  1. Yes on World's Longest High-Speed Rail Line Opens In China · · Score: 1

    But they only have two bottles of the good stuff, and the rest is rotgut. Even my wife knew something was up when her "Crown and Coke" was really Jack Daniels and Pepsi.

  2. Downside to Amtrak on World's Longest High-Speed Rail Line Opens In China · · Score: 1

    Don't worry *bump* about the *bump* downside. It is *bump* matched by the *bump* upside to each *bump*.

    Took me a whole day to stop "bouncing" after I got off the train ride of 12 hours.

  3. Forget SSH on Lax SSH Key Management A "Big Problem" · · Score: 1

    Is he going to run around yelling, "The plane, boss the plane!"

    That would be a good reason to come out of retirement.

  4. Lunar Amazons! on Twin Probes Crash Into the Moon · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the Lunar Amazonian women may be really pissed!

  5. low uid are like college degrees on Apple and Google Joining Forces On Kodak Patents Bid · · Score: 1

    Low uid are like college degrees. If you have one you find yourself having to defend its worth. Yes I have both and they are worth it. Got them at the same time actually.

  6. If they include a dedicated WOW server or two.... on Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    If they include a dedicated WOW server or two and list unlimited play time during the trip, they won't need any more volunteers.

  7. Re: a gigabyte is a gigabyte on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte

    Interesting read on why there is confusion about the meaning of the size of a Gigabyte.

  8. Re: a gigabyte is a gigabyte on Ask Slashdot: AT&T's Data Usage Definition Proprietary? · · Score: 1

    "a gigabyte is a gigabyte"
    Somebody please tell that to the hard disk manufacturers.

    Han: Leia you still got that outfit Jaba put on you? *wink wink*
    Leia: Sure I do. *YELL - 3PO - I need my outfit back!!
    Han: Um, never mind.

  10. I'm confused... on How Red Teams Hack Your Site To Save It · · Score: 1

    I'm confused... are we at war with Eurasia today?

    Not twice as much....but 200% more.

  12. Re:Open Source Bulldozer? on The Survival Machine Farm · · Score: 1

    Might work. Does it come with the operator seen in the picture? I can't ever seem to find my elbow grease.

  13. Have you tried Emacs? on The IDE As a Bad Programming Language Enabler · · Score: 1

    Have you tried Emacs? It is my favorite operating system. Sure the text editor is a bit weak, but overall it totally rocks!

  14. some of them stayed cocky :) on Ask Slashdot: Rectifying Nerd Arrogance? · · Score: 1

    Were these by chance promoted to management?

  15. I still love my LS-120 on What To Do With Those First Generation Photo Frames? · · Score: 1

    I will sell you my limited stock of media for $500 per 120 MB disk.

  16. My very own troll... on Dominion Announces Plans To Close Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station In 2013 · · Score: 1

    I always wanted a troll of my very own. ;)

  17. Common mistake on Dominion Announces Plans To Close Kewaunee Nuclear Power Station In 2013 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    See, Star Trek is a fictional, ie not TRUE, account of a future where mankind is dominated by the military, ie Federation and Starfleet.

    It is a common mistake to confuse it with Star Wars, which is a historical documentary of something "Long ago, in a Galaxy far far away".

    Crocodile Dundee called. He said, "Not in my Outback yard!"

  22. Could be worse... on Randomly Generated Math Article Accepted By 'Open-Access' Journal · · Score: 5, Funny

    It could have been worse. They could have accepted a legitimate paper on mathematics written by a person with a Computer Science degree.

  23. I live in LA on Google's Engineers Are Well Paid, Not Just Well Fed · · Score: 1

    I got about 4 acres of land with a 3, 500 sq ft home. Mortgage payment is around $1000/month. I live 20 minutes from work.

    Oh, I live in Louisiana, not that other LA. But our home prices haven't bottomed out, so I can live with it.

  24. Definitely not facebook stockholders on Vast Bulk of BitCoins Are Hoarded, Not Used · · Score: 1

    Definitely not facebook stockholders hoarding these.

  25. Debate created some jobs last night on US Presidential Debate #2 Tonight: Discuss Here · · Score: 1

    All of the liberal companies are having their HR departments scour their departments for "binders full of women" and getting rid of them. It is no longer politically correct to store employee information in binders. That is disrespectful to them, most especially to women.

    Think of all the temp/part time jobs this has created!
