  1. Re:Sad on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 4, Funny
    Crap like this makes me become seriously disenchanted with Slashdot.

    Really?

    It keeps me coming back for more...
    just like Big Macs and nicotine.

  2. Incomplete on Linux on a Used Cash Register: Reloaded · · Score: 4, Funny
    ... abandoned, ruined or otherwise vacant

    In that case, they should have somehow involved the vi editor.

  3. Decrypted from a Linux kernel binary... on Hydan: Steganography in Executables · · Score: 1

    'Copyright SCO' and 'Darl Rules!'

  4. Re:Copyright Weasel Names on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1
    I can't think of a better name than Hilary.

    Yow! This election year is twisting my mind. I first thought you meant Clinton (crass partisan jab) instead of Rosen (valid animal comparison).

  5. Re:hrm... on Technology Review Profiles Miguel de Icaza · · Score: 1
    ...MS clipy fan.

    Microsoft is such a thieving monopoly, they wouldn't even cough up an extra p.
    Damn you Bill Gates!

  6. Re:Too much tech in cars already on Remote-controlled Bolts and Screws · · Score: 2, Insightful
    ... a muffler that didn't make it sound like a jet engine on takeoff

    I wish I had mod points for you, because this is +5 Insightful (if a little off topic). The mentality that drives unnecessarily and excessively loud motorcycles (HD rumbly types) reminds me of people blaring the car stereo with windows down. The only purpose is to cause others grief. And don't get me started about the kids on my lawn.

  7. Re:Yes! on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 2, Funny
    before he decides it's time to go on...

    Even if he dies, his family will probably hire the 'Police Academy' people to pimp, er, pump out a few more golden kernels. And with the Sonny 'Look Out For That Tree!' Bono Perpetual Copyright Act, it will be a never ending gravy train. Let's face it: like herpes, Star Wars will be around for a long, long time.

  8. Damn, I was hoping for... on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...Stoned Beaver

    No, seriously, this sounds *so* kewl. I wonder if it will have Ewoks in it?

  9. Re:Nail clipping on Are You Annoying? · · Score: 5, Funny
    ...why don't you complain?

    Because he's my boss. And I'm a total pussy, so I take my gripes to Slashdot where they can be totally ineffective.

  10. Know thyself! on Are You Annoying? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I like country music and beans, so the answer is no!

  11. Re:Nail clipping on Are You Annoying? · · Score: 1

    I'll second this one.

    Basic hygiene should be performed at home and not in the office! The guy across the hall from me does his clipping a couple of times per week, with each episode lasting 15 minutes. *Clip* *Clip* *Clip*. After all of that, I would expect him to have completely removed his fingers. Bah!

  12. Not just incentives... on Microsoft Pockets Patent for Encouraging TV Viewing · · Score: 1

    eIncentives!

    It's the e that makes it patentable.

  13. Re:Like Einstein? on Hawking Gracefully, Formally Loses Black Hole Bet · · Score: 1
    ..."pretty much known to be true" is timid and sugary.

    *sniff*
    Smells like Slashdot!

  14. Re:Hats on 1984 Comes To Boston · · Score: 1
    ... will you still be allowed to wear hats or other facial coverings...?

    cowboy hats - Bush has Texas residence for tax purposes, allowed
    yamaka - does not hide face, allowed
    fedora - open source link, disallowed
    viking helmet - foreign origin, disallowed
    energy dome - dorky and obscure, required

  15. Re:Solaris on SGI to Scale Linux Across 1024 CPUs · · Score: 1
    I wouldn't be surprised to see these changes in the 2.8 kernel.

    You are correct. In the fullness of time, this kind of scalability will come to Linux.
    But the next kernel version is going to be 3.0 "Erect Mongoose".

  16. Re:Let me get this straight... on GNU/Linux Clears Gov't Procurement Hurdles · · Score: 2, Funny

    A good, concise description that partisan warriors on both sides should take to heart. A divided population is just what big government wants. It is so much easier to control. Bah. The only winning move is to elect CBN.

  17. Olympics vs. Sports on Is Math A Sport? · · Score: 1

    Math may not be a 'sport', but I like the idea of such a competition in an international setting like the Olympics. Let's trim some of the fluff sports that currently litter the Olympics and add math competitions.

  18. First things first... on Texas Using WiFi to Encourage Driving Breaks · · Score: 1

    There are rest stops along I-35 (the main N-S interstate) without restrooms for crying out loud! I think a place to piss is more important than internet access.

  19. Re:This really sucks. on AMD Going Dual-Core In 2005 · · Score: 1
    Now I'll have to pay SCO $1,149 instead of $699.

    The other day Darl demanded $699 from me for a Linux license.
    "I'm not going to give you $699!", I replied.
    Then Darl said: "How about tree fiddy?"

    It was at that point I noticed Darl was really the Lock Ness monster.

  20. A Spatial Alternative on Why Users Blame Spatial Nautilus · · Score: 1

    How about old style file browse windows (ala gnome 2.4) that can be divided into 2 independantly browsable views (in the same window) by draggin a bit on the scroll bar (like MS IDE editor). Then you have the spatial aspect for copying files without the annoyance and clutter of full spatial windowing.

  21. Re:Give me a better reason to move to Austin! on Austin Becoming Wi-Fi Hot Spot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    1. Crushing traffic gridlock
    2. Rebulican redistricting that disenfranchises Austin voters.
    3. Expensive housing (maybe not as bad as Portland)
    4. Large pool of technical talent chasing fewer jobs

    I live here, and I actually like it. But in the last 10 years or so this city has a developed desperate, almost pathological need to pimp itself with dubious claims of superiority. "Live Music Capital of the World"! "Wi-Fi Hotspot!" It gets a little old, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

  22. Cheaper ways on Matsushita Designed Sleep Room · · Score: 5, Funny

    A quart of whiskey and a bag of weed has proven effective in my experience and costs significantly less.

  23. Re:While this is helpful... on Electric Armor Tested For Light Armored Vehicles · · Score: 1
    Depleted uranium dust is only dangerous if inhaled or ingested...

    I doubt it is dangerous even then. I see no warning on my box of Chocolate Frosted Uranium Crunchies breakfast cerial. So don't worry, be happy!

  24. Re:WPDO on WIPO Broadcast Treaty Creates New Legal Rights for Broadcasters · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about World Organization for Open and Free Software.
    WOOF!

  25. Re:-yawn- on Porn Beats Search Engines in Internet Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Porn and war.
    Better ways to get off and kill. Makes me proud to be human.
