  1. Obviously... on Mobile Top Level Domain Gets ICANN Nod · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...no one at ICANN has kids.

  2. The Dog on Arizona School Won't Use Textbooks · · Score: 4, Funny

    So now, when someone says, "The dog ate my homework," they'll actually mean, "The Dog virus ate my homework!"

  3. Finally! on Build Your Own Solar Powered Hotspot · · Score: 4, Funny


    I can play counter-stike when camping! No more annoying so-called "fresh air" needed.

    Then the laptop owner gets a grand.

  7. Re:Ulterior Motives? on China Signs Anti-Spam Pact · · Score: 1

    Spam could potentially provide China's citizens with additional knowledge the government doesn't want them to know about.

    How? Letting them know their penis size isn't up to snuff, so they better order some more viagra?

  8. Re:The Russian court has got see reason, here. on Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe · · Score: 1

    To fix this, you should have a law liek Canada's where the loser pays the legal bills for both sides in a law suit. This ensure frivilous law suits have to think twice

    Just out of curiosity, how does the loser know that the other legal team isn't jacking up thier price right at the end so you have to pay more?

  9. For Memory on Shopping Online · · Score: 1

    I use digi4all.com -

    Great prices and good customer service. They even have super cheap generic RAM (if you're into that short of thing)

  10. Re:OT: Iraq body count on Justice O'Connor Retiring · · Score: 1

    Just curious:

    Why would he attend? Have previous presidents attended such events?

  11. OT: Iraq body count on Justice O'Connor Retiring · · Score: 1

    Where can I find a link to the current body count in Iraq (for soldiers and civilians)? I know it's a "large" number for a "war" that was supposed to be swift with minimal casualties, however the local news doesn't ever seem to cover this topic.

  12. US Sith? on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    How long before we have a Congressional equivalent?"

    Why would a Sith-controlled organization allow a Jedi to join?

  13. Re:I didn't think this was a big mystery. on Low-Hanging Moon Explained · · Score: 1

    Some one on some show said that if you bend over doubled and look through your legs at the moon, no matter where it is in the sky it will appear large as well for the same reason


    That's just silly. It's an obvious ploy to get people to look stupid.

    Now I have to try it. Damn youse!

  14. Re:Sounds like Slashdot on From Alien to The Matrix · · Score: 1

    Wait, is that to imply that 'righties' hang out here too?

  15. Geek Tree on What Ancient Tech Do You Do? · · Score: 1

    Speaking of... ...my fiance and I went to Home Depot the other day to get some fruit trees to plant in the yard. We stumbled upon 1 tree (about a year old) that says it produces two kinds of peaches, nectarenes AND plums. Four fruits on one tree??

    Now I'm busy trying to research on the net how they did this and what to expect when it matures. Sure enough, upon closer inspection of the actual tree, it appears as though each branch is spliced from a different tree (except one).

    That's pretty cool tech (therfore geeky) to me!

  16. Have you tired... on How Amazon and Google are taking eBay's Business · · Score: 1

    half.com? It's owned by eBay except it's fix prices and fixed shipping rates. No bids, just the bottom line. So far I've had very good luck with them and I've used the service half a dozen times.

  17. Amazon.com Support on How Amazon and Google are taking eBay's Business · · Score: 1

    Enjoy!

  19. oB on Building the WallTop · · Score: 0

    Shouldn't have ran the webserver off of the walltop! =]

  20. movie in theatre AND dvd? on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    Here what I want, and I don't understand why they don't have:

    I want to go to a theatre and pay my ~$9. Then, when the movie is over and if I liked the movie, I should be able to pay $5 or $6 more bucks to buy it on DVD on the way out.

    If ppl can download the movie and burn them on DVDs before it's even out the theatre, then why can't they implement this? Sure, I won't be a repeat customer to the theatre, but I wasn't gonna see it twice in the theatre to begin with! Plus they could work out a deal with the studios to get a cut of the DVD money to recoup costs of losing a repeat customer for the film.

  21. Re:New Sections? on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sheesh, can't even tell a joke without getting modded down. =p

  22. New Sections? on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Maybe it's time for a "Vaporware" section of the news? Or is that the M$ section? *ducks*

  23. Re:It's just too important on NYT Says Paperless Voting A Serious Problem · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are many, many advantages

    Just out of curiosity, can you name one advantage?

  24. Pinpiont on Nanotech Protests Begin · · Score: 1

    Wow, so we can actually pinpoint exactly when the backlash to this tech started? Sounds like a "when I was your age" story to tell the (eventual) kids.

  25. Guess we shouldn't... on 63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email · · Score: 1

    ..tell them about webmail. They'll NEVER see that coming.
