  1. Rush'n Attack!!! on Wolfenstein Being Recalled In Germany · · Score: 1

    You obviously never played Rush'n Attack comrade!

  2. Slashdot or IRC on The Perils of Ramming Products Down IT's Throat · · Score: 1

    For a moment, I thought I was on Freenode!

  3. Jedi Light Saber Missles on Bullet-Proof Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 1

    I always wondered why if Jedi light sabers could cut through practically anything, they didn't put them on the end of missiles.

  4. No CSI:Caveman on Universal "Death Stench" Repels Bugs of All Types · · Score: 1

    What no CSI:Caveman edition? How primitive!

  5. Zorak Rules on Blizzard Offers Look Inside WoW At GDC · · Score: 1

    Forget Brak. Zorak kicks major ass.
    And don't knock him just because he is a virgin, and has never been eaten by a female. The same is true for the majority of Slashdotters too!

  6. Re:So, let's kill em all? Only way to be sure on Risk Aversion At Odds With Manned Space Exploration · · Score: 5, Funny

    The only way to be sure to "kill em all" is to nuke them from orbit, but that requires a Space Program.

  7. What seasoning is this Maw? on Pigeon Turns Out To Be Faster Than S. African Net · · Score: 1

    Maw, what you season this pigeon with? It tastes like burnt plastic, like when you cook over the trash barrel.

  8. In Southern US Rednecks with Shotguns on Pigeon Turns Out To Be Faster Than S. African Net · · Score: 1

    In the Southern US, major packet loss to pigeons are caused by rednecks with shotguns.

  9. No mention of MUDS? on The Case For Mandatory Touch-Typing In High School · · Score: 1

    My months of real logged on typing time on MUDS was invaluable. You basically learned to type fast and accurate or you died.

  10. Re:Vaccum Tubes from Russia on UK's Oldest Computer To Be "Rebooted" · · Score: 1

    Better watch out for trojans and backdoors in those tubes put there by the Russians, in case this computer were ever to be used against them in a war.

  11. RFID on UK Plans To Link Criminal Records To ID Cards · · Score: 1

    You can't expect the authorities to get out of the car do you?

    Just "scan" the crowd.

  12. Don't be so damn paranoid... on Homeland Security Changes Laptop Search Policy · · Score: 1

    They don't need to bug your computer... they have been in your/our TV's for decades now!

    What you thought it only received? HA HA HA!

  13. Loss of Privilege on Drug Vending Machines · · Score: 1

    Imagine what the inmates would do to anyone who made them "lose" this privilege!

  14. Manhattan Below Sea Level on Global Warming To Be Put On Trial? · · Score: 1

    My first thought was giant see-thru panels forming a big dike around the island. Then I thought about how dirty the water is there. Maybe they wouldn't want to see the dirty water. So it would be big dikes of maybe concrete, but painted in pretty murals of beaches or something pleasant to look at.

  15. Domesday Book on Thanks For the ... Eight-Track, Uncle Alex · · Score: 1

    How about a hard copy of one of the best preserved "time capsules" from the past?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesday_Book

    Just watch the recursion.

  16. Best/Worst Semester Ever on Habitual Multitaskers Do It Badly · · Score: 2, Funny

    I once took intermediate C++, Assembler, and Programming Languages(Pascal,Ada,Lisp,Prolog) in the same semester.
    Sometimes late at night I would code in an odd mixture of languages/syntax.

    I often wished it would work, but then I never tried in in a perl interpreter, so who knows.

  17. More information required. on Flickr Yanks Image of Obama As Joker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually it would be good to know your race if you make such claims about Obama.

    Not that it would not make you a racist, just need it to label you an Uncle Tom as well.

  18. I read that as "Walmart" on How To Build a 100,000-Port Ethernet Switch · · Score: 1

    bad quote: "Imagine the size of the Walmart needed to hold that thing!"

  19. Cause Global Warming to Increase! on NASA Developing Nuclear Reactor For Moon and Mars · · Score: 1

    It could cause global warming to like umm speed up and stuff. Nuclear stuff is bad,, it glows in the dark man!

  20. And if they just suck on the marshmallow on Joachim De Posada Talks About Delayed Gratification · · Score: 1

    If they just suck on the marshmallow, but don't swallow, they might be a past president!

  21. Re:C++0x? on Bjarne Stroustrup On Concepts, C++0x · · Score: 1

    That was a really optimistic placeholder. I can hardly wait for C++21XX to come out! Hopefully it won't be just the final version of C++0x. *wink*

  22. Re:Wash hands on Playing a First-Person Shooter Using Real Guns · · Score: 1

    "pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal"

    Yeah, definitely needs to wash hands before cooking. Computers are dirty!

  23. You jest but... on Want to Eat Chocolate Every Day For a Year? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It sure as hell made me think of my dear old mother-in-law!

  24. Centralized computing/storage on NSA To Use Cloud Model For Intelligence Analysis · · Score: 1

    Do the "Cloud Vendors" sell big cloud stickers to put over the data center portion of the design diagrams to hide the details from management?

    This sounds like centralized computing and storage on dedicated servers. They are not going to buy a slice of some public cloud computing infrastructure.

       

  25. Least they will look happy when they kill you. on Railway Workers Get Daily Smile Scans · · Score: 1

    Nice to know that with this level of training, even if an employee goes off their rocker and starts killing folks, they will at least look happy while they are doing it!
