  1. The IT Crowd Flashback on Linux Foundation Announces 2010 "We're Linux" Video Contest · · Score: 3, Funny

    This contest makes me think of the "sexy nerd" calendar they did in The IT Crowd.

    Shudder...

  2. Re:Currency arbitrate works well.. on India Suspended From PayPal For "At Least a Few Months" · · Score: 1

    A Hair Cut in India is 20Rs and I pay the same in US.

    45 rupees to the dollar, so this guy claims he is getting a 50 cent hair cut in the US? I guess it involves a bowl or flowbee.

  3. Re:Huh? on A "Never Reboot" Service For Linux · · Score: 1

    ...we recently pulled out all the old PDPs

    How recent? Which models? Are the old machines being made available on eBay?

  4. Re:Waiting for Recall on XCore's EduBook, a Netbook That Runs on AA Batteries · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's the current fad.

    the one who created the situation should apologize, regardless of fault or the specifics of the incident.

    That is a completely meaningless statement. You can't determine "who created the situation" without specifics of the incident. By your logic a victim of a violent crime "created the situation" by being in the same place as the criminal.

    Your one sided view defies reason. The only reason the US apologized was so China would free the US airmen they took hostage.

  6. TL;DR on Turns Out You Actually Can Be Bored To Death · · Score: 1

    Too long, died reading.

  7. Re:Marketing? What the? on An Interview With F# Creator Don Syme · · Score: 1

    ...burst forth from the loins of Microsoft

    Thanks for the mental image of a squatting Steve Ballmer...

  8. Re:Tritrium in water? Unacceptable. on Tritium Leak At Vermont Nuclear Plant Grows · · Score: 2, Funny

    How can anyone phoo phoo...

    I wonder how Stewie Griffin would pronounce this.

  9. Re:Don't do it! on Stay Off the Grid, Win $10,000 · · Score: 1

    ...hunted for sport by wealthy businessmen

    Who do you work for, Mr Burns?

  10. Re:Ah, I unplugged the atomic clock... on New Most Precise Clock Based On Aluminum Ion · · Score: 1

    After traveling 88mph in a Delorean, it's once again hammer time!

  11. Re:Alternate theory on Heavy Internet Use Linked To Depression · · Score: 1

    I'm stuck living in FUCKING CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

    You should visit the Creation Museum, it's awesome. Prepare to believe!

  12. Should have kept going... on "Calvin and Hobbes" Creator Bill Watterson Looks Back With No Regrets · · Score: 1

    We could then follow Calvin's exploits as an unemployed, overweight 30-something living in his parent's basement and posting to Slashdot while Hobbes hooks up with Susie Derkins after an ugly divorce from Calvin.

  13. Re:Let me get this straight... on Old Stems Cells Young Again — Via Vampirism · · Score: 1

    It might have been a reference to Battlestar Galactica. Remember when President Roslin was getting injected with cyclon fetus juice? It's just one more step to munchin' down. nom, nom, nom...

  14. Re:Likely to be different? on NSF Tags $30M For Game-Changing Internet Research · · Score: 1

    Uh, can I opt-out of the future?

    Sooner or later we all opt out.

  15. Re:iPad? Really? on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    Apple is not perfect.

    Heretic! No iPad for you!

    Besides, iPad makes sense as a name since it is just a large screen iPod Touch. This choice of name makes it clear even Apple thinks of it that way.

  16. Re:Don't worry on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    I liked the "In a Mirror, Darkly" version:

    Vulcans: We come in peace.
    Zefram: Kill them and take their stuff!
    Vulcans: uhh...

  18. Re:A real geeky car is a GTO. on GM Is Selling Saab To Spyker Cars · · Score: 1

    the Swedish did pioneer the moose crash-test for obvious reasons.

    I don't know why you would let a moose drive in the first place. Maybe I'm biased because my sister was bitten by a moose.

  19. Flabby Scientists on NASA Concedes Defeat In Effort To Free Spirit Rover · · Score: 5, Funny

    What a great turn of phrase: I'm not fat and lazy, I'm just a stationary science platform.

  20. Re:Oblig quote/unrelated observation on SETI Founder Outlines Ambitious Future Plans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Richard Dawkins wrote that not being able to prove or disprove something does not prevent you from assigning probabilities. There is observable scientific evidence supporting ET life: There is a huge number of stars, some similar to ours, some with planets like ours. We can't prove (yet) there is ET life, but we can say it is possible and even probable. Floating Bearded Guys in the Sky on the other hand, don't have even that.

    We are consumables.

    Combined with a form of fusion the corporations had found all the money they would ever need.

    Don't people have to cough up a license fee to implement USB? PCI? AGP?

    For USB the only fees are for using official logos to show a product passed certification testing. For PCI you pay 3K/year for a membership to get a PCI ID assigned, but there is no licensing fee I am aware of. I don't know about AGP.

  23. Obvious Solution on Prolonged Gaming Blamed For Rickets Rise · · Score: 3, Funny

    Play your video games outdoors.

  24. RFC1149 on Space Station Astronauts Gain Internet Access · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess the vacuum of space was too much of a challenge to overcome with RFC1149 IP datagrams.
