  1. Re:That first session, so long ago... on 30 Years Of Dungeons And Dragons · · Score: 2, Funny
    So he was named sponge.

    Whaaa? I always played a bard.

    <musical spock>
    Ahhhhhh... bitter dregs.

  2. Re:Blacksmith? on The Extinction of the Programming Species · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...does that mean programmers are going to be replaced by machines that can code on their own?

    Yes, but humans will survive by learning to service the machines.
    "Do you want WD-40 with that sir?"

  3. Re:Proprietary Crap on InfiniBand Drivers Released for Xserve G5 Clusters · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    We're not talking eDonkeying Halo 2 here...

    Is that the one with Mario?

  4. Re:Slashdot is not as liberal as you think on Harvard Business School Critical of Bush Economics · · Score: 1
    *dah*doot*dah*doot*!

    That's got to be good coffee.
    Strong with a hint of liberal zeal.

  5. Useful on Media Center Bathroom Extender · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now if you run out of toilet paper while on the throne, you can order refills on the internet and listen to your favorite music while you wait. You just need to add a pneumatic tube to the front door for delivery.

  6. No, not just yet... on Kerry Film Free To Download · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm going to wait for the extended version box set.

  7. Re:Followed quickly by the Bush movie in November on Kerry Film Free To Download · · Score: 1
    I'm not much of a fan of plastic spoiled rich girls...

    I remember the under age drinking incident down at Chuy's, where the secret service intervened to prevent Jenna's arrest. At that time, the Austin police were cracking down on under age drinking. They paraded cuffed college students around on TV as a warning to others.

    Jenna's tearful quote, complaining about all the attention:
    "I just want to be treated like everybody else!"

    Uh huh.

  8. Re:Lucky ladies! on Two Women Found With HIV-Immune Mutant Gene · · Score: 4, Funny
    Nasty stuff, but curable.

    Sounds like the current administration.

  9. Re:oh god ... on Gates on Spyware and OS Competition · · Score: 1
    here come the mac zealots ...

    That made me think of the scene in Starhip Troopers where they are isolated in that tiny fort and hoards of screeching aliens stampede towards them.

    Screeeeee!

  10. HDTV? on Origins Mini-Series Airs Tonight · · Score: 1

    I checked my listings and it is playing on the PBS HD channel in Austin (KLRU). Does anyone know if the content is HD? I can't find that detail on the station's web site.

  11. Re:Cosmos? on Origins Mini-Series Airs Tonight · · Score: 4, Funny
    sounds like it was lifted straight off of the Cosmos description

    Maybe they will have an introduction by an anamatronic Carl Sagan.
    Don't groan, both meat sack Sagan and robo Sagan are made of 'star stuff'.

  12. Let me guess... on Private Mars Mission Planned For 2009 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Powered by cold fusion and manned by Ewoks.

  13. This is progress on Rescue Rats to Find Buried Victims · · Score: 1

    Much more successful than the experiment with rescue grizzlies.

  14. Re:Perfect on Rescue Rats to Find Buried Victims · · Score: 1
    If it was not for mice testing, your hairspray may cost $100 a bottle.

    This gives me an image of a lab full of mice with 'Flock of Seagulls' hair.
    *Shudder*

  15. Re:XP Versus Previous Things on Less Might Be More · · Score: 1
    Have you tried to deal with 95/98/ME before? They make me cry...

    ...and Windows 3.1 makes *Baby Jesus* cry.

  16. Re:uh oh! on Is That Pirated Software? · · Score: 5, Funny
    i'm shaking in my pirate boots!

    Mighty fine ye be looking too.
    Here's a dubloon, shake it some more.

    Arrrr... it gets lonely out at sea.

  17. Extended Temp Range on Energy Efficient and Cheap Servers for Home Use? · · Score: 1

    A system that meets the low power requirements *and* can operate in extended temperature ranges would be nice. I program my home's thermostat to stop heating or cooling when I'm at work (gets to 90F during summer). Running the AC or heater just to keep my home server happy would use a *lot* more juice than the computer itself.

  18. Re:Interesting.... on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 5, Funny
    drinking a whole bottle of wine is only 500 calories.

    Whiskey has an even better buzz to calorie ratio.
    In fact, if you drink enough, the shakes will help burn more calories.

  19. Re:Who needs one... on Hobbit Hole + World Class Fallout Shelter · · Score: 4, Funny
    ...when you can just duck and cover?

    Because, when Nuclear Armageddon comes, there may not be enough ducks for everyone.

  20. Re:Dome Construction Info on Hobbit Hole + World Class Fallout Shelter · · Score: 1
    ... looked more like a low-rent trailer park

    Exactly! Every time I pass it I think: "Looks like trailer people with too much free time obtained construction equipment and materials."

    I do like the building shaped like the Enterprise space ship.

  21. Time for Teletubby Bye Bye on Hobbit Hole + World Class Fallout Shelter · · Score: 4, Funny

    Blech! I expect to see LaLa jump out of that hole in the ground.

  22. Voting and Slashdot polls on Did You VoteOrNot.org? · · Score: 1

    My biggest complaint in both cases is missing options.
    (Is Nadar the Cowbow Neal option?)

  23. Re:Reader in put required ... on The End Of DirectX As We Know It · · Score: 2, Funny
    Excersize your imagination: WGF=______________________

    Wife or Girl Friend?

    I guess that's more hopeful thinking than imagination.

  24. Last words? on Last Words On Service Pack 2 · · Score: 1

    Maybe last rites would be more appropriate.

  25. Re:Advice on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...or become someone's bitch.

    I thought he was an undergrad, not a Phd candidate.
