  1. Re:Nostalgia isn't what it used to be... on Woz Still Misses Homebrew Computer Club and Apple · · Score: 1

    Not unusual for most people to remember with inordinate fondness the times past that they have lived through.

    Is this a sly comment about the 10th /. anniversary coverage?

  2. Re:Don't forget to test twinkies as well on Mythbusters to Test Cockroach Radiation Myth · · Score: 1

    Eating Twinkies is what protects the roaches from radiation.

  3. Re:What's the internet equivalent... on Court Upholds Internet Deregulation · · Score: 1

    What's the internet equivalent of rolling blackouts?

    Comcast Broadband

    Can we expect another Enron-type extortion scandal?

    Yes. You don't seriously believe Kenny boy died do you?
    He got plastic surgery and a new identity from connections
    in the Bush administration and is even now masterminding a new
    round of 'deregulation'.

    I am the answer man.

  4. Re:Working in the Navy on Swearing at Work is Bleeping Good For You · · Score: 2, Funny

    [Comic operetta music]

    Stewie: "I'm the greatest captain of the Queen's navy."
    Sailors: "And your record will stand as proof."
    Stewie: "Be it galley or a freighter, I'm an expert navigator."
    Sailors: "And you're also a world-class poof."
    Stewie: "My manner, quite effete, is mistaken on the street. For a sailor who can pirouette on cue. Well, despite your point of view, I can thrill a girl or two... But I'd rather get it on with you."

  5. Re:Load of fear-mongering crap on Airlines Have to Ask Permission to Fly 72 Hours Early · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...Remove in airplane washroom, detonate at your pleasure

    It would be funnier to not remove it and when ready for
    detonation, tell the passenger next to you: 'pull my finger'.

  6. Re:What has to be considered on Red Hat Vows To Stand Up To Patent Intimidation · · Score: 1

    ...call back to Redmond and ask about the details

    I suspect the direct number for this kind of feedback is 1-800-EAT-SHIT.
    They might actually like that as a large number of calls
    would tell them the FUD is being taken seriously.

  7. Re:"INFO" Fuse on Stalling Cars Via OnStar · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've never liked the idea of my truck being connected to a network.

    I read something similar on Commander Adama's automotive tips blog.

  8. Re:Lunar Agriculture Link on Self-Sufficient Lunar Habitat Designed · · Score: 1

    For agriculture on the Dark Side of the Moon

  9. Re:What's new about this? on Google Patents Shipping-Container Data Centers · · Score: 1

    Was the second container for the 16K word memory upgrade?

    Wikipedia shows this model as introduced in 1963 for $400,000 or
    2.5 million in today's dollar. With a price tag like that,
    I'm glad it was still running 10 years later doing whatever it
    was that the marines were using it for.

  10. Re:Tech issues and socio-political issues. on Japanese Stealth Fighter Announced as 'Return of the Zero' · · Score: 1

    what would call that?

    Supporting the pellet gun industry?

  11. More dangerous than they look... on Klingons to Take on Furries in Bowling Match · · Score: 1

    Klingon Bowler 1: It's just a little bunny.
    Klingon Bowler 2: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up!

  12. Re:cadmium telluride thin film on glass... on Method for $1/Watt Solar Panels Will Soon See Commercial Use · · Score: 1

    ...or turning people into solar panels?

    In the voice of Chuck Heston:
    "Solar Green is made of people!

  13. Re:Security and cost- yeah right on DHS Ends Data-Mining Program · · Score: 1

    Yes, they will simply rename the program.
    Then they will hire Raytheon for 6 billion dollars to
    weld new name plates on to the existing equipment.

    The new name will be something catchy like:
    POP (Presidential Ocular Penetration)

  14. Re:OpenSolaris on Sun Says OpenSolaris Will Challenge Linux · · Score: 1, Funny

    1:1:respawn:/etc/spagetty 9600 tty1

  15. Re:No Problem on California Blocks RFID Implants In Workers · · Score: 1

    Why would flashing red be a problem?
    You can always renew. You believe in renewal don't you?

  16. Re:I didn't RTFA, but.... on Nimoy May Be the Star of the Next Trek Film? · · Score: 1

    Forget Alien vs. Predator, here comes Spock vs. Yoda.
    Get ready to rumble!!!!

    I hear Joe Pesci will play Yoda.

  17. Re:Wrong, ill tell you what SCO want on SCO Wants Summary Ruling, Wants To Appeal Unix Ownership Decision · · Score: 1

    Strong arms from "butter churning".

    Is that what they call it these days?
    I guess all those one handed surfers are Amish.

  18. Re:More to Come on Apple Now Selling Better Than One Laptop In Six · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you want titties and beer, buy a macbook.

    We *are* talking IT.
    There is already plenty of man-boob and drinking to go around.

  19. Re:Customers? on Acer to Acquire Gateway for $710 million · · Score: 1

    Their stores were what killed them.

    Yup, they took a page from Compuadd's play book:
    "This direct sales thing is great,
    but what we really need is some brick and morter!"

  20. Re:Not likely on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 1

    I prefer 'Celebrity Death Match'

  21. Re:Thank goodness on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 3, Funny

    I always felt that Peter Gabriel's song "I don't remember"
    could have been Gonzales' theme music:

    I don't remember,
    I don't recal,
    I have no memory
    of anything at all.

  22. Other artistic changes... on Wachowski Brothers and the Speed Racer Movie · · Score: 1

    Trixie will be played by Lindsey Lohan.
    Frustrated with Speed's obvious lack of interest in women,
    she ends up having sex and doing lines with Chim Chim.

  23. Motivated Youth on Teen Hacks $84 Million Porn Filter in 30 Minutes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Keeping a teen from porn is like trying to keep Vervet monkeys out of the fields.
    Unless you are willing to shoot them, it is a lost cause.

  24. Re:the eco friendly solution on Attack of the Evil Monkeys From Hell · · Score: 1

    That would only lead to more monkeys.

  25. Re:PS: on Attack of the Evil Monkeys From Hell · · Score: 1

    That was wild, man.
