  1. Re:The Best-Selling Video Game of All Time... on 25 Years of Super Mario Bros. · · Score: 1, Funny

    If you count Solitaire as a game, then the last 20 years of my, as well as many others, working lives will be counted as nonproductive! You cannot do that to us minions!

  2. Re:Obama on Australian Politician Caught Viewing Porn · · Score: 0

    The first rule of the Obama fan club is to never talk about the Obama fan club.

  3. Obama on Australian Politician Caught Viewing Porn · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If this were about Obama, then the news would be all about how this was OK, stress relief for an overstressed person, and that it was his private business and shouldn't even be on the news. If this were about GW Bush, then it would probably follow what this guy is getting, except 24/7 on all stations.

    Mega-Volcanoes Might Be Detectable On Exoplanets

    And, a politicians might be honest. What kind of useless message is this title? Can't we get something that gives a more positive possibility? How about "maybe we can, and maybe we can't, detect mega-volcanoes on exopanets"

  5. Re:Echolocation on Researchers Create Real Tractor Beams · · Score: 1

    Catpain, it appears that we've been warped into a future dimension, on in which this article has already appeared! We must find a nuclear wessle immediately!

  6. Alas on Narcissists, Insecure People Flock To Facebook · · Score: 1

    Nobody ever wants to see my beautiful face. It's always the same, no matter how wonderfully sculptured by god-like body becomes, everyone just ignores me. If they take my red stapler, I'm going to burn this place down.

  7. Until on Tractor Beams Come To Life · · Score: 1

    Until someone finds a way of using this for porn, its developement will be slow. Star Trek devices may sound cool, but the Internet didn't explode until someone found a way to distribute naughty pictures with it.

  8. Re:nation's capitol overrun by walking dead on University Offers Class In Zombie Studies · · Score: 1

    Typical live person

    The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any vitalism animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical live person who, uh, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know there's a reaction that's been been bred into our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way and that's just the nature of vitalism in our society. We have to break through it

  9. Should be easy on New and Old Experiments Combine To Help the Search For Life On Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    It should be easy to find life on mars. Just look for the spaceports that they used when they attacked Earth in 1938. Just in case, they should have a Slim Whitman record on hand.

  10. Does this mean on Duke Nukem Forever Back In Development · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that flying cars are just around the corner?

  11. Re:Ping on Ping Could Be Apple's Social Networking Backdoor? · · Score: 1

    Why do these companies always seem to pick names that are hard to do a search on? It's like they want to hide underneath a rock. Why don't they understand that they would be easier to find using a name that is less common? Someone should start a company called "the". I'll bet they would be thrilled with their near invisibility in the search results.

  12. Did they on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 0

    Did they shoot him with a shark-mounted laser?

    We need to keep up the meme...

  13. Ever notice on US Spends $11M To Kick-Start Video Search · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ever notice that all the major inovations on the internet are porn related?

  14. Re:What is it? on Mahara 1.2 EPortfolios · · Score: 2, Funny

    Would it have killed the submitter to provide some little inkling of what Mahara actually is somewhere near the top of TFS?

    Mahara is obviously a famous high end prostitute. If you are spending that kind of money on a whore, you will want to be prepared for the experience. Thus this book.

  15. Simpler solutions on 9 Ideas For Coping With Space Junk · · Score: 1

    Blowing the debris up, in various ways, just makes the problem worse by making more pieces instead of fewer.

    Dropping them to the Earth means a chance of dropping them on someone/thing. They should design in a safe burn-up plan instead of letting it fall wherever.

    The best solution is to not generate debris in the first place. Too much of this crap is just some country sending up a "look at me" advertisement, like China's blowing up satellites.

  16. Re:Where's the VAX? on Homebrew Cray-1 · · Score: 1

    I believe that the original Cray 1's frontend was a Data General machine, not a VAX.

  17. But on Homebrew Cray-1 · · Score: 2, Funny

    What version of Windows does it run? I might have a copy here...

    Doesn't everything run Windows?

  18. Re:Transparency rules for thee but not for me on Judge Quashes Subpoena of UVA Research Records · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not allowing publication of papers in disagreement with your conclusions does not mean that your science is valid. Sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling "la la la la" doesn't make your stand correct. The fact that the sun (with it's current strange sunspot activity) is considered to have absolutely no effect on the Earths climate seems odd to me, but you must believe this to be a true GW fanatic. The fact that other planets are seeing similar effects is also considered off-topic. Hiding information so that nobody else can replicate your findings is considered good science.

  19. Re:Buy one get one? on NIH Orders Halt To Embryonic Stem Cell Research · · Score: 1

    I'm mostly kidding, but isn't there some decent way to weasel around this?

    Spoken like a true Democrat. If you don't like a law, ignore it. Don't enforce it. Weasel around it. And abuse those who want the law to be obeyed.

    Don't like dealing with illegal immigrants, because you think they can become votes for your party in the next election? Don't to it, and attack Arizona when they try to enforce the existing federal law.

  20. I'm Ok on Library of Congress Opens Records of Anti-Comic Book Shrink · · Score: 2, Funny

    I read these "so called" violent comic books in my youth, and I never became a violent person. If you keep saying so, I'll hunt you down and beat you to a bloody pulp!

  21. Most importantly on Prosecutor Loses Case For Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Did he cite the article in the original Klingon?

  22. Lost on Garmin Recalls 1.25M 'Fire Risk' Satnavs · · Score: 1

    So, there I was, driving my VW wagon merrily along, when my GPS suddenly exploded. I found myself on an island with underground bunkers and polar bears. How do I get back home when I can't even find a store to buy a new GPS from?

  23. ebox 720? on Lenovo To Launch Chinese Gaming Platform Called Ebox · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't they call it the ebox 720 so that it's not just like the xbox 360?

    I mean, the xbox 360 was a 360 degree change in direction, so shouldn't the ebox be able to spin in place longer than that?

  24. Are these on PR Firm Settles With FTC On Fake Game Reviews · · Score: 2, Funny

    Are these bloggers typical slashdot bloggers?

    Duke Nukem Forever is the wonderfulest game ever gone and played. It is more better than the other one. I dont no of any gooder game available for the xbox windows. It wood only gets betterer if they cud have included Natalie Portman as a playable character.

  25. Re:Astronomy? on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to cook jerky? Hasn't it been cooked enough already?
