  1. Re:Dollar is king on The Hidden Cost of Outsourcing · · Score: 2, Funny
    i have never gotten anyone other than a native english speaker with dell

    Are you kidding?!?!

    Last time I talked to Dell support, the person on the other end was totally incomprehensible. After many repeated attempts we simply failed to communicate. I think he was from Tennessee or Kentucky.

  2. Seek advice on building high structures on Man Builds 60-foot Tower to Get Highspeed Access · · Score: 1

    Perhaps from students of a top engineering school.

    Go Aggies.

  3. Re:Who defines emergency? on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1
    ...maybe theaters should just start kicking out people whose cellphones ring

    I like the Alamo Drafthouse (theater) trailers that depict people on cell phones, or doing other obnoxious things coming to a bad end (shot, stabbed, exploded).

    Each trailer ends with the phrase:
    Talk/Call during the movie, and we will take your ass out!

  4. Re:Spurious logic on Why Vista Won't Suck · · Score: 1
    It's more accurate to say that Windows Vista sucks less.

    ...or sucks differently

    Sort of a rip off of the Apple catch phrase :-)

  5. Re:Where'd the design go? on Apple Announces Wonderful Toys · · Score: 1
    ...the kind of innovation or design that we're used to from Apple

    Perhaps you would prefer a white apple shaped unit with a black turtle neck and Mr. Potato Head ears as speakers?

  6. Re:Coming next week on Ask Slashdot... on How Does Your Personal Data Center Measure Up? · · Score: 1

    Approximately 7.58E-4 furlongs.

  7. Re:In true Aussie style: on Olympic Medalist was Spyware King · · Score: 1
    You can have him back...

    Wouldn't it be easier to feed him to the dingos?

  8. Re:Well that brings up the question... on Should We Land on the Moon's Poles or Equator? · · Score: 1
    ...when did the Poles get to the moon ahead of the Americans

    Well screw them anyways.
    We'll build our own moon base! Only with blackjack and hookers!

    Or maybe we will just 'liberate' their base.

  9. Re:Beaverl Attack: Wikipedia has NEVER been great. on Wikipedia vs Congressional Staffers [Update] · · Score: 1
    "Beavers explosively attack people with their menacing teeth."

    According the the Catholic priests on South Park, this certainly applies to the beavers of Galgameck.

  10. Re:In other news... on Making Files Available Breaking the Law? · · Score: 1
    ...the sky is blue, dogs still bark, cats meow, and down is still down.

    Inna godda da vida baby!

    What did you expect them to argue?

    Free music for the people of Earth... man.

  11. Good for Gourmet Cooks on RFID Cookware · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Even temperatures would benefit gourmet cooks more than inattentive college students trying not to burn their mac and cheese. Precise cooking temperatures without large swings command premium dollars.

    Just check out this for the extremes people will go to for this kind of control.

  12. I've seen these before on Taiwan Breeds Transgenic, Fluorescent Green Pigs · · Score: 1

    ...at a Pink Floyd concert!

    Ha Ha, charade you are.
  13. Re:This sounds like a job for.... on RIAA Bullies Witnesses Into Perjury · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ... SUAVE,

  14. Re:A pleasant suprise on Time Names Battlestar Galactica Show Of The Year · · Score: 1
    ... to whiny doubtful asian female (where's the boom baby?)

    1. In the nuclear warhead she planted on the Cylon base star.

    2. No more boom boom for this baby-san.

    3. Cowboy Neal's porn collection.

    Number two is a movie quote, but I'll still burn in Hell for repeating it here.

  15. Re:Another Note About The List... on Time Names Battlestar Galactica Show Of The Year · · Score: 4, Funny
    A million versions of CSI, a million versions of Law and Order, a million reality shows.

    ... and it only took them 3 monkeys with typewriters.
    I'm sure the suits look at that and say: 'cost effective'.

  16. Re:My fellow Christians: Strategize on Evolution Named Scientific Achievement of 2005 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "I think the planets should be renamed because they're named after fake gods."

    You are free to call the planets whatever you wish.
    But clearly what you really want is the power (through government dictate) to force others to use names that are approved by your particular religion.

    I hear a lot of Christians complain about how oppressed they are.
    In the end the complaints turn out to be about wanting the power to control others.

  17. Re:Texas law on lethal force in protecting propert on Texas Sues Sony BMG over Rootkit · · Score: 5, Funny
    Sony obviously just needs some killin', let it be.

    Sounds like a John Lennon song...
    except for the killin' part.

  18. Re:I can't believe no one has suggested the obviou on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 1
    "Office Space"!

    I find your lack of TPS report cover sheets disturbing.

  19. Re:How strange. on IT Workers Worst Dressed Employees · · Score: 3, Funny
    *AHEM* I have a penis, thankyouverymuch.

    Now *that's* accessorizing!

  20. Microsoft, Cable, and DRM? on Microsoft Announces CableCARD Support · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Reminds me of a song:

    ...Your heart's an empty hole.
    Your brain is full of spiders,
    You've got garlic in your soul.
    Mr. Gates^H^H^H^HGrinch.

    Just in time for Chistmas!

  21. Knowing simian behavior... on New Lemur Species Named After John Cleese · · Score: 1

    I bet they wave their private parts at various aunties.

  22. Barbarians at the Gate on Safe Cigarettes? · · Score: 1

    "Tastes like sh** and smells like a fart!
    Got ourselves a real winner here!"

    Of course, for a non-smoker, that applies to all cigarettes.

  23. Re:Tron Bit on FreeBSD Logo Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 1
    So does that make it the Evil Bit?

    Metallic Voice: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

    Clu: "STFU Evil Bit!"

  24. Re:Great Cheap Gaming System on How to Build a $500 Gaming Machine · · Score: 3, Funny
    Want cheaper? Keep dialing back the clock.

    2350 PRINT "THE LEMONADE STANDS WERE BEING SET UP."
    2360 PRINT "UNFORTUNATELY, EVERYTHING WAS RUINED!!"
  25. Re:This is common on The H-1B Swindle · · Score: 3, Insightful
    ... when someone says "anything that can be done cheaper should be done cheaper", they probably mean within the context of the law

    So if slavery was legal, then it would be OK?
    If memory serves, it was legal at one point.
    Just because something is legal, does not make it right or best.

    Which was my point of my original post:
    The 'anything that can be done, should be done' argument should be tempered with some ethics.
