  1. Ron Howard on Berman Confirms Star Trek Prequel Film Project · · Score: 1

    I thought the cooking alien with a head that looked like a cross between a basketball and Ron Howard was kind of cool, but what do I know.

  2. Kzinti first contact on Berman Confirms Star Trek Prequel Film Project · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Count me in, as long as it is about first contact with the Kzinti. (For those of you who do not know what they are, just read it and do not say it. They are NOT Xindi!)

  3. A prequel to a prequel? on Berman Confirms Star Trek Prequel Film Project · · Score: 3, Funny
    They've already gone way far back in history to do "Enterprise". A prequel before that? I know. They can do a movie about the world before the first starships were launched. About modern-day people who dream of the day when dilithium crystals will be real real, you could make love to real Romulans instead of inflated ones, and tribbles were not made of cloth.

    They could call this film... "Trekkies".

    Sorry. forgot. someone already did this.

  4. Mitsui Gold pricing. on The Myth Of The 100-Year CD-Rom · · Score: 1

    Thanks!!! First web site I found had them for about a buck a disk. Is this typical? Not complaining (since you pay for quality), but if it is easy to get them for 33 cents instead or something like that, I'd like to know.

  5. The BEST CD-R brand? on The Myth Of The 100-Year CD-Rom · · Score: 1

    This news item does have me concerned about my data. What is the top recommended CD-R brand?

  6. Preserving music using the Commodore on The Myth Of The 100-Year CD-Rom · · Score: 1

    So, not only will the Commodore disk drive provide superior preservation for your music files, it can play the music as well

  7. That does it on The Myth Of The 100-Year CD-Rom · · Score: 4, Funny

    That does it. I'm converting all my mp3 collection to 8-track tapes. Does anyone know of a good 8-track tape recorder that mounts in a typical tower 5.25" drive bay to make this easy?

  8. By bye Branson on Highest Human Elevation Using a Rocketbelt · · Score: 1
    ...an American acting totally insane won't get noticed, since we all act that way anyway. (I kid, of course. There are some pretty weird Brits out there, too.)

    How long before Richard Branson gets the idea to try and try again to go 'round the world in a rocket belt?

  9. 64 rocket men on Highest Human Elevation Using a Rocketbelt · · Score: 3, Funny
    "Stacking rocket men. 64 men, one atop the other, reaching to the heavens!"

    64 rocket men on the pad, 64 rocket men. Launch one up, notify next-of-kin, 63 rocket men on the pad.

    63 rocket men on the pad, 63 rocket men.....

  10. A word from Ted Kennedy on Highest Human Elevation Using a Rocketbelt · · Score: 1

    "Oh. You said flying cahs! I thought you said.... oh neva mind."

  11. "Down" button? on Highest Human Elevation Using a Rocketbelt · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Down button? What do you mean there is NO down button?"

    "Cool your jets, Jetson (hehe). You'll come down when it runs out of fuel. That will happen soon enough, you'd better believe it."

  12. Lars. on FBI Raids Arizona School District Over Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Lars is much more of a Swedish name.

  13. Locker raids on FBI Raids Arizona School District Over Copyright Infringement · · Score: 4, Funny

    Let's snicker at the image of non-tech-savvy FBI agents busting open lockers: "Lars, do you see MP3's in this locker?" "No, Phil. Not yet. What do they look like anyway?" "Not sure, Lars. Maybe we can go back to the office and get a special kind of dog that sniffs for MP3's. That will save us a lot of trouble".

  14. Is the mouse named Heather? on A Mouse With Two Mothers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    See subject.

  15. Oops. Misread it on Chinese Government Cracks Down On Foreign MMOs? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought at first that is said "China cracks down on Foreign MAO's"

  16. Here is who John Galt is: on IT Workers Not Eligible for Overtime in New Rules · · Score: 1
    John Galt was:

    The revolutionary physician who supervised America's first public asylum.

    A novelist in the first half of the 19th century.

    Yes, there were two.

  17. What do you get a Ferengi-Elf mixed couple? on What's Geekier Than a Ferengi Bridesmaid? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What do you get a mixed couple consisting of a Ferengi and an Elf? A set of Silmarils that they can sell to the highest bidder?

  18. Thanks for the answers on Fourteen Digital Music Players Reviewed · · Score: 1
    If it matters to the Slashdot crowd, its manager software does NOT work well in Linux

    Thanks for the answers, all. And unless you are new to Slashdot, you will realize that "how well it works in Linux" DOES matter here. Soon you will also realize that the Borg Bill Gates icon is not a compliment, not a "Trekkie denotation of love for this man who has given us so many great products".

  19. This might be off-topic on Fourteen Digital Music Players Reviewed · · Score: 1

    This might be off-topic, but does anyone remember the name of that MP3/etc player that is shaped like a cassette and plays inside a cassette tape player?

  20. Jack Valenti on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, Jack Valenti, not only does this mean more downloading of pirated movies, it brings us closer to the day when the average 13-year old with an average computer will be able to download all of Hollywood in less than 45 minutes. Sleep while you can, Jack.

  21. The first result we will see of this on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The first result we will see of this is that higher bandwidth will mean many thousands of spams delivered per day instead of just a couple hundred in my inbox.

  22. President John F. Curry on India Starts All-Electronic National Elections · · Score: 3, Funny
    We're outsourcing the president?!?

    See subject.

  23. Some new L products on LinSpire LPhoto and LSongs: bring on the lawsuits! · · Score: 4, Funny

    Linspire, I'd like you to meet Lawyer, Lawsuit, Layoffs, and finally Languish.

  24. LayFair? on LinSpire LPhoto and LSongs: bring on the lawsuits! · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is the Lmusic module protected by FairLay DRM? How long before the LayFair lawsuits and LPods?

  25. Censoring foreign culture on Academics Take On Government Net Censorship · · Score: 1
    Seems to work well for music, there's lots of good canadian music. Hasn't been so successful with tv.

    If there is "lots of good canadian music" only as a result of censoring foreign content, you really have to wonder how good it really is. You know, if you ban Linux/*IX/*UX and Mac OS, then no-one can deny that Windows is the best OS out there!

    this isn't censorship, no message is being rejected or filtered.

    Censorship based on supposed national/ethnic/etc content is a time-honored part of the censorship picture. No message is being rejected or filtered....unless it is foreign, of course. Then it is OK to censor it?
