  1. Re:The problem with all these cars... on Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    >> It looks like a squashed milk carton.

    I'll bet after it gets tagged by a drunk in a Durango, then it *really* looks like a squashed milk carton. Plus the E46 probably qualifies for ULEV status anyhow.

  2. I just like the thought on Power Plants On Rails for California · · Score: 1

    that somewhere a big-ass diesel is creating the energy to run my HO gauge layout. It's got a freaky symmetry to it.

  3. Re:Go buy a book on Options for Adults with Renewed Interest in Math? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I recommend "Math For Total Retards" seeing as how the original interlocutor was to stupid to figure out he/she could learn from a book.

  4. If you are writing these games, on The Wireless Arcade · · Score: 5, Funny

    please include a pause button. The first person who holds up my grocery line while he finishes up a level will get beaten to death with a baguette.

  5. Re:for those who read the comments before the arti on The Who's John Entwistle Dead · · Score: 2, Funny

  6. Re:It's all the Alien tourists... on Scotland: Aliens' Official Favorite Destination · · Score: 1

    Having been to both Scotland and Roswell, I can unequivovally say that Scotland is by far the better tourist destination.

  7. Ogle the Google on What's It Like to be Google's Boss Techie? · · Score: 2

    The Google image search is wonderful, but shouldn't that have been called Ogle?

  8. Re:Key difference on Slashdot Effect, Live and In Person · · Score: 1

    Wow, meatspace trolling, what a concept! I guess that would be kind of like at Thanksgiving dinner after Uncle Eddie's got a six pack of beer inside him, and you oh-so-innocently mention what a great Social Security system we have here in America.

  9. Re:of course not on The Economics of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    That's a poor analogy because,

    1. Radio is not play-on-demand.
    2. Radio only provides access to the most popular track(s) on an album.

  10. Pretty friggin' cool, but on Build Your Own Cityscape · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. What ugly view did it cover up?

    and

    2. What did the neighbors build to keep from having to look at the back of the project?

  11. Re:No Nano! on Nanotech Products Hitting the Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And don't forget friction!

  12. Re:Don't worry, I've already cracked it on Crack a Password, Save Norwegian History · · Score: 2, Funny

    In case people care to see the rest of the database:

    Username: navne

  13. Re:The powers of being concise and clear on RTFM = Read the Funny Manual? · · Score: 2

    >> I want to find the answer I'm looking for and absorb it in the shortest possible amount of time.

    A good index helps a lot. Most manuals don't have robust enough indecies.

  14. 110 vs 220 on Do-it-yourself UPS · · Score: 2, Funny

    >> Of course you can mentally substitute U.S. 110 volts for Australian 220 volts wherever necessary...

    Holy S#!t! And I thought the Canadian exchange rate was bad!

  15. Re:Long term goals on Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years · · Score: 1

    >> Drilling in Alaska shows a complete lack of planning for the future generations at best, a complete disregard for them at worst.

    Screw the future generations. What have they ever done for us? Er, um, uh...

  16. Perhaps I'm being naive, on HP Must Defend Half-Empty "Economy" Ink Cartridges · · Score: 3, Interesting

    but I do not think of HP as a sleazeball company. They make high quality products for fair prices, treat their employees reasonably well, and you never hear about Chinese 6-year-olds assembling LJ4100's in a sweatshop someplace.

    So, why are they pulling this scam? Is it a change in corporate culture? Is HP actually evil, with a thin chocolaty covering? Is it actually a fair tactic? Is it a manufacturing or shipping issue?

    Insight please...

  17. Re:Gee-whiz predictions the future tend not to wor on Eight Technologies That Will Change the World · · Score: 2, Funny

    Agreed. Plus, this sounds like some bad Cosmo article headline:

    Eight Technologies That Will Change the World
    Eight Makeup Tricks to Make You Look Thinner
    Eight Ways to Keep Your Man Interested
    Eight Hot Looks for Summer

  18. Wanted: on Overture Search Terms Showcase Piracy Desire · · Score: 2, Funny

    swfnews.com seeks swmnews.com for long term relationship. Must like long walks on the beach, holding hands, and kittens. No headgames or posers.

  19. Re:Last time MS dropped their prices... on Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sony has revenues of about $20 billion. In its best year Netscape had revenues of about half a billion dollars. Additionally, Sony has been an expert manufacturer for years and knows how to control costs, while Microsoft is a long term player in the software business, and hasn't ever had variable costs before. Sure, sure, Microsoft doesn't fight fair, but in this arena they don't have much of an advantage and will not bankrupt Sony. Duh.

  20. I was in Vegas last month on Mysteries of the Las Vegas Telecom System · · Score: 4, Funny

    On the wall in my hotel lobby I saw this really cool "AT&T" slot machine with a phone attached. I kept putting in quarters and never won anything or got any money back. Phreakers have obviously hacked the slots too!

  21. My Sentiments, and probably yours too on Microsoft Opts-In Hotmail Users · · Score: 1

    >> Microsoft has suddenly changed the privacy preferences for all Hotmail users.

    Yeah, well Microsoft can suck my ass!

  22. Re:How is this art? on Hacking the Highways · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's a hell of a good joke, some fine craftsmanship, and a poke at authority. Perhaps that's enough to call it art.

  23. Re:Your comments, Sir, irritate me on Why Doesn't Sci-Fi Hit the Bestseller Lists? · · Score: 1

    He writes for periodicals, I think it's safe to stereotype him.

    Clive Thompson probably:

    wears a battered Fedora with a press card in it
    wears $90 suits
    has a nervous tic
    has quit smoking more than four times
    uses a Remington typewriter
    has a lively sex life
    last had sex with a partner in 1999
    goes to press events where there will be free food
    goes to *a lot* of press events where there will be free hard liquor
    knows how to get a parking ticket fixed
    has bad teeth and halitosis
    graduated from a large state university
    plagiarizes about half his work

  24. Re:To vocalize what's on everyone's mind... on Fewer Jobs, Less Pay In The IT Industry · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Doctors (in America at least) are already factory workers. Medical school wouldn't have saved you from the drone farm.

  25. Re:AOL Worth 1/3 less on AOL-Time Warner's Money Pit · · Score: 1

    Definitely its best . When you do something incredibly stupid, you deserve to suffer from your mistake. If this was done under a command economy, the taxpayer-citizens would be throwing money down that rat-hole for years to come. I have no sympathy for the managers, employees, or investors.
