  1. I absolutely do not like it!!!! on Reviewers Pile On World Of Warcraft Beta · · Score: 1

    ..well... uhh.. ergghh..fffffffffffffffinee.. YES! I LOVE IT! GIVE IT TO MEEEE!

  2. Re:Whatever it is... on How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What if you put a scram jet ON a segway!? That's fun for the whole family!

  3. Unfortunate on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 1

    Too bad that the people who have already settled with the RIAA didn't have this information in hand, at the very least, it could have lessened their settlement.

  4. Re:Yeah, right on Gates: Hardware, Not Software, Will Be Free · · Score: 3, Funny

    >

    It's hanging out with your happily house-chained June Cleaver 1950's wife in your fully mechanically automated home of the future!

  5. The Blue Pill or the Red Pill... on The Paradox of Choice · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    See what choice gets you!

    and look! even YOU get to choose whether this is insightful or funny or iformative or redundant or flamebait or troll or you could even choose not to moderate or respond in any way.. you can choose to post anonymously or as your slashdot id...!

    You could click your another browser button right now you could just hold your breath until your pass out!

    Only *you* can choose to prevent forest fires!...or CREATE them! Do you take the one ring or destroy it!

    I choose to stop now..

  6. Re:Mach 10 on X-43A Hits Mach 7 · · Score: 1

    or two put it in our corporate masters terms..

    "New York to LA in 25 minutes!"

  7. OUCH! on Two-Fisted Computing · · Score: 0, Redundant

    At between $400-$600 per device.. That two fisted computing is gonna cost you two fistfuls of cash...

  8. I bought life of Brian on DVD... on Always Look on the Bright Side of Life · · Score: 1

    I never stop laughing at this genius film! Each time I find something subtle and new to laugh at... Leave it to Monty Python to show us all how stupid we can be! ..and ***IMHO*** to show us the true meaning of Christ's message. Truth is always funny!

  9. Re:sounds cheap compared to... on Debunking the Trillion-Dollar Space Myth · · Score: 2, Funny

    or a strike from some rouge asteriod! ...from the red light district of space!

  10. Re:Cheating a valid strategy on Epic Cracking Down On UT2K4 Cheaters Already · · Score: 1

    IMHO cheaters fall into two categories, those who couldn't care less about playing well..they just want to win by any means necessary.

    Those who want to cause grief to others and just ruin the game for their own amusement. I believe that most, from what I've personally witnessed, fall into this category.

    It's a basic sociopath mentality... positive reinforcement through cruelty.

  11. Could it be!? on UFO Streaks Through Martian sky · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've had a 1989 Yugo in orbit around Mars for about 10 years now! I miss that car.

  12. Let's hope they improve the writing... on War of the Worlds Remake · · Score: 1

    Let's hope they don't screw up how computers are portrayed like they did in Jurassic Park. I for one shudder at the thought of some pre-teen girl saving the planet by sitting at a computer with a pretend real-life operating system.

    Que-Spielbergian happy ending music.

    I want War of the Worlds to be DARK... and foreboding.. not an frosting coated commercialism based action film

  13. Re:the obvious answer on BitTorrent Gains Corporate Support · · Score: 1

    Because "everyone else" is still in principle doing the same thing as the absuers, but just less. Trading 10 bandwidth tryants for 10,000 isn't progress.

    Actually, yes it is.. slow progress, but progress none the less.

  14. Re:Completely misses the point! on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have to say that some women give other women a bad name. My mother wants to get a computer but thinks she is too stupid to buy one. Now my mother is in fact not stupid at all and I actually have to argue with her that she is smart enough to learn computing..

    When she walks into a store and says "I don't know what kind of RIM or ROM it needs" I can easily see how salespeople would develop an impression that women in general are not that bright when it comes to computers. In actuality, women IMHO don't mind not knowing something and asking to be informed where as a man wouldn't be caught dead not knowing what the hell he is talking about..

  15. Re:Music sharing may be legal in US too! 17 USC 10 on Burnt Coffee and Burnt CDs · · Score: 1

    In short: It states that the manufactures are not responsible for what the customers choose to do with their products. I don't know where you drew from this that the customers therefore have the right to "the "sharing" of digital music files".

    So your interpretation of the law differs from his..? Why is yours correct and his incorrect?

  16. Re:"If he committed no crime in his home country" on World's First Warez Extradition Decided Soon · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So how is an Australian held subject to U.S. law.. AFAIK... he doesn't have the right to vote in U.S. elections. So we would be holding him subject to laws in a country in which he has no representation.

    This just underscores my prediction on how the internet will eventually lead to world government.

  17. Re:Does this surprise us? on Baystar Confirms Microsoft Behind SCO Investment · · Score: 1

    >

    Agree or disagree and like it or not, that sounds like a perfect description of the United States *IMHO*.

  18. I tried it... on Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life · · Score: 1

    //Girlfriend/sexlife is not accessible. Network Path not found. You may not have permissions to use this network resource. Please contact your system adminitrator.

  19. I paid too much for DRAM in 2002! on DRAM Price Fixing Investigations · · Score: 1, Funny

    but I have good news... .. I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!

  20. Re:For all the overtly religious people... on NASA Says Mars Once "Drenched With Water" · · Score: 1

    Where science and the possibility of life outside of earth meet, there is invariably overtly religious people who crawl out of the wordwork with Bible in hand to dispute things..

    My point was.. be careful in using religion to try and refute science because more often than not the church is the one proven to be in error.

    It was more of a point about the possibility of extra terrestrial life than of the existence of water on Mars...

  21. For all the overtly religious people... on NASA Says Mars Once "Drenched With Water" · · Score: 1

    who dispute science with religion belief..

    I have two workds for you..

    *Giordano Bruno*

  22. It's time to crash the moon into mars! on NASA Says Mars Once "Drenched With Water" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Add some mass to the planet for added gravtiy, massive heat increase to melt the ice caps and creat liquid water...

    Make it pay per view to keep it profitable!

    We can call it a Weapon of Mass Creation!

    WE CAN'T LOSE!

  23. Bias is in the people not the coin... on Science of the coin-toss: Bias in Heads-or-Tails · · Score: 1

    IMHO I think the results show less of a bias for actual coins and more of a bias for human motor skills involved in flipping the coin.

  24. Re:Pay attention... on Ford Testing a New 'Traffic Monitoring' Device · · Score: 1

    What? About things of outrage being commonplace today?

    How about social security numbers.. During the 60's it was considered a great invasion of privacy, today it's very common for all manner of institutions to ask for your SS#...

  25. Pay attention... on Ford Testing a New 'Traffic Monitoring' Device · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That which causes outrage today is commonplace tomorrow...

    Technology is like fire... if you don't keep a careful eye on it and keep it under control, what was your servant becomes your master...

    That's all I'm saying... make sure such useful technology doesn't become abused... It's a duty to those who wish to remain free.

    "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
