  1. Re:Whats it look like? on Yarn Spun from Nanotubes · · Score: 1

    Well? What happened? :-)

  2. Re:Those Dumb Chairs on Last Great Internet Bubble Auction · · Score: 1

    That Cheeky Dashiki may win points with the Pastor,
    But those tube socks with weejuns?
    The ensemble: disaster!

  3. Python + Reportlab on ActivePDF-like Reports w/ Apache? · · Score: 2, Informative
    One could try ReportLab, a Python module that allows one to create nice-looking pdf output from a python script. If you have some programming experience python should be fairly easy to pick up IMHO.

    Your apache install probably already has python enabled for cgi. You might consider modpython, which adds the interpreter in for quicker load times.

    Share and Enjoy!

  4. Re:Rant. on Rob Enderle Announces Death of Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Bluetooh a rejected Star Wars muppet that spoke "Furelise"?

  5. Re:Cool, but on The Self-Tuning Guitar · · Score: 1

    SlashDread, Dreamchaser, we need to talk... You fellows just behaved like mature adults when you could have spat childish invective at one another for at *least* 6 more posts.

    I want you two to go think about this seperately and come back when you have developed a more belligerent and cranky attitude and can live up to the standards of "flattus discourse" that Slashdot has established.

    Okay?

  6. Re:Sweetness... on The Self-Tuning Guitar · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I do not feel the humour,
    I do not get the joke,
    and I will not be a troll!
    For the geeks of Slashdot
    any longer....

  7. Re:What is he from Ork? on The Maverick and His Machine · · Score: 1

    Holy, holy crap. I don't know whether I am hating you for reminding me that Orkans age backward or hating myself for having the memory to be reminded of. All and all a very yucky experience. Shazbat!

  8. Re:Meanwhile in Russia on Trojan Horse Caused A Siberian Explosion · · Score: 1

    How about 3-phase AC?

  9. Re:Let me get this straight.... on Trojan Horse Caused A Siberian Explosion · · Score: 4, Funny

    *sigh* Just remembering the sound ass-beating I got for exactly the same logic. NEVER dip into a man's stash, son.

  10. Re:one lone voice.,. on Microsoft-Funded Linux Studies Benefit ... Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Weeping.... Weeping....

  11. And how much blacker could it get? on Natural Selection Half-Life Mod Reaches 3.0 Beta · · Score: 1

    The answer is none: None more black.

  12. Vibrating Eyeballs on TiVo Buys Super Secret Strangeberry · · Score: 1, Funny

    Did anyone else read that as STRANGLEberry? I gotta cut down on the soymilk enemas...

  13. Re:It enforces clean code on Who Needs Case-Sensitivity in Java? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Python strongly encourages it. :-)

    Perhaps syntax errors should cause your monitor to explode. I think using deprecated modules already does.

    Let me check....

    Python 2.2.3 (#42, May 30 2003, 18:12:08) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on Your Mom
    Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help

    AAAIIIGH! Mine EYES!

    Aye.

  14. Re:last ditch effort before their plan blows up on SCO Files Suit Against Novell Over System V Ownership · · Score: 1

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhghghghghg!

    Mod this evil, evil human as funny please.

  15. Re:one way ticket to mars on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    Hey, Lance Bass may be a Boy-Pretty, Fancy-Pants Wimp-Rocker, but he does put his money where his mouth is regarding space exploration... and that makes him OUR Boy-Pretty, Fancy-Pants Wimp-Rocker!

  16. Re:one way ticket to mars on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    OOP!

    I wish you were close enough to hit with my hat, Gilligan.

  17. Nick Cave on What Was the Very First MP3 You Downloaded? · · Score: 1

    "The Mercy Seat" I was so happy.

  18. Re:Revisit Sojourner! on Spirit Rolls on Mars · · Score: 1

    Could you kindly define RTG? Is that some sort of reactor?

  19. Re:Probably on Dreams of the Moon · · Score: 1

    Heh. I remember reading an E.E. "Doc" Smith story ("Masters of Space")with much the same specs on a nuclear human.

  20. Re:Actually this is a good idea! on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    What drugs have you settled on? The yahoo's prescribed celexa (seratonin uptake inhibitor) for me. Great stuff- I couldn't wake up, have sex, or have one of them idea things for about two years.

    I got off of this crap about 3 weeks ago. Aside from some trouble sleeping within the first week, all has been well.

    I have heard that Aderol (sp?) is pretty good for us oldsters with ADD. (I am 38).

  21. Re:what a coincidence on Unix Shell Programming, Third Edition · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I now have half-chewed Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie in my keyboard.

    Damned reality...

  22. Big Pile Nad on Best Ways to Organize Bills? · · Score: 3, Funny
    "I wait 3-6 months and get a big pile nad have to go about sorting it."

    Try draining your piles with a large diameter needle about once a week. This prevents the secondary scrota formation and makes riding a bicycle much more workable. If you have such a large abundance of pile nads that they require catalogueing, perhaps you need to need to seek out an apple corer or it's surgical equivalent.

    Thanks.

  23. Worth the Bucks on Firefly DVD Set Released · · Score: 1

    Very very fine. I saw just a bit of the show when it aired and was intrigued. Truly a darn shame that it was not picked up for further seasons. The only episode that really really reeked was about the level of a really good episode of "Stargate SG-1"

    I really like the fact that things in space make no sounds! ... although someone should tell Joss that a regular bullet would work in a vacuum.

  24. Re:The 55 operating systems on 55 Operating Systems On A PowerBook · · Score: 1

    Sir, I hope that someone has had the foresight to save a quart or so of your semen in a nice bucket of liquid nitrogen. There will be dire need of a replacement should your poetical abilities be cut short by Blunt Force Truama, Senile Dementia or Martian Canal Worms.

    I salute you.

  25. Re:This Already Exists? on UserBSD vs. UserLinux - Is It Feasible? · · Score: 4, Funny

    " The nice, unix'y plumbing underneath is the cherry on top."
