  1. Re:cough on Twin Prime Proof Erroneous · · Score: 3, Funny
    i've concluded that the most popular phrase on slashdot is 'order of magnitude'

    Yeah, and it's not even close. "order of magnitude" is more popular by a... heck of a lot. (heh.)

    100 pages of plain text, assuming a maximum of 200 characters per line and no more than 70 lines, runs to just 14,000 characters

    100 x 200 * 70 > 14,000.

    You can keep your cast iron automobile. I'm going hydrogen

    No matter how it makes you feel, It's not a matter of will. You can't just "decide" it's going to work, and then be tooling around in your hydromobile.

    Idiot. "Your" was actually used correctly, you fucknozzle.

    For sufficiently small values of correct. The post starts out "Your shitting me." Even a fucknoozle such as myself can see that's not right.

    Oh well i guess some people like sending their stuff through plaintext.

    While your post is not quite plaintext, its encryption is not very good. I was able to quickly determine that "your" = you're, and "wont" = won't. Next time try a more complex scheme.

    And very ironic a coincidence at that.

    The consequence of making a mistake is that you end up with with something from Microsoft. Where's the irony in that?

    Wouldn't it be easier to layoff the donuts, exercise, lose 100 pounds, and watch your diet?

    I suppose you're trolling, but many fit people wear an insulin pump. Scott Verplank, for instance.

    What type of troll is that?

    He had me fooled. Especially with that low user ID giving him a little extra credibility. Thanks for pointing him out.

    and we do not ladle hot melted butter over the popcorn.

    Why not? Popcorn by itself is bland and tasteless. It's just the delivery mechanism for warm oil, salt, and butter.

  14. Re:stun guns are not that effective on Shocking Clothing · · Score: 1
    You have a gun, I have a gun, everyone around you has a gun. Are you going to pull a gun on me?

    Almost never. But with all those guns, sooner or later somebody will. People get mad. People get drunk. People get mad and drunk. Angry drunks do stupid things.

  15. Hysterical on Shocking Clothing · · Score: 1
    The real question is whether the submitter knew the origin and full meaning of the word "hysterical"

    I'd say he hardly understands it at all. It doesn't mean "extremely funny," except in the loosest way. To use it as such cheapens the language.

  16. Re:It's not a waterfall then, is it? on Water Flows Uphill · · Score: 1, Funny

    If it's the opposite of a waterfall he could call it a water spring. Sadly, that name is taken.

  17. Re:Interesting... on Water Flows Uphill · · Score: 2, Interesting
    none of the water looks like it's flowing up in that direction.

    If it looked like it's flowing up then it wouldn't "work." You follow the water from the waterfall down, then as it flows horizontally for a while, and everything seems normal, except that you've somehow gotten back to the top. At that point you get the standard "WTF?" Escher moment.

    Wow. Way to fucking miss the point.

    I'd say it's you who missed the point. His point is that believing you are doing the right thing is not good enough. You may be mistaken, and in your zeal do more harm than good.

  22. Re:DRAM is veeeery cheap on DRAM Price Fixing · · Score: 2, Funny
    Where did I say that I considered RAM unfairly priced, then?

    Well, that was the topic. I didn't realize you were intentionally posting something that just sorta sounded like what was being discussed, but actually had nothing to do with it.

  23. Re:DRAM is veeeery cheap on DRAM Price Fixing · · Score: 1
    As long as you still have a harddisk with an almost historic spinning platter inside, RAM is way to expensive.

    You're confusing unfairly priced with impractically priced.
    That it costs too much to replace your hard disk with RAM does not by itself mean the price is artificially high.

    Looking at this guy I was thinking the same thing. They're obviously going pretty damn fast. Any bug makes it in between that squint and that eye's not going to work very well any more.
