  1. Re:I'll take a Number 6 please. on Battlestar Galactica Props Are For Sale · · Score: 1

    They will sell a number six, but without the fleshy bits.

  2. Or?? on Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry · · Score: 1, Troll

    Is it because iphone users are more careful with the iphone, not wanting to break their purchase, or use it out of fear of breaking, or use it because it would involve removing it from its shrine?

  3. Re:Smart kid on Good Cross-Platform Speech-Recognition Programs? · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you're a grad student in the sciences and write "build in" instead of "built-in".

    Don't rag on him, it was his software. He originally said "included."

  4. Re:Portable Furnace on Toshiba Launches Laptop With Three GPUs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does it come with its own fire extinguisher?

    Actually no. But you can get that at the Autozone when you go to pick up the car battery you'll need.

  5. Re:hardly news... on New Type of Particle May Have Been Found · · Score: 1

    Yes but they used a "beam pipe" not a "Peep pipe."

  6. Re:Just imagine what could be there on Cassini Could Find Signs of Life on Enceladus · · Score: 1

    With all the weird things we find on Earth, I wonder what could be in that water?

    Trash? Wrappers?

  7. Re:When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor on Anonymous Anger Rampant On the Web · · Score: 1

    I agree. What this calls for is a really stupid and futile gesture on somebody's part.

    Like a boycott??

  8. Re:Why not money orders? on Fraud Threat Halts Knuth's Hexadecimal-Dollar Checks · · Score: 1

    He's semi-retired. I bet he would rather spend his time finishing his books than spending a bunch of time running to the post office. But even then, I can't help but wonder if Knuth had a 401k that lost X^2+Y....

  9. Re:Optical + Silicon + The Internet is for...? on Optical Fiber With a Silicon Core · · Score: 1

    This is slashdot. We are not so much interested in a silicon core as much as a caramel nougat core.

  10. Re:what the hell is IDA on The IDA Pro Book · · Score: 2

    It sure would be nice if "IDA" were defined somewhere in the lead blurb.

    And I suppose you don't have a collectiom of Star War/Trek toys either?? Or never played D&D - do you know what D&D is even?? Really, I don't know what brings you to slashdot. Please turn in your nerd card at the door as you leave. kthx.

  11. Re:Implied Conversation on Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All · · Score: 1

    Dang! you caught me. But a revisionist has always gotta try...

  12. Re:Stop it. on NASA Orbiter Reveals Details of a Moister Mars · · Score: 1

    Find me a fossil and then we'll talk.

    Finding a moist, chocolaty nougat, is the same as finding life.

  13. Implied Conversation on Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bush: Hank, we still need to get gas down below $2.79. The economies are tough. What can we do?
    Palson: Mr. President, I'm with you on this. As you know, we are having severe margin calls with some of the investment banks. Rather than save a Wall Street's CEO's ass like we did with Bear Stearns and AIG we could just let them fry in the hot sun. The public hates them anyway. Let's see, overnight accounting data shows that Lehman Brothers is close to the edge. I won't do anything and let them slip into the beyond.
    Bush: Hank, I knew I got the right man for the job. Bit what does this do with oil?
    Paulson: This will be a real kick in the pants to the arabs. The commodities bubble will deflate like the Hindenburg. They won't be able to give the stuff away. All this "peak oil" talk will be shown for the scam that it is
    Bush: Sounds great Hank. What could go wrong?
    Paulson: Nothing really. A week later everyone will forget Lehman Brothers even existed.

  14. Re:Upgrade on Hubble Repairs Hindered By Antiquated Computer Systems · · Score: 1

    Why upgrade?? They just need to slap a copy of BSD on it. BSD runs great on a 486.

  15. Should it be asked? on Google Founders Buy Fighter Jet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are these guys Yahoos??

  16. Obvious on Linux Kernel Surpasses 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    This raises the question - will Linus run out of magic powder?

  17. Re:Looking at the pictures.. on First Official Photos From New Star Trek Movie · · Score: 1

    leaves me wondering why they put a kid in charge of a space ship...

    Because they demand a less salary??

  18. Yes on Single Neuron Wired To Muscle Un-Paralyzes Monkeys · · Score: 4, Funny

    But can you teach them to type??

  19. Re:The angriest-looking car in the world... on People Prefer Angry-Faced Cars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here's the same car on a better day

  20. Re:I'm sure they can borrow a "1" from a gas stati on National Debt Clock Overflowed, Extended By a Digit · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they can borrow a "1" from a gas station.

    Actually I was thinking that they could put a glass window in the sign and have Ron Paul stand in for the "1".

  21. Wait on Landing IT Work Overseas · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I wanted to be in a third world economy, shouldn't I stay at home??

  22. Rawhide on Virtual Fence Could Modernize the Old West · · Score: 1

    I call dibbs on the patent that interfaces to the cows to allow internet operation.

    Keep movin', movin', movin',
    Though they're disapprovin',
    Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!

    Move 'em on, head 'em up,
    Head 'em up, move 'em out,
    Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!

  23. Matrix Me on Mimicking Electric Eel Cells · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I have a better idea - we can use human cells to generate an electrical current.

  24. Quite Franky on Will ParanoidLinux Protect the Truly Paranoid? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This slashdot story was posted to get us to use Paranoid Linux, which can only mean that some one planted a backdoor in it.

  25. Re:He's still kicking! on Fossett's Plane Found · · Score: 1

    Kicking as in "cryptmaster kicking" or just "zombie kicking" ??
