  1. don't worry on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 3, Funny

    It will soon be renamed Urectum.

  2. local sources... on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 4, Funny

    Professor Hubert Farnsworth: I'm afraid the Smelloscope can't locate Bender. His fragrance is too mild. It's being overwhelmed by local sources.
    [Everyone looks at Zoidberg]
    Dr. Zoidberg: Hooray! Now I'm the center of attention.

  3. Re:Beauty of OSS on Linux Kernel 2.6 Local Root Exploit · · Score: 2, Funny

    If it fails then he dumps core, which may be an acceptable alternative.

  4. Re:Seriously.. on U.S. Confiscating Data at the Border · · Score: 1

    You could also drain the battery and keep the charger stored somewhere else, assuming you don't use it during the trip. They may not have one.

    Or put in a bootable CD and see if they figure it out ;-)

  5. GF + Sims = zombie on Male Brains 'Wired for Videogame Obsession' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree. I have trouble putting down the controller, but my gf is afraid of picking it up because she can't stop whatsoever until I snap her out of it.

    I think it has to do with attention span. Those who love constant stimulation like my gf get a serious high from video games like the Sims where there is always things going on.

  6. Re:Who really cares what he has to say? on Ron Paul Campaign Answers Slashdot Reader Questions · · Score: 1

    Voting is always about who is viable. It's called politics.

    We all disagree about who is right, so we slowly compromise until there are 2 candidates.

    Real change is done on the soap box, not the ballot box. The ballot box just represents the community...if you don't like it it's because your neighbors are probably blockheads.

  7. Re:Your best bet... on Experts Claim HIV Patients Made Non-Infectious · · Score: 1

    Sex is an amazing experience. We are programmed to enjoy it.

    If you can understand why people don't want to give up eating meat, you can understand why people don't want to give up sex.

  8. Re:Prostitutes on NASA Wants "People People" for Astronaut Core · · Score: 3, Funny

    I agree.

    All they need is a space station with blackjack and hookers!

    Well, forget the blackjack.

    And the space station.

  9. Re:"French web metrics firm," eh? on Firefox's Market Share Hits 28% in Europe · · Score: 4, Funny

    My web browser gained 3.2% rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I like it!

  10. Re:What market? on Firefox's Market Share Hits 28% in Europe · · Score: 4, Funny

    I dunno...I'd ask Radiohead.

  11. continued success on Firefox's Market Share Hits 28% in Europe · · Score: 1

    If firefox continues to increase it's 'market share' then Microsoft can simply say that clearly users can download alternatives, because it's now proven they do, and thus Microsoft's inclusion of IE is not causing a monopoly in the browser world.

  12. Re:Nature? on Artificial Bases Added to DNA · · Score: 1

    What they mean by unnatural in according to the laws of nature, which are observed in other species that ensure long term survival. Actions that aren't guaranteed to promote long term survival can be considered unnatural because evolution will remove them. For example, nuclear war can be considered unnatural, because it endangers our species. If we want to survive as a species we must take actions that guarantee long term success. Actions that are not proven to do so thus may be labeled unnatural.

  13. oblig monty python on Yahoo CAPTCHA Hacked · · Score: 1

    Blue!

    No!

    Re@#831%$*...*thud*

  14. lack of liberal arts? on Engineers Have a Terrorist Mindset? · · Score: 1

    While the paper is silly, there is a point there. Would an engineer more likely act with irrational anger than an artist or a musician? Probably not so much in the western world, but I think lack of humanities has a crippling effect on middle eastern thinking.

    If you aren't taught about the rights of man, or to find something beautiful in mankind, it may be easier to see death and violence as a viable solution. I'm sure that goes for any profession, but perhaps some engineers ignore that part of education since it is not always required.

  15. With Or Without You on U2's Manager Calls For Mandatory Disconnects For Music Downloaders · · Score: 1

    The consumers will get their way.

  16. Re:The biggest question... on Examining the Ethical Implications of Robots in War · · Score: 1

    "When I'm in command every mission is a suicide mission!"-Zap Branigan

  17. Re:It's like a party in your stomach! on New "Endoscope On a Pill" · · Score: 1

    Fry: My lead pipe hurts!
    Zoidberg: That's normal.

  18. Re:olympics on Bluetooth Prosthetics Help US Marine To Walk Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    Another fine gentalman that they will not allow to partisipate in the olympics. Yea, I couldn't participate either, and I have *real* legs. What the hell.
  19. oblig alpha centauri on Bluetooth Prosthetics Help US Marine To Walk Again · · Score: 1

    A handsome young Cyborg named Ace,
    Wooed women at every base,
    But once ladies glanced at
    His special enhancement
    They vanished with nary a trace.

  20. Re:Free Market on IBM Responds to Overtime Lawsuits With 15% Salary Cut · · Score: 1

    In the case the free market can also do no right, by definition.

  21. Re:Bad Ideas all around on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 1

    If skyrocketing gas prices aren't thinning out the traffic why would congestion tolls thin it out? People are dumb, and see gas as something that's needed to go places, and the tolls as extra charges by greedy buerocrats.
  22. Re:Even more reason on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 1

    Damn you old man!

  23. Even more reason on IBM Patents Pricing Motorists Off Highways · · Score: 3, Funny

  24. Re:Oh, spare me. on EPA Asserts Executive Privilege In CA Emissions Case · · Score: 1

    No no, he said steam cells were bunk, and he might have a point. New research indicates steam isn't alive after all!

  25. Re:The sooner a steak is grown in a petri dish .. on US FDA Deems Cloned Animals Edible · · Score: 1

    Factory made steak = unending supply of food = unending supply of people = we cut down all the forests anyway to make room for all of us, and pollute the world with overpopulation.
