  1. This is Great for Baseball on Nanotech Research Works Toward Artificial Muscles · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now the zillionaires don't have to take steroids to cheat! And they can afford to be early-adopters of muscle upgrade procedures!

    This sig is my best one.

  2. Great, now I can't open my computer case on Intel Researchers Build Laser on Chip · · Score: 1

    Lord knows the residual beams will hit a plane and I'll get 25 years for changing my graphics card.

  3. Some jerk with a website will just post his speech on Apple Nixes Live Webcast, Satellite Feed · · Score: 3, Funny

    the day before he makes it. Those rumor sites...

  4. Now in addition to an open WiFi AP in my 'hood on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    I can rebroadcast the Stern show from Serius in 2006 for all my neighbors or his former FM frequency... lovely.

  5. Anyone got a DeadJournal Invite for me? on LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed · · Score: 0

    I'm not looking forward to adding ads to the teenage g@mr grlz whining.

  6. Where will all the Goth and Gamer Girlzzz go? on LiveJournal Buyout Rumor · · Score: 1

    LiveJournal is the only reliable place to find them.

  7. Why build when on Apple's Rumored Office Suite · · Score: 2, Interesting

    a perfectly good office suite (free) already exists? OpenOffice.org has an OSX version.

  8. Technical Problem with SpamVampire on Spamfighting Since the Death of MakeLoveNotSpam? · · Score: 1

    It's eating my bandwidth otherwise used for torrentz and pr0n.

    This sig is my best one.

  9. Must Account for Overbooking on Comair System Crashes; Passengers Stranded · · Score: 1

    The system should only be able to hold as many reservations as it has flights/seats.

    Useless commentary. Airlines overbook to fill planes and the system has to accomodate this.

  10. I am not afraid of this IE bug on New Spoofing Vulnerability in IE · · Score: 1

    After all, I have the mighty Microsoft-written XP SP2 Firewall to protect me.

    My best sig is this one

  11. So Long Good Tool on U.S. Makes Plans for GPS Shutdown · · Score: 1

    My employees tell me I couldn't manage my way out of a paper bag... now I won't be able to use GPS to do that either.

  12. Why Base it on Calories? on Space Station Crew Forced to Cut Calories · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't we all know by now it's the CARBS that count and not calories?

    My best sig is this one.

  13. Something to do with the Submarine? on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia · · Score: 1

    There appears to be a surfaced submarine to the right of the impact area. Maybe this was one of those space-based "throw metal at the ground" weapons being tested on the sub.

  14. Re:Moscow is Mocking NASA on Energia Reveals New Russian Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    You can't tell me that this looks identical to the shuttle.

    No, kid genious, that's why I specified the nose.

  15. Moscow is Mocking NASA on Energia Reveals New Russian Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Geez, even the ship's colors exactly match the Shuttle. Not to meantion the nose is a blatant copy. Kind of like giving the finger to the US, as if to say "take that, we've managed to fly something recently."

  16. Obligatory pr0n comment on 1.6TB In a Shoebox, If You've Got the Money · · Score: 5, Funny

    But seriously... with this and an optical data line, running your own household Usenet server starts to become practical.

  17. Re:in other words: why open source software's ille on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    When I am newly employed I submit a statement disclosing all the work I do outside of work hours that doesn't compete with anything I doing inside of working hours, and that it's my property. No one who has employed me (to date) has had a problem with that, and I doubt I would work for a company that did.

  18. I give back to the community on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I spend my spare time writing open source software.

  19. Re:Umbillical Cord Use Actually WORSE -ot on Paralyzed Woman Walks Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    The comedy is in the people posting to correct me on point #1 but not on point #2.

  20. Umbillical Cord Use Actually WORSE on Paralyzed Woman Walks Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because now you have to grow the fetus into an embryo, kill it, and harvest the cord to get the cells. How is this better ?!?

    Why can't we just get the stem cells from plants? Stems are abundant with them!

  21. Camera phones will never take over DSLRs or seriou on 7 Megapixel Camera Phone · · Score: 1

    Camera phones will never take over DSLRs or serious digital cameras

    yeah, just like that stupid personal computer the HP guy said I wouldn't want thirty years ago.

  22. Great for Pickups on BrainPort Allows People To Reclaim Damaged Senses · · Score: 1

    Now I can finally see better around the bar when I'm trying to pick up hawt girls. I'm sure they'll love the hat!

  23. A Hopeful Improvement is on GPL Revision Coming Soon · · Score: 0, Troll

    that it will be non-viral now and Microsoft will be happy with it. I believe they will call it "an even playing field."

  24. Re:Up from the Ashes on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 0

    Obviously not a regular slashdotter :)

    Yes, FireFox used to be both Phoenix and Firebird but the names were changed to protect other innocent OSS projects.

  25. Up from the Ashes on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe they should call it Netscape Phoenix or Netscape Firebird (ducks)
