  1. Found a picture of it on Transparent Aluminum a Reality · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Buffing compound on Iomega Patents 850GB DVD Nano-Technology · · Score: 1
    Letting a company go out of business because they don't understand the basics of the technology speaks volumes about the loss of American Inginuity.

    Where in the original post did it say anything about America? It could have been Mexico, Canada, etc...
  3. Re:Blank Reg on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Excuse me you insensitive clod. The political spectrum is not made up entirely by Democrats and Republicans. There are many other partys to choose from. Unfortunately everyone is lead to believe that it is a wasted vote NOT to vote for dems or repubes.

  4. Re:will the other movies be, like, funny? on Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy · · Score: 1

    Have you actually seen the movie? It was funny as hell. Here's your lemon weighn.

  5. Purposefully done? on Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents · · Score: 1

    Now I have not read TFD, however it sounds like there was no smoking gun to be found. Could this have been a deliberate plant to throw off suspicion?

  6. It's not my fault! on Mars Rover Stuck in a Dune · · Score: 1

    Would it help if I got out and pushed?

  7. Re:Loose women ??? on Lack of Testing Threatening the Stability of Linux · · Score: -1, Troll

    This makes the assumption that there are no women testing linux... Or that all of the women are lesbians. Which actually makes more sense. Have you actually looked around and seen who is using linux?

  8. Re:No point. on Opera's CEO to Swim From Norway to the USA · · Score: 0
    "Bill Gates jumps pit of acid and a large tub of sharks with laser beams attached to their heads (and it was on fire)."


    What was on fire? The laser beams or the sharks?

    Large Man with Dead Moore's Law: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
    The Dead Moore's Law That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
    Large Man with Dead Moore's Law: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
    The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
    The Dead Moore's Law That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
    Large Man with Dead Moore's Law: Oh, don't be such a baby.
    The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
    The Dead Moore's Law That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.

    The Dead Collector: I can't.
    Large Man with Dead Moore's Law: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.

    Large Man with Dead Moore's Law: Ah, thank you very much.
    The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
    Large Man with Dead Moore's Law: Right.

  11. Re:But of course... on Your Face On the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Just make sure you put the head on the right body... My head on her body...

  12. Buy the videos on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1

    Disney is charge $32 / 26 minute episode. For a grand total of over $3200 for all 100 episodes. On the bright side, they provide free shipping.

    For that price, Bill better give me a back rub as well. The link to the videos.

  13. Cthulhu Networking Book Found on Google's Library Up and Running · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did a search for book cthulhu and one of the books listed was this one. Funniest networking book I have ever seen.

  14. iWon is powered by google on Ask Jeeves Bought for $2 billion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find that kind of amusing.

  15. Sure windows is more secure on Study Finds Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 1

    if the power is off

  16. Bonsai Tree on Plants for Cubicles? · · Score: 1

    I attempted to do this, but the thing died. However, I do not have much of a green thumb. If you do, they look pretty cool.

  17. Re:First Impressions on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 1

    I had no need to reboot. Perhaps it was an old version of .net?

  18. Re:GMail Invite on Sophistication in Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    Thank you all for your invitations, I do appreciate it!

  19. GMail Invite on Sophistication in Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    You insensitive clod, I don't have a gmail account to look at it... :) Unless someone wants to send me one.

  20. Re:Just use BSD or Linux or OS X, forget about win on Bugzilla on Windows? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In the real world it does not work like that. You see what the person was too polite to say was, "Please do not flame me with the fsck wins, go linux anyways, messages".

    Really, if the person says you can not go to linux at his shop, just take him for his word. If you have nothing useful to add at this point, please keep it to yourself.

    Or go ahead and say it anyways and just get mod'd down.

  21. Re:Ironic? on Federal Judge: Keystroke Logging Isn't Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Did you actually read the article? What the article said was that when the case being used as a precident, the FBI promised that when Scarfo connected to the internet, the logger turned off.

    Did the employer in this current case promise as much? Probably not. IANAJ, I would think that this is not a precident, and would be covered by the law.

  22. Crashes Abound on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 1

    I had .9x, 1.0PR and then 1.0 and I was crashing my entire system constantly. It was happening when I did the autoscroll function on a page. I reported this to the bug forum, and guess how many replies I got back from that report??? ZERO, nada, nothing, none, null, nill, zip.

    So I don't mind that someone raises the question up on Slashdot, perhaps this person will get some questions answered.

    You know what? I posted this very same problem on Slashdot not a few days ago. http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=129904&cid =10834742 and you know what happened, someone answered my question.

  23. S-Mart on Raimi Remaking 'Evil Dead'? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have just been "dying" to say this. With the purchace of Sears by K-Mart, does this mean they will rebrand under the name S-Mart?

    Just think of the tie ins!

  24. Re:Bugs and Crashes on Firefox News Roundup · · Score: 1

    Because a program should work the way I want it to, not the other way around.

  25. Re:What's the point? on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Guess what? You are not the target audience. If you know about FireFox, sure why would you use their browser. Their audience is the millions of people the fork their service over to, who do not know any better.

    AOL will add some proprietary plug-ins. Change the look and feel, add a new skin and you have the AOL/Netscape branded Fire Fox.

    However there is a possible bright side to all of this. They may contribute to the project. They may find bugs that they want to fix, and they should have to contribute those fixes back to the community.

    So even if you don't use their browser, depending on how they work this, it is a win-win for everyone involved.
