  1. Crash hard enough on Bamboo Bike A Reality · · Score: 1

    and you too can have spears of splintered bamboo go through your torso.

    Weeeeee!

  2. Re:Call me a cynic, but... on Darwinian Poetry: From Bad to Verse · · Score: 1

    Exactly!

    Interesting word combinations do not a poem make.

    Where is the art? The Art?

    Applying evolution to poems is just a badly thought out idea. There are no parameters or definite goals so there is no optimal model.

    Besides, different poems express different emotions; traits that make one poem effective may neutralize those that work well for another.

    All you'll end up with is a generic slush of interesting sounding/looking phrases that express nothing at all -- assuming that the product is even coherent.

  3. Re:NYC on Flash Mobs: Peaceable Assembly for Spontaneous Fun · · Score: 1

    Oh, if only I had mod points to shower you with!

  4. Holy Crap! on Inkblot Passwords · · Score: 1

    We've Slashdotted Microsoft

    Where's the champagne?

  5. Masks? on Installing Halon Fire Supression System at Home? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sorry, my knowledge of halon systems comes only from Terminator 2.

  6. Re:CUT IT UP!! on Deep Sea Monster Baffles Scientists · · Score: 1

    Check your hand. No, your other hand.

    It's the last place I look sometimes..

  7. Aren't we supposed to hate spammers? on SMS, SARS, And Censorship · · Score: 1

    Likely, they were spammers out to profit on the uneducated populace. "..people of Guangdong province had begun to panic, pouring into stores and clearing out supplies of Western antibiotics, vinegar and Chinese herbal tea, all of which were rumoured to fend off a mysterious virus the world would come to know as Sars." Anyway, the article is dreadfully vague.

  8. Re:$13.00! on CD Price-Fixing Suit Ruling · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Woohoo, free 50pack of cdr!

    Now I can download even more pirated music!

  9. Are you implying... on Is the Seeking of Lost Skills/Arts a Hacking Analog? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... that the Amish are the 31337est hackers?

  10. Of Course! on Are Programmers Engineers? · · Score: 1

    There are Software Architects who design the programs.

    So, naturally it should follow that Software Engineers are those who bring the idea into reality.

  11. Ewww on Nvidia GeForceFX(NV30) Officially Launched · · Score: 1

    Having to use two slots is a real turnoff. I'm more excited about whatever ati will have to match this. Something that will stay in it's own slot I hope.

  12. Underdog Privilege? on Draw! · · Score: 1

    Seems like a win-win situation: Scenario 1 (AMD loses): "Well, of course, I could have told you AMD was going to lose from the beginning. How could you even think to compare a 2ghz rated cpu with a 2.4ghz one! Duh!" Scenario 2 (AMD wins): "Well, of course, I could have told you AMD was going to win from the beginning. How could you even think that a P4 could compete with advanced Athlon technology! Duh!" Righteous militant Intel-bashers, come forth!

  13. Re:SimSim on E3: SimCity 4 Preview Goodness · · Score: 1

    I believe that was what Maxis tried to do with SimsVille. It's dead now. But from these screenshots and if I remember correctly from the preview video on the Sims cd, I would venture to guess this is SimsVille, only with the "The Sims" half stripped out.

  14. I must have been the only one to read this as on Self-Heating Can · · Score: 1

    The Self-Healing Can.

    Man, I'd much rather have one of those on the ski slopes...
