  1. Re:Thespians on Pay the TSA $100 and Bypass Airport Security · · Score: 1

    Thank you.

  2. Re:Why New Programming Languages Succeed Or Fail on Why New Programming Languages Succeed Or Fail · · Score: 2

    *raising hand* Me! Me!

    I'm a dinosaur. Been around since the days of IBM 360 systems. Assembler, RPG, COBOL, PL/1, that kind of thing.

    Lucky for me I had the sense to graduate to C after it first came out. PL/1 was fairly similar to C in constructs, etc. so it was an easy transition.
    Ooops, excuse me. The nice pretty lady is here to wheel me to lunch.

  3. Re:Use Linux on Crying Foul At the BSA's "Nauseating" Anti-Piracy Tactics · · Score: 4, Informative

    That was Gibson guitars and the feds came in with guns and shut them down twice over some bogus claims.

  4. Re:Headless humans still run around too... on When Are You Dead? · · Score: 1

    So that's where the expression "I'm on a roll!" came from!

  5. Re:Thank you... on Final Analysis Suggests Tevatron Saw Hint of the Higgs Boson · · Score: 1

    A sea of Higg's Bosons are theorized to pervade the entire universe and the interact with every particle of matter.

    So the Higgs Boson is really "The Force" ...

  6. Re:Northern Lights and Killer Asteroids on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    They kind of did the same thing in Galaxy Quest:

    Sarris: You fool! You failed to realize that, with your armor gone, my ship will tear through yours like tissue paper.
    Jason Nesmith: And what you fail to realize is my ship... is dragging mines!


    Whoever wrote this episode should DIE.

  7. I guess.. on In Theory And Practice, Why Internet-Based Voting Is a Bad Idea · · Score: 1

    ... that means that we're not going to see DialIdol [dialidol.com] modified for many upcoming elections. Too bad. I was looking forward to hearing Obama singing "Another One Bites The Dust".

  8. Re:Body language is an effective tool on How To Sneak In To a Security Conference · · Score: 1

    I got away with this at a concert back in '76. I happened to be dressed just like the security people (jeans, denim shirt - whoda thunk it) and a camera with a long zoom lens. I parked down in front of the stage and while the security people were booting other people out left and right, they left me alone.

  9. By the time I read the EULA... on Gates Foundation Makes Progress On Reinvented Toilets · · Score: 1

    .. I won't need to use the toilet.

  10. Re:As opposed to clay pigeons on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    The live ones taste WAAAY better.

  11. Re:Microsoft Quality on Google: IE Privacy Policy Is Impractical · · Score: 1

    That only works if the Beads application is installed.

  12. Re:How else they gonna do it? on Nuclear Truckers Haul Warheads Across US · · Score: 1

    Get Burt Reynolds and Sally Field and a big frickin' TransAm. And use Coors Beer to keep the nuclear material from going critical mass.

  13. I doubt... on Test-Tube Burgers Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    that Hannibal Lechter is going to changes his ways over this news.

  14. Re:Why stop? on Stealing Laptops For Class Credit · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's an odd name for a dog.

  15. New Sign in the Doctors Office... on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No Shirt, No Shoes, No Vaccine: No Service. Go waste some other doctor's time. It's hard enough for doctors to make a living with Medicare cutbacks, insurance cuts, etc.

  16. Re:Excuse me... not a programmer's fault. on Programming Error Doomed Russian Mars Probe · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if the chips were code named "Moose" and "Squirrel"...

  17. Re:Where was his golden... okay I won't on Steve Appleton, Micron CEO, Dies In Plane Crash · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess he went out doing the thing he loved.

    He loved to crash his airplane???

  18. I find it interesting... on Web Guru To the Blind · · Score: 0

    ... that this story immediately follows the one about a Seattle library allowing some guy to watch porn (http://idle.slashdot.org/story/12/02/03/1611259/seattle-library-lets-man-watch-porn-on-computers-despite-complaints). Hmm, what's the connection? If you don't stop it, you'll need one of these web readers?

  19. Re:not mutually exclusive on Chinese Boy Claims To Have Cat-Like Night Vision · · Score: 1

    As the GP implied, don't look too closely at your plant pots.

    Or your stereo headphones.

  20. Re:not to mention... on Early Plants May Have Caused Massive Glaciation · · Score: 0

    Nothing but undeveloped, unevolved, barely conscious pond scum, totally convinced of their own superiority as they scurry about their short, pointless lives.

    Are we still talking about algae? Or politicians?
