  1. Quoth the robot, on Google 'Toilet ISP' Gag Not Without Precedent · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Why? Why was I programmed to smell feces?!"

  2. You know... on Star Trek "DeMastered" Video Service to Launch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This story might have gotten me if it had been Star Wars instead. This sounds like an idea birthed in the depths of Lucas' infernal mind.

  3. The only video you need for this story: on WiiHelms Go on Sale · · Score: 2, Informative
  4. Eh on Postgres Engine for MySQL Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    5.1 is old. Wake me up when they've got a true 7.1 setup available.

  5. Re:I put on my robe and tinfoil wizard hat. on Blizzard Adds Tinfoil Hat to Solve Armory Complaints · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    You have to scream more loudly than that if I'm to have any hope of maintaining the structural integrity of my wizard's staff.

  6. I put on my robe and tinfoil wizard hat. on Blizzard Adds Tinfoil Hat to Solve Armory Complaints · · Score: 5, Funny

    And cast +5, Insightful.

  7. Mod me down. on Wireless Power Now A Reality · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I think Air Supply said it best:

    I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
    I know you were right believing for so long
    I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
    I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

  8. Re:Kart Racing on Most Impressive Game AI? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm just glad I'm not the only person Mario Kart's cheating AI infuriated.

    Back in my greener days, I lost a few SNES controllers to a perfectly tossed egg from Yoshi on Rainbow road. That motherfucker.

  9. Re:What? Enviornmentalists go overboard? on Wildlife Deputy Changed Science For Lobbyists · · Score: 1

    Well it certainly seems to prove most anonymous cowards are big fans of straw man arguments.

  10. Great. on Russian School Teacher 'Pirate' Case Re-Opened · · Score: 3, Funny

    Obviously, Russian prosecutors have no appreciation for the consequences of their actions.

    One less pirate, one step closer to our inevitable demise due to global warming.

  11. Re:The door swings both ways... on Students Sue Anti-Plagiarism Service · · Score: 1

    Obvious red herring logical fallacy.

    The students attitudes towards and activities involving copyright infringement have absolutely no bearing on their legal right to sue to protect their own copyrighted work.

  12. Someone please educate me. on Sony May Be Planning 80GB PS3 · · Score: 1

    Currently, most HD manufacturers seem to be making single platters hold well more than 100 gigs per, so my question is if (and if so, how?) Sony saves any money using a 60 gig HD (or 80) versus most anything else as long as they stick with a single-platter HD?

  13. Re:like google on Microsoft to Buy DoubleClick? · · Score: 1

    As much as you love to make fun of those "conservative bastards" who love guns, who besides them is going to come to your defense when your right to do anything you can think of makes it onto the controlling party's "bad list?"

  14. Stupid. on Scientists Powering Batteries with Soda, Tree Sap · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If people are bothering to create batteries run off food, why would they pick one of the least energy dense macronutrients?

    At 9 kilocalories per gram to carbs' 4, fats kick the crap out of carbohydrates with regard to energy density. Strikes me as odd.

  15. Welllllll on Some Dinosaurs Made Underground Dens · · Score: 5, Funny

    if the dinosaurs were so smart, how come they're dead?

  16. Sign me up. on Single Gene Gives Mice Three-Color Vision · · Score: 1

    I'm in for some gene therapy that would let me see into the UV and infra-red spectrums.

    How long until parent groups organize to save all the poor unmodified kids who can no longer compete in hide and seek though?

  17. Re:I don't understand this facination with FSB spe on High Performance DDR2 Memory Breaks 1.25GHz · · Score: 1

    Gotcha. I was just confused on the 15% number, as I'm one hell of a poor man's EE. In that I'm not an EE at all.

  18. Re:I don't understand this facination with FSB spe on High Performance DDR2 Memory Breaks 1.25GHz · · Score: 1

    Excluding situations in which you might be loading a new program and/or data specifically from the hard drive, wouldn't doubling the speed of the ram technically double the speed of all of your (L1 and 2) cache misses? (Of course this also assumes you have significant amounts of ram, such that nothing is loaded into virtual memory blah blah)

  19. Re:It's all about spin. on Many Americans Still Don't Have Home Net Access · · Score: 1

    Same with moderators.

  20. It's all about spin. on Many Americans Still Don't Have Home Net Access · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In other news, it was reported today that a significant segment of the US population remains immune to an onslaught of spam, phishing attacks, and viruses, all by avoiding a connection to the dubiously beneficial "internet" everyone keeps squawking about.

  21. Re:Assumptions, not beliefs on Ten Dangerous Beliefs About Smart Phones · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, BarrettAnderson, my old foe. I thought you might be behind these spammed poll links.

  22. Re:I don't see the problem. on Maker of Anti-Clinton Video Outed, Loses Job · · Score: 1

    Not that Communism or Socialism will be viable until we find ways to significantly change human nature.

  23. They generate a billion in revenue. on Virtual Worlds Are Worth 1 Billion Dollars · · Score: 1

    They're only worth what someone will pay for one.

    But don't let that get in the way of sensationalist headlines.

  24. IT professionals need to grow some balls. on How to Stop the Dilbertization of IT? · · Score: 1

    If your job sucks, quit.

    Every IT pro out there who does nothing about this situation beyond bitch about it on Slashdot isn't going to accomplish anything, and the only thing management will understand is not having enough workers to meet deadlines and an inability to hire replacements because of its reputation.

    You can throw a million excuses at me, but the fact of the matter is that as long as workers passively sit there and take it, nothing will change.

  25. Irony. on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 1

    It's time mother nature died from exposure. She's taken enough people in the same fashion!
