  1. Penn & Teller - Perfect explanation on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 1

    Penn & Teller did a great segment on their show 'Bullshit' about the idiocy of not getting your kids vaccinated.

    Youtube link (contains swearing and open comments)

  2. Move 7 inches in an hour? on Sperm Could Power Nanobots · · Score: 4, Funny

    If this is the same measuring of 7" that most guys use, then these things will probably top out at about 4" or 5"...

  3. Microsoft? Oh, gods... on Backing Up Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Brings a whole new meaning to "blue screen of death".

  4. The next step on Touch Sensitive Paper With Built-In Speakers · · Score: 3, Funny

    How do we make this work with porn magazines?

    You know it's gonna happen...

  5. What if it crashes? on Ladies and Gentlemen, the Electronic Toilet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you get a BSOD?
    (Brown Shit of Death)

  6. Re:The unasked question on Console Brand Loyalty and Lifestyle Choices · · Score: 1

    So, you're wanting to go from handheld to console?

  7. Gee, Brain. What do you want to do tonight? on 20 Years of Computer Viruses · · Score: 5, Funny

    The same thing we do every night, Pinky, try to infect the world!

  8. Re:Think Positive on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 1

    Well, come on...
    This is a low budget movie. They had to save in filming costs somehow!

  9. Re:The typical things Slashdot users will say: on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 1

    "Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these?"

  10. I delete more than I keep. on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    But that's only because of these dipshits who upload some Britney Spears crap as a Linkin Park song, have a corrupted file, or these annoying-ass bogus files that are starting to flood the servers.
    It's at the point where to get one good track that you need to download 8 or 10 bad ones.

    So, yeah. Technically, I do delete more than I keep.

  11. American beer on A Microbe's-Eye View of Beer · · Score: 5, Funny

    How is American beer like having sex in a canoe?

    They're both fucking close to water.

  12. There's already a levy on Germany Mulls A Copyright Levy + VAT For PCs · · Score: 2, Informative

    We've had one for a year or two now on cd-r media (and audio cassettes, I think). They just wanna expand the hell out of it to include ANYTHING that can hold an mp3. From what I understand, the levy will be based on a $/gb scale. As such, mp3 players with 20gb drives will have a LARGE fine attached to them.

    In all likelyhood, every cent of this levy-tax-thing has gone into the pockets of the collective.

  13. Story/Plot on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    I think that in any medium, having a good storyline is key. By good, I mean:
    -Plot: The plot needs to develop in a natural, thought out way. Using superior technology to escape from every little situation kills the story.
    -Characters: The people in the story need to act in a believable way. Having Darth Vader cuddle up with a pussy cat just wouldn't seem right.

    The second thing would be actors. If the acting seems too fake (wooden, forced, whatever), then it can EASILY kill a very good story.

    Of course, the best way to create a wonderful sci-fi story is to do something that DOESN'T involve a holodeck screw up!

  14. Features on Building the Enterprise D Out of LEGOs. · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The model features accidental saucer-separation capability, as I've found out more than once."

    Translation: I dropped it. It broke.

  15. I can just see the first court case... on Exchange Email Addresses With A Handshake · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Honest, your honor. I wasn't grabbing her. I was just giving her my telephone number!"

  16. A first ever. on Skydriving · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Their ultimate goal is to drop a Greyhound with forty people inside."

    This has the potential to be the first 40-way Darwin Award...

  17. Put it on your car! on Build Your Own Tesla Coil · · Score: 2, Funny

    Make yourself a Pedestrian Electro-Bastard Array!

  18. The only trouble with that idea is.... on Free Speech, Porn And Internet Controls · · Score: 1

    that if you are internet savvy enough to find porn (not that finding porn takes much effort), you can easily find the answers to those questions online.

  19. So that explains on Gator Will Replace Ads On Sites · · Score: 1

    the ad for Micro$oft I saw when I logged into Slashdot...

  20. If you want privacy, on How Can I Make More Of My Cubicle? · · Score: 1

    decorate your walls with weapons. Tons, and tons of weapons. I guarantee, people will leave you alone.

  21. Thanks to mega-corps, and the DMCA... on Sklyarov Released On $50,000 Bail · · Score: 1

    The quote at the bottom of the /. page somehow seems appropriate right now.
    "Tell me what to think!!!"

  22. Computer store on How Much Do Employers Budget for Education? · · Score: 1

    Well, our policy is: -Training is done on your own time, with your own money -The store will reimburse you for the cost of the EXAMS at the end of the course. Naturally, this is the case for ONLY those courses that benefit the company.

  23. Let's Celebrate!!! on Microsoft Verdict Vacated · · Score: 1

    Free burn copies of Win98, ME, and 2000 for everybody!

  24. My method is on Building Quieter Computers · · Score: 1

    the patented CmdrTaco Cooling System. It's easy. All you need is:
    1)CmdrTaco, qty:1
    2)Large hand fan, qty:1

    Then you remove the sides off of your computer, take out all the fans, and have CmdrTaco stand there and fan your computer. It's effective, and silent (except for the complaints of "My arms are sore"). As an added bonus, there's no electrical drain.
    The one drawback is that instead of fans sucking up electricty, CmdrTaco sucks up beer. But, that's the trade off.

  25. I will never on Palm In Trouble? · · Score: 4

    stop using my palm on a regular basis.

    Oh, wait. You're talking about pdas. Nevermind. My mistake.
