  1. that crazy hook thing on Required Tools for PC Repair? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was curious, so I looked it up.

    They have it simply billed as:
    multi-purpose hook (parcel carrier)

  2. another issue? on 'Non-Invasive Polygraph' Uses Infrared Light · · Score: 3, Funny

    Whether "various physiological characteristics" are reliable signs of truth-telling is another issue, though.

    You question our methods, terrorist?

    Perhaps it is you that stole the stapler!

  3. funny? on Programming Warm Ups? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am staring at my hands thinking: but that's what I actually do... Maybe I should have gone to college where they teach proper technique...

    Then again, taking a break from coding and reading the other replies: everyone else seems to be answering humorously, so maybe I can save my ego by saying:

    of course I don't really do any of that, heh heh... that would be silly... I mean, coding is hard and I... Hey - look over there - the Matrix!!

  4. coffee on Programming Warm Ups? · · Score: 4, Informative

    coffee, a little slashdot... poking at any outstanding errors, reading through error logs from the program in question... rereading the source, adding better comments to sections that you've forgotten /again/ how they work... write a little documentation, update the changelogs...

    THEN the new code.

  5. Re:He says ... on Decipher · · Score: 2, Funny

    The geologist says "I think I can fit it in my hammer loop here on my belt"... Then the mathmatician butts in and says...

  6. verbiage on MIT Researchers Build A Robotic Snail · · Score: 3, Funny

    Lots of interesting details on sort of results might eventuate from this project.

    Reread it.
    Reread it..
    Reread it...

    My head explodes.

  7. Re:Cool on Gridwars Parallel Programming Challenge · · Score: 1

    Well, if you're into regular old corewars, (and if the site ever comes back up) you might look here. They were/are doing just that w/ the old corewars mars code.

  8. Re:"not a how to book" on Firewalls and Internet Security, Second Edition · · Score: 1

    only if it's full of shock-and-awe.

  9. Re:for thos unexpected biological attacks.. on Duct Tape Goes Minature · · Score: 1

    you missed "egloo"...

    too wrapped up in a corrective frenzy? ;)

  10. twiddler? on Keyboards for One Hand? · · Score: 1

    How about the twiddler? It's chorded... Includes mouse features. A favorite w/ the wearable PC crowd @ MIT...

  11. hmph on Is ROM Collecting Wrong, or Just Misunderstood? · · Score: 1

    Console games I could care less about - but there's great history and art in the old arcades. As long as someone is preserving the ROMs, I'm happy, but I'd like to see retro enthusiasts de-criminalized.

    what jacked up teen that plays vice city all day would want to take major havoc or tac-scan for a spin? c'mon. at this point, most of those old cabs are right on the edge of being called 'vintage' by most people.

    free the retro dorks!

  12. what's a distribution? on Introduction to Debian · · Score: 3, Funny

    and while we're at it, what's lignux?

  13. use of periods overrated on Intel PAT Compared On 865PE Boards · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    also cheap is to not use expensive periods in story writeup adds breathless effect like chips are more exciting than god exclamation point

  14. draw the line on Websites of Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    (save the obvious Slashdot jokes)

    are you implying that goatsex and tub girl are somehow reference works?

    or does this have to do with grits? what the hell are you talking about?!

  15. next... on Goodfellas Inspiration Rates Gangster Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    we should have a few sex offenders rate some hentai games.

  16. from the article on Glade 2 Tutorial · · Score: 1

    What Glade cannot do:
    * Glade doesn't develop the 'backend' of your application


    I'm interested in the toolkit that set that expectation. I'm pretty sure it's not Emacs.

  17. better watch it on Gameboy E-Reader - Game And Watch Cards · · Score: 4, Funny

    if the scans are too good, you'll infringe copyright...

    wouldn't it be nice to have a shirt with tetris on it? i mean the whole thing, in a 2D barcode. hmm...

  18. formulated on Build Your Own HERF Gun · · Score: 1

    knock!? hrmph.

    I thought it was perfectly cromulent.

  19. spike strips on Build Your Own HERF Gun · · Score: 1

    actually, spike strips are made to deploy at any old speed. they're specially formulated to let the air out of the tires slowly, so that you gradually slurp into railcar-mode.

    by specially formulated i of course mean: "the spikes are hollow".

  20. Gene Simmons NO! on Hi-Tech Weed-Killer · · Score: 1

    Has no one seen Runaway?! Do you want robot spiders directed by Gene Simmons to come for you and your son? I thought not.

  21. diamonds != forever. advertising == forever on Are Plain-Text Ads Doomed? · · Score: 5, Funny

    As fonts get smaller, ASCII art in the adverts will pick up and pretty soon - we'll be back where we started.

    Just a matter of time.

  22. Re:In the real world, they do. on Spammers Threaten Techdirt With Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Uh oh. Getting into political territory here.

    I think we're on the same side of the fence - that vigilanteism isn't quite right.

    And I can agree to disagree on what the law says we should do to thieves, liars, etc...

    You're right, I hadn't detected the subtlety. *bows*

  23. In the real world, they do. on Spammers Threaten Techdirt With Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Theives can be fined for what they steal, in reparation.

    In the real world, all the murdered have families that care about and love them.

    Your rebuttal is facetious.

  24. I don't know... on Small Artist Group Gets Nastygram from Intel · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is anyone else getting tired of the bully called 'corporate America'?

    I'm good for another few years, thanks. The trick is not to think about it.

  25. Re:Sure? on HTML: Is it Art? · · Score: 1

    If it comes with a sign that reads "Our sins", then, on the other hand, it might have a serious ethical meaning.

    The sign I see over that one reads "artist lazy".
