  1. Re:Final show appalling? on Can Sci-Fi Fans Face the Future? · · Score: 1

    The final episode is ... appalling."

    In other words, extensive use of time travel and new weapons that solve all previous plot problems.

  2. They're only small stars on Star Smaller Than Some Planets Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    until the Oscar awards.

    Thank you, I'm here all week.

  3. Re:Whoa on SCO On the Rocks · · Score: 1

    He was completely positive saying that (parapharasing) "things looks so good for us right now but if you read the press, you'd think we were a sinking ship"

    Tell your friend not to drink the kool-aid.

  4. The Viola story on Retrial Slated for Microsoft v. Eolas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The author Pei Wei tells his story of the Eolas patent here and how prior art was suppressed.

    Maybe if knowingly withholding prior art was a federal crime this would not have happenned.

  5. Re:Once again.. on Interview With The SpamAssassin · · Score: 1

    When they start spamming "Linux IPF Apache LOOK! Vi@GR@ makes your peNi$ PHP Bug CSS" I will be concerned

    Thanks for telling the world that.

  6. Riiight on True.com Wants Warnings On Personal Ads · · Score: 3, Funny

    even Slashdot would need to include the warnings above user profile pages

    There is no dating on slashdot, and the only thing people are going to get here is "carpal tunnel" from too much "wrist action."

    If you do have a girl, go away, we don't like you.

  7. Re:Light At The End of the Tunnel? on Microsoft WMV In Patent Trouble? · · Score: 1

    Actually its 20 years from date of patent application. So its 1985 or earlier. The real patent landgrabbing didn't start to hit until the mid 90s.

  8. Re: Name submission... on Astronomers Find Star-Less Galaxy · · Score: 1

    However I still dirty from looking at it.

  9. The debate continues on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 0, Troll

    from the article; "The debate about whether there is a global warming signal now is over, at least for rational people," said Tim Barnett

    So I guess that means that the debate continues for president Bush.

  10. Re:"Tech Oscars"? on Tech Oscars Awarded · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the awards be called the 'Geekies' or 'Nerdies' or something?

    No, it should be called "We are not going to let you anywhere near a hot movie actress so you get your own show" ceremony.

  11. Re:This is a travesty on ACM to Honor TCP/IP Creators with Turing Award · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I demand a recount!

    We can not let Bush get away with this!

  12. Re:Cost ? on Night Vision Scope From Scavenged Parts · · Score: 1

    Do you constantly retread the MC ads because you work for them

    Yes, and I am in the process of reviewing your account wiht us now. I find that an increase in your APR is justified for needlessly disclosing this conspiracy.

    Regards,

    Matercard Acct Dept.

  13. Re:Cost ? on Night Vision Scope From Scavenged Parts · · Score: 3, Funny

    Image intesifier: $27
    Cost of multiple trips to the laundromat after dumpster diving: $35

    Being able to see in the dark after 3,000 volt electric shock: priceless.

  14. Re:that's nice on Web-Only Album Wins Grammy · · Score: 3, Funny

    This would be more exciting if anyone at all cared about the grammys.

    Better ceremony: "The Torrents"

  15. Re:Slashdot Needs a New Feature on Public Park Designated Copyrighted Space · · Score: 1

    We need a new feature on Slashdot. For each news story, there should be a "scream in horror, pain, and disgust" button

    Not a bad idea because we know already slashdot readers are incapable of getting off their ass and doing anything.

    yeah, I know I'm gonaa be modded -1 blah blah magic.

  16. Re:How about this instead? on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1

    Never much cared for Enterprise, but if anyone wants to bring back the Andy Griffith Show for another season, I'd surely watch that...

    Silly, Andy Griffith has already been back to outer space

  17. Re:I have an idea on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 4, Funny

    How about covering the hull of the enterprise in ads like a formula 1 race car?

    That would be too obvious. Instead they could have product placement by having products mysteriously warp into the future and appear on Archer's desk.

  18. Re:Add on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1

    The entire open source community could hardly gather money for the Firefox add in 3(?) months, but a few Star Trek fans gather for an LA Times add in 2(?) weeks?

    That's because Firefox doesn't suck.

  19. Not a problem, really on Microsoft: The Faint Smell of Rot · · Score: 4, Funny

    Microsoft will just buy Glade, the company that makes plug-in air fresheners.

    Your computer will emit a little wisp of air freshener the mext time you smell a hint of rot.

    You will actually look forward to seeing Clippy...

  20. The bad part on House Approves Electronic ID Cards · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The bad part is not so much the ID card.

    The bad part is the connection that will be made when a commercial entity needs your drivers license for one reason another, scans it, and it enters a commercial database where it will be crossed linked to other databases.

    Airlines, insurance comapnies, grocery stores (for the new shopper cards they will want to issue), bospitals and doctor's offices, your bank, business' taking a check. I bet libraries will require it eventually.

    Pretty much the beginning of the end. Congress is a bunch of whores.

  21. Obviously on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1


    They have to say this as they are unable to get Viagra in their country.

  22. Re:You insensitive clods! on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 4, Funny

    What about Carly's feelings? .... She must be feeling down and I bet her confidence has taken a real hit!

    I will paypal anybody $25 if they can show me a picture of her smeared make-up.

  23. Re:I know people who work at HP... on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously, the woman was a snake.

    That's not the least bit nice - you are giving snakes a bad name

  24. Re:The knives have been out for a long time on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 4, Funny

    strongest women in corporate America.

    There's a difference between a woman and a bitch who fills cartridges only a quarter full.

  25. Re:NPR dancing a jig? on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 1

    Is there no love lost between NPR and Fiorina or is it just that NPR is happy anytime a "big wig" gets the boot?

    I'm dancing a jig, and I don't even listen to the radio. Carly was a longtime advocate of draconian DRM and increased copyrights.

    This is indeed a special "time of the month."
