  1. Give this marketing guy more money! Now! on 101 Dumbest Moments In Business · · Score: 2, Funny

    It takes a genius to fuck up this bad :)

    16. "No one will deny that Sony is a world-class hardware company, and no one would deny that Microsoft is a world-class software company. Nintendo aspires to be neither one of those things." -- Peter Main, a Nintendo marketing executive, to the San Francisco Chronicle

    I must away to buy a gamecube right NOW!

    :)

  2. Let me be the first to say it. on Rubber Band Machine Gun · · Score: 1

    I'll say it now and hope that Charlton Heston will say it later:

    GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, RUBBER BANDS DO!

    :)

  3. I saw this documentary years ago! on Bang The Machine · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I would've picked that Jean Claude Van Damme was involved in the Street Fighting scene at some time or another, but it was a true revelation to find that Kylie Minogue wasn't averse to the odd urban brawl.

    Before that I thought she was a little bit soft, what with that whole "Do The Locomotion" song and all, but like, WHOAH! my eyes were opened!

  4. Movie comparison on Star Wars Episode II Trailer Tonight · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've seen the trailers released so far, and really hope that this one can convince me that Clones isn't going to continue to follow the path to the dark side like Menace did.

    I too have seen the trailers so far, and from the looks of things it appears that it's gonna be Titanic in outer space. *bler*

    God save us all from Anakin/Amidala leaning off the edge of the death star. "I'm king of the world! YIPEEE!!!"

    For godsake the only thing missing from the trailer is the swelling Celine Dion/Jon Williams collaboration piece. Is there actually going to be any attacking in Attack of the clones or what?

  5. Couldn't they have been a little more creative?! on To The Pain · · Score: 2

    Heat, Punches, and Electroshocks to the hand?

    I mean, come on, if you want drastically improve pong skills (as it seems everybody does in today's dog-eat-dog world) then you just have to hook this system up to testicles.

    Ping - dot dot - ping - dot dot - ZAAAAP!

    I guanrantee you'll see marked improvement in a very short time.

    Wow! a 4358 hit rally and it's still going! That is just amazing!

    :)

  6. I'm sorry but I won't be happy until... on Table Top Fusion Courtesy of Tiny Bubbles · · Score: 2

    ... I can feed old banana peels into my laptop to power it (cf. the delorean in Back to the Future Part II)

    Anything short of that, while it might be "OK", is just not good enough in my opinion.

    :)

  7. That invisible case is frigging amazing! on The Incredible Invisible Case · · Score: 4, Funny

    I mean like whoah! the PC is ENTIRELY invisible!

    Either that or the images aren't loading because of slashdotting.

    :)

  8. The Bears Eyes! on The Teddy Borg is Alive! · · Score: 3, Funny

    I dunno, maybe it's just me but I woulda used red for the bear's eyes

    And as far as his "vain hope of attracting women" goes, well, dude thay're the vainest! (ie don't cross your fingers, and wait for the phone to ring)

    :)

  9. Case mod mod on Impressive Homemade Aluminum Cube Case · · Score: 4, Funny

    I mean sure that thing is beautiful and all, but its also fucking gigantic.

    So why not utilise the extra space? Install some sort of refrigeration system -- very useful should you ever choose to overclock -- and turn it into the worlds first PC-case/Bar fridge.

    You think it's a thing of beauty now, imagine reaching into it and pulling out a brewski, without getting up from your Quake session!

    Awesome!

    :)

  10. Sounds like a recipe for phone rage! on Microsoft Enters the Cell Phone OS Market · · Score: 2

    *Phone boots for 15 minutes

    *Displays the "Who do you want to call today" welcome message

    *Hangs for a further 5 minutes

    *Refuses to call non MS cells

    User hurls phone out of car onto the pavement

    :)

  11. PUNS people PUNS! on Americans And Chinese Internet Censorship · · Score: 2

    I don't know if I've missed it, but how could noone have yet made a "Great Fire Wall of China" pun?

    Come on people! Pick up your game!

    But for what it's worth it:

    In the long run this wall's probably gonna prove as useful at keeping things (ie. information) out as the last one was.

    I did my best.

    :)

  12. So university life cancels itself out? on Sleep Less, Live Longer · · Score: 2

    Do all of the late night parties at university(ie. sleep deprivation) cancel out the ill effects of said parties?

    I damn well hope so!

    I think my life-expectancy might still be slightly in the negative ledger as a result of the party experiences, but it's nice to know there's a counter

  13. You should see the other tank... on Will Barry White Songs Help Sharks Get Down? · · Score: 5, Funny

    where they were playing Celine Dion.

    Now those were some fucking angry sharks!:

    Neeeeeaar Faaaaaaar, Whereeeeeveeer Yooou Are *MAD FRENZY BEGAN* ... By the time it got to: I Beeeeelieeeeve that my heart will go Oooooooon the tank was filled with blood and one surviving very injured shark.

    No; For the "love" it always has to be Barry White!

  14. So he was the one that invented 'the escape' on 82-Year-Old Coder Trumps BT's Hyperlink Patent · · Score: 3, Funny

    Which one played him in the movie.

    Wasn't Bemer portrayed by Steve McQueen. Those damned Nazis. If it wasn't for the 'escape' we never would have witnessed one of the finest war movies of all time.

    I dunno what it is but it's funny to think of an 82 yr old programmer throwing a baseball back forth against his cubicle wall.

    :)

  15. Fuck BT... Go after MS.. on 82-Year-Old Coder Trumps BT's Hyperlink Patent · · Score: 3, Funny

    If there's anybody claiming patents built on 'escape' technology then it's MS.

    Ctrl-Alt-Esc is the way I usually shut down my MS applications for godsake.

  16. You mean the "big images" exist?! on 9th Circuit: Thumbnails Are Big Enough For Fair Use · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you've ever "accidentally" been directed to a "leisure" site then, like me, you were probably convinced that only thumbnail images exist.

    This case is a landmark for me because it provides evidence that non-thumbnail pr0n is actually out there somewhere.

    :)

  17. www.daypop.com on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    oh sure this off-topic but anyway,

    I tried typing "axis of evil" into the daypop search enginge.

    This resultant effect?:

    My computer suffered a melt-down

    :)

  18. Re:JESUS! on A Warrior's Programming Language · · Score: 0, Troll

    And your parents got laid too. I hope it's not a big achievement for you.

  19. Cautionary warning! on A Warrior's Programming Language · · Score: 4, Funny

    Never trust any source of programming information that has a high likelihood of close proximity to badly photoshopped vulcan porn.

    Just a warning...

    ...It'll be hard to explain to your boss.

    :)

  20. Problem's with the language on A Warrior's Programming Language · · Score: 3, Funny

    You can probably find something like this on the page if you bother to go looking:

    "It turns out Klingons have no function to save().

    So in adapting the language we simply used:

    stop(kill())

    which imparts almost the same meaning but remains true to the fundamentals of the beautiful nature of the language which is Klingon. Bj'nrak!!!"


    fuckwits.

  21. Extra functionality on The Amazing Lego DAT Tape Changer · · Score: 5, Funny

    From the looks of this thing it also loads a DAT tape of the inventor snoring, and waves a fake arm around in the bed, if his Mom turns his bedroom door handle when he's taking a day off...

    ...Oh god how many Matthew Broderick references can slashdot handle in a single day!

    :)

  22. Odd juxtaposition on Super Bowl Commercial Skewer-a-thon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In reference to the 'Anti-Terrorism Ads':

    Does anybody else think that the ad juxtaposition will bea little off kilter?:

    *A dancing/singing CG cow will say something like: "This Bud's for you!"

    *Anti-Terrorism ad

    *A dancing/singing britney spears will say something like "Mmmm, pepsi... It's how to be cool!"

    :)

  23. It looks like... on Speed of Light Measurement Using Ping · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...someone is very close to getting some sweet government funding to play quake all day!!!

    M: "Joel, did you get those speed of light measurements this time?"

    Joel: "No, It looks like we'll have to fire up another game. You wanna play one-on-one or co-op M?"

    M: "Sweeeeet!!!"

    :)

  24. Of Course... on Time for a Beer? · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...operating a GPS device in order to bar hop while completely stone drunk, and swaying all over the pavement shouldn't prove a challenge at all.

    Man I have to hold my wrist with the other hand just to look at the time.

    And another thing; Who wants to bear witness to such truly horrible pick-up lines as:

    "Hey baby! Wanna see my GPS device?! Yowzer!"

    :)

  25. A really good online pinball reference on Pinball Wizards on the Internet · · Score: 2

    For all your pinball needs.

    MS note: All other pinball is in violation of Microsoft pinball IP.

    :)
