  1. Media smoke and mirrors on Star Wars II: Return of the Name · · Score: 1

    Can't you see George Lucas is just feeding the press misinformation to protect his precious baby?!

    If he came right out now and called it "Attack of the Pod Racers" we'd all know the basic plot long before it's release schedule

    :)

  2. I am infinitely grateful... on Describing The Web With Physics · · Score: 1

    ... that they didn't try to Describe The Web With Gym Class.

    I sucked at that! (As I imagine many /.ers did and do)

    :)

  3. cue the *COOL CARTOON SUPERHERO MUSIC* on WonderSwan Advance · · Score: 1, Funny

    *In A Deep Movie-Ad-Guy Voice-Over*:

    "By day he is an unassuming nerdy haxor boy.

    But by night he becomes:

    NULLMAN! MASTER OF WARRANTY VOIDAGE!!!"

    :)

  4. Mobile Phones in Traffic on The Sound of Safety? · · Score: 1

    So now when some prick's mobile rings in the middle of peak-hour traffic the 2 or 3 people driving cars in the vicinity will all take their eyes of the road. That's just great!

    Never know though... Maybe while they're distracted they'll hit one of the bank robbers trying to make a run for it

    :)

  5. What? on U.S. East Coast Bombarded By ... What? · · Score: 1

    The East Coast has been hit by a Ford Meteor compact car?

    :)

  6. Better yet: build it into your driveway? on Protect Your Computer From Theft · · Score: 1

    When you are laying the garage drive, climb onto the roof of your house and hoik that technological bad-boy directly earthward into the wet cement.

    I'd like to see them take it then. (Then again I'd like to see you try and park your car but, you know, objective achieved.)

    :)

  7. Oh Crap! on Another Nasty Outlook Virus Strikes · · Score: 4

    I've just realised it doesn't matter what mailer I use. The fact that this virus/worm/whatever even exists means I'm gonna suffer!

    With all this media attention my Mom's gonna start sending every freaking bogus virus warning on the planet (She scares very easily; The poor dear!).

    I'd rather get the virus.

    :)

  8. Once again I miss out on everything on Another Nasty Outlook Virus Strikes · · Score: 5

    I wish I used Outlook...

    I completely missed out on that whole "Anna Kournikova" thing and now I can't even run this one...

    It's either buy Outlook or hope Lotus Notes releases a "Microsoft Virus Enabler" patch

    *sigh*

  9. For instance... on Study: Playing Computer Games Makes Kids Smarter · · Score: 2

    Today's generation of disenchanted youth knows the importance of strafing when holding up a convenience store.

    Kudos to you Doom! Kudos to you Quake!

    I'm just suprised we haven't seen a spark in the number of chain-gun incidents in police reports

    :)

    PS. For all of you just an alt-tab away from an FPS: Yes this is toungue-in-cheek... sheesh! :)

  10. Sounds a bit pointless... on The Well-Connected Park Bench · · Score: 1

    ...offering free net access to your average web-geek while at the same time expecting them to brave direct exposure to natural light!

    The HORROR!

    Maybe they could put it under a nice big shady tree.

    :)

  11. In the future/The "lost contact" scenario x 10000: on HP Patents Nanoscale "Street Map" Technology · · Score: 2

    "I have here my entire collection of MP3s on this glue-on fingernail.
    Oh SHIT, I dropped it!...
    Nobody move!
    Everybody help me look for it!"

    :)

  12. Is this why... on Search Engine Payola · · Score: 1

    ...when I do a search for, say, "Family Tree Information" the results that get returned are:

    Hardcore animal pr0n

    ?

    :)

  13. Search: "Ralph Nader" on Search Engine Payola · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who thinks that searches for "Ralph Nader" might now direct you to the Republican Party's campaign site... Yahoo: "Well screw you Ralph!" :)

  14. He's prolly just a little bit pissed off because.. on Search Engine Payola · · Score: 2

    ...not enough people are making it to his paysite!

    Would you like to see Ralphy doing more than just posing? Click HERE!

    "What! No hits?"
    "Nader-sense tingling! Corruption is afoot in the search engine business"

    :)

  15. Million dollar funding superchallenge! on Solving the Great Shower Curtain Mystery · · Score: 5

    Some of my own proposed projects:

    * Why the last dribbles of softdrink never make it out of the can
    * Why drivers lisense photos always turn out bad
    * Why I always sound like a dork on answering machines


    I plan to model each one of these confounding human mysteries on a supercomputer using not 1, not 2, but 3 trillion!!! calculations...

    Now!... Gimme that sweet sweet grant money!

    :)

  16. Re:Atlanta on Pillars Underwater · · Score: 1

    I thought it said the "Lost City of ALANIS"

    If that was the case, then I think it should best stay undersea

  17. Anything Daddy can do I can do better? on Nuclear Booster Rockets · · Score: 1

    George Bush:

    Uranium Depleted Bullets!

    Georgie Bush Jr.:

    Uranium Depleted Soldiers!!

    :)

  18. Finally... on Starship Troopers: Exoskeletons and Translators · · Score: 2

    Technology that allows troops on either side of battle to understand the cool/witty one liners of the enemy.

    Sarge: "Oh my God they just killed Dave!!!"
    Private: "But ya gotta admit... what that guy just said... It was pretty fucking funny!"
    Sarge: "Yeah Chuckie, I suppose it was!"
    Sarge and Private: *high five*

    :)
