  1. The Redundant Meaning of Redundancy [say what?] on 37 Operating Systems, 1 PC · · Score: 0, Redundant

    However, I decided to stop at around 10 versions [of linux] because any more seemed redundant.

  2. Dang, I wish I'd thought of this article on State of Online Music: RIAA's Efforts Paying Off · · Score: 1

    Then I could get people to download my songs for free.

    Dang, I just wasn't thinking. The horrors of a Star Trek punk band....

  3. DeNiro Trek on De Niro Seeks Science-Oriented Film Scripts · · Score: 1

    By going back in time to yesterdays /. I've decided:

    DeNiro should take over the Enterprise movie (you know it's coming). He can travel back in time ("S.T. IV: The Voyage Home"; "S.T. VIII: First Contact"), seize the power of life ("S.T. II: The Wrath of Khan"; "S.T. V: The Final Frontier"; "S.T. VII: Generations"; "S.T. IX: Insurrection"), and kill Count Bakula. Then Bakula can come back from the dead and take over "S.T. III: The Search for Spock"; "S.T. VII: Generations"; "S.T. VIII: First Contact").

    Please kill me.

  4. Nigerian David Lee Roth on Slashback: Segwait, Farscape, Leg-pulling · · Score: 4, Funny

    Here's where a couple guys respond to Nigerian scam pages as David Lee Roth and say they'll send the money. It's pretty good getting Nigerian scammers to go to the airport to meet them holding a sign that says "David Lee Roth" on it.

    Sorry it's on geocities, but hey...

  5. Re:True story: on When Users Attack · · Score: 1

    That's great to compare it to cars.

    I worked as a mechanic for a while and people would do dumb stuff to their cars. Like taking off the oil cap, not seeing oil, so they poured oil in until they could see it. "Hey, I added 10 quarts of oil, I don't know what happened".

    Or the overheating Mercedes where the owner opened the oil cap and poured coolant into the valve cover to "top it off".

    Or the guy who changed his own oil and poured in the new oil through the dipstick hole. It worked, and he was proud that he did it, but it must've taken him an hour to do it. "Uh, here's the oil cap. You can dump in a quart at a time instead of dribbling it in".

    I can't ballroom dance, but if I screw up while tryin to do it, it ain't gonna cost me hundreds of dollars.

  6. Thank God for Geeks on Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots · · Score: 1

    A ton of comments that say "Battlebots blows, Robot Wars where it's at". I'm sure Robot Wars will be cancelled next season. You don't make money peddling to geeks. If everyone here was happy, we'd be watching the 30th season of Star Trek TOS on linux boxen. Of course someone would be trolling saying "Spock's gay, I like Windows 98, and my SUV is the biggest".

  7. Re:Eyeball to Eyeball with the Feds on How Has Post-9/11 Legislation Affected You? · · Score: 1


    Oh yeah, my favorite is they're banning transformers on planes. I hear The Man is worried about my Deciptacons taking over a 747.

    Let the Beast Wars begin!

  8. and where's Wesley? on Doctor Phlox on Season 2 of Enterprise · · Score: 1

    You say on NG it was Troi, but we all know it was Wesley Crusher. Annoying as hell until we read his site and realized he's a geek just like all of us.

    I'm in a Star Trek punk rock band, and I'm the token annoying character in that. No Kill I

    One of us! One of us! One of us!

  9. Sacramento -- Monkey bar on Slashdot Meetup Reminder · · Score: 1

    The Monkey bar? It'll be a nice place for a bunch of geeks to get beaten up by frat boys. I'll be sure to show up wearing a Stormtrooper costume for good luck.

  10. Sacramento, California - Worlds Best Comics on Anime Stores, Rentals and Theaters? · · Score: 1


    World's Best Comics on Watt & El Camino (same part of the Tower mini-mall where the bowling alley is).

  11. Re:Since when has this site turned from... on Cops Have Got Your Number · · Score: 1

    No, the road to hell is paved with unbought stuffed dogs. At least according to Hemingway. And didn't you mean to put a sarcastic quote around "protection"?

    And on someone elses comment: I've had my share of run-ins with bad cops. Cops assume everyone is a criminal because they deal with criminals all day. I assume cops are bad because I've dealt with more bad cops than friendly ones. Although the friendliest cop I've met was in Chicago. He talked about how he killed a gangsta because he was sick of replying to calls to his house because the guy beat up his girlfriend. The cops said "don't make us come back or we'll kill you" and they did. But he was a really nice guy (which is scarey).
