  1. Voices in my head on Armadillo Rocket Makes A (Short) Manned Hop · · Score: 3, Funny

    While trying to visit the website, I keep hearing the Quake 3 voice in my head saying, "Denied".

  2. Re:It wasn't the physical requirements.. on Many Hackers Too Fat For The FBI · · Score: 1

    OK, This question really interests me. I myself can say no to every single one of those questions. I also know quite a few people who can also say the same. I'm on the other side of the fence than you thinking, "Are there really that many people who can't answer no to all of these questions?"

  3. I want that job! on Internet-enabled Robot to Mow Lawns · · Score: 1
    "What our technology allows us to do is to control lawnmowers and other robotic devices while people are away at work," Massey University's Glen Bright told Reuters.
    It looks like they also are selling the service to mow your lawn with this thing while you're away. I wonder how many unemployeed geeks could go work for this company and mow lawns for a living. I never thought I'd want to mow lawns for a living, but if I can telecommute, that's all good.
  4. I have a Rio 600... on Portable MP3 Player w/ Unix Support? · · Score: 1

    ..and I don't like it. I got it back when the default memory it came with was 32 megs. I think it comes with 64 now. 32 is not nearly enough for me to even mow my lawn without hearing a repeat. I could probably buy more memory backpacks for it, but dang, they're expensive!

    I also don't like how it drains my battery when it's turned off. I put a fresh battery in, use it for 15 minutes, then next week when I go to mow my lawn again, I have to replace the battery. I've started taking the battery out when I'm not using it.

    The headphones that came with it are designed to save battery life, and they aren't designed for quality sound. I might as well be singing to myself.

    Oh well, it was a gift. I'm glad I didn't pay money for it... But now that I think about it, my wife was the one who gave it to me, and she used my money to pay for it.. Son of a...

  5. HTTP_REFERER on "Deep Linking" Controversy Renewed in Texas · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This is stupid. Instead of wasting time and money going through the legal system, how hard is it to just check the HTTP_REFERER and anything that doesn't come from your own site, send back a location: header and forward them to your own homepage?

  6. Re:Pfff...."post human" on The Next Generation · · Score: 1

    Maybe not. The RIAA might have more control over your mic-in ear volume that you do.. You can't be listening to that copyrighted stuff you know. If you're a cyborg, all you have to do is hear it once and you'll be able to pull a freshly burned audio CD out of your ass.

  7. Re:I've surfed it all! on Web Surfing Losing Its Luster · · Score: 1

    While watching that commercial, my wife blurts out, "Man, that guy must have looked at a lot of porn! What a sicko!". Now everytime I see it, I can't stop laughing knowing that he's a perv.

  8. I've always wanted... on Self-Warming Jackets · · Score: 1

    ...a self-warming toilet seat.

  9. Could Mono Kill a Gnome? on Could Mono Kill Gnome? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I once got pretty sick from Mono, I would guess it could kill somebody pretty small like a Gnome.

  10. Re:The biggest news? on Slashback: Switchover, EULA, Perspectives · · Score: 1

    You need an update? It's valentines day, and he just proposed. Just use your imagination about what they're doing right now...

    If you guys come up for air long enough to read this, congratulations Rob and Kathleen. :)

    (They're patching their kernels, you pervert.)

  11. Re:Intel naming. on Intel's Answer to AMD's Hammer - Yamhill · · Score: 1

    That explains all those comments from that Anonymous Coward guy.. His drinking water is contaminated.

  12. Dang on No Red Hat-AOL Merger In The Works, Says CNET · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was hoping to get a million red hat cd's in the mail.

  13. Re:Well, my setup isn't THAT impressive... on Christmas is Coming · · Score: 1

    How about this?

    Same kind of setup. I can also do voice-recognition activation via telephone.

    You can try it by calling:
    1-800-303-9987
    pin # 130061

  14. Sucky Patch.. on Uber-patch for Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    So I installed the patch and have noticed a LOT more IE crashes afterwards.. Nice..

  15. One reason why.. on Fighting the Scourge of Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    To escape reality.

  16. A cheaper solution.. on Linux-Based Audiophile CD Archival System · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just listen to your music A LOT louder. Eventually, you won't be able to tell the difference between compressed and non compressed. Worked for me!

  17. what about a beowulf cluster of these? on Scientists build DNA based computer · · Score: 2, Funny

    oh wait, I guess that's what I am.

  18. I think that's a great idea. on Bush Wants an Unhackable Private Network · · Score: 1

    They will probably start from the ground up. They probably will create a lot new technology on the way which will in turn be useful for us. Just like the space program.

  19. I switched from dsl to modem.. on Slashback: HETE, HP, Regression · · Score: 3, Funny

    .. because I had to. My line provider went bankrupt. How often has that happened lately?

  20. Re:Art and Engineering on 12-volt Plexiglass Computer · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing that somewhere.. I yes, Here.

  21. I use it on WAP Bashing · · Score: 1

    I use it all the time.. mostly to get my slashdot fix and check my email.. but slashdot wml generator is a buggy piece of garbage that usually returns content that's not to the standard and my phone can't display it.. Maybe I'll have to rewrite it for them. :)

  22. NATO Article V on More On Tragedy · · Score: 1
  23. Re:I'll Tell You Why on Open Source - Why Do We Do It? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say we were cheap bastards.. More like resourceful.

  24. Why I do it... on Open Source - Why Do We Do It? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I like getting email almost every day from people thanking me that I saved them so many weeks worth of work and that they appreciate what I've done. I like the attention. I like the community.

  25. Fires In Utah.. on Fighting Fire From the Sky · · Score: 1

    I live in Utah in a place were we're basically in a basin surrounded by mountains. We have fires all summer every year. Sometimes, if they're big enough they fill the whole valley up with smoke. It's pretty hard on the lungs. Some more fire control around here would be good. Our firefighters are burned out. But having some controlled burns would be good as well. That takes man power. On the flipside, in winter, all the exhaust from the cars fill up the place.
