash my hands of this RIAA crap and go scream at Jeff.

  20. Not Fraud! Happy Thoughts! on Nike Denied First Amendment Defense · · Score: 4, Funny

    .. Lets not be too harsh on Nike, I mean they just want to spread happy thoughts right? But If you're really concerned about footwear guilt, why not try Bliss Shoes?.. Because Ignorance is Bliss.

    Quote: Just like many low cost 'no-brand' shoes, Bliss Shoes are made by brown people in strange dirty countries. But unlike low cost shoes, ours go through a de-guilting process during the label affixing and packing stages.

  21. Oh? on Hybrid Powertrains and Hydrogen Fuel Cells · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Please oh please, whatever you do just don't make them like this

  22. Do people still use dialup? on Bandwidth Shortage And The Telephone Company · · Score: 2

    I would think that it would be in the Telcos interest to get DSL up and running everywhere. It costs more than an extra line and I would think it offers more profit to the telcos than physically going out and installing a 2nd line. Oh yeah, and it's faster. I can't imagine going back to 56K.

  23. Hooray! on Google Relists Operation Clambake · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A success story for the freedom geeks! I couldn't believe the original story when I read it.. I mean do we give people the power to remove any and all criticism from the web (or from the search engines, effectively removing it from the web.) What about the number one search result for "Chevy Avalanche Reviews".. That review is definately not positive, its downright negative. Should we ban it if it makes Chevrolet unhappy?

  24. Wow! on Conductive Concrete Offers Building Security · · Score: 3, Funny

    That unomaha site has one of the worst web designs I'ver ever seen. I guess it's not that important that scientist be designers, but readability would be a good thing to strive for. I don't need every paragraph to be a different color. Is this a side effect of too much exposure to conductive concrete?

  25. Solving the spam problem? on Spam Increases Make Things Tough For Companies · · Score: 2

    Maybe the spammers should focus on only AOL addresses since their members seem to like daily solicitation, and leave the rest of us alone!

    Maybe we should enlarge the spammers penises. There is a variety of heavy machinery that could be used to result in a much larger (but paper thin) penis. Or perhaps we should shove bottle after bottle of their "herbal Viagra" down their throats until they are unable click the 'send' button.

    'sigh' [deletes another batch of spam]
