  1. Re:No on Does RIM's "Huge Loss" Signal Wider Handset Market Deterioration? · · Score: 4, Funny

    seeing MSFT throw the Hail Mary... they sat on their laurels.

    For some strange reason, there were no chairs left.

  2. Re:Van Art on Ask Slashdot: How To Add New Tech To Old Van? · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...a dirty van with a 20 year old paintjob and rust and a bunch of broken lawn chairs and the like strewn around

    If we call extra small portable computers ultrabooks, then you must be referring to an ultrahome.

    ...OCD when it comes to having no icons on my desktop.

    Optimally Clean Desktop syndrome?

  4. Re:SOS on HP Asks Judge To Enforce Itanium Contract Vs. Oracle · · Score: 1

    Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on... at least until Oracle snuffs it.

  5. Part of the collection? on Seth MacFarlane Helps LOC Acquire Carl Sagan Papers · · Score: 1

    Power Macintosh 7100 with the code name BHA. (funny story, look it up)

  6. Re:you what? on Game of Thrones: Bush's Head Gets a Makeover · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For all his faults, I genuinely believe that George W Bush would laugh at this and not be offended. He is a goober, but a goober with a sense of humor.

  7. Re:What's on? on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Watch TV In 2012? · · Score: 2

    Maybe, as the line at the start of the latest Futurama said: "Not sure if new episode or just rerun of episode I watched drunk..."

  8. Re:What's on? on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Watch TV In 2012? · · Score: 1

    I fail to see the drawback.

    No kidding. I pity the person who can't enjoy Naked Dragon Girly. BTW: Why didn't her clothes burn off when her dragon children charbroiled the wizard in the second season? They burned off in the first in her husband's funeral pyre.

  9. Re:Roku or AppleTV on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Watch TV In 2012? · · Score: 2

    I've got both Roku and Apple TV. The Apple TV integrates nicely with iTunes, but the Roku seems to be more open for third party content/apps (Roku "channels"). Scanning through the available channels reminds me of the early internet: some gems and a lot of crap. I actually like the crap in a public access sort of way. It's great for people with a fetish (mine is Korean dramas, on DramaFever!). $99 for the top of the line Roku, complete with motion controller and a copy of Angry Birds, is a great deal.

    Your papers please.

  11. Re:Was Jesus riding Nessie? on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's what I was thinking. If you read the bible, you notice that Jesus and Nessie were never in the same place at the same time. You can't argue with the bible.

  12. Re:Obamacare eliminates this in 2014 on Voice Algorithms Spot Parkinson's Disease · · Score: 2

    We will find out this week if that protection will be allowed by SCOTUS.

  13. Not hands on? on Witness Ridicules 'Hands-On' Reviews of Surface · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess these reviews just scratched the surface.

  14. Deck Chairs on RIM Considers Spinning Off Handset Business From Messaging · · Score: 2

    If we move them about it appears like we are doing something useful. Iceberg? What iceberg?

  15. Gobsmacked on SOPA Protests 'Poisoned the Well,' Says Congressional Staffer · · Score: 1

    I think the entertainment industry's tactic to silence the opposition is to leave them speechless from such over the top claims. "Internet at risk"?

  16. Re:let's see sound fee on top the 3d fee ontop of on Will Dolby's New Atmos 62.2 Format Redefine Surround Sound? · · Score: 1

    That sounds great, local businesses rule. I was describing a big corporate theater chain where the people making the decisions were in a different city from the actual theater. I won't mention the name of this United company showing the work of Artists.

  17. Re:let's see sound fee on top the 3d fee ontop of on Will Dolby's New Atmos 62.2 Format Redefine Surround Sound? · · Score: 1

    ...cheese-in-a-can

    It did come in a large can labeled "Cheese Product" or similar so it probably did contain some kind of cheese. It was heated in an electric pot and hand ladled on the chips. After a while a leathery burnt scab formed around the sides of the pot, so you had to periodically scrape that off. Management was very cheap, so instead of throwing that away you put it on the chips and covered it with more cheese product. I imaging the customers were unhappy when they bit into a slab of cheese scab.

    To this day I expect to be hunted down like a war criminal for my participation in those horrors.

  18. Re:Gimmick on Will Dolby's New Atmos 62.2 Format Redefine Surround Sound? · · Score: 1

    You forgot to mention one of the best parts: with tables between rows of seats you have effectively unlimited leg room, easy exit to the bathroom and nobody can kick the back of your chair.

  19. Re:let's see sound fee on top the 3d fee ontop of on Will Dolby's New Atmos 62.2 Format Redefine Surround Sound? · · Score: 3, Informative

    As a teen I worked concessions at large theater. "Butter" was indeed grease from 5 gallon jugs. Nacho "cheese" was something thick and yellow that was not cheese. Hot dogs often had green stuff on them when they came out of the box, but the green was covered by accumulated gunk (we called it seasoning) from the rollers of the heater, and could make the trip between freezer and rollers several times before purchase.

    If it's not prepackaged, be afraid. Be very afraid.

  20. Re:Absolutely not ... on Have Your Fingerprints Read From 6 Meters Away · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not if you wear Bugles snacks on the end of your fingers.

    You mean the Larrytonians? They will be protected by His Grace's divine powers.

    You gotta call 'em like you see 'em.

    The Carbon Creek episode was good.

    The save the whales movie? Ugh, might as well watch TOS The Way to Eden: Space hippies!

  25. Re:Next Gen Q on Ask Slashdot: How To Introduce Someone To Star Trek? · · Score: 2

    That seems like a joyless take on some entertaining episodes. Oh well, too each his own.
