  1. Re:I'm Confused on XKCD Inadvertently Causes Googlebomb · · Score: 2, Funny
    To paraphrase Colbert:

    I am slashdot, and so can you.
  2. Re:Red paperclip? on A House For One Red Paperclip · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, it should have been a green paperclip for the house.

    Save the red paperclip for a hotel!

    (Yes, I am missing a few Monopoly pieces. Why do you ask?)

  3. Re:And another on Top 10 System Administrator Truths · · Score: 1
    I've always been fond of the Dave Barry line
    ...based upon a study in which I made up numbers until one sounded right.
  4. So, I'm supposed to trust what a spammer says... on Spyware Based ID Theft Ring Uncovered · · Score: 2, Interesting

    about spyware? Let's face it, Sunbelt Software has a long history of spamming...

    Not to mention the entire Clearwater/$cientology thing...

    Then again, who better to look into the entire spam/spyware connection. They're simply vetting out the competition, right? What a world.

  5. Re:All your typos...doh! on New Vulnerability Affects All Browsers · · Score: 1

    Not unpossible, just crumulent.

  6. Re:SURBL? on A New Type Of Realtime Blocklist: The SURBL · · Score: 1

    Have you been rummaging through my hope chest filled with sex toys again?

  7. Re:Why PKD resonates today on Philip K. Dick's Hollywood Afterlife · · Score: 1
    Ummmm....You forgot
    We have "tax simplification" bills that only encompass 3000 pages.
    Every politician ever in the history of time has promised to lower taxes, yet not once has my yearly tax bill gone down.
    Apologies, and thanks to Dave Barry.
  8. Re:Since when do nerds talk on the phone? on Dave Barry Strikes Back Against Telemarketers · · Score: 1

    Well, originally it was a lot like VOIP, but all done in hardware...

  9. Re:Que the music on Mystery Tiles From Around the World · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is there something wrong with me if I'm hearing "wakka-chukka whakka-chukka" instead?

  10. Re:usenet is ok the way it is on Microsoft to do for Usenet what it did for Email & The Web? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sure. Just ask anyone who has been on usenet for more than, oh, let's just say 10 years, give or take.

    Don't forget to mention "The September that never ended".

    If you think usenet is fine, you weren't there when it was fantastic. Sorry you missed it -- it was really something special.

    Microsoft can't do anything to usenet that AOL (or Canter and Siegel) didn't do years ago.

    Oh, hell. I'm turning into a bitter old man already.

  11. Re:Europe? Japan? on Global Warming will Open Northwest Passage · · Score: 1

    Yes, provided that the Japan of the future would have, at high tide, enough surface area to support at least two different bonsai trees.

    Perhaps at the same time, Venice might be relocated to the top of the Apls...

  12. Re:Reliability database? on Tom's Investigates Hard Drive Warranty Changes · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was running one until last weekend, then the hard drive died on the server...

  13. Forget jail time, there's something better... on Spammer Pleads Guilty · · Score: 1

    Actually, for the few remaining spammers (especially Sam i-eat-toner Kuhri), I think that we need to decide as a society that what they are doing is sociopathic behavior. Let's lock them in mental institutions, where they obviously belong if they believe that anybody wants anything from them.

    Remove all digits to email me.

  14. Vonnegut Nonsense on New Images Of Titan's Surface Released · · Score: 1

    I hereby submit that those three bright spots should be named "sirens".

    Message ends.
