  1. Re:Easy solution! on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 1

    figure out how to stop creating sinkholes that open up under minivans with children inside.

    To paraphrase Nathan Hale: "I regret that they have but one life to give for my broadband".

  2. Re:This just in from Redmond .... on Patrick Volkerding Battles Mystery Illness · · Score: 1

    Thats not funny, it's a shame to see another suffer from the scourge that is tar.gz.ilioma (aka Tarball Lung).

    Perhaps he is eligible for a large cash settlement....

  3. Re:I am not a doctor... on Patrick Volkerding Battles Mystery Illness · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    but I play one on SlashDot.

    ummm, don't look at me either.

  4. Re:hello 1984 on Senate May Rush Copyright Legislation · · Score: 1

    George, where are you?

    Call off the hounds.

  5. Journey? on The Music Man · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can he do it? Maybe, but you know what they say; it's the journey not the destination.

    Don't worry, I'm sure he's got Journey in there too.

  6. Re:Coasters on AOL Dumping Some Broadband · · Score: 2, Funny

    At the very least, AOL will let them come over to pick up their stuff.

  7. Re:Walt Whitman Mall of NY has um on Nintendo Blocking Counterfeit Game Machines · · Score: 1

    Heh, I saw that when I was there. For a ritzy spot, they have some weird carts. Even one that sells hermit crabs.

  8. Re:There aren't always two sides to an issue on How Journalists Distort Science with Balance · · Score: 1

    Who gets to decide what is truth and what isn't?

    What is wrong with letting the audience make their own minds up?

  9. Re:Perpetual backups on Bit Rot Stalks Your Digital Keepsakes · · Score: 1

    That isn't far from the mark. The Church of Scientology has a method where texts are stamped onto sheets of titanium. Guaranteed to last 10k years or so.

  10. Re:Yet still "labor shortage" claims on Techies Migrate in Search of Work · · Score: 1

    In addition to skills and experience, the willingness to work for less money seems to be a qualification in that case.

  11. Re:Uh... guys... on US Ready to put Weapons in Space · · Score: 1

    It's also nothing new as there have been weapons in space intermittently for many years, but nearly all the time now.

    What you ask?

    The Soyuz capsule on the ISS has a .22 pistol on board in the survival kit. It was meant for Cosmonaut protection if they splashed down in hostile territory.

  12. Re:AD&D on Ask Director of 'Trekkies' Roger Nygard · · Score: 1

    Why stop there!

    LARPers, furries, plushies, linux kernel hackers..

    Comedy goldmine!


    He makes documentaries, not horror films.

  13. Re:The '/dev/null' idiom on Programmers Hold Funerals for Old Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    Our school's CS cluster was maintained partly by students, one of whom was me. I was, of course, very inexperienced in actual Unix administration, though I had read Slashdot, Usenet, etc.,

    Here's another moral: learning Unix administration on Slashdot is like learning emergency medicine by watching ER.

  14. Re:Consistent Voting on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 1


    If America is the greatest country in the world, with it's freedoms and the right to vote, why can't they decide on a consistent form of voting?

    If a square is really a rhombus, why aren't all triangles purple?


    And they never asked Dave another question...

  15. Re:At least bush knows he won now on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    For his last term bush may have been haunted by doubts that he was never truly the choice of the people.

    At least this time he knows he is.


    Thats why the Bush slogan is: "Bush 2004: Lets make it legal this time".

  16. Re:The most important thing to keep in mind.... on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 2, Funny

    Remember to vote, or P. Diddy will kill you.

    He doesn't vote for himself. He just stands outside the voting booth and goes "yeah, unh, uh-huh, thats right, uh".

  17. Re:Wrong Movie... on New Hominid Species Unearthed in Indonesia · · Score: 1

    What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?

  18. Re:New species explaination on New Hominid Species Unearthed in Indonesia · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe these tiny people have some kind of sickness (or just look tiny), and were therefore exiled from the main(is)land?

    Maybe they just represent the Lollypop Guild.

  19. Re:Spoliers! on Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never taken any aerodynamics classes. The point of the spoiler isn't for traction, it goes along with the basic understanding that an airfoil will provide a significant horsepower increase.

    Pot... come in pot, this is Kettle. You're looking mighty black today, over.

  20. Re:And soon to be released.... on New Star Wars DVD for Trivia Buffs · · Score: 1

    Oh yes, on the Triumph the Insult Comic Dog DVD, that whole part of harassing Star Wars geeks as they camp out for Episode II is worth the price of admission alone.

    My favorite is when he went up to a guy in a full Darth Vader costume, asking an innocuous question about the buttons on the front of the costume, then followed it up with "which one of these buttons do you press to have your parents come pick you up?".

  21. Cooperation on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know that the Ubuntu project cooperates with Debian. Are there any alliances with the other Debian-based distros like Mepis or Knoppix?

  22. Re:Money? on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 1

    My question is: Can I have a hundred bucks?

    Only if you buy Timothy a dictionary with the word "astronaut" highlighted.

  23. Re:Newater on Would You Drink This Water? · · Score: 1

    Out friendly neighbours Malaysia also had a field day making remarks such as "Singaporeans are resorting to drinking their own pee"

    Carry around a bottle of apple juice for when the next person makes a comment like that. Be proud and take a swig of the apple juice. Offer them some.

    They'll never bring it up again.

  24. Re:This is where ambition serves the public good on Spitzer Takes On Record Industry Payola · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yep, he's also made national headlines for going after the shysters hawking those Freedom Tower coins claimed to be made of silver pulled from Ground Zero and is legal tender*.

    Sure it's a political powerplay, but one that actually benefits people.

    * - if you happen to be in the US Territory of the Marianas Islands.

  25. Re:Same in America, comrade. on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 1

    What, am I going to blow $20 so myself and a date can go watch Eurotrip?

    I think you're a bit confused as to who does the blowing on a date...
