  1. Re:Farmers on Pushing 800W of Wireless Power at 5 Meters · · Score: 1

    ...barley enough electricity to run a watch.

    Farmer pun! Awesome!

  2. It's About Time on Next G8 President Wants To "Regulate the Internet" · · Score: 5, Funny

    The efficiency of a multinational organization and
    the effectiveness of the Italian president will finally
    make my internet experience safe and unoffensive.
    This truly is a golden age.

  3. Re:Not good... on Battlestar Galactica Gets Spinoff Prequel Series · · Score: 1

    All the proto Cylons will talk like Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century:
    "biddi-biddi-biddi"

  4. Intersting Tomb Contents on World's Oldest Marijuana Stash Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    The tomb also contained bridles, archery equipment and a harp...

    The ancient equivalent of car keys, a gun, and an electric guitar.
    Considering how much weed there was I say this was
    probably an ancient rock star and not a shaman.

  5. Re:From my cold dead hands. on What Needs Fixing In Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    ANYONE that says GUI and kernel in the same
    sentence should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

    Here is your ticket, all aboard!

  6. Re:This just in! on Diet of Fast Food and Candy May Cause Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    Living will kill you.

    Are you sure? It hasn't so far.

  7. Quake Mod? on "Cyber Monday" Expected To Draw Virtual Crowds · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I think Cyber Monday would be more fun
    if you had a Quake like interface to capture purchases
    and kill your competitors (fellow shoppers).

    "Announcing a PS3 special for $199 to a hardy victorious few."

  8. Re:Will on Arranging Electronic Access For Your Survivors? · · Score: 2, Informative

    How can you include your passwords in your will if you change the password regularly?

    I did my will recently. The basics (executor/beneficiaries/provisions)
    are in the will proper which is witnessed and notarized. This document says generically that everything I own is divided between the beneficiaries without enumerating every asset.

    Detailed information like accounts, passwords, and people/organizations to notify are kept in a separate 'instructions for executor' document which is not witnessed or notarized and can be easily and frequently updated.

  9. Re:Time for Qs to come back on Google Map To Real Piracy · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...any real solution has to change something within Somali territory

    Pave the entire country and turn it into permit required parking.
    Then deny parking permits to all of the pirates.

  10. Is that picture really necessary? on Woman Unable To Recognize Voices, Unless It's Sean Connery · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think we have all seen enough of Sarah Palin.

  11. Re:Two steps from the highest, actually on Secure OS Gets Highest NSA Rating, Goes Commercial · · Score: 3, Funny

    My computer goes to EAL11!

    The power of God blazes out of the box to melt the faces and explode the heads of intruders,
    just like in Raiders of the Lost Mainframe.

  12. Re:They made that? on AIX On the Desktop Is Getting the Boot · · Score: 2, Informative

    AIX was available on x86. Years ago (around 1991?) IBM gave my company an AIX package for PS/2 hardware. Gobs of diskettes, pounds of printed docs. It seemed clunky and we never did much with it, but it was there. Of course the PS/2 Model 80 (i386) it was installed on was a slothful piece of crap.

  13. Re:Thats too bad. on New TN Law Forces Universities To Patrol For Copyright Violations · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...seems like the population doesn't get to participate in democracy anymore.

    The population has access to all the democratic participation that they can afford.

  14. Re:Uh oh on New Star Trek Trailer · · Score: 1

    Evil Spock: Mr Aeonite, your agonizer please.
    Aeonite: But Mr. Spock...

    Aeonite: Here yah go...

  15. Re:Culture shock. on Give One Get One Redux, OLPC XO-1 Now On Amazon · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...boxers and a stained sports t-shirt

    Classic casual wear!
    Mix and match with tighty whities and a Cheetos
    encrusted Hawaiian shirt for a variety of stylish looks.

  16. Factors to Consider on Unhappy People Watch More TV · · Score: 5, Funny

    Stoned people also watch a lot of TV.
    The stoned people I know seem pretty happy.

    The important thing is to balance the TV time with video games.

  17. Re:Navy's response. on US Supreme Court Allows Sonar Use · · Score: 1

    What's the point in having a machine that goes 'ping' if you can't use it properly?

  18. Re:Does anyone use this OS any more? on Microsoft's "Dead Cow" Patch Was 7 Years In the Making · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...stop telling suits that all they need to administer Windows is someone with one finger

    Damn skippy! Alt-Ctrl-Del takes three fingers.

  19. Re:A matter of time. on 40 Years Ago, the US Lost a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Santa is an Al Qaeda operative.
    It was originally planned for him to fly his sleigh into the twin towers,
    but some of his reindeer broke down the night before.

    Fox is a great source for this kind of balanced hard hitting news.

  20. Re:I may be in the minority here... on Activision On Iterating, Innovating Call Of Duty Series · · Score: 1

    The gunship really has a 'stress relief' charm to it.
    They could make a really nice mini game based on that alone.

    Just add some familiar maps, say Redmond or Washington DC.
    Imagine putting some 105 rounds into the capital dome
    and then switching to the 25mm gatling gun to finish off the lobbyists scurrying for their BMWs.

  21. Is this Dilbert or Slashdot? on Former IBM Exec Ordered To Stop Working For Apple · · Score: 4, Funny

    An executive named Papermaster?

  22. Re:As a Brit... on U-Turn On UK ID Cards · · Score: 1

    ...stuck with the same leadership over here for likely another 18 months

    We can cut you a great deal on a low mileage used executive.

    If W can pretend to be from Texas, I'm sure he can fit in over there.
    Come on, you know you want another King George.
    We'll even through in Uncle Dick for free (shotgun not included).

  23. Re:La Source on Circuit City Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...passes the name and costume to someone in the next generation

    I'm thinking the next move will be to
    "Radio Shack - Head Shop and Erotic Toys"

    I'm sure they will continue selling batteries for the various lifestyle accessories.

  24. Re:vi will become the national text editor too on Bill Joy For New National CTO Post? · · Score: 2

    I wager 400 quatloos on the new comer emacs.

  25. Re:No need on Bill Joy For New National CTO Post? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, because that approach has worked so well with the financial industry.
