  1. Re:FOX on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 4, Funny

    Fox executives give Morbo gas.

  2. Right Price on Why Paywalls Are Good, But NYT's Is Flawed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I like the NYT content enough to pay a flat $5/month for all web access combined. If they would hit that "why not?" price they should get plenty of subscribers. Above that and I really ask myself if it is worth it. $35/month is getting close to cable TV pricing, so I don't know what they are thinking with that.

  3. Favorite Kirk Quote on Happy 80th Birthday, William Shatner! · · Score: 1

    "Kif, I have made it with a woman. Inform the men."

    At least I think that was Kirk, it all kind of blurs together...

  4. Re:I think... on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 2

    Taggart: Well, that's where we go a-ridin' into town, a-whompin' and a-whumpin' every livin' thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.
    Hedley Lamarr: You spare the women?
    Taggart: Naw, we rape the shit out of them at the Number Six Dance later on.
    Hedley Lamarr: Marvelous!

  5. Soundtrack by Randy Newman on The Hobbit Finally Starts Shooting · · Score: 5, Funny

    They got little baby legs
    And they stand so low
    You got to pick 'em up
    Just to say hello

  6. Re:New round of AT&T / T-Mobile commercials on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    The new commercial features Locutus and the Borg Queen.

  7. Re:Offtopic, I know on Citation Map Shows Top Science Cities · · Score: 1

    "It's its own separate, crazy entity."

    Crazy like a Fox (News commentator)!

  8. Re:they don't want the footage of godzilla to get on Japan Reluctant To Disclose Drone Footage of Fukushima Plant · · Score: 1

    They can't stop it. Between bittorrent and fan subs, we will be watching the mighty lizard moon dance on the containment vessel soon enough.

  9. Re:Recommendation: Buy Up Rights to Make New Class on Netflix To Start Creating Original Content · · Score: 2

    The biggest problem for some of the shows you mentioned is that the brain dead morons at the networks moved them unpredictably around to different time slots during a season and sometimes showed them out of order. It seems to be a repeated strategy to strangle ratings and kill a show.

    With Netflix, all of that BS goes away: you can watch when you want and in the order you want.

  10. Re:Bad Bill on Utah Governor 'Honored' With Blackhole Award · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "...the main issue was the cost of storing all the data and accessing it"

    Funny, politicians never consider that when imposing (usually surveillance related) requirements on private business.

  11. NASCAR Solution on NASA Buys 12 Seats On Soyuz · · Score: 2

    Put US Flag stickers all over the exterior of the craft like the advertising on NASCAR vehicles. Our fragile ego is saved, problem solved.

  12. Re:It is a pity on Richard Stallman: Cell Phones Are 'Stalin's Dream' · · Score: 1

    "A mobile is for my convenience, not other peoples."

    That's very selfish of you. How else are you going to find out about FREE ROYAL CARRIBEAN CRUISES or AFFORDABLE MORTGAGE RELIEF? Plus your mom wants to ask you for help with her computer problems.

  13. Re:Kiler feature: on Microsoft Reportedly Ends Zune Hardware Development · · Score: 1

    Bukkake fans?

  14. It's all in the name. on Microsoft Reportedly Ends Zune Hardware Development · · Score: 1

    They should have called it Happy Fun Ball, then nobody would taunt them.

  15. Re:ample? on IPad 2 Teardown Shows Tablet's Guts · · Score: 1

    That should be enough for anyone.

  16. Re:WARNING: devxo is a Microsoft shill on IPad 2 Teardown Shows Tablet's Guts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe devxo is just a compulsive fanboy. Slashdot has more than a few of those hanging around. Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by someone clicking away in their mom's basement.

  17. Colossus: The Forbin Project on Ask Slashdot: Worst Computer Scene In TV or Movies? · · Score: 1

    Every last human character in the movie was continuously smoking and drinking Scotch. After subjugating the human race the damn computer criticized the heavy drinking of the main human character. The computer threatened to destroy the world with nuclear weapons, why would it care about a cocktail?

  18. Re:All of them. on Ask Slashdot: Worst Computer Scene In TV or Movies? · · Score: 1

    "War Games had a measure of accuracy..."

    Except where horny teenager David did not go to town on flirty Jennifer.

  19. Re:You'll miss them in a disaster on King Wants To Sell Out Ham Radio · · Score: 3, Funny

    "I bet you'll be going to them and asking for their help."

    Dot Dot Dot, Dot, Dash Dot, Dash Dot Dot - Dot Dash Dash Dot, Dash Dash Dash, Dot Dash Dot, Dash Dot

  20. The Apple Way on IOS 4.3 Now Available For Download · · Score: 2, Funny

    You are not fit to use Apple products because your desires run counter to the "Apple Way". Only the most cretinous of slack jawed yokels would suggest Apple's change to a mute button is anything but insanely great magically different genius.

    "I personally welcome the feature to make the 'mute button' on the iPad back into the screen orientation lock."

    Oops, never mind. Welcome back into the fold.

  21. Be Deliberately Worthless on A Letter On Behalf of the World's PC Fixers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    If that does not work, get a copy of the tech support script from... well, pretty much any tech company in existence. Then read it with a sloooooow ruuuural draaaaawwwl. If they interrupt you, then look confused and start over at the beginning.

  22. Re:Verily, I am scrod on Unmasking Anonymous Email Senders · · Score: 2

    Information for /. readers: A scrod is a fish *and* is the model of car with large fins driven by Ratliff in the comic strip Eye Beam by Sam Hurt.

  23. HAL Sees It Coming... on Getting Computers To Recognize Facial Expressions · · Score: 1

    Be sure to wipe the monitor clean when you are done, Dave.

  24. Re:Good on Taiwanese OEMs Consider ARM Products For Windows 8 · · Score: 2

    "VLIW, like in high-performance DSP's and certain niche processors, is the future."

    I want an Itanium in my iPhone!

  25. Re:Good on Taiwanese OEMs Consider ARM Products For Windows 8 · · Score: 2

    It's been a long, long time since I've used assembler for a driver in Windows (Win 3.1/95) era, and I've never needed it for Linux. Even for core kernel devs it is more the exception than the rule. These days, the ultimate language of all time, C, rightfully rules for these tasks.
