  1. I guess... on Making a Slashdot Omelet · · Score: 2

    ... no one wanted to hear from Roblimo?

  2. Re:Unconstitutional? on House Representatives Working On NASA Reform Bill · · Score: 1

    You say that now, but when the NASA Orbiting Weapons System (NOWS) is placed, you'll change your tune. And no one will know, either, because they'll be claiming it's all satellites and deep space observation telescopes, until that fateful day...

  3. Re:Reminds me a story my dad told me... on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Take Notes In the Modern Classroom? · · Score: 1

    This is a scene in a montage from 1985's Real Genius. Third screencap down on some random blog. Not saying your dad didn't actually experience this, too, but as soon as I read it, I recognized the scene...

  4. We're boned on Analyzing Tweets To Identify Psychopaths · · Score: 1

    Well, um, I am. I mean, I fucking swear all the god damned time on Twitter. So, yeah, I also use periods (and other punctuation). I'll respond angrily to people... I hate this shit...

  5. Re:Different Markets on Apple Gets the Importance of Packaging; Why Doesn't Google? · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that when I'm a parent, I should keep my dikes handy?

  6. When did Cuomo join the Republican Party? True, you can't actually tell them apart from the Democritic Party in terms of outcome...

  7. Re:Could? on UK Government To Offer Free TV Filters For 4G Interference · · Score: 1

    But it was Nickelback. That's like a free pass. And it was Toronto, so it's not like they were in a real country anyway.

  8. Re:Next on Kevin Bacon Meets Wikipedia With New Pathfinding Program · · Score: 1

    Like this? Granted, "lose one's virginity" isn't an actual page name, so I had to adapt...

  9. Re:The war on terror is over on TSA's mm-Wave Body Scanner Breaks Diabetic Teen's $10K Insulin Pump · · Score: 1

    The pipe has been, on average, steadily increasing for at least the last hour, including all 11 minutes you're being beaten. And it's not slowing down whomever is doing the beating...

  10. Re:The war on terror is over on TSA's mm-Wave Body Scanner Breaks Diabetic Teen's $10K Insulin Pump · · Score: 1

    Oh, from me you're guaranteed at least 1 more minute, possibly 5 more, of being beaten. I'm just asking you 3 minutes in if you're gonna vote for me and add another 5...

  11. Re:The war on terror is over on TSA's mm-Wave Body Scanner Breaks Diabetic Teen's $10K Insulin Pump · · Score: 0

    It's to preserve our freedom and safety, prevent terrorism, protect our children, and ensure the American Way.

  12. Re:The war on terror is over on TSA's mm-Wave Body Scanner Breaks Diabetic Teen's $10K Insulin Pump · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So, someone can beat you for 8 minutes with a lead pipe, I step in and beat you for 3 then stop. You'd still vote for me?

  13. The REAL question... on 1Gbps Wireless Network Made With Red and Green Laser Pointers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ok, the real question is... how does this apply to /.'s new BI focus? Can I use this instead of spreadsheets or specialized software to properly align my Business Intelligence with the synergies of the corporation for maximization of profitability?

    Ouch, that hurt...

  14. Re:Go Ballmer! on Australian Billionaire Plans To Build Titanic II · · Score: 1

    That's what I get for going there with my stick-in-the-mud gf at the time. Haven't been back in a goodly while...

  15. Re:GOD DAMN IT, THIS IS WHY I AVOID REDDIT! on Slashdot Coming Attractions · · Score: 2

    Some of us old farts stick around here for old times sake.

    That's about the only reason I stick around, too.

    And a 6 digit claiming to be an old fart makes me feel positively ancient...

  16. Re:They can't do that! on Yahoo Layoffs Begin, CEO Sends Employees Apologetic Letter · · Score: 1

    But it's mine! Mine! ALL MINE! That huge advertising campaign about it being "Your Yahoo!" was aimed specifically at *me*! Just me!

  17. They can't do that! on Yahoo Layoffs Begin, CEO Sends Employees Apologetic Letter · · Score: 4, Funny

    They can't do that, it's supposed to be *my* Yahoo! and I didn't give permission...

  18. emacs on What The DHS Is Looking For In Your Posts · · Score: 1

    I guess it's time to update M-x spook in emacs...

  19. Re:How many threads like this? on Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS? · · Score: 1

    Wow, that would make it totally useless where I am, then. There are *no* clear channels in my neighborhood (townhouses), from either where my router is, or where my laptop is, or what my phone can see. The router would constantly be shutting off... My currently solution is 2 separate WRT54G(S) routers, same SSID, different channels, different floors of the house...

  20. Re:Hmm.. on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools To Aid When "On Call"? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. In fact, just last weekend this happened to me, though I wasn't on-call... The multi-rack APC UPS that covers our entire DC had a fault that managed to trip several breakers, fry 83 of 114 batteries, and take everything off-line...at 12:30 AM on Saturday. Apparently my boss and coworkers were trying to call me from about 3:30 AM on, with a director even driving to my house, ringing the doorbell, and pounding on the door. I slept through it all, waking up around 12:30-1:00 PM on Saturday. The amazing thing is my wife, who wakes up when a floorboard squeaks, also managed to sleep through it. Somehow, so did the dogs.

  21. They have access to the source... on Linux Kernel Developer Declares VirtualBox Driver "Crap" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...so instead of just complaining, they could fix it and offer the patch back to Oracle.

    I do believe that people who complain about problems in the Linux kernel and other open source products are often told to do just that. Why expect others to do as you say, if you won't do the same?

  22. Re:Please don't do this on Bruce Campbell Confirms New Evil Dead Movie · · Score: 1

    Undead? You surely mean Deadites...

  23. Re:Please don't do this on Bruce Campbell Confirms New Evil Dead Movie · · Score: 1
