  1. Still no "iPhone killer" on Windows-Based iPhone Rival for Business Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    From TFA:

    "..device designed with one-touch screen.."

    Not exactly the same as the iPhone. At least I can finally give microsoft "the finger", literally.

  2. Re:No one would listen on Russia Claims IP Rights In Manufacture of AK-47 · · Score: 1

    "You can have our IP when you pry it from our cold, dead hands!"

  3. Re:So let me get this straight.. on Sci-fi Writers Join War on Terror · · Score: 1

    5. Replace bomb sniffing dogs with jedi knights. Explanation not required.

    "These aren't the hand cremes and fingernail clippers that you're looking for..."

  4. Re:Let me tell you a story on FBI Target Puts His Life Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    Let me tell you a story. An "in Soviet Russia" kind of story.

    Wait a minute, I thought that in Soviet Russia, the story told you!

  5. Re:Leukaemia on How Bad Can Wi-fi Be? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Whatever cancer, lukemia, AIDS, or avian bird flu I get from my three cell phones, four wifi routers, two microwaves, and seven televisions, I want more of it.

  6. Re:60% on CERN Collider To Trigger a Data Deluge · · Score: 4, Funny

    mmmm... particle porn!

    See the hottest collisions on the web! Watch as innocent particles get ripped apart, revealing their inner quarks! See protons get exploited and penetrated in their luscious gluons!

  7. Re:Could this be... on Microsoft Using .MS TLD · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, but the dupe of this article next week will be...

  8. How your post reads - at a first glance on ISP Closes Webmail After Spammers Get Addresses · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why should we expect anything more than incompetence from shelleytherepublican.com? They probably run the inferior shelleytherepublican.com software anyway. Their lack of morals and shelleytherepublican.com is something only satanist democ-rats and shelleytherepublican.com could empathize with.

    While their Great Leader, shelleytherepublican.com, was in power, we could trust our oldest allies to loyally support our victory against the Iraqis, but alas, no more. I believe the only real solution is to liberate this backward nation, before it becomes a threat to our shelleytherepublican.com and forces us to use communist European shelleytherepublican.com.

  9. Helicopter? on Bush Causes Cell Phone Ban · · Score: 3, Funny

    The president's motorcade will be shadowed by a helicopter equipped with signal-jamming equipment.

    I'm just hoping it's not black, for the sake of the tinfoil-hat crowd...

  10. Re:This is brilliant! on Congress May Outlaw 'Attempted Piracy' · · Score: 1

    Finally, could this be the year of linux on the desktop?!

  11. Re:Why Apple? on NIN Releases Garageband Sources For 3 New Tracks · · Score: 1

    Keep an eye out for a product called "Sequel" by Steinberg... it's basically garageband for windows.

  12. Re:Kind of cool but is this really worth it? on $100 Laptop Repriced at $175 · · Score: 1

    You mean add a few bucks. There's a price break for crapware. It pays for the cost of Windows and then some.

    My, my, aren't we feeling a bit feisty this morning? I don't suppose that netcraft has confirmed the above claim, have they?

  13. Re:I'm just waiting... on $100 Laptop Repriced at $175 · · Score: 1

    Actually, switzerland is still using the franc. I have a feeling that the GP is unaware of this, however...

  14. Re:Why Apple? on NIN Releases Garageband Sources For 3 New Tracks · · Score: 3, Informative

    GarageBand is a Mac-only application bought by Apple.

    If you'd ever used logic 6 (the last version made by emagic before getting bought out by apple, who later produced logic 7 and recycled the sound engine into garageband), you'd know how ridiculous you sounded just now. Granted, apple didn't write the whole app from scratch, but what they did to it was the equivilent of "pimp my app" with a '79 chevy nova. Give some credit where it's due.

  15. Re:PRAM is new? on Intel Set To Demo PRAM · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not to nitpick your post, but I thought you'd like to know that it's QED, not QUED... it's short for "quod erat demonstrandum", from Latin. :)

  16. Re:Totally Random Comment #102903 on 6G iPod & Apple's Future · · Score: 1

    Which product did they buy and rebrand?

    I really hope you're not referring to logic, because that's a totally different animal...

  17. Re:What this actually means... on Females Outnumber Males Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anyone that's been on IRC can clearly confirm the above statement...

  18. Juicy bits pulled from server to prevent /.'ing on This is How We Catch You Downloading · · Score: 4, Funny

    -Link to PDF temporarily removed, will return later-

    What, no .torrent file?!

  19. Re:Security through obscurity? on Protected Memory Stick Easily Cracked · · Score: 1

    Tell me again why we as Software Engineers are supposed to use descriptive method and variable names? Sure, it may be useful during testing/building/debugging/etc; nobody will argue that. However, if your "secure" product can be easily hacked due to the fact that you use descriptive class/variable/method names, maybe the practice should be reviewed.

    We're supposed to use descriptive variable names because when you're working with a team of people, it's more apparent to your teammates what a method called VerifyPassWord() will do instead of, say, Ooeuk436snthk().

    That being said, don't blame their engineering process. They should have just used a code obfuscator before depolyment.

  20. Re:Real world features, plz on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    Maybe it'll squirt twice as far as the original Zune...

  21. Re:well ... on Should Chimps Have Human Rights? · · Score: 1

    Maybe in this case it would be more beneficial to not give chimps the same rights as humans.... muahahaha, off to the vivisection lab with YOU, curious george!

  22. Re:I hate Star Wars on Serenity Trounces Star Wars · · Score: 4, Funny

    Longtime, loyal, somewhat-crazy fans, first marketplace claims, static marketshare... I'd say the only thing your analogy is missing is "good taste in design". Never cared for those hideous jumpsuits and pager-pins myself..

  23. Re:Summary: they stream live shows on Tactics in the Porn Industry's Fight Against Piracy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Realistically, do you really need HD video to watch a woman getting screwed by three hung guys?

    This is a question you really don't want to ask the slashdot community, trust me....

  24. Re:WhaHuh? on Samsung's UpStage Looks To Trump iPhone · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why are these being compared? They are not in the same product class or market.

    Because it's an "iPhone killer", duh!

    Oh wait.... since the iPhone hasn't been released yet, I guess that would instead make it an "iPhone aborter"..

  25. Re:4 ipods / 1 blackberry on Will The iPhone Kill The iPod? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Besides I want an ipod with me all the time, I don't like being attached to the blackberry all the time.

    Just be careful next time you walk through airport security with four ipods strapped to your belt, ok?
