  1. Re:Please stop this joke. It's no longer funny. on Magnets To Replace Bluetooth? · · Score: 1

    /.ers made a plan:

    1. No Carrier Jokes
    2. Overlord Jokes
    3. Russia Jokes
    4. ???
    5. Profit!

    dammit, they got me doing it.

  2. Re:That's some hardware it's running on on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually it says "Intel Xeon, 80GHz RAM, 20GB1 Utlra ATA Hard Drive"

    What I like most about computers of the future is that they only have 20GB of hard drive space, and can some how use 80 Giga-Hertz of RAM.

  3. Spelling error on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anyone else notice that in one of the pics it says "Here's room for text but I don't thing we need it."?

    Did Microsoft hire a Slashdot editor?

  4. Re:... and why wouldn't they? on SCO Attorney Declares GPL Invalid · · Score: 1

    But isn't your cat the one who elected Bush?

    yeah, I probably am trolling.

  5. Re:Nothing bad could possibly happen on Robots for Air Force Protection · · Score: 1

    Well, according to the elementry Chaos Theory, the robots won't go berserk for at least twenty-four hours.

    ...Oh, I forgot to carry the one.

  6. Re:I'd rather not have to deal with the DOJ... on White House Obfuscates Email · · Score: 1

    However, if you just want to send flaming messages, that's a different story.

    Insert obligatory "You're new to slashdot, aren't you?" comment.

  7. Re:Great! on DirecTV Sues Anyone Who Bought Smartcard Reader? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Of course it can wait. No Senators get paid off when a murderer goes to jail. But if a company makes money, then everyone* profits!

    *Your definition of everyone may vary from that of the US Senate and Large Corporations

  8. Re:We're never happy on RIAA To Sue Hundreds Of File Swappers · · Score: 1
    What if the next windows worm searches out for someone's legal mp3 collection and then connects to a p2p network and shares it out, all unknown to the user?

    Seriously, why doesn't someone do this? That'd make it really hard for the RIAA to just fire off random lawsuits (especially if the worm hit their own offices).
  9. Re:Ratings on EFF Supporting Home DVD Editing · · Score: 1
    How about The Matrix with no violence?

    You're ignoring the simple truth: There is no violence.
  10. Bruce Campbell's Book on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 1

    If you like the Evil Dead triology, give Bruce's book (If Chins Could Kill : Confessions of a B Movie Actor) a try. It's a really good read with lots of interesting/funny stories and it even has some pictures (for those of you who graduated from my high school and still can't read)!

  11. Re:The book of horrible questions on Simulation Of An Asteroid Impact In The Year 2880 · · Score: 1

    I don't know of that episode, but I remember a short story where the same thing happened except it was phrased "It will kill someone that doesn't know you."
    The person did, and the button killed their spouse claiming that their spouse really didn't know them if they were willing to push the button.

  12. Re:Screw multimedia; how about software? on P2P Meets Push · · Score: 1

    So wait, I really get to type F U World in a command?

  13. Re:The biggest mistake on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    Or blame the feeling on that his mind is somehow diffent and more machine like (giving him the ability to control The Matrix, a big machine).

  14. Re:The biggest mistake on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1

    The sentinals were knocked AWAY from Neo and Trinity. Naiobi's shipped approached from the same direction the sentinals were knocked back. Maybe the EMP came from Naiobi's ship.

  15. Re:Longhorn Code Complete! on MS Says Longhorn To Arrive 2005 · · Score: 1

    Actually they've been working on it for several years now and it's complete. Sadly it is all on paper and it will take that long for them to type it in.

  16. Re:I have to p on Prince of Pop-ups · · Score: 2, Funny

    You mean: patent pending proving porno prince provided pop-ups preceding previous prior-art?

  17. Re:Digital Image? on Corporations Getting Into The Open Source Spirit · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually, I thought it was a geeky Vin Diesel.

  18. Security Risk? on Corporations Getting Into The Open Source Spirit · · Score: 3, Interesting
    We're now trying to set up [an online] repository of which state agencies are using open source and for what projects

    So you're going to create a database telling people exactly what software government agencies use and give them the code. Does anyone else see this as a security risk?
  19. Re:Why humanoid design? on Fujitsu To Ship Linux Powered Robot in July · · Score: 1

    Coding more difficult for two legs? Nah, these guys jacked the source code from god...something about using a sendmail exploit...

    With the milk example, you are then eating homemade cheese, enjoy!

  21. Re:Body mechanics on Complications · · Score: 1

    That's why I make it policy to only keep one finger on me at all times...

  22. PS9 on PC in a.... Sphere? · · Score: 1

    The PS9 (from a comercial for PS2) was also spherical, and it finally had the ability to replicate smells.

  23. Re:What about manual input? on Ring Tones Will Save the Music Industry · · Score: 1

    I have Ice Ice Baby as my ring tone (it has the extra ting at the end). And you can be damn straight I get stared at in a crowd when it goes off - some laugh, some laugh and point. They just don't understand the genius that is Vanilla Ice. Err...Wait a minute...

  25. Re:Are you all on crack? Xbox sales suck vs. PS/2 on No-Solder Modchip For The Xbox · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you mean PS2? I thought PS/2 was a connector for keyboards and mice.
