  1. Re:Testify My Brother on Iceman Otzi was a Fighter · · Score: 1

    So if I were planning to attend more than one Box Social would it be Boxen Social?

    Sorry, I got nothing, I just find the idea of a box social hilarious.

  2. Re:Someone needs to write a song about FUD on MPAA Opens Anti-filesharing Website · · Score: 1

    Welcome to *AA where everything we say is canon truth, or else we'll sue you!

    Tell me about it. This one time the FAA sued me followed by a lawsuit by AAA because I tried to make a flying car and got a flat tire.

  3. That's fine and all.... on PKWare Files a Patent Application for Secure .zip · · Score: 5, Funny

    but I want a secure zipper. So many people are trying to get into my pants it's outrageous.

  4. Re:maybe 100 years.... on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the goo IN our ears. I could be way off on this one, but robots of today (ones that try and mimmick nature) seem to have a lack of balance. IE, they can't run and jump on a log and then duck to avoid a branch, that kind of thing.

  5. Re:In case of slashdotting - full text of report on Oldest Planet Ever Discovered · · Score: 1

    And in case the comment DB holding the snarky reply ever gets old and unfunny:

    Bah, forget it.

  6. Re:more info on DARPA Looking into Hypersonic Bombers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, given that they can hop about and what not, and are smart enough to interact/communicate with each other, I'd assume cleaning them up wouldn't be a problem. Simply send out a signal, have them disarm themselves, gather into a central area, and then go and pick em up.

  7. Re:The ocean in question would be the on World's Deepest-Diving Unmanned Submarine Lost · · Score: 1

    Off of the coast of Japan and heading roughly South-Southwest down towards Malyasia.

    YOU MEAN IT'S MOVING?!?! This can only be one thing, a WMD made by the Japanese. They better be prepared to be liberated.

  8. Re:reminds me of the ricers on Renaissance Potters Were Nanotechnologists · · Score: 1

    Actually, they know the paint isn't what makes a car fast. It's the decals man. Oh, and a big huge wing on the back for a front wheel drive cars. Oh, and the lack of torque. Oh, and a loud soundsystem that rattles the whole car because they don't know how to properly implement a nice sound system. Oh, and they suck.

  9. Re:The old mountain climber motto... on The Real Reason for Sending Astronauts into Space · · Score: 1

    * I can't believe this word has become popular. We owe South Park an enormous cultural debt.

    Erm. I have noticed no increase or decrease in the usage of the word shenanigans since South Park started. Also, South Park was only funny for the first few episodes.

  10. Re:Haha rape is so funny on X-Box Hackers Trying to Blackmail Microsoft? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Ouch. Hits close to home?

    I just know there's a joke about the back door somewhere there.

  11. Re:Phish Moves To FLAC on Phish Moves To FLAC · · Score: 1

    Our closest relatives (the chimps) at least practice better grooming habits than most of the hardcore phish phans.

  12. Re:Dude! on Phish Moves To FLAC · · Score: 1

    Well, just don't shower. And listen to different shows in different parts of your house. Make forts/tents out of couch cushions, sheets, etc, and you have the full Phish touring experience!

  13. Re:Wow, news from March on Honeypot For Identifying Email-Harvesters · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Exciting. Glad to see Slashdot is on top of things.
    Why didn't you post it back in March then instead of bitching about something so trivial?

  14. Re:2.4.42.pre1 on Penguins Stuck In Infinite Loop · · Score: 2, Funny

    What is this "outside" you speak of?

  15. Re:too many links these days on University of Wisconsin Wins FutureTruck Competition · · Score: 1

    I agree that sometimes they have too many links. However, sometimes they provide useful information that is relevant that the linked story doesn't contain. Maybe a solution would be to make the link that is the point of the story bold, or just put the other links at the bottom, kind of like a "further reading" type of deal.

  16. Re:Christian coalition on Stronger Anti-Spam Law Proposed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because god gets so much spam that their prayers might be missed in a sea of spam.

  17. Re:doubtful on R - Racing Evolution - Gran Turismo Beater? · · Score: 1

    The graphics of Turismo 3 are still very good by PS2 standards in my mind. However, 4 looks to really blow them away. The graphics are good enough that it doesn't really seem dated. Mostly though, it's the gameplay that has gotten and kept such a huge following.

  18. Re:Already /.ed on Pictures of Earth From Mars · · Score: 1

    What about offering the mirrors to subscribers only?

  19. Re:Torture on Projector Torture Test: LCD versus DLP · · Score: 1

    "...if you're staring at a projecter 8 hours a day, for 500 straight days, maybe you should go outside ;)"

    What if the projecter is displaying a picture of a sun?

  20. Re:Nice idea, but... on High Density CDs · · Score: 1

    I haven't had a single DVD I've burned get scratched yet. I've only had my burner for a couple months now, but I often throw my DVDs on the top of the tower. IOW, they're just sitting there, with other things getting thrown on top of them.

    On the other hand, I've had CD-R's get scratched just from putting them in the car CD deck. (albiet from a bad attempt at putting it in while driving, but nothing that I would consider scratch-causing)

  21. Re:Been there,done that on Fully-functional Miniature Notebook Planned · · Score: 1

    One of my CS instructers came...

    You can take Counterstrike classes now?!?!@ No wonder I'm always dying so quickly!

  22. Re:Good thing I use Windows on MIT Gnome Invasion · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Good thing I read Slashdot.

    All I have to worry about is a few thousand anti-MS comments. (Despite their irrelevence to the topic at hand, and despite not being funny)

  23. Re:More Molested Cars... on "Case Modding" a Nissan Sentra · · Score: 1

    That site's pretty retarded. For instance, he twice rips on 5.0 Mustangs. One for having a wing, and another for having 5.0 on the side. This guy is a complete idiot. First of all, the 5.0 lettering behind the front wheels comes STOCK, and is not aftermarket. Secondly, being a rear-wheel drive car, it may need a more effective wing if it has some mods under the hood, and I'm sure the site owner didn't get a chance to look under the hood.

    The cars in the rice section aren't even all that bad. That's speaking relatively of course. They are all ugly in that part of the site, but they're nowhere near as ugly as shit you see everyday.

    Sometimes the people who rip on these cars are just as retarded as the people who mod the cars themselves. They don't realise that sometimes mods ARE practical.

  24. Re:This is a little bit funny but that it. on "Case Modding" a Nissan Sentra · · Score: 1

    I love Mustangs (in fact, they're my favorite car that I could ever own, as opposed to Ferrari, which I will never own until I'm older, if I'm lucky), but why ruin it with glasspacks? They sound like shit, and you could be hurting airflow. (I don't really know much about them, but I've read they can disturb airflow, and I personally think they sound like shit)

  25. Re:Better with a beetle on "Case Modding" a Nissan Sentra · · Score: 1

    But was it uphill BOTH ways?
