  1. How Silly on Search Engines Leech Value from Web Sites · · Score: 1

    What a bunch of FUD.

    "The web sites that create content are now simply fodder for the Xs' revenue stream."

    Replace "X" with just about any internet related technology. How many fewer computers would Dell sell if it wasn't for the internet and how does that affect content providers? Where is the statistically significant correlation? Sort of like comparing the inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.

  2. Apparently? on Sci-Fi Channel to Pick Up John Doe · · Score: 1

    It's raining new shows on Sci-Fi, apparently.

    From the lineup, you'd have to say it's raining 'something' at the Sci-Fi channel that starts with "sh". They really need to start focusing on quality over quantity. I understand the theory of throwing a bunch of shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, but this is getting ridiculous.

  3. Re:Submitters don't need a link back on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    but i think that a user who gets a story posted to Slashdot should be allowed to link their vanity domain. Thats part of the fun!

    Bet you most people don't even notice or care about links back to a domain. I know I don't. Why don't you take a poll?

  4. Should've got Dick Dale instead.... on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...they could have used "Wipe Out".

  5. Obligatory on A Better Anti-Phishing Toolbar? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Netcraft confirms it.

    Seriously, it is a pretty good bar. I just wish its appearance/position was a little more customizable.

  6. Doesn't affect me... on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 0

    ...and I'll never need more than 640KB of RAM.

  7. Infinite Loop on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: 0, Funny

    Wonder if Neowin will start posting slahdot dupes and then someone from slashdot can start posting the Neowin dupes that are dupes, etc.

  8. Question on The Lost Final Fantasy · · Score: 0, Troll

    I am not a video game freak (IANAVGF). How can something be the "Final Fantasy" if it is not the last one? Wouldn't it be something like "Second to the Last Fantasy" or "Almost the Last Fantasy", etc?

  9. Re:America has officially lost its monopoly on stu on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 0

    Better quote from site:

    Entering the Kingdom of Uranus
    The Cadets find their entrance into the Kingdom of Uranus to be a very moving experience.


    So maybe this whole thing is not idiocy, just harmless hilarity.

  10. #5 is for Wusses on Top 10 System Administrator Truths · · Score: 0

    Backups are crucial? C'mon, real men don't backu+++ATH NO CARRIER

  11. Two Words on Is the Save Button Obsolete? · · Score: 0

    Version Control

  12. Suggestion on Searchable C/C++ DB surpasses 275 million lines · · Score: 5, Funny

    "I'm currently looking for suggestions..."

    How about a new server?

  13. Re:Why .xxx won't work on ICANN Meeting Passes on .com, .xxx decisions · · Score: 0

    Nope, won't work either. Who decides what is really filthy shit? You or my grandmother? The same goes for "sex". We've had US presidents who consider the definition of what sex *is* as a gray area.

  14. Re:No double standard on Course Debunking Intelligent Design Canceled · · Score: 2, Funny

    You wouldn't laugh at a person with alzheimers, would you?

    No but we'd boo at the Special Olympics.

  15. Re:Mixed Emotions on Lockheed Martin Selects Linux for Missile Defense · · Score: 0

    Conservative logic:

    Abortion=bad because it kills people

    Ok to kill people in war or under the death penalty

  16. Et tu? on ICANN Considers Single Letter Domains · · Score: -1
  17. And you only get... on Cyber Monday Doesn't Exist · · Score: 0

    ...2,920 results for a Google search on "Cyber Monkey". Something just isn't right here.

  18. Mixed Emotions on Lockheed Martin Selects Linux for Missile Defense · · Score: 0

    United States Army + Linux
     
    Feels sort of like watching my mother-in-law drive off a cliff in my new Mercedes.

  19. Re:Trash Cans; shredding machines on The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers? · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's also a good place for "Intel Inside".

    The toilets at work all have the Intel stickers on the bowl. Apparently the janitorial crew either has a good sense of humor or no clue.

  20. Proof of Concept Code on Zero-Day IE Exploit Takes Control of PCs · · Score: 0

    Computer Terrorism Ltd. published the proof of concept code on Monday. Their example even seems to hang my copy of Firefox.
     

  21. International Year of Physics on 100th Anniversary of E=mc^2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    The main reason 2005 was choosen. Have you {{{hugged}}} your local physicists this year?

  22. Re:Why pay for your own? on Fall 2005 Photo Printer Buyers Guide · · Score: 0

    ...because Walgreens won't print the pictures my wife took of me on our trip to a nude beach. Bastards! I know this is Slashdot, but don't ask for the pictures I took of her, or her sister... or the dog.

  23. Colored toy bubbles? on Best of What's New 2005 · · Score: 4, Funny

    ?? As opposed to colored military-grade bubbles.

  24. Smart Move? on Intel Roadmap Update: The Art of Naming Processors · · Score: 0

    Maybe it was or maybe it wasn't but they had to do something. Intel got hammered by IP 'laws' like many other companies.

  25. No Thank You on California Class Action Suit Sony Over Rootkit DRM · · Score: 0

    It'll be interesting to see who is getting in on this lawsuit. In other words, who would actually admit in legal documents that they purchased one of the following?

    Trey Anastasio, Shine (Columbia)
    Celine Dion, On ne Change Pas (Epic)
    Neil Diamond, 12 Songs (Columbia)
    Ricky Martin, Life (Columbia)
