  1. Re:why? on Gateway to Ship PCs with Pre-Installed DRM Music Files · · Score: 5, Funny

    I cannot fault Gateway for trying to provide their customers a value-added item like this (like smallpox to the Native-Americans...)

    At least the Natives got blankets out of the deal.

  2. Re:Now taking bets.. on Kid-Safe Domain Created · · Score: 2

    I'd rather place my bets on when good 'ol Mr. Goatse will set up shop there to prove a point.

  3. Re:Reciprocal Effect on The Great Firewall of China - Samples of Filtered Sites · · Score: 2

    Does the Chinese government really believe that bloaking access to information is going to keep the masses in line?

    They have to. Anarchy would break out if the Chinese knew that we offer delicious all-you-can-eat jumbo shrimp for only $14.99 for a limited time.

  4. Re:Will Smith as the robot? on Will Smith as I, Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    Will Smith points to Robbie from Lost in Space:

    "Old and Busted"

    Will Smith points to self:

    "New hotness"

  6. Re:Domesday? on Digital Domesday Rescued By Emulation · · Score: 2, Troll

    Doomsday is the day that Doom III will be released. This may or may not coincide with the end of the world as we know it. YMMV.

  7. Re:What is this?! A Jerry Lewis Dupe-a-Thon? on Hark! I Hear a Dropped Packet! · · Score: 2

    Oh pretty lady! Don't with the duplicate stories post!

    /Jerry Lewis voice

  8. Slashdot is doing it too.. on When Personalization Runs Amuck · · Score: 2

    It keeps on thinking that we want to read the same article on gay pregnant TiVo users... :)

  9. Can you hear me now? on Using Sound To Test Internet Connections · · Score: 2

    Good.

  10. Dear Santa Taco, on Top SciTech Gifts 2002 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I would like my karma set back to a numerical score. I know you and Cowboy Elf are hard at work for Slashdotmas, but that is my wish for the year. I have been very good and not trolled all year long.

  11. Paging Mr. Steinbeck.... on Human-Mouse Hybrids? · · Score: 2

    This is exactly what John Steinbeck predicted in "Of Mice and Men". I, for one, welcome our cheese-loving overlords.

  12. Re:Emusic-slightly OT on Universal Music Group's New Music Sharing Service · · Score: 1

    Zinf, for me, has ceased to function when E-music moved away from the RMP format and needed Zinf 2.2.1. You used to be able to d/l single tracks via the browser, and now even thats dependent on zinf/Emusic Download Manager. How long ago did you end your subscription?

  13. Re:what? on When Profiling Goes Wrong · · Score: 2

    what does "a pregnant gay man" like to watch?

    It's times like these that I could kick myself for letting my subscription to "Pregnant Gay Man TV Guide" expire.

  14. Darn on RadioShack Stops Being Nosy · · Score: 2

    There goes another source of entertainment. I would give the Radio Shack corporate address every time I shopped there. One time, a manager overheard me and asked what I see when I look out my window. I replied "Some shitty electronics store".

    He left me alone.

    At least there's still Microcenter. I go by the name of Salman Rushdie there.

  15. Re:No different at ORNL on LANL Warning About Radioactive Trees · · Score: 5, Funny

    several men, wearing bunny suits and wielding chainsaws were hard at work felling the trees

    That describes most of my dreams since I was ten. Weird.

  16. Why do you mock me so? on Do People Really Use Their PDAs? · · Score: 2

    Understand where I'm coming from:

    After a couple of setbacks, I received a used Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 at an Ebay auction. Being a typical geek, I could not wait to fire it up and hack around on it. Little did I realize, the package did not include the AC adapter. Now I have a sweet little Zaurus that is as dead as a doornail. The adapter cannot be found at retail ANYWHERE (except in NYC, but I'm not that desperate). I have an adapter on order and should hopefully be here by the middle of the week. In the meantime, I have a paperweight.

    Then I see this thread and I will weigh in with my answer: I pretend to use my PDA.

  17. Re:Hrmm on [Napster] 11 - End of the Road.mp3 · · Score: 4, Funny

    No chance of that. The band had to sell their pens just to make ends meet, thanks to piracy. They had some markers awhile back, but they used them up making signs that said: "Will rock out for food".

  18. Re:Yes! on First Emergency Use of Whole-Aircraft Parachute · · Score: 2

    Ignore the creature on the wing and you'll be just fine.

  19. Re:damn spammers on Another Millionaire Spammer Story · · Score: 2

    From Clerks the Animated Series:

    British Guy: Pack of fags?
    Randall: You're a fag.
    British Guy: Its a cigarette, mate.
    Randall: I'm not your mate, fag.

    Karma, I hardly knew ye....

  20. Re:Memorable Quotes of Ellen Feiss... on Ellen Feiss Interview · · Score: 4, Funny

    "I got shuttled down to New York, and I got VIP seating, and I was like, "Wow, I'm at the Oscars or something," but then I was like, "No, I'm at Macworld.""

    I remember her. She's the one who cheered when Woz got the Best Picture Oscar.

  21. Re:What I want to see in a Star Trek movie... on Star Trek Nemesis Preview Online · · Score: 2

    With the trans-warp barrier broken in an episode of Voyager, its a definite possibility. They only have to deal with that messy de-evolution thing.

  22. So when... on High Tech Shopping Carts Offer Discounts, Ads · · Score: 2

    the clerk goes into the parking lot to collect the stray carts, he/she will really be making a beowulf cluster of these?

  23. Re:your reputation on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'd like to add something along this same vein from a long-time TZ fan:

    What did you think of John Lithgow's portrayal of your character in the film adaptation of the "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" for the Twilight Zone movie?

    Also, any Rod Serling anecdotes you'd like to share?

  24. Transporter on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 2

    Did it feel weird at all to use the transporter, or did you get used to it over time?

    Also, Have you ever written the days date on a check in stardate? I hate doing that.

  25. Re:Grudgingly Admitting it is a Good Idea on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Wait the only large bloody rectum I have ever seen. And it is more ubitiqous than the Bonzai buddy pop up.

    Not quite. I haven't heard the large bloody rectum tell me where I can buy my favorite books on Amazon.
