  1. Re:Can you say "class action" ? on Comcast Forging Packets To Filter Torrents · · Score: 1

    I hope folks that want to go that route opted-out from the arbitration agreement, then.

  2. Obligatory "Three Amigos" quote... on Did Producer Timbaland Steal From the Demoscene? · · Score: 2, Funny
    Lucky Day: (reading telegram:) "Three Amigos, Hollywood, California. You are very great. 100,000 pesos. Come to Santa Poco put on show, stop. The In-famous El Guapo."

    Dusty Bottoms: "What does that mean, 'in-famous'?"

    Ned Nederlander: "Oh, Dusty. In-famous is when you're MORE than famous. This man El Guapo, he's not just famous, he's IN-famous."

    Lucky Day: "100,000 pesos to perform with this El Guapo, who's probably the biggest actor to come out of Mexico!"

    Dusty Bottoms: "Wow, in-famous? In-famous?"

  3. The first thing in the user manual: on Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled · · Score: 1

    "Disconnect power before servicing."

  4. Re:obligatory on Tales from a BBS Junkie · · Score: 1

    Not me, I was too busy being stunned that we finally found the one Slashdotter who actually bathes!

  5. With all the clutter on there already... on Adware Spreads Through Myspace · · Score: 5, Funny

    With all the clutter on there already, how did anybody notice in the first place??

  6. Obligatory Frank Zappa Quote (gag me with a spoon) on Mind Control Parasites in Half of All Humans · · Score: 1

    Like, my mother is, like, a total space cadet
    She, like, makes me do the dishes and... CLEAN the cat box!
    I am sure... that's like GROSS!
    BARF OUT!
    OH MY GOD!

  7. Re:some funny math on National Archives' Digital Woes · · Score: 1
    Having 800GB of e-mail is pointless if you don't provide a means to get in and retrieve specific messages, and provide the appropriate context for that e-mail.

    That's easy. Easy-peasy. At ~2680 megabytes per account right now, give them 306 Gmail accounts!

  8. Re:2 things: on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 2, Funny
    I get the idea of a deterent but man.

    Wouldn't "a deterent but man" be the goatse guy? That unfortunately makes me wonder what things would be like if they replaced the FBI warnings with his picture... I'm sure nobody would be wanting to copy movies then!

  9. Re:Kinds of Cinema on India's Bollywood Opts for Low-Cost Digital Cinema · · Score: 1

    Of course! Nobody wants to C them.

  10. Re:Hmm.. on RIAA Trying to Copy-Protect Radio · · Score: 1

    Farting on a snare drum, you say? John Wilkes Booth, is that you?

  11. Re:issues on Intel and Laptop RAID? · · Score: 1

    In communist Russia, laptop RAIDs YOU!

  12. "Tool piracy" on Fight Woodworking Piracy: Add EULA Restrictions · · Score: 1

    I guess the only neat thing about this is that when the BWA (Business Woodworking Alliance) conducts a raid to find any pirated tools on the premises, at least it gives people the opportunity to yell "the jig is up!!"

  13. Re:Linux no access on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1
    Exclusive software sells their hardware.

    It does sell their hardware - remember the iPod? I'm sure that Apple would still love for people to shell out for new Macs just to use the iTunes Music Store, but at least this way they still sell their hardware, and since the iPod is now platform independent it won't be a roadblock for people who may decide to purchase a Mac in the future. All this for only the cost of writing the Windows version of iTunes... all the hardware and infrastructure is already in place.

  14. Re:"Can't be bothered..." on Restrictive Sales Practices on the Web? · · Score: 1

    Agreed - from what I remember from my management class, their biggest competitor at the time was National Cash Register, so to make them seem like they were a better choice for customers they named themselves International Business Machines to appear that they were a much larger company that did more than just make cash registers.

  15. Oblig. Monty Python Reference on Harry Potter in German, not Czech · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    A lawsuit from Albatros? D'you get wafers with it?

  16. Re:Um . . . on FreeCraft Cease and Desisted by Blizzard · · Score: 1
    I can't ever keep them straight.

    You think you've got it bad... I thought I was getting some fun strategy game, but all I got was this lousy van.

    Was I trying to get StarCraft or FreeCraft? *shrug* Aren't they the same? The names are so similar, I can't tell the difference!

  17. Re:Nothing a little mud wont help on UK Police Expand License Plate Camera Systems · · Score: 1

    That won't work. It's the UK, the rain'll just wash that mud right off in no time! ;)

  18. Re:Digital camera +tabletop tripod on Portable Scanner Solutions for Research? · · Score: 1

    so, would that mean that they would be shot with a canon?

  19. why scam the scammers when you can fool with them? on Fighting the Nigerian Money Scam · · Score: 3, Funny
    i mean, why bother trying to scam the scammers when you can fool with their heads instead?

    sure, there's no money in it, but everyone could use a hobby!

  20. apologies to "The Fifth Element" on Fighting Music Piracy with Glue · · Score: 1
    Are you classified as human?

    No, I am a meat popsicle!

  21. Re:I'll admit, I'm stupid. on Online Auctions Patented, eBay Sued · · Score: 1

    damn, that's one long run-on sentence!

  22. Re:New series? on BBC To Revive Doctor Who Next Year · · Score: 1
    They already ruined it with computer graphics when FOX made the Dr. Who tv movie. What I really didn't like about it was it had a plot that I think was much more complex than a typical Dr. Who episode.

    It was nice to have Dr. Who back after 12 years or so, but the tv movie really wasn't that great... I hope that the new series won't be as bad as that was...

  23. mhmm... on The Universe in 4 Lines of Code? · · Score: 1

    yeah... i think someone's been watching the movie "" a bit too much... yep.

  24. Not very likely... on This Place is Not a Place of Honor · · Score: 1

    Embarassed? Hell no... I'll be long gone by then!

  25. Re:Similar to MIT? on Hacking the Highways · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The measurement used was the "Smoot" after fraternity pledge Oliver Smoot - here's the offical story of how the "Smoot" measurement came to be.
