  1. Re:SeaMonkey - how cute on SeaMonkey 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    If it does, just add water!

  2. Re:Huh? on Scientific Brain Linked to Autism · · Score: 1

    In slashdot terms, he wears the same kind of uniform that the guys who used to give us Slashdotters atomic wedgies in the locker room wore.

  3. Re:Hi! I am an animator. I am a millionaire. on Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse · · Score: 1

    If they blow it, the real 'assets' of Pixar can simply leave and go make another few million each.

    In this age of non-compete clauses and NDAs on IP, chances seem better that Disney could rake these guys over the coals in court for their insolence. They might have made a few million here, but that'll be gone fast once Disney launches a drawn out court battle over claims of stolen IP for a post-Pixar venture.

    Not only characters and likenesses, but all of those nifty inhouse production tools would have to be reinvented.

  4. Re:Blackberry "service"? on Supreme Court spurns RIM · · Score: 1

    What exactly is the Blackberry service? What does this mean for Sprint/Nextel customers?

    If this ruling would eradicate the crackberry addicts and the Nextel bleeping dipshits in one fell swoop, that would finally prove the existance of god.

  5. Re:Poor Emos! on Details of the LiveJournal Account Hacks · · Score: 1

    Nooo! Poor Emos! I can just see them shivering in a cold, dank corner

    Don't worry, I don't let those pansies anywhere near my corner.

  6. Re:Isaac Asimov would not have liked this! on South Korea To Develop Army and Police Robots · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since when do people in the real world have to abide by some rules created by a dead author for use in his science FICTION books?

    *cough*SCIENTOLOGY*cough*

  7. Re:Dogs on New Device to Detect Skin Cancer From A Picture? · · Score: 4, Funny

    They should also research the dogs that can sniff out cancer. I'm sure that would be a much cheaper (and more fun) solution for patients.

    Doctor: I have bad news. You have advanced melinoma and have only a year to live. The good news is that Patches made the diagnosis! Didn't you, my good boy? Awww, now give the doomed patient some kisses.

  8. Re:You think keyboards are disgusting? on Keyboards Are Disgusting · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, the computer will have a moisture sensor so it can reply "hey sylvester, how about the news, not the weather?".

  9. Re:Another? on WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor? · · Score: 4, Funny

    How about a link to information on the "other" intentional back doors that exist?

    *looks at clipboard*

    Ok Goatse linkers, thats your cue.

  10. Re:Green pigs eh? on Taiwan Breeds Transgenic, Fluorescent Green Pigs · · Score: 1

    How dare you ruin a good idea with your fancy facts and right answers!

  11. Stay tuned for next weeks episode on 'The IT Crowd' UK Sit-com · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a recipe for wackyness when a linux vs. bsd flamewar breaks out and the flamboyantly gay sidekick has a date with two men on the same night at the same time! Bronson Pinchot guest stars.

  12. Re:Constitutional crisis brewing on NSA Wiretapping Whistleblower · · Score: 1

    This is a takeover of the democratic process itself. The president is acting as a dictator by being above the law.

    This is why his base loves him. To them, he's a maverick who won't allow stupid red tape to stand in the way of protecting the American people. The more he does it, the more they eat it up.

  13. Re:Yes, I'm sure Spielberg really did this on Spielberg Bitten by DVD Encryption · · Score: 1
    Why didn't you all blame Neil Diamond when his new CD was one of the ones with the Sony rootkit fiasco tied into it?

    How could you possibly be mad at guy who comes up with choice lyrics like this:



    I am, I said
    To no one there
    And no one heard at all
    Not even the chair

  14. Re:Does it suggest asking for the job? on Landing the Internship or Full-Time Job · · Score: 1

    I've typically phrased it from the point of view of saving them time, e.g. "so, why don't you save yourself some time and hassle, and just hire me now?"

    Many corporations have policies that require them to interview all qualfied candidates that submit for a job (especially internal candidates). A tactic like that would have to depend on the interviewer. Some may be impressed by it while others would be put off by the perceived cockyness and arrogance that gives off. No offense intended to the parent poster.

  15. Re:Noddy Advice on Landing the Internship or Full-Time Job · · Score: 1

    I had a halfway competent careers officer in my school and this book doesn't sound much better.

    Are these the same people who think objective statements on resumes are a good idea? Why state the obvious and waste ink?

  16. Re:Take the job on Landing the Internship or Full-Time Job · · Score: 1

    Very true. Some companies are dependent on intern labor in that fashion. Straight out of college, I interned at a record label where a large batch of interns did most of the office work and preparation for promo gigs (most not for college credit, but trying to get into the industry) . One guy who was an employee had interned there for several months (no pay, no college credits, just some free cds) before he was their mailroom sort of guy.

    That place sucked.

  17. Re:any books for 33 year olds? on Landing the Internship or Full-Time Job · · Score: 4, Funny

    Check Amazon for a book called "Final Exit". It'll be far less painful this way.

  18. Re:Bankrupcy? on Spammer Gets $11 Billion Fine · · Score: 5, Informative

    Are you allowed to declare bankrupcy if you owe money via criminal court order?

    Nope, judgements and federally subsidized loans cannot be discharged by bankrupcy.

  19. Re:Cue comments... on Futurama to be Resurrected? · · Score: 1

    So the Trekkers who want to see Scott Bacula's show continue should lobby for the renewal of Fenterprise.

  20. Re:This Is Genius! on The Physics Behind Car Crashes · · Score: 1

    No, what they need to do is strengthen the windshield wiper motors. Damn near burned mine out trying to wipe off the little bits of crossing guard from yesterday.

  21. Re:Patent Infringement Potential? on New Aircraft is Part Blimp and Part Airplane · · Score: 1

    Awesome, now I can play Stairway to Heaven without paying royalties.

  22. Re:I don't see... on Motorola Unveils iRadio · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I fail to see how this is superior to a Treo 650 with free shoutcast streaming audio.
    You'll have to once the providers wise up to this and block common streaming audio ports.

  23. I guess on Scientists Witness Meteor Strike on the Moon · · Score: 1

    I guess that lunar Ben Affleck and lunar Bruce Willis and their ragtag group of lunar drilling guys failed to blow up the asteroid.

  24. Re:The most important skill on Hot Tech Skills For 2006? · · Score: 1

    Why are you making your personal bad experience this other guy's problem?

      In the mid-90's, a guy from my ham radio club wanted to recruit me into this MLM telecom scheme (Excel). To make the attendees salivate at the prospect of making money, they have one rep show up in a late model Porsche bought with money earned selling long distance service to dupes.

    Not to accuse the GP of running a scam like that, but it seems like the he was using an exaggerated or atypical story of success to motivate.

  25. Re:The great whopper fiasco on Great Hacks and Pranks Of Our Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have no idea how relations are today, but at The University of Alabama in the mid 80s people who lived in greek houses and those that lived off-campus were constantly at odds over who should be elected to student council.

    Ah a prank before our very eyes. A UNIVERSITY in ALABAMA?

    A talking unicorn would've been more feasable.
