  1. Where are the Good Questions? on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As of this moment, my question to Mr. Wheaton: What's it like to do a /. interview where the top 10 questions were modded at level 2? (the only 5s are "funny").

  2. Microsoft Faith on Windows 2000 SP5 Replaced With Update Rollup · · Score: 1
    Because Microsoft believes the Update Rollup will better meet the needs of customers...

    Do they believe in Santa Claus, too?

  3. A Tsar? on U.S. to Get New IP Czar · · Score: 1

    What has a republic of free citizens got to do with all these Tsars? It's authoritarian, I tell you.

  4. Priviliges are Earned on Managing the Online Teenager? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    By being able to shoulder the responsibilities. If they can't handle the responsibilities of being part of a family ("participate in civilized social interaction with your family"), you pull the privileges.

  5. Re:Where are the computers? on Managing the Online Teenager? · · Score: 1
    If I had no computer in my room when I was growing up, I have no idea where I would be today.

    Probably on skid row drinking Thunderbird out of a brown paper bad, or in Hell's Angels.

    You talk about computing like an evangelical talks about their conversion.

  6. Have You Considered... on Electronics Projects for 12-Year-Olds? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    making a Tesla Coil?

  7. Re:You're wrong. on Valve Cracks Down on 20,000 Users · · Score: 1
    Will Valve directly deposit a large sum of money into my checking account monthly?

    No! Valve has got a lot of nerve trying to get the business of decadent self-absorbed lazy blobs!

  8. Law of Unintended Consequences on Robots to Rid Us of Cockroaches? · · Score: 1
    ... scientists say its invention is a breakthrough in mankind's struggle to control the animal kingdom

    The law of unintended consequences has not been repealed, as far as I know.

  9. Re:Like rats.. on Colin Powell Resigns · · Score: 2, Funny
    ..leaving a sinking ship.

    To be replaced by other rats swarming up from the bilges.

  10. Now _this_ is Conservative on Iraq law Requires Seed Licenses · · Score: 1
    ... saving seeds for next year's harvest, practiced by 97% of Iraqi farmers in 2002, the standard farming practice for thousands of years across human civilizations

    What a very conservative argument! If you argue like this and agree it's valid, you are conservative. If this isn't a good argument for you, you are an Enlightenment Liberal (which includes Bush "Conservatives").

  11. Re:Not clear? on Are Your Peripherals Monitoring You? · · Score: 1
    The problem is, capitalism is fleecing the privacy of people...

    Yes, it's captitalism that's doing it. And here I thought it was the Martians! Par for the /. course.

  12. Re:Lawn Darts on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Or even better: a BB Gun.

  13. Re:As for the 'soul' experiment... on Science's Limits Are Only Self-Imposed · · Score: 1

    And not only that, check my sig. Hoist by my own petard!

  14. Re:As for the 'soul' experiment... on Science's Limits Are Only Self-Imposed · · Score: 1
    And here I thought I was the only one who measured volume in units of 1992 Honda Accord Engines' Displacement Worths.

    Well, that's the car I drive and it has a 2100 CC engine, and I needed a nice easy image. Of course, for those of us who aren't car junkies, 2100 CC of displacement doesn't mean a lot, but if an engine has it, it must be a lot!

  15. Re:As for the 'soul' experiment... on Science's Limits Are Only Self-Imposed · · Score: 2, Informative

    21 grams' worth? Take a deep breath, really deep. Air is 1.029 Kg/m**3 (at 70F). For 21 grams, that's .0204 cubic metres, or 20,408 cubic centimetres, or about 10 1992 Honda Accord engines' displacement worth.

  16. Re:Weed Out Unqualified Voters on How Would You Change U.S. Election Procedures? · · Score: 1
    I assume you aren't serious.

    You would be wrong.

  17. Weed Out Unqualified Voters on How Would You Change U.S. Election Procedures? · · Score: 1
    Need to weed out voters who should not be voting:
    • Illegal Immigrants;
    • People who don't know who their Representative and Senators are;
    • People who receive government funds (a clear conflict of interest!)
  18. Venerable? on What's Next For Mozilla? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Venerable?! "Commanding respect by virtue of age, dignity, character, or position." Who are you kidding? Yourself, mainly.

  19. Re:Bells etc. on China's Superior Technologies · · Score: 1

    What town in NY do you live in? Sounds like a redneck backwater.

  20. Re:Pegasus Mail! on No-Click Phishing On The Way · · Score: 1
    It is upto an individual to select if they want a rich experience in their emails.

    "Rich experience" is marketing gas for "style over substance."

  21. Slashdot on Network Performance Testing? · · Score: 1

    I just bribe Taco to get my site posted to /., and ka-boom! Network Load Test with Full Congestion.

  22. Re:Exit polls would throw the election on Slate Posts Top-Secret Exit Polling Numbers · · Score: 1
    BTW: if you're reading this and you haven't voted yet, GO VOTE.

    If you are an ignorant moron, for the sake of the Republic, DON'T VOTE.

  23. Re:Wal*Mart may do that for us inadvertently. on How to Get Music Off Your iPod · · Score: 1
    Wall*Mart is NOT good for America.

    People who have an interest in healthy communities think Wal*Mart is bad. Among libertarians Wal*Mart is hailed as a gift from the FreeMarket god.

    As for me, Wal*Mart is good only so I can go there and feel thin again.

  24. Re:The Art Worst Editing on The Art of Cable Folding · · Score: 1
    Slashdot began it's rapid slide downhill once they all moved away from Holland and let Timothy run amok with Your Rights Online, which simply turned Slashdot from a decent science and IT geek site into a whiny under-18's bitch fest about topics the posters barely understand. Bah.

    It's America, the personal is the political. And GNU idealizes the subset: the technical is the political (use GNU software as a blow for liberty!). It gets old after a few years, but while you're young and stupid, it's energizing.

  25. Documentation on Funniest IT Related Boasts You've Heard? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Good code is self-documenting."
