  1. My prediction: on How Long Do You Want Digital Media To Last? · · Score: 1

    In 100 years, the only archival footage available to historians will be pirated copies of films. We all know Hollywood was already letting films rot in the vaults before they got all paranoid about the scourage of perfect digital copies.

  2. When life give you lemons... on How Long Do You Want Digital Media To Last? · · Score: 1

    Real colleges post their records to teh intarweb and let a million identity scammers do the backup for them!

  3. Dude looks like a glavin... on COMDEX Cancelled Again · · Score: 1

    That's strange, as Danny Bonaduce can tell you, with hookers, the worst stuff is stuff you're not expecting to find!

    Damn, you just gave me a $20 million marketing idea!

  5. Re:I don't understand on Sony Recants on Dead Pixels (Sort Of) · · Score: 1

    I thought the LCD industry had solved this problem. Don't most LCD designs now use multiple subpixels per pixel so they have spares for any bad pixels?

  6. jackass woo woos on Space Shuttle Goes Back to Work · · Score: 1
    Isn't "Major Ed Dames" one of the woo woos that "scientifically remote viewed" a reptillian battlefleet hiding behind the Hale-Bopp comet that some people took a little to seriously?(http://web.archive.org/web/200402171055 19/http://www.heavensgate.com/index.html) (Or was that "Dr. Courtney Brown"?)

    NB - slashdot's idiotic anti-troll measures fuck up display of links into the internet archive. The link itself works correctly. Silly asses.

  7. Pussies. on Space Shuttle Goes Back to Work · · Score: 1
    Hey, a 17-year MTB(C)F should be good enough for anybody!

    Recylced post for a recycled story, mods plz ignore:

    If this keeps up, pretty soon we're all going to have the same identity!

  12. T-Rex Terminator(tm) ebryos, WTF?!!! on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1

    But who wants to pay $65,000 for a dinosaur embryo that you can't breed new little dinosaurs with?

  13. Suck it up, you fucking pussy Americans! on Cable Equal Access Case Goes to Supreme Court · · Score: -1, Troll

    People starve to death all of the time all the world over, and nobody does dick. Some damn American starves to death, and they make a big deal about it.

  14. Re:The Tetris Disk on The Solar Death Ray · · Score: 1
    " Right...I'm sure no woman will ever forgive him for burning the Tetris disk. "

    No woman worth having.

    Linux is free only if Novell's time is worth nothing.

  17. Clerks always get their revenge.... on CSU Chico Identities Compromised · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If I was a petty bureaucrat and some tinfoil hat wearing, snotnosed teenager whined at our using SSNs for IDs and insisted that we provide an alternate number, I'd be sure to put in their records - "Alternate ID # 3423-233-222 assigned in lieu of SSN # 773-39-9037"

    They may be allowed to dress them up pretty, but they're still veal pens. Those poor bastards probably work 60 - 80 - 90 hours a week 50 weeks a year. They might as well be chained to their desk. Stupid Americans.

  22. Re:How Long? on From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life · · Score: 2, Funny
    That's why I contend that when the noosphere does become sentinent, it's going to be bat-shit crazy.

    Evolution isn't a theory. It's proven technology.

    You were probably talking about biological evolution, and the silly idea that it usurps the role of a creator.
