  1. Re:Outlook is the bane of email on Email Turns 34 · · Score: 1

    My main annoyance with Outlook is trying to get it to show me the damned raw email with headers and real email addresses. There probably is some way (right?) but they don't make it easy to find.

  2. Re:Credit where credit is due on Email Turns 34 · · Score: 1

    No no -- it was Stiff Linefeed!

  3. Re:the aol on Email Turns 34 · · Score: 2

    It was pretty annoying getting those AOL punch cards in the mail all the time...

  4. Re:rat floating on a banana leaf on Rat Cunning May Allow For Island Colonization · · Score: 1

    But is it an African or European swallow?

  5. Re:rat floating on a banana leaf on Rat Cunning May Allow For Island Colonization · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or carried by an unladen swallow...

  6. Re:Evil Disemboweling Kitty Cats on Velociraptor Bad At Disemboweling · · Score: 1
    My cat disemboweled me last week!

    ...I got better.

  7. Re:Unconvincing on Velociraptor Bad At Disemboweling · · Score: 1

    Yeah, what if the velociraptor knows some Rap-Fu martial arts moves? Gojira (aka Godzilla) did, so it's possible, especially with a montage. Robot Godzilla never quite had the moves, so their experiment is nonsense!

  8. Doctor Fun on The World's Smallest Car · · Score: 1
  9. Once he was the King of Spam, now he does 5 to 10 on FBI Raids Home of Spam King Alan Ralsky · · Score: 1
    Laura Betterly, the Spam Queen, recently abdicated on October 4th. (That "news story" is by Laura herself.) Odd how she stepped down just after the raid on Al Ralsky, but before the news of it was unsealed...

    I'm not sure who's next in the direct line of the spammish succession, but there are certainly enough acknowledged royal bastards to pass the throne to, if need be. (I'm not sure if King Al Ral has any jewels to turn over.)

  10. Re:In other news... on Google Terror Threat · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know, people will start objecting if you stand on the public sidewalk and take pictures of their buildings. oh wait.

  11. Re:Access Control on Google Terror Threat · · Score: 2, Funny

    So I guess they won't be offering the option to put damage zone rings for various kilo/mega-tonnage explosions at the center of the map any time soon? (There was a page [non-Google] that did that a few years ago. I think the "map location of spammer's house" slashdottings killed it rather than security reasons.)

  12. Re:Great. on Future Cell Phone Knows You By Your Walk · · Score: 1

    That's why you shouldn't try to move after an accident: you'll activate your phone's security lockout, duh!

  13. Baloney Baffles Brains on Solutions for When Managers Hijack Your Code? · · Score: 1
    and the bosses don't even know what the software can do nor even what it looks like

    Sounds like an excellent time to give them a good fahrenheit to kilometres conversion program. Then run.

  14. It was the chickens on Wallace and Gromit Studio Loses History · · Score: 4, Funny

    They're organized, I know it. Ginger, she's their leader, I reckon.

  15. Re:Sim Ant? on Google Ant · · Score: 1

    Isn't Golden Palace the place that one of their "monkeys" jump into a swimming pool during the Olympics with their URL marked on his body? (Or maybe it was the streaker at the Superbowl? After a while, the jerks all blend together.)

  16. Re:The only thing you need... on Hurricane Relief - What Would You Bring? · · Score: 1

    Another one?!? Damn, I just got through hiding the bits of the last one! (Those Marcabs make excellent security systems.)

  17. Re:The only thing you need... on Hurricane Relief - What Would You Bring? · · Score: 1

    Don't you think that some people haven't heard of $cientology and would like a copy of The Way To Happiness, some "feel my finger" massages or amazing Elronic curing powerz. Oh and there's these courses that people can sign up too if they have money...

  18. Re:The BlueTooth Tooth on The Tongue Twisting Tooth Microphone · · Score: 1

    Only if you use it to voice-command through pr0n sites. (I guess that would be the Blue BlueTooth Tooth.)

  19. Re:Copy protection, HA! on Flash Memory with Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    And even the Lens was copied eventually. Not that the few Boskonian black lensmen would ever fool anyone into thinking they were with the Galactic Patrol. If the next cards glow red and kill unauthorized users at a touch, then I'd start to worry.

  20. Re:Monorail! on Seattle Axes Monorail Project · · Score: 2, Funny
    But because I own a car in the last year I spent more on monorail tax than I did on gas.

    Don't worry, that's been fixed in the last couple of weeks. Now you'll probably spend more on gas.

  21. Finally! on Linux-Powered Humanoid Robot on Sale Friday · · Score: 1

    It looks like 2005 will finally be the Year of the Linux-Powered Humanoid Robot! (Too bad that it's a bit big to fit on a desktop.)

  22. Re:I'm 20... on Quantum Link Reverse Engineered · · Score: 1
    I'm scared to think what I will be like it 20 years.

    "We had Slashdot, and we liked it!"

  23. Re:Ahh those were the days on Quantum Link Reverse Engineered · · Score: 5, Funny

    The AOL users hadn't been invented yet, now those were the days!

  24. Re:I got 9 years out of my PalmPilot Pro on Birth of the Pilot PDA · · Score: 2, Informative

    I bought a refurbished Palm IIIe a few months ago for $25 CDN. It does the basic functions fine. I wouldn't mind rechargable batteries, better resolution, colour, USB/Blue Tooth sync, SD/MMC memory cards, etc, etc, but no way am I upgrading until I've driven this one to its ($25) limits.

  25. Re:SHC on Statically Charged Man Ignites Office · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps he'd been watching some BlipVerts? (Mind you, 20 minutes into the future is like so last millenium!)
