  1. Rasta Kernel on Linus Torvalds Says Linux 4.0 Could Be Out In Three Years · · Score: 0

    ...when the sub numbers have grown in the 20's

    So we should eventually reach 4.20 ?

  2. Re:Ming Mecca on IBM Mainframe Running World's Fastest Commercial Processor · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure the mainframe crowd will know this pop culture reference, and may end up thinking of the guy with a pointy beard from Flash Gordon.

  3. Re:Yep on The Programmers Go Coding Two-by-Two — Hurrah? · · Score: 1

    Instead of the evil doctor, it will be a manager hovering over the programmer centipede screaming "Feed her! Feeeeed her!". Garbage in, garbage out I guess.

  4. Re:If I remind well on Experts Develop 3rd-Party Patch For New Java Zero-Day · · Score: 2

    Oracle screwed on OpenOffice... Oracle is screwing up over MySQL... And it looks like Oracle is screwing up over Java... I wonder what treatement gets VirtualBox...

    Larry Ellison glances at his screwdriver...

  5. Re:First Post on Google Distances Android From Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 0

    Your parent post got modded up for not understanding design patents, and you've been modded down for pointing that out. That is a sad state of affairs.

  6. Re:Universal service. on Would You Pay an Internet Broadband Tax? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If someone makes an uninformed comment, just dismiss it as uninformed. If someone says something true you find upsetting, you need to examine the root of what they say.

    I think you just may be selectively hearing things that displease you. From what I've seen, everyone everywhere says insulting things about everyone else. Right now there is probably some Norwegian making snide comments about Swedes that flies below your radar.

  7. Honorary Citizenship on Astronaut Neil Armstrong Has Died · · Score: 1

    Neil Armstrong, honorary Mooninite.
    "On the moon, our weekends are so advanced they encompass the entire week."

  8. Sounds Familiar on Judge Orders Release of Ex-Marine Detained Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 1

    "...a civil war, the Revolution is coming."

    This is exactly what Texas Republican Tom Head said recently, though with the added twist of UN troops invading Lobbock. Will he be picked up as well?

  9. Re:So... on Fathers Pass Along More Mutations As They Age · · Score: 2

    lots and lots and lots of trial and error...

    I guess Krneki has a lot of jerking off to do.

  10. Re:Not that close.. on Samsung Opens New Apple Store In Australia · · Score: 1

    It looks to me like a fairly generic "gee whiz future" kind of styling.

    I think I saw an Apple Store in Logan's Run, next to The New You.

  11. Re:there are only two correct answers... on Ask Slashdot: IT Contractors, How's Your Health Insurance? · · Score: 1

    1 or 0

    There can be only one.

  12. Re:Cover Story on Ask Slashdot: Single-Handed Keyboard Options For Coding? · · Score: 1

    ... what are you really looking to do with that other hand while coding?

    Eat Cheetos

  13. Jarring clarity on Sources Say ITU Has Approved Ultra-High Definition TV Standard · · Score: 4, Funny

    The crabs on porn stars will look like invading sci-fi monsters.

  14. Re:seriously? on Booted From Airplane For Wearing Anti-TSA T-shirt · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess a t-shirt with a hand pointing to your wife with the caption "She likes being patted down." is out of the question.

  15. Re:It's even worse on Booted From Airplane For Wearing Anti-TSA T-shirt · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm sure he was aware something like this could happen, but he had the balls to risk some heat to exercise his rights and bring attention to the stupidity of the TSA. Good for him, if more people had that kind of guts then the TSA could be tamed.

  16. Re:BYOD has nothing to do with it... on Workers Working An Extra 20 Hours a Week Thanks To BYOD · · Score: 1

    As long as the company does not abuse me, I am a happy cow. ;-)

    From Robert Plant's Liar's Dance:

    Kneel before the fatted cow
    Let's take a little moo before we go
    We won't be back again

  17. One Big Family on AT&T Defends Controversial FaceTime Policy Following Widespread Backlash · · Score: 4, Insightful

    AT&T wants to dictate how you use the data transfer you paid for by charging even more for specific applications. This plan only works if AT&T colludes with other carriers to do the same. Now we see if the industry wide collusion happens and if the government chooses to do anything about it.

  18. Re:Scandalous on The Worst Apple Store In America — An Employee Confession · · Score: 1

    It's likely the accounts given were puffed up to make it sound like big people doing exciting things. The reality is some retail employees stole stuff, did not do their simple jobs and ended up long term unemployed, probably living with mommy. Not very glamorous.

  19. Re:Absolutely not! on DEA Lack of Data Storage Results In Dismissed Drug Case · · Score: 2

    Alcohol is different I say!

    Alcohol has been tied to skinny dipping Republican congressmen. That's a pretty strong argument for prohibition.

  20. Re:Eh... on Birth Control For Men Edges Closer · · Score: 2

    Quiet down and put your nuts in the TSA scanner!

  21. Re:Is the testicle-shrinking reversible? on Birth Control For Men Edges Closer · · Score: 2

    Perhaps the loss in volume vanishes when the drug is discontinued.

    No, you grow a third testicle and people will nickname you ET (extra testicle).

  22. Re:Mod this story as Redundant on Birth Control For Men Edges Closer · · Score: 1

    [adjusts pocket protector] Women go crazy for a sharp dressed man!

  23. Re:Not to worry on Kasparov Arrested By Russian Police · · Score: 2

    The radical leftist press, e.g. alternet and the Huffington Post will of course either ignore this or suddenly decide to defend Putin.

    Huffington Post has several articles about Pussy Riot on the front page. Here is a sample. FTA: "One more thing: Fuck Putin!"

  24. Moral Orel on Kentucky Lawmakers Shocked To Find Evolution In Biology Tests · · Score: 5, Funny

    We're not making a separate test for you...

    Orel and his friend Doughy are walking back from school:

    Doughy: Orel, what was your answer for question number three of the science test?
    Orel: Jesus!
    Doughy: [slaps forehead] Of course!

  25. Re:White-balanced on Curiosity's Latest High-Res Photo Looks Like Earth · · Score: 2

    Damn, now I have that Thomas Dolby tune playing in my head.
