  1. Re:Insert obligatory Steve B. quote here on Microsoft Cancels Major Developers' Conference · · Score: 1

    Actually they had to cancel the conference because they couldn't 'squirt' it.

  2. Re:and 10,000 OSS developers.... on Microsoft Cancels Major Developers' Conference · · Score: 1

    individual version of a ground-breaking text editor

    They're re-doing notepad???

  3. Strengthening?? on New Copyright Alliance Formed In D.C. · · Score: 1

    Outside of executing copyright infringers, how can copyright law be made 'stronger'. Mandatory brain implants maybe? Both??

  4. Re:Can I buy either one of these? on Intel Laptop Competes With One Laptop Per Child · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can I buy either one of these?

    You will have to take your place in line, as the One Laptop Per Nerd program hasn't quite started yet.

  5. Re:spreading the truth on Genetic Marker For Aggressive Prostate Cancer · · Score: 1

    You see, that's interesting, because I had always assumed it had some relation to markers at g04t53

    You are thinking of the marker responsible for the onset of sudden eye distress, which often causes the gene at location 09f9 to switch on and offer some relief.

  6. Re:A bit pricey on Optimus Keyboard Pre-Orders In Mere Hours · · Score: 1

    At $1564 USD, the price is a bit steep for most of us

    I'm in, as long as it comes with a free copy of Duke Nukem Forever.

  7. One question on The HP Way 2.0 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean that HP will start filling their ink-jet cartridges all the way now??

  8. What, a good attorney?? on Netflix Sued Over Fradulently Obtained Patents · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Sounds like a real standup attorney. He must have taken his viagra.

  9. Re:Truly A Miracle on Modern Medicine Might Have Saved Lincoln · · Score: 1

    More importamtly, could he get elected again wearing that stovepipe hat of his?

  10. Re:The IETF screwed the pooch on this one on IPv6 Flaw Could Greatly Amplify DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt the IETF will ever be able to exercise these people from it's midst.

    I agree. I suggest we find Richard Simmons. He can exorcise anybody.

  11. Re:Space. The final frontier. on Mission Could Seek Out Spock's Home Planet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Her five year mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisation.

    Using today's technology, 1,000,000 year mission (roundtrip).

    If you don't run out of food.

  12. Re:No, it doesn't on Final Season of Battlestar Galactica Confirmed · · Score: 1

    This is the problem I have with the present day cylons. They are too human. Sure they threw in some brain dead toasters with guns for hands for continuity, and the human form cylons glow red in certain circumstances, but they really needed to be more machine like.

    I really needed to see their head crack open and a circuit board pop out. Otherwise it gives credence to theories like your's.

  13. Re:vicious - ouch! on Final Season of Battlestar Galactica Confirmed · · Score: 1

    So even more shakiness used for shakey-cam? *sigh

    It's going to be worse than that. One word: "spacecycles".

  14. Needs to be said on Could Global Warming Make Life on Earth Better? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That talk like this will make Al Gore hot, but not in the sexy way.

  15. Re:Way around... on Vonage May Have Way Around Patent Disputes · · Score: 1

    The could just tape a speaker to a phone, unless at&t has a patent on that too.

    Well there's always two cans and a string. Unless some kid has a patent on that too.

  16. hmm on Is Paying Hackers Good for Business? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    why business treats security research like a big money TV game show

    Maybe because the bugs they find are "showstoppers"?

  17. Re:Videocast? on Microsoft is Screwing Up Live on Vista · · Score: 1

    When I first saw this, I thought it was a videocast: "Watch MS screw up LIVE!!"

    And when I first saw this, I thought it was "Microsoft screwing up people's lives with Vista."

  18. In other words on The Human Mutation · · Score: 3, Funny

    We're all mutants? That can't be good...

  19. Re:A few years late, but.... on Warner Brothers Pulls Canadian Previews · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...it seems like everything's gone wrong since Canada came along!

    I think that it's high time that we stop this tyranny, protect the movie studios, and invade Canada.

    I see no alternative.

  20. conclusion on Europe's Galileo Program In Serious Trouble · · Score: 1

    In Europe, Amerika navigates YOU!

  21. Only nerds understand URLs on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 1

    Beyond that, many credit unions would have a hard time swallowing/using the "bank" tld.

  22. Needs to be said on Australian Extradited For Breaking US Law At Home · · Score: 4, Informative

    Others, however, argue that extradition is necessary to prevent internet crimes that transcend borders.

    But yet nothing is done to catch the 419 scammers and all the spammers selling (often fake) pharmaceuticals.

  23. Re:Don't let me get in the way... on Bill Gates' Management Style · · Score: 1

    I think that it is quite a long stretch between "I know better" and "that's the dumbest f--k--g idea that I've heard..."

    Really, two different statements entirely.

  24. Re:This is definitely true, Revelations inside on Microsoft, Best Buy Face Racketeering Suit · · Score: 1

    See? It's easy to make up some story, post it anonymously and pretend it's true.

    The problem is that Best Buy has managed to successfully summon the devil on multiple occasions beforehand, giving credence to parent post.

  25. Re:AMD64 on Vista Eating Battery Life · · Score: 1

    reading Slashdot can give you a biased view of the real world.

    Nooo! Surely you jest!
