  1. Website?!?! on How to Set Up a Gift Website? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man, and here I was all proud of making my folks a clay ashtray.

  2. Re:Sometimes it doesn't matter on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... Nearly everyone in the audience knew damn well he was fine and would return ...

  4. Bad joke... on The Amazing Shrinking Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Would sales tax on these things be called a "Blue Gene Levy"? Hahahaha. Horrible, I know. ;)

  5. Posting anonymously? on What Could You Do With 120 Laser Pointers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sorry if this is slightly off-topic, but I'm the submitter of this article, though I did so anonymously. Is it standard Slashdot practice to change the submitter's (anonymous) name? If you'll notice, the article start "lazed-dazed asks: ..." instead of "Anonymous Coward asks: ..."

    Just curious.

  6. My recommendation: on Scientific American's Sci/Tech Gifts for 2003 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Might I suggest 120 laser pointers?

  7. I can picture now... on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 1

    "Morpheus! Morpheus! Morpheus! Morpheus! Morpheus!"

    Note: For those who don't get the above attempt at humour, peep this: http://www.ntk.net/media/developers.mpg

  8. Thanks for nothing! on World's Oldest Puzzle Solved · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thanks for ruining it for me! I'd only made it to the 535th solution! =p

  9. Bah! on Technological Flights Of Fancy That Fizzled · · Score: 3, Funny

    Forget flying cars and colonies on the Moon! I'm still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever!

  10. Hither and yon on Pre-Fab Homes? · · Score: 4, Funny
    "...researched hither and yon and..."

    Damned kids these days! Doesn't any one say "thither" anymore? ;)

  11. Biography on Could Isaac Newton Get a Faculty Job? · · Score: 4, Informative

    If anyone's interested, James Gleick recently released a wonderful biography of Sir Isaac. It's a very entertaining, very fast read.

    Disclaimer: I've never read any other Newton biography, so I can't validate the accuracy. ;)

  12. They been doing it for years... on MPAA Ruins Own Films As Anti-Piracy Measure · · Score: 1

    ...by putting Kevin Costner in 'em! =)

  13. Wrong! on Track a Soda Can with GPS? · · Score: 1

    Don't they know they're supposed to use a Pringle's can?!?!?

  14. GameCube? on Turn Your GBA Into A Game Console · · Score: 2

    With the GameCube now priced the same as the GBA, one might as well just skip the "turn your GBA into a console" bit and go straight to owning a console! =)

  15. Re:Software is dirt cheap for professionals on Adobe Releases Updated Creative Suite · · Score: 1

    Dude, at $300/hour, I'd expect you'd want to take your jolly time! =)

  16. Re:Hmm... on Canada Immune From RIAA? · · Score: 1

    Here in Canada it's spelled cheque. ;)

  17. New site design? on New Slashdot T-Shirts On Sale Now · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder if this means Slashdot's going to change their look to match the snazzy OSX-style "Volatile Hyperlinkage" design. Might be a nice change.

  18. Re:Apollo? Deltas? on The Return of Apollo? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh, wait. For a minute there I was expecting this Richard Hatch. =)

  19. Nova Special on Current Thoughts in String Theory · · Score: 1

    On October 28th, from 8pm to 10pm EST, the PBS show "Nova" will be running a special regarding string theory (among other things). More details are here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/.

  20. While we're on the subject... on Build Your Own Lava Lamp · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ... here's a litt bit about making those crazy lightshows from the sixties.

  21. That ain't right! on Scout Walker Kama Sutra · · Score: 2, Funny

    Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves not these things.
  22. The subtitle should've been... on Literary MUD Gets Oscar Wilde Bot · · Score: 4, Funny

    from the bots-gone-Wilde dept. =)

  23. Re:The future of game guides on Are Game Guides Dying? · · Score: 3, Funny

    That would suggest 3DR intends to produce their own guide at some point...

    This also suggests that 3D Realms intends to produce a game at some point, too! =)

  24. Re:3 months on Half-Life Vulnerabilities Exposed, Patched · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What possible rationale do they have for not fixing it in 3 months?

    Hmmm. Maybe they were busy working on Half-Life 2? ;)

    Seriously, though: considering Half-Life's age, I find it amazing it got patched at all! Half was released at the end of 1998, making it almost 5 years old. I can't think of many other games (or even applications, for that matter) that still get support after such a length of time.

  25. Guttenberg's Bible? on Digitized Gutenberg Bible Available · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bible, schmible! I much prefer Guttenberg's movie.
