  1. Re:Bad. on Google Goes to Washington · · Score: 1

    A Mime is a terrible thing to waste.

  2. I hate Google! Well, not yet. on Google Goes to Washington · · Score: 1

    How many years will it take before Google becomes so ubiquitous that it will replace Microsoft as everybody's object of hate?

    Or will it become the good big boy on the block?

  3. The next step is.... on Autonomous RoboFish at the London Aquarium · · Score: 4, Funny

    RoboSushi

  4. Job security? on Protothreads and Other Wicked C Tricks · · Score: 4, Funny

    So this is so "counterintuitive" that no one else will ever understand your code?

    Sounds ideal!

  5. Doman names? on Internet Growth in 2005 Sets Record · · Score: 1

    Is there a count of actual domain names somewhere?

  6. Bad for Microsoft on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 1

    This decision is bad for Microsoft and Good for open source.

  7. I have used pdf995 for a few years. on Office 12 to Include Native PDF Support · · Score: 1

    It costs less than $10 and is great. That is if you actually wish to pay for it. Just another printer option in windoze.

  8. I will see it via Netflix or rent it locally. on Bad Movies to Blame for Box Office Slump · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is NOTHING that I can't wait for. I will pay cheap, drink beer, sit in my recliner in underwear and when I want some chow, I will stop the movie and go make a pizza and get another beer.

    Movie theatres suck and I think more and more people are thinking like me.

  9. A bus full of slashdotters is on fire? on Airbus A380 Under Fire · · Score: 1

    After a bunch 'o beer and reading all the comments, is that what is happening?

  10. Re:Meta post... on Wild Gorillas Impress With Their Tools · · Score: 1

    You missed some.

    "But can they run Linux?"
    "I would like to see a Beowulf cluster of them"

  11. I don't know the O'Reilly books very well by sight on Wired Magazine Profile of Tim O'Reilly · · Score: 1

    I am far more familiar with the "XXX for Dummies" books.

  12. A further study is needed. on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 1

    To determine if there is any correlation with breastfed versus bottle fed.

    I will be glad to do it for a sizable grant.

    Sheesh.

  13. They should sell them to individuals. on MIT Unveils Prototype for $100 Linux Laptop · · Score: 5, Interesting

    At $200-$300 or maybe more. If they only cost about $100, the $200 fee would help to subsidize giving them away to the poor.

  14. Who would have thunk? on Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up · · Score: 1

    I am sure this is one of the unintended consequences of the Internet and particularly the Web. It could turn out to be positive in that it may well make companies better.

    I suspect it will be both good and bad depending on the company and the blogger. I hope for the best.

  15. Geez, what a name. on Flash, Meet Sparkle · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sparkle?? That is so Ghey!

    Straight guys will only use it in the dead of night without anyone present.

  16. My ancient perspective. on Computer Science Curriculum in College · · Score: 2

    This is probably out of date as it occurred about 15 years ago, but the manager of the Best Job I Ever Had said he would never hire a CS graduate. I was an electrical engineer. There were english majors, philosophy majors, a geologist, and other non-CS people there. And we did some amazing stuff with Lisp, Smalltalk and AI.

    The reasoning is that it is much easier for a good thinker to learn programming than a programmer to become a good thinker.

    However, in most IT jobs, practical training and experience is probably the best ticket.

  17. Did I lose track of time? on Refilling Ink Cartridges Now a Crime? · · Score: 0

    Is it April 1??

    This ip stuff is a black, very black, comedy.

  18. Ok, that is enough. on Firefox Hits 80,000,000 Downloads · · Score: 0, Troll

    How about a post from Cmdr Burrito or Cmdr Enchilada? I am sick of tacos.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah. Offtopic and all that. Bring Zonk back.

  19. Talk about a slow news day. on NES Controller Laser Mouse · · Score: 1

    Nothing of any importance happpened in technology or science today.

  20. What happens? on The NetBSD Toaster · · Score: 1

    What exactly happens when your toast is slashdotted?

  21. They keep giving stuff away! on Could IBM Shake up the Search Engine World? · · Score: 1

    No wonder my IBM stock is tanked.

  22. No more on Quantum Information Can be Negative · · Score: 1

    I will never take my software problems to a quantum mechanic again.

  23. I can forsee this happening. on Reducing Plant Stress Leads to Martian Farms · · Score: 1

    Your local dope dealer will be pushing Martian "Red" and saying "Yhis shit is out of this world."

  24. Awards on Making Fire From Water · · Score: 1

    There should be something similar to the Darwin Awards for completely pointless inventions.

  25. Marketing tip on 19 million Amps · · Score: 1

    They should have titled it "19 trillion microamps." Sounds more impressive to the aveage dufus.

    "A billion microamps here, a billion microamps there and pretty soon, you are talking real power."
