  1. Math on Microsoft's Vista AV Fails Certification · · Score: 1

    90+ :)

  2. NORMAN... on Microsoft's Vista AV Fails Certification · · Score: 1

    ... is in Ireland!

  3. Re:No big deal on DNS Root Servers Attacked · · Score: 1

    Right! I visit 127.0.0.1 all the time.

  4. Re:Ettiquette on 'Best' Fake Blog of 2006 Awarded · · Score: 1

    Good. Wish I had mod points :)

  5. Re:ch-ch-ch-chaaaanges... on Nvidia Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Vista Drivers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now, if I purchased this card to run on my new Vista machine, I would be pretty upset when it didn't work right. Wouldn't you?

          I dunno. One of the points says "best possible experience". I guess it depends on what that means. If this were Windows Me, I'd expect shorting out motherboard contacts randomly with soaking-wet weasels might get better performance than putting in a carefully designed graphics board.

  6. As The Savior on Matt Groening Talks About Futurama's Comeback · · Score: 1

    I entirely approve, too. I love to eat my worshippers' brains. Mmmm, brains!

          (Oh, and btw, Lazarus was a frickin' n00b)

  7. Re:Oh sure, on Cloning the Smell of the Sea · · Score: 1

    this is great NOW, but what about ten years from now when some sharp smell expert tries do duplicate the smell of fifty engineers in cubicles and it's YOUR socks they want?

          That's why I so rarely do laundry. That and the insulation it provides in my cardboard box.

            (cue "Cardboard box? You were lucky!" comments)

  8. Re:At last, morals prevail... on Scientists Offered Cash to Dispute Climate Study · · Score: 1

    Can someone publish the names and phone numbers of these scientists so I can lobby to get them into top positions in government?

    I can *almost* guarantee you that if they're really interested in science and doing research, they do NOT want to deal with being in any top position in government.

  9. Re:Not actually a Maxwell Demon... on Maxwell's Demon Soon A Reality? · · Score: 1

    Couldn't a Maxwell's demon working on macroscopic-sized superballs be demonstrated?

          Yes, and according to some, it will be achieved when scientists dump a bunch of concrete spheres into a mud volcano in the nearish future.

  10. Indiana Jones on Scientists Attempt To Calm Volcano · · Score: 1

    Time to call in Indy for some special consultation. Next thing you know, they'll be dropping natives, snakes, and Nazis into the volcano.

  11. Re:The sound of a tiny violin... on 7 Ways to Be Mistaken for a Spammer · · Score: 1

    What is the consequence? That email is no longer a viable transport system for marketing. Hear that? Spam proves that email is NOT a good marketing channel.
    Simple: they will go back to their previous techniques.


          Ah, yes. Because physical junk-mail is really impressive. The US Postal service needs to start charging everyone the first-class rate, especially for mass mailings of crap. That at least guarantees recipients the chance to send it back and show them how much we appreciate the junk.

  12. Re:pupils on Interview With "Switcher Girl" Ellen Feiss · · Score: 2, Funny

    The most violent act ever done under the influence of marijuana would be breaking into a convenience store to get pop tarts.

          You've never watched much "Trailer Park Boys", have you? Granted, the cougar on pot was pretty mellow . . .. but horny!

  13. Re:Oh dear. on Interview With "Switcher Girl" Ellen Feiss · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hope it is short-lived, it will not be forgivable for long.

        Meh. As if.

  14. Sidebar? Available separately, as parent mentioned on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1

    I personally like the sidebar, not that it's anything that I couldn't have downloaded seperately anyway, but I enjoy having the CPU usage meter right on the side, along with a calender, the weather and a currency converter.

        I'm not entirely sure what the sidebar includes in Vista (not having tried it myself), but it sounds eerily similar to this: http://www.desktopsidebar.com/, which I've been using (and loving) for about the last four months on an XP installation.

  15. Re:IT'S SPELT MISSILE on US Missle Interceptor Tests a Success · · Score: 1

    *sigh*

      Goodnight, Dick

  16. Re:IT'S SPELT MISSILE on US Missle Interceptor Tests a Success · · Score: 1

    Did you draw a Grosse Pointe Blank?

  17. Re:IT'S SPELT MISSILE on US Missle Interceptor Tests a Success · · Score: 1

    Actually, I have been called upon to defend my use of "spelt" in this very forum. You may have missed my pointe.

        Maybe he'd have caught it if it were a Grosse Pointe.

  18. Re:Why now? on Microsoft to Get Tough on License Dodgers · · Score: 1

    Well someone has to pay off the pink elephant in the corner with the gorilla ... oh forget it, these metaphors are too damn hard to keep up with when we're talking about Microsoft.

    Cars.
    We're slashdotters. We don't get it unless it involves cars or nipples, and we really only pretend with the nipple ones.

  19. Re:The right to privacy is underrated on The Privacy Candidate · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm tired of watching my privacy dwindle away, and I want it to stop.

        Don't you think it's rude to watch it so closely?

  20. yesno on The Privacy Candidate · · Score: 4, Funny

    Would you consider a candidate's stand on privacy important enough to sway your vote?

          Yes, sure I --

          *bzzzt!*

          Ouch! Er... I mean, no, no I wouldn't.

  21. Re:how could anyone forget.... on Spamming Google Maps · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't decide whether you're talking about the parent poster's mom or not, but I like it either way.

  22. Elephants on Professors To Ban Students From Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Well, I think that Middlebury College had better deal with their burgeoning African elephant population. It's shot up tremendously there recently. I hear that elephants LOOOOVE "little ivies".

  23. Re:Bad idea on Google Releases 'Testing on the Toilet' · · Score: 1

    Reading software testing documentation on the toilet can't be any better for your bunghole.

          I dunno about you, buddy. I have it all printed in Braille. Oooh!

  24. Re:Perhaps you would better understand on A Competition To Replace SHA-1 · · Score: 1

    It is in Amsterdam

          How appropriate for a conversation about HASH.

  25. Re:Would be great... on Ubuntu Studio Announced · · Score: 1

    *My* first impression was made by Cinelerra's proclamation that you can HAVE SOME ALSA WITH YOUR TACO. I'm so there!
