  1. Just not the same on Commodore 64 TV Game for Sale · · Score: 1

    If I cant start loading raid on bungeling bay before dinner, go have some food with mom and dad, then come back in, cross my fingers, and hope its ready to play... I dont want it!

  2. Globalization on Westerners Migrating to India for Jobs · · Score: 4, Funny

    If each country is going to be good at something in the global market, and everyone is carving out their niche, I say let India be the land of cubicles and tech support. More power to em.

    I also would like to make a call now to solidify our position as the world leader in strippers.

    Government Subsidize Gold Poles NOW!

  3. Free snacks!?!?!?! on Westerners Migrating to India for Jobs · · Score: 0

    Well, I guess they are more valuable than stock options.

  4. changing barcodes on Amazon Japan Offers Barcode Purchases via Camera Phone · · Score: 0

    seems to me stores would use proprietary barcodes so that they arent always undercut by amazon or other sites.

    id cringe seeing everyone double check prices, and use my retail (overhead) store as a browsing station.

  5. Reperations on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: 2, Funny

    wow, they find the decendants of this one and i know where all those native american casino profits are going.

    damn, trying to keep the cave man down.

  6. Re:This is Slashdot on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 1

    Yes, he was described in that same conversation as a raging asshole. :)

  7. I'd leave CSI alone on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 1

    Maybe focus your scientific whining or shows like Joan of Arcadia.

    You are picking the worst example to attack... CSI does a relatively good job of representing the basic gist of some technologies without sounding like a manual, and still managing to entertain. Thats what a TV show does, and if it inspires, that's good.

  8. Re:Grade on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 3, Funny

    "I have not watched much of the show, but I don't much care for shows that wrap everything up in a neat little box and make people think that all crimes are solved in an hour, give or take commercials."

    I take it you're not a big fan of star trek either eh? :)

  9. This is Slashdot on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A population that loves Sci-Fi that includes a solution for everything byr eversing polarities.

    My buddy is a prop guy on CSI. For the most part the stuff they use is real, and he is trained on it... and then David Caruso is told how to use it by him.

    We can't start worrying about a little creative license when trying to tell a story... the point is made that smart can be exciting, even sexy without having to worry about following the instruction manual to the T.

    Kids will be inspired to learn about these things, investigate, solve puzzles either way.

  10. WAY OFF!!! on Cities Without Borders · · Score: 1

    "You should read the original article to see if you agree with the author -- or not."

    You do realize this is slashdot, don't you?

    And btw, aren't anonymous readers actually anonymous cowards around here?

  11. Re:Good American Programmers? on So, Who Wrote Sobig? · · Score: 1

    haha, i live where russian models come to get discovered...they fly in from all over the world...they have lived and breeded here for many many years... don't think midwest fat farm... think tons of women striving to be hot enough for the next roll, their music contract, etc.

    silly cowards :)

  12. At first I dont think this is a good idea. on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 1

    But then I remembered I'm also a big fan of natural selection.

    The problem with smoke cigarettes is they were trying to deselect me with their 2nd hand smoke.

    But now, if I'm not effected, but the addiction gene gets a little harder to pass on... well hey, I'm all for it.

    Smoke on... I mean, inhale on you addicts... don't it feel good? Wow, we can't even call them smokers... they are inhalers... sounds alot like puffers, huffers... not so glamourous.

    But seriously, this really reduces all of the hoopla and coolness of cigarettes to a nicotine delivery tool of the simplest form. No trying to hide what its for behind a cool camel or a hot woman... just good clean addiction.

  13. Re:Good American Programmers? on So, Who Wrote Sobig? · · Score: 1

    I suppose if I lived in Siberia surrounded by hairy fat women, I'd have the motivation to focus on virus writing too. For that I am jealous.

    I always wonder what sort of virus writing potential I could have had if I wasn't f'ing supermodels in southern california. Im going to go out front, their shooting another episode of baywatch... wait, thats just a bunch of girls... my bad.

    No slashdot readers will believe me, watch.

  14. fricken superstitions on Does Redskins Loss Presage A Kerry Win? · · Score: 1

    im only going to put up with this because its halloween, and even I enjoy the occasional creepy coincidence.

    its not going to top the 'curse' being broken on the night of a full eclipse though.

  15. Re:dear lord. on Big Arctic Perils Seen in Warming · · Score: 1

    mine is the 3kgt spyder.

  16. Re:dear lord. on Big Arctic Perils Seen in Warming · · Score: 1

    it actually fits quite nicely. i try to make it a habit to not pull in or out with the doors up.

  17. dear lord. on Big Arctic Perils Seen in Warming · · Score: 3, Funny

    Anyone else wipe the sleep from their eyes as they read "Big arctic Penis seen...".

    Yeah, it was only me. Dear lord, im going back to bed.

  18. Im not surpised on NASA Considering Early Retirement of Shuttle Program · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd be appaulled if they DIDN'T consider retiring the fleet as an option. To NOT do so would be pig headed. There could very well be a better way, regardless of how great the shuttle program has been, and how much it means to me as someone who grew up having the best "show and tell" pictures because my dad worked on the shuttle.

    There's alot of brilliant people over there that don't make it a habit of ignoring all the options, and all the possibilities. Thats what lets them acheive such great heights. I'd be sorry to see it go though.

  19. These are clearly not hobbits on New Hominid Species Unearthed in Indonesia · · Score: 4, Funny

    7 of them in caves? Hmm, perhaps working?

    try sleepy, bashful, dopey, sneezy...

    Keep digging, you'll pull up a hot brunette.

  20. I need something darker than black on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 1

    reminds me of the quote fromt he letterman/leno fued tv movie

    "This is new york. We only wear black, till something darker comes along"

  21. Re:wow, unmanned trip to the moon. on Planning Phase Complete For Indian Moon Mission · · Score: 1

    but my job has never been outsourced... its more likely yours has. I dont program, i pay peopel to do that.

  22. Re:wow, unmanned trip to the moon. on Planning Phase Complete For Indian Moon Mission · · Score: 1

    Or, you could try quoting my complete sentence...

    "I'm not sure I'll be impressed when some 3rd world country builds their first jet either."

    But yeah, I'm not impressed still, unimpressiveness confirmed.

  23. Re:Was waiting for this... on Planning Phase Complete For Indian Moon Mission · · Score: 1

    Thats OK, we were all waiting for a whiny kid to start complaining about posts so we can target our own little space based "programme" towards his home.

    Maybe were just "who're"s anyways.

  24. im really failing to see... on Planning Phase Complete For Indian Moon Mission · · Score: 0

    how this is going to improve the worlds accent heavy tech support.

    even if it was manned, we'd hear, "base this is lander, we need coordinates".

    "hello, what is your phone number so that we may call you back if the line drops"

    "we need the landing coordinates"

    "what is the nature of your call?"

    "we need the landing coordinates"

    "what operating system are you using?"

    "windows 95, we need the landing coordinates, give me to someone who knows how to do landing coordinates"

    "is this a problem with windows?"

    "coordinates!!!!"

    " have you rebooted?"

  25. wow, unmanned trip to the moon. on Planning Phase Complete For Indian Moon Mission · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Hooray for india, but we're already doing this on mars. I'm not sure I'll be impressed when some 3rd world country builds their first jet either.

    I mean, the moon, I hate that I'm desensitized to something that is somewhat impressive by itself, but I've seen way to many cooler things than just slingshotting a hunk of metal to the nearest rock.
