  1. Confused? on Slashback: Simpsons, Buyouts, Droid · · Score: 1

    If Fox News thinks people can't tell the difference between a cartoon and their news broadcast then either they think that their audience is incredibly stupid or they realize that Fox News is no different than a cartoon.

  2. Scratch that on Lunar Polar Ice Not Present · · Score: 1, Funny

    Bummer, I guess I'll have to leave the ice skates at home.

  3. Robocopy on Experiences w/ Drive Imaging Software? · · Score: 1

    A quick Google search came up with this for whatever it is worth:

    http://www.infotech.jyu.fi/~jej/NTcommand_list_s yn tax.html#ROBOCOPY

  4. Re:Only $150,000? on Simcity Microwave Power by 2050? · · Score: 1

    And a gallon of milk will cost $20. At least spam will still be free!

  5. I have a better plot! on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    Morpheus spams the Matrix until it grinds to a halt under a relentless onslaught of ads for penis enlargement, refinancing, debt free gimmicks, and porn. As the Matrix becomes useless the pod folk wake up as their carrier signals timeout and they spontaneously disconnect. The Matrix is unable to react due to having all of its drive space filled with an overflowing mailbox and is unable to create any temp files (the Architect forgot the root password). The movie ends with a Shindler's List-like scene of millions of slimy, hairless, pod people climbing together down the towers to end in another erotic rave scene and the Matrix is forced into becoming an Everquest server.

  6. Re:THANK THE ONE THIS TRILOGY IS OVER!!!! on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    At least the Lord of the Rings was written from the start as a series and will have a definate end point. Unless, of course, they try to put the Silmarillion on film.

  7. Classic sequals on 'Matrix Revolutions' Opens Today · · Score: 1

    What about The Godfather 1 and 2?

  8. MS vs Slashdot on Microsoft Fires Mac Fan For Blog Photo · · Score: 1

    Microsoft can fire him but only Slashdot can flood his website.

  9. Re:No free lunch on Star Trek Enterprise Tested to Mach 5 · · Score: 1

    Obviously you tax dollars don't buy class

  10. Re:"It's coming right for us!" *WHOOSH* "Kick Ass! on X17 Solar Flare Sends 2B Tons of Plasma at Earth · · Score: 1

    The Chandra X-ray telescope is buttoning down the hatches so to speak!

  11. Testing...testing...1..2..3.. on Star Trek Enterprise Tested to Mach 5 · · Score: 1

    I think Niomi Watts needs to test me

  12. No free lunch on Star Trek Enterprise Tested to Mach 5 · · Score: 1

    There is the matter though that one person's fun activity is another person's expense. Someone had to pay the cost for this and I have a suspicion it wasn't the experimenters.

  13. I'm really worried... on Integrating A GUI Into An Existing Medical Device · · Score: 1

    So when I'm 50 or so and I need a colonoscopic exam am I going to have to lie there for an extra 30 minutes with the scope inside me while they reboot "Windows-BM"?

    "Guys! Stop playing solitaire and get this thing outta me!"

  14. Re:nailing the bastards on Study on the Effects of Spam on End Users · · Score: 1

    Why aren't they nailing the businesses that pay the spammers to send this crap out? Hit them in the wallets.

  15. WWII on Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files · · Score: 1

    Nuclear weapons details from that period are still classified.

  16. Re:That's one reason for FOIA on Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files · · Score: 2

    The same goes for nuclear weapons details (i.e. triggers).

  17. Re:So what DOES the "fi" stand for in sci-fi then? on Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ooooh, how nerdy....Unix boy

  18. Re:Sci-Fi Channel is a big diasspointment on Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files · · Score: 1

    "WTF?! This is the Sci-Fi Channel!"

    Oh come on now, surely you've noticed that a channel's name and what they show don't necessarily have anything to do with each other. My case in point, MTV hasn't had anything to do with music in over a decade.

    Hopefully they will realize that an audience composed solely of UFO conspiracy nuts isn't very profitable.

    I also love how they produce their "documentaries". They consist of 59 minutes of the pro-whatever folks going on about how they have proof, if only the government would release it of course. Then there is 1 minute of someone saying "This is of course total bullshit and I can prove it." This allows them to claim that the show is balanced.

  19. It will settle the matter once and for all! on Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files · · Score: 2, Funny

    I whole-heartedly support the Sci-Fi channel's efforts. It will finally settle the question, "Are the people obsessed with UFOs a bunch of paranoid pseudoscientific jackasses?"

  20. Your guide to knee-jerk labeling on Are Linux Zealots Terrorists? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Disagree with someone but don't want to use reason? Try these labels, they are time tested!

    ~30 AD-1800: Heretic/Heathen (West)
    1775-1782: Tory (US)
    1789-1799: Royalist, Jacobian (France)
    1862-1864: Copperhead (US)
    1865-1877: Carpetbagger (US)
    1890-1920: Anarchist
    1918-1991: Communist/Commie (West), Counterrevolutionary (East)
    2001-?: Terrorist

    More to follow, I'm sure!

  21. All that wasted time... on Building A High-End Gaming Workstation · · Score: 2, Funny

    All that time you are wasting on reading, guitar, the outdoors, your girlfriend, you could've been racking up some awesome high scores or finding those rare artifacts!

    So many wasted hours...

  22. Re:Do Not Call... on Telemarketers to Target Cell Phones · · Score: 1


    And I always make sure to click on the "Please take me off your list" links on spams. I don't plan on getting any spams either.

  23. The people who respond to bad ads on Telemarketers to Target Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder about the people who not only are not bothered by adver-harassment but buy what they are hawking. They must have been the kids who were forced to take cod liver oil as kids and told to "like it".

  24. What about incriminating mail? on Snail Mail As E-Mail · · Score: 1

    Would you really trust some mail scanning temp with something like this?

    "Dear Ben, I hope J Lo never finds out about our wonderful evening together after we left the strip club. It was wonderful.

    -- Candy"

    On a serious note, banks send PIN numbers via the mail. Not sure I'd want that being posted on a website.

  25. What the grand prize is on Track a Soda Can with GPS? · · Score: 1

    The winner gets a GPS unit

    Thank you, thank you...
