  1. Re:Yes, but other than that, how did you like it? on Microsoft's Hotmail Challenge Backfires · · Score: 1

    It was probably a very strong password, that's why he used it on every web site.

  2. Re:This word, "rugged" on Backdoor In RuggedOS Systems: Infrastructure, Military Systems Vulnerable · · Score: 4, Funny

    It means "covered with carpet", right?

  3. Re:Google Gov on Google Files Amicus Brief in Hotfile Case; MPAA Requests It Be Rejected · · Score: 5, Funny

    More importantly, can corporations get gay married?

  4. Re:eh on iFixit's Kyle Wiens On the War On DIY Electronics · · Score: 1

    You just need better equipment. Can you imagine a '50s tube set repair guy trying to fix SMD boards with a soldering gun? No, he would have considered them unrepairable, but SMD rework stations are relatively inexpensive today. As the technology advances, so must the tools.

  5. Re:Warned about what? on TSA 'Warning' Media About Reporting On Body Scanner Failures? · · Score: 1

    Worked for me.

  6. Re:Validity? on For Windows 8 Users, Stardock Revives the Start Menu · · Score: 1

    Even cars did not change their UI in the past 100 years

    Cars have actually changed their operating interface substantially. The venerable Model T had a throttle lever on the steering column instead of an accelerator pedal. Opposite that was a lever to adjust the spark advance. Most of the other controls would seem foreign to anyone used to post-WW2 cars.

    This site has more information. It's in Comic Sans as punishment.

  7. Re:This isn't nearly as bad as the division bug on AMD Confirms CPU Bug Found By DragonFly BSD's Matt Dillon · · Score: 1

    For example, I just set up a couple servers from COTS parts. [...] for $199.99/ea. It seems the comparable Intel is the i7-980 (6 core, 3.6Ghz), which is selling at $589.99. For the difference in price, I could build out a 3rd server, and still have money left over.

    if 3 x $199.99 $589.99, I think maybe you hit the Pentium division bug discussed earlier.

  8. Re:No entries after 2006? on The 20th IOCCC Winners Announced · · Score: 4, Informative

    This was the 20th IOCCC. The 19th was in 2006.

  9. Re:Lesson of the day: on Google In Battle With Its Own Lawyers · · Score: 0

    No, fully 100% of them are politicians by trade.

  10. Re:Spark != SPARC on New Spark Tablet To Come Loaded With KDE's Active Plasma Interface · · Score: 4, Funny

    To be fair, I can see the editors confusing SPARC and spark.

  11. Tiny ear on Scientists Create World's Tiniest "Ear" · · Score: 1

    Is it affected by tinitus?

  12. Re:I'd bet there is. on Code Cleanup Culls LibreOffice Cruft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now if only they'd take over the Java project.

  13. Re:First post from firefox on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's that song from Lion King... you know, Hatsune Mikuta.

  14. Re:So? on A Fifth of Telecommuters Work Less Than An Hour Per Day · · Score: 0

    People like you that work two shifts are responsible for half of the high unemployment

    People like him are still employed.

  15. Re:Time Machine on Ask Slashdot: Network Backup Solution Out of the Box? · · Score: 1

    "Troubleshooting Time Machine" (Google)

    About 5,720,000 Results (0.25 seconds)

    Knock yourself out ...

    To be fair, most of those are forum posts from Jon Pertwee.

  16. Re:I'm officially sick of the word 'stunning.' on Astronaut Photographs Perseid Meteor — From Space · · Score: 1

    You'd prefer to discuss a cunning array of stunts?

  17. Re:Won't stop Oracle on Sun CEO Explicitly Endorsed Java's Use In Android · · Score: 4, Funny

    I personally keep my used condoms in the freezer, it is eaiser on the nose that way.

    I think you're doing it wrong, they don't go on the nose.

  18. Re:No budget for pictures? on World's Largest Visualization Analytics Display · · Score: 2

    Try this instead. Probably not hi-def, but at least larger photos. And a photo of the visualization they're talking about.

  19. Re:Wonderful! on Upscaling Retro 8-Bit Pixel Art To Vector Graphics · · Score: 1

    That would be awesome for all my Vectrex games!

  20. Re:The Game of Catchup on New Malware Simulates Hard Drive Failure · · Score: 1

    Java and Adobe reader *do* have autoupdaters. How do you think toolbars get installed?

    I hear there are a lot of pirates in Pittsburgh.

    Please post photos of your 1971 Ford Model T. I suspect the closest you'll be able to get is a 1984 IBM Model M.

    They tried to teach them, but they couldn't be taut.

    But this has to be the biggest load of shit I've ever read on /.
