  1. Hey sounds great on Cheap Paint-able Solar Cells Developed · · Score: 3, Funny

    I knew that they would come up with cheap paintable solar cells. I'll pick them up in my flying car.

  2. Re:The writing's been on the wall... on Checkers Solved, Unbeatable Database Created · · Score: 3, Informative

    For those that are interested, I think the parent is referring to Chess960.

  3. Re:I'm disappointed. on Magnetic Wobbles Cause Hard Drive Failure · · Score: 1

    Well this article isn't funny because hard drives don't really fail because of wobble. They fail because Balmer throws them.

  4. Re:Wait, what?! on New X-Files Movie · · Score: 1

    Ok, so if the 2nd movie will be staying away from the "tortured mythology" of the series and the first movie.... how is it an X-Files movie? What I think they mean is they won't bring back smoking man and have him take another missile up the mouth.
  5. Re:An other example of GPL3 suckyness on Microsoft Excludes GPLv3 From Linspire Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    just a little bit become open source friendly then the rules change.

    I think the rules changed when Microsoft (or the companies before them) started shaking down everyone with their patent portfolio. I would be more willing to take your side if Microsoft had the courtesy to tell everyone what patents linux was violating. As it stands, Microsoft is the king of suck, and I do not see this zebra changing it's stripes anytime soon.

  6. Re:My experience on Does Comcast Hate Firefox? · · Score: 1

    well the problem with your scenario is that the comcast zombies in my area *no longer support win 98*. Also for some reason they use the mac off the machine connected instead of just the modem. I keep a dirty windows box around specifically so I don't have to hassle with clueless comcast.

  7. Re:Damn straight! on Forget Math to Become a Great Computer Scientist? · · Score: 4, Funny

    No maths means more girls. Hey, I'm all for it.

  8. Yet another loser nerd pickup line on Researchers Claim Pheromones Trigger Brain Cell Growth · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah baby! Do you wanna smell my underarm??

  9. Re:QUICK ! on Bill Gates Drops To Number 2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Luckily he does not need to rely on Vista sales. He just needs to dig the loose change out of the couch and he would be #1 again.

  10. Re:The future is here on FSF Rattles Tivo Saber At Apple · · Score: 1

    Does that mean the FSF will start sueing the Beatles as well? Hippies suing other hippies? Doubtful.

  12. Re:This is a national conspiracy on iPhone Doesn't Surf Fast Enough for Jobs · · Score: 1

    More retarded than all the iphone hype?? nah, I doubt it.

  13. This is a national conspiracy on iPhone Doesn't Surf Fast Enough for Jobs · · Score: 1

    Around Christmastime last year

    Mary Cheney: Dad, you look so sad, it's Christmas! You should be happy! What's wrong??

    Dick Cheney: Well Mary, I'm having a hard time holding things together. My boss is a halfwit, nobody understands me, the press is relentless, and things might come unravelled if people start asking for emails. On top of that Michael Moore is coming out with a film that could hurt all of our big pharma stocks. I don't know what to do. *sigh*

    Mary Cheney: I have lots of connections in SanFrancisco. Lemme see what I can do.

    Right after New Years

    Steve Jobs(phone):Hello Mary. Nice to hear from you. It's been a while - the artist's benefit for street muscicians I believe?? Anyway, what can I do you for?

    Mary Cheney(phone): Well my dad is having a hard time of it. I know that you don't see eye to eye with him on politics. But I need help. I need get all the rabid press off my dad's back. The only ones who give half a shit is Fox News. He has a bad heart, you know. Plus Michael Moore is coming out with this horrible film that's a pack of lies.

    Steve(phone): You're right Mary. I am not on the same page as your father. But I do have a lot of pharma stock myself. When is Moore's film due out? June 29? I have been tossing around an ipod plus phone product for a while. I'm calling it the "iphone." I will announce it next week. It will be huge. So huge that it will eclipse the sun! People will be selling the empty box on ebay for hundreds! No one will see any bad news reporting on your dad because the news will either be about the iphone or people will be in line to get the iphone. And they will be either too tired to go to that stupid Michael Moore movie or they will be too busy playing with the phone to even bother with life let alone go to the movie. And those that don't have the iphone will be trying to buy empty boxes on ebay! Nothing to worry Mary. It'll be like a national holiday away from all the problems!!

    Mary(phone): Brilliant! Thank you Steve! You're wonderful! I love you! But like a friend kind of love...

  14. Re:Slow news day? on Red Hat CEO Talked Patents with MS · · Score: 4, Funny

    Slashdot has now become the place to post hypothetical questions just for discussion on the main page? It's Microsoft's fault, not slashdot's. They're the ones with the hypothetical patents.
  15. Re:their website on How-Not-to-Hire-U.S.-Workers Law Firm Fires Back · · Score: 1

    Call them up and express your displeasure...

    Telling a crook they are wrong rarely works for me. It would make more sense to complain to their bar;

  16. Re:The real reason they are changing it on Perfect Silicon Sphere to Redefine the Kilogram · · Score: 1

    Actually the real reason they are changing it is so the kilogram can have balls.

  17. I think that this is good to on Linus Warms (Slightly) to GPL3 · · Score: 1

    That the warning is slight.

  18. Re:Sounds like.... on The Sopranos Ends With a ... · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they got the Seinfeld writers to come out of retirement to do the series finale episode.

    If that would have been the case, everybody would have least ended up in jail.

  19. Re:Anyone else have to look up Orkut? on Indian Nationalists Forcibly Censor Orkut · · Score: 1

    MySpace and all of its clones are an evil that must be stopped by any means necessary.

    Before we get it shut down, maybe somebody could post a link of some cute Hindu girl haterz showing some ankle.

  20. Re:JPL's original pictures on "Puddles" of Water Sighted on Mars · · Score: 1

    Can anyone explain how they came up with the bluish hue in the composite picture

  21. Re:The Pirate Bay on TorrentSpy Ordered By Judge to Become MPAA Spy · · Score: 1

    regardless of how we may feel about it, you can't turn back time.

  25. Re:I Don't Doubt the Story... on Fan Fiction Writers Balk at FanLib.com · · Score: 1

    My brain hit a speedbump when I saw that quote. Women writing Star Trek fanfic?? I never met any at the Star Trek cons back in the seventies. In fact, I never saw any women at the conventions.

    Come to think about it, I never saw them camping out for the Star Wars movies either. Where are they?? A million nerds want to know.
