  1. Re:True Story on Do You Tell a Job Candidate How Badly They Did? · · Score: 1

    Somehow I don't think that he lists "El_Smack" as his name when applying for jobs.

  2. Re:questions on Gentoo on the PS3 - Full Install Instructions · · Score: 1
    if he doesn't know the first thing about Linux, what does he need it for? on a PS3 of all things

    Well, that's obvious. To pick up chicks.

    The only thing that impresses the ladies more than a really expensive game console is a really expensive pimped out game console with a picture of a penguin on it.

  3. Re:Lots of data, but not as much as the LHC on The Astronomical Event Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Mispelling?

    You may be right. Proof By Googlefight shows that hadron beats hardon by an eight to one margin. That's surprising. I didn't think that I would be able to find anything that beat a hardon on the Internet.

  4. Re:Operation Meat Hammer on Seventh Harry Potter Book Named · · Score: 1

    "Guido shot first"? Was that a version of 'Raging Bull' that didn't make it to the theatres?

  5. Re:New Name on Seventh Harry Potter Book Named · · Score: 1

    I was leaning towards "Harry Potter and the Increasingly Inaccurately Named Trilogy", but I think that one is already taken.

  6. Re:I dunno on Revisiting the Physics of Buckaroo Banzai · · Score: 1

    Or if you reverse the polarity.

    Oh, many Shubs and Zuuls would know what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar if that happened I can tell you.

  7. Re:I dunno on Revisiting the Physics of Buckaroo Banzai · · Score: 3, Funny

    I believe that that's one of Clarke's Laws. Any sufficiently advanced technobabble is indistinguishable from smack.

  8. I'm not sure if this one is legal, but... on Questions for Entry Level PC Techs? · · Score: 1

    "You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling towards you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back.

    "The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

    "Why is that?"

  9. Re:So the question is on The Unfriendly Side of German Game Development · · Score: 1

    There is evidence that this really happened, although not exactly the way that Mr. Jones described. While his version makes for compelling reading, former coworkers and students say that he has stretched the truth more than a bit.

  10. It's missing a few on The 10 Most Dangerous Toys of All Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    Where is the Bag O' Glass? Pretty Peggy Ear-Piercing Set? Mr. Skin-Grafter? General Tron's Secret Police Confession Kit? Doggie Dentist? How about Johnny Switchblade, Adventure Punk or the Teddy Chainsaw Bear?

    What kind of kist is this?

  11. Re:so how will this affect installing Linux? on ALSR in Vista Gets OEM Push · · Score: 1

    "I admit it, you are better than I am."

    "Then why are you smiling?"

    "Because I know something you don't know."

    "And, what is that?"

    "I am not little-endian."

  12. Re:And the first time travel episode will be... on New Animated Star Trek In The Works · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I mean, is it even possible to do any more injustice to a show?"

    AKAImBatman begins casting Summon Browncoat Army (I)...
    AKAImBatman's spell fizzles.

  13. Re:It's Funny - Laugh on Texas Lawmaker Wants To Let the Blind Hunt · · Score: 1

    Grocery shopping and walking down the sidewalk are required for participation in society. Hunting is not.

    I see you are not from Texas.

  14. Re:My mouse on Independent Benchmarking System for Mice · · Score: 1

    Well, yeah, but where are we going to find rubber pants at this time of night?

  15. Re:Wait! What about good ol' YouTube? on Word of the Year - "Truthiness" · · Score: 0
    Well, I just _know_ that it doesn't, that Flash is superior, and that following your suggestion will ultimately lead us to certain doom.

    Don't try to distract me with your books, web pages and facts.

  16. Re:How ... on 'Killer' Network Card Actually Reduces Latency · · Score: 2, Funny

    The secret is that the card comes with a very noticable "Type R" sticker for your case. That alone can improve performance by 12.3% across the board.

  17. Re:Rewards? on "Sysadmin of the Year" Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    Handling all four of these requests with the appropriate tool, such as a taser or crossbow, may be detrimental to your employment situation, but it will certainly earn you a nomination for Sys Admin Of the Year next year.

  18. Re:It's the genetics not the color or the chemical on Apple Gene for Red Color Found · · Score: 1

    No, the analogy is still a good one. Apples covered in chemical pesticides _do_ taste worse than shit.

  19. Re:Dont really need that. on First-Person Account of a Social Engineering Attack · · Score: 1

    Memo to self: When stealing large sums of money, make a whole bunch of tiny transfers instead of one big one.

  20. Priorities on Creationism Museum To Open Next Summer · · Score: 5, Funny

    We pass the site where one day an animatronic Adam will squat beside the Tree. With this commitment to authenticity, I find myself asking what they are doing about the fig leaf. Marsh considers this gravely and replies: "He is appropriately positioned, so he can be modest. There will be a lamb or something there next to him. We are very careful about that: some of our donors are scared to death about nudity."

    Um.

    Adam being naked with his Tingling Naughty Bits hanging out is too much for their more conservative donors to handle, but Adam squatting naked behind a sheep is okay?

    I guess that doesn't surprise me.

  21. Re:What is a Nerd to do? on Creationism Museum To Open Next Summer · · Score: 0

    Well, there was a Firefly museum but it closed down after only a few months. People still keep visiting the building in droves, even though it's a KFC now.

  22. Re:Pot? Kettle? on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only if you do your programming on a Dell notebook.

  23. Re:What happens if you die? on The Lameness of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Well, when you die you have to leave the game. If you try to log back in the server screams at you "Get out of here! YOU'RE DEAD! You don't exist anymore."

    After that there's nothing left to do but to kill yourself. Once Black Leaf is dead there's really nothing left to live for.

  24. Re:sheer genius on The Lameness of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    My personal pet peeve is people who talk about things like Diku MUD without knowing the first about them, including how to spell the name.

    But that's just me.

  25. What's the connection? on VR Cures Amputees' Phantom Limb Pain · · Score: 1

    The article makes no mention of Second Life, so I was wondering just where the anonymous submitter got that connection from.

    Then I read his last sentence. "The graphics used by the computer look very crude, almost comically so, but apparently the system works."

    Yeah, that's about right.
