  1. A Name For This Type Of App: on P2P Roaming Chat · · Score: 1

    MMORPC; Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Chat. Why roleplaying? Well, it'll take all of three seconds before the entire population of the online community is FBI agents posing as 14 year old girls (or boys, now that the internet is taking off in Catholicism).

  2. TI Calculators Are Great on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: 1

    I first became interested in programming after seeing downloading a snake game onto my TI-83 in grade 8. It was non-assembly, so the source was visible, and I became greatly interested in the concepts. I learned most of the programming concepts that I still use today by screwing around on it during french class (although my french average dropped from an 85% to a 60% in the last two years). That crappy little TI-BASIC (language?) was my introduction to what is one of my favourite hobbies today, and possibly my future career. Even after learning some higher level languages, I still like to go back to the TI every now and then (during comp-sci class, as it is more interesting than this "OOT" shit-language they teach) to work in a simple environment. Of course, the real reason that I still program it, is that if I want to play any games on it, I need to make them myself (I fatally short circuited the link port by sticking the free end of a link cable in my mouth and pressing send on a dare).

  3. I Didn't Read The Article on UK Government Expands Spying Powers · · Score: 1

    I just saw "UK" and "spying" in the same general area, and the guitar immediately started off in my head. I haven't read through, because I don't want to destroy my euphoric mood by finding out that the article's only some whiny editor complaining about how the government's trying to track and shut down a child pornography ring, and how tahts a rights violation, or some other typical Slashcrap.

  4. I Don't Know If I'd Want To on Do-it-yourself UPS · · Score: 2, Funny
    The Speed of Business has been estimated, by a group of eminent physicists and economists, as roughly equivalent to the Ludicrous Speed. Seeing as how I have restraining belts in my garage workshop, stopping for lunch might destroy my beautiful helmet, thus rendering me unnattractive to that nice Druish girl I'm holding captive. No, I'll leave UPS to the proffessionals.

    Note to MOCs (Moderators On Crack): not offtopic, as comment is based on a rather uncreative allusion to what I originally thought was the story's topic after first reading its subject line, before reading the body.

  5. Also Sues (non-audio) Galaxy on RIAA Sues Audiogalaxy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Claims background radio-band noise sounds too much like the new (insert popular shit band here) album. Claims damages worthy of galaxy submitting itself to RIAA Imperial Rule, wants cost of moon-sized battlestation covered.

  6. Can't... Take... It... ARGH!!! on Eldred Attracts Heavyweight Supporters · · Score: 1
    Why the hell would it be a good thing for heavyweights to to have briefs that are opening, especially in court?!

    Sorry.

  7. Re:Something to think about on Episode II Surpasses $116 Million at Box Office · · Score: 1

    Calling Bill Gates a millionaire is like calling his prime product a nuisance.

  8. A Limerick on Review: Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1
    I once skipped school to see a movie Just missed Phys. Ed. which was fine for me When Portman got nippy I got a huge stiffy Once home 'net pictures filled me with glee!

    Yeah, the rhymes don't really work, but I just wanted to express what I'm sure many other Slashdotters are feeling, a renewed crush on Natalie Portman, stronger than ever, once seeing her in reasonable(ly revealing) clothing and showing a half bit of emotion.

  9. Are You Kidding? on Slashback: Counterstrike, Identification, Patenxtortion · · Score: 3, Funny

    Counter-Strike is horrible training. Imagine the inefficiency in a real-life situation stemming from wall-hack paranoia.

  10. Why Does SETI@Home Get All The Glory? on Slashback: Hagiography, Oracle, Fusion · · Score: 3, Funny

    I turn in trajllions of results per day to Brilliant Digital Entertainment. But where's my parade?!

  11. Re:Does anyone else find it interesting... on Attack of the Clones Cut in UK · · Score: 1

    I hate Americans because they all make stereotypes. _All_ of them!

  12. Isn't It Obvious? on Bionic Retinas Give Patients Sight · · Score: 1

    They named it after the Television show, of course!

  13. This Guy Built The Periodic Table Table... on Periodic Table Table · · Score: 2, Funny
    Here's the Periodic Periodic Table

    This week's installment:

    • Name: hydrogen
    • Symbol: H
    • Atomic number: 1
    • Atomic weight: 1.00794 (7) g m r

    stay tuned next week for: Helium

  14. Agile Model? I Know of One: on Agile Modeling · · Score: 0
    Here's an agile model.

    Moderators, I realize your brain says "-1 Troll", but the rapid movement of your collective right hands suggests a "+5 Informative", perhaps. ;)

  15. Re:A Proposal: on Apple Drops Mac OS 9 · · Score: 0
    Let me translate, you god-damned moderator on crack: X is more than (connoting better than) 9, posted to an article on Apple's OS9 being completely phased out by Aplle's OSX.

    You may not realise this, but a false "-1 offtopic" can really hurt a guy.

  16. A Proposal: on Apple Drops Mac OS 9 · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    "x>9": an emoticon denoting the extreme pain induced by a Jobsian freak's rant.

    Thank you for your time.

  17. Why... on Microsoft's $40 Billion On Hand · · Score: 0
    ...Slashdot subscriptions for everyone in the world, of course!!!

  18. My Response: on The Plague of Frogs · · Score: 0

    vvvmmmvvvrrvv... AAH!!! Toomuchpressure!!!

  19. Umm... What Does "e" Stand For Again? on Apple Releases New PowerBook and the eMac · · Score: 0

    Oh yeah, electronic, as in electronic mail or electronic business. An electronic Mac?! Imagine that!

  20. Other Virus Scares... on Viruses: More Hype than Danger? · · Score: 0
  21. Re:Phantom Edit / Lucas's worldview on Attack of the Clones: Less Plastic Crap, More Story? · · Score: 0

    Oh yeah, try telling Wil that no one hates child heroes.

  22. Come On, People... on Transforming Orbit Into A Wasteland · · Score: 0

    ...would a single N'Sync member's corpse really make that much of a difference?

  23. I'll Just Get It Over With... on Lunar Power · · Score: 0

    ...That's Lunacy!

  24. You Can't Possibly Forget... on The Periodic Table of Comic Book Elements · · Score: 0

    ...SPOON!!!ium I mean, come on, its just common sense.

  25. Indeed on Intel's 2.4GHz Pentium 4 Unleashed · · Score: 1, Funny

    "Unleashed" is accurate. This reminds me of an old klingon proverb: "What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes,' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake."
