  1. Editors on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I dunno. What's the latest version of VI?

  2. Re:Different From The Old Days on Classroom Bullies On The Internet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Obligatory Weird AL:

    "If I ever meet you, I'll CTRL+ALT+DELETE you!"

  3. Thief on Game with God · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Thief series of games is all about religion. The Builders, the Hammerites, Pegans, etc. The series doesn't hide the fact that they're poking fun at religion and showing how dangerous they can be, if taken too seriously.

  4. It can be used as a weapon. on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1

    I can also use a pen to jab into John Asscroft's jgular vein. Which pen, I wonder, will be classified as a weapon? Bic or Cross?

  5. sounds? on Cassini-Huygens Saturn Orbit Insertion Imminent · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd much rather hear the sounds of Saturn than the sounds of Uranus.

    Sorry. Had to do it.

  6. CSM on Hits or Misses: Who is Your Website's Audience? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "Christian Science" Monitor.

    Isn't that like... "Act Naturally"? or "Black Light"?

    CSM Report: If you pray, your site will get hits. It will get hits because god answered your prayer. If however, you don't get the hits you want, it is due to god's will. He knows what's best for you:)

  7. GI Joes & Storm Troopers on Old Toy Modding? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess my first modding experience would fall under the "artsy-fartsy" catagory.

    I realized that every conflict has its casualties.

    I'd rip an arm off of a stormtrooper, then use red and pink modelling paint to make the injury look authentic.

    My mother sat me down one day for a talk, because she found a bloody GI Joe head and a Stormtrooper arm in the bathtub.

  8. Re:Article title on Dinosaurs Died Within Hours of Asteroid Impact, says New Study · · Score: 1

    One has to assume that, given the amount of water that is/was available, that the dinos were steamed. Like lobsters. mmmm lobster...

  9. Consume Less Calories Than You Burn on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1

    I concur with all the posters who pointed out this fact.

    It's not rocket science. You just need to conjur up your self-discipline.

    Decide how many calories you need to consume to remain healthy. Nutritional Calculator>

    Count your calories. Here

    Cardio (jumping rope, jogging, bicycling, swimming, masturbating furiously, etc), while it only burns so many calories at a time, WILL increase your "resting metabolism", thus making your body burn more calories throughout the day.

    Resistence training (lifting heavy weights.. not sissy 20-rep weight... I'm talking 4-6 max rep range) will pack on solid, lean muscle. That also increases your resting metabolism and makes sugars (carbohydrates) more likely to go to muscle than be stored as fat.

    I've got a long way to go, myself. But I am making progress. Noticable progress. I've been following This Program for a few months.

    HTH

  10. Questron on Videogames, Learning, And Literacy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Honestly, I might not have been interested in learning how to count in hex if it weren't for Questron and the Commodore 64.

    You could edit the character files in a hex editor and give yourself gazzilions of $ or HPs:)

  11. So it weighs more on Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop · · Score: 1

    How often do people put laptops on their laps anyway? :P

  12. Webcast on New US $20 bills Released, Colors & Layout Change · · Score: 1

    Here's the webcast of it. It's about a half hour long, and in WM format.

  13. sound on Duke3d in Linux · · Score: 1

    The best thing the linux programmers can do to help linux is to get the sound/music working on their port of Duke3d before the win32 programmers.

    Here's why:

    People will have to go linux in order to play Duke3d :) Ironic?

  14. Snail-Mail Spam? on Forty Percent of All Email is Spam · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much it costs the USPS from lost productivity, equipment, software and manpower needed to combat the problem of THOSE DAMNED AOL CDs!?

  15. Every week on Is The Earth's Rotation Changing? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've known this for eons. The earth's rotation slows down to a crawl every Monday, and then speeds up really really fast on Saturday/Sunday. Then it slows down again come Monday morning.

  16. Access points on train tracks?? on Pittsburgh Launches Large, Free, Public WiFi Network · · Score: 1

    Talk about "dynamic IP"!

  17. Firewalled on No More Unrestricted Internet At Work · · Score: 1

    Our agency's firewall blocks out slashdot ads:)

  18. TechScout on Yahoo News Posts Advertisements as News · · Score: 1

    In a clearly seperate box, even labeled "Advertisement". Tell me again who's trying to be sneaky or underhanded?

  19. reverse on MS Zone Users Must Use Passport Accounts · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reverse that analogy about the pool:

    If you're staying at my hotel, and swimming in my pool, I want your info.

  20. careful on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    You might be ticketed by the Rice Cops [ www.ricecop.com ]

  21. where would we be? on Email Turns Thirty · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd have to MANUALLY search for free porn, I'd NEVER get to Make $1500 Per Week At Home and I'd actually have to CALL in sick.

  22. Commodore? on The Battle Of The Consoles: From Atari To The Xbox · · Score: 1

    Where's the mention of Commodore? I remember having oodles of boxes of 5 1/4" disks with nothing but C64 games on them. Might I remind everyone of the graphics and sound superiority? Next, the Amiga. Again, superior when it came to a/v. Let's not forget also, the CD32 and the CDi systems that sold like hotcakes in Europe.

  23. Experience with IRC and depression on The Internet Might Not Be So Depressing · · Score: 1

    In my 5 years of DALnet chatting, I've seen quite a few lonely teenagers borderline, if not diagnosabley depressed. For many of these kids, IRC helped them 'snap out of it'.

  24. great.. on Fabulous Flying Machine Progress · · Score: 1

    Now crossing the street, we'll have to remember to look all three ways twice.

  25. Why the brush-off? on Concept Screenshots Of The AmigaDE GUI · · Score: 1

    I thought you all were pro-competition... The more choices, the better.. all that jazz. What I'm getting from you guys now is "There are already enough OS's and GUIs." *sigh*
