  1. When I come to office today on IBM Pushing Water-Cooled Servers, Meeting Resistance · · Score: 1, Funny

    I attach the power cable and the network cord to my laptop.
    So, will I, now, need to connect a water pipe carrying cold water too?
    I wouldn't mind it if I can get my drink of water from it too :)

  2. You insensitive clod! on External Airbag Designed to Protect Pedestrians · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't have even a single internal airbag!

  3. Re:No Mac for me! on Should Apple Give Back Replaced Disks? · · Score: 1

    If I were getting a replacement of the broken hard drive for "free" I'd still be able to understand them keeping the old one. But after paying a bomb for the replacement hard drive I WANT my old hard drive back. No question about it.
    In my windows/linux desktop i just go out and purchase a hard drive if my old one is out of warranty and shove it in. I don't have to worry about proprietary shit getting out of warranty!

  4. No Mac for me! on Should Apple Give Back Replaced Disks? · · Score: 1

    I have always been enthralled by all the comparison of Macs with Ferraris
    and the sorts. For long,I've stopped myself from purchasing a Mac though I can
    afford it because of its proprietary nature and of course the wife feels
    that we are doing fine with the good old windows(or sometimes linux) desktop.
    But after the release of leopard i convinced myself and my wife for atleast
    an entry level Mac i.e. a Mac-Mini.
    After reading stories like this I've again made up my mind not to purchase
    a Mac. Apple, enough of your hedonistic practices. It surprises me that Apple
    is resorting to such practices in the midst of a place which we cite for
    unmatched consumer friendliness.

  5. Re:Gopher on Unusual Data Disaster Horror Stories · · Score: 1

    Whereas in Soviet Russia gophers kill computers :)

  6. Okay, take it easy folks on Hundreds of Black Holes Found · · Score: 1

    It's only that someone just came back from a nudist colony.

  7. Aha! Finally we can bid adieu to bugmenot? on New York Times Ends Its Paid Subscription Service · · Score: 1
  8. Re:ahem.... are you sure? on Retailer Refuses Hardware Repair Due To Linux · · Score: 1

    I did my two cents :)
    BTW, just send what you want to to this email id: customer.services@pcworld.co.uk
    No need to go to the site hunting for the right page.

  9. Re:Liquid-filled airbag? on Sony Develops Fluid-Filled Bags For Hard Disks · · Score: 1

    Wonder if they ever thought of putting some springs/sponge/rubber inside the protector, as well.
    Those are the only other known cushions that're missing. Bah!

  10. Re:Apple running afoul of Microsoft licensing? on FSF Rattles Tivo Saber At Apple · · Score: 1

    XGPL rocks! Now, if only they extend XGPL to include all hot women anyone looks at I'll be sound as a pound.

  11. Re:No, it isn't. on Vista is Watching You · · Score: 1

    How come no one has uttered the holy mantra:
    In Soviet Russia You are watching Vista

  12. Re:Got to give it to Maynard! on Steve Jobs Personally Resolves Customer Complaint · · Score: 1

    In effect everyone tries to throw a line like that but it always
    accompanies a feeling that the email might get thrown out. So what
    the heck might as well swear at the company, if not anything :)
    In a nutshell my mail would summarize in this way:
    "Shrivel and die, you MFers. And take your company along with you". :D

  13. Got to give it to Maynard! on Steve Jobs Personally Resolves Customer Complaint · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I had gone through the shit he has gone through
    the mail I'd have sent would sound 10X more nastier
    than what he had sent.
    And maybe that's what mattered in the end. The cool
    and collected way Mr. Maynard wrote the disgruntled-
    customer email must've done the job(no pun intended).

  14. Re:You'd be surprised on The Gigahertz Race is Back On · · Score: 1

    Your crib is more to do with VI, I think.
    You won't be so frustrated with EMACS, I tell you.

  15. Re:In about 5 years on Nanostructured Li-ion Batteries for Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    Exactly! I for one do not like to be titillated with news like
    in 5 years we will have this and that technology. Tell me about
    it when we can buy such technology. Till that time I am blissful
    in the ignorance that such technologies are possible.

  16. Re:It works... on Speed of Light Exceeded? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's nothing. I will write this tomorrow.

  17. Re:Obvious use: intelligence gathering on Chinese Develop Remote Controlled Pigeons · · Score: 1

    But of course! This is slashdot. Nobody would think of spying, say, Jennifer Aniston in her bathroom with an X10..bah!

  18. This frogs has waited 25 millions years.. on Possible 25 Million Year Old Frog Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    ..to be kissed and to be turned into a princess.
    I hope someone gives it that much chance.

  19. Don'now how many of you got the 'stoned' part.. on Interview With "Switcher Girl" Ellen Feiss · · Score: 1

    But, first time I read it I thought the evil microsoft fanboys stoned
    her 'coz she switched. And it was polite of her to say 'it wasn't the case'.

  20. Re:Services? on Rotating Solar-Powered Skyscraper · · Score: 1

    I would think that there is core in the building that doesn't rotate.
    Once that is in place I don't see much problem with the use of extra
    length flexible conduits and making the building rotate in the reverse
    way alternately.

  21. Why go to Africa on Study Detects Recent Instance of Human Evolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    Didn't we see human evolution pretty close to home? But only backwards;).

  22. Re:Great idea, but probably not good for the ladie on "Couchsurfing" Travel Takes Off On the Web · · Score: 1

    OK, then I won't slap her on her a$$...I'll settle for something else :)

  23. The name should've given it away on CEO Nabbed for Identity Theft From Own Employees · · Score: 1

    Now, it can be safely said that his employees weren't so discerning as to
    tell a Chalk from Cheese :)

  24. Re:Dark Spot on Uranus? on Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus · · Score: 1

    So the spot on Uranus (not on mine!) has nothing to do with solar energy. It is an artifact of planetary dynamics. Say, the spot on Urranus has to do with what, then?

  25. Re:cheap homebrew infra-red mocap rig on Hardware for Homebrew Motion Capture? · · Score: 1

    There's goes the little-red-randy-pervert painting the town red, again.
    I just have to look the other way for a while and look you are upto :)
