  1. Re:Protest! on New Power Plant Produces Both Energy & Fresh Water · · Score: 1

    Who said this energy was clean? I believe it deposits waste on the sea floor, thus harming the sea ecosystem around it.

    Or was that another new powerplant I'm thinking of?

  2. Re:Huh? on Linux Enhances Shakespeare · · Score: 1

    I wasn't trying to copy Shakespeare there, just having fun with rhymes and the given storyline. :)

  3. colors on Contact Lenses Could Deliver Medications · · Score: 2, Funny

    Soon all our grandmas will be getting these, but asking for the colored lenses like some kids wear nowadays.

    And the one's that choose red will truly be Hell's Grannies.

  4. a sample? on Linux Enhances Shakespeare · · Score: 1, Funny

    Macbeth:
    Here upon the platform oil
    I do hack and code and toil
    free information for them all
    yet I recieve naught but their gall
    They shall rue they day of spite
    When their trust becomes my might

  5. ok on Sun to Build Alternative Desktop ? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That sounds good, since it will lead to competition. So this should help stimulate our lagging economy right?

    Sun Microsystems Inc Chairman, President and CEO Scott McNealy today exhorted Indian software programmers to build Sun's "desktop computer" as an alternative system to Microsoft software architecture.

    ... oh. Well, thanks for remembering your roots...

  6. indy theatres on Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away' Wins Best Animated Picture · · Score: 1

    I was lucky to be able to see this city, which showed in 1 theatre in a city of 1 million people. It's unfortunate that it was so hard to find, but then that's why I suggest that everyone support your local independant theatre if you have one, because they generally show the best movies, not the popular ones.

  7. freedom on Improving Company Morale? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Perhaps your company already works this way, but my company gives it's workers a lot of freedom. I come in and leave as I please, with no fear of reprisal. This leaves me relaxed in the office, and I have never resented by bosses because of it.

    Another tip is to take your co-workers out to a bar ;)

  8. Re:Slashdot makes webserver spell not good on Brian Hook Interview · · Score: 3, Funny

    *sound of /.ing explosion*

    Server: What happened? Incoming message. Main screen turn on.

    /.: How are you gentlemen? All your connection are belong to us.

    Server: What you say?

    /.:You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive, make your time. Ha ha ha.

  9. Re:Shock and Awe - A history lesson on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 1

    Some of your critics are arguing that Bush is nothing like Hitler, yet they fail to see that this article so far is simply comparing the early actions of both leaders.

    Perhaps Bush will stop after Iraq, but perhaps he or others will continue to use 'preemption' as a strategy for an easy casus belli to eliminate so called threats.

    The fact is if Bush wanted to slaughter muslims or anyone else, he could probably now get away with it without losing power, which I think is the point here.

  10. Re:Are you sure? on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 1

    It's just a threat to encourage the Iraqi military to come to it's senses.

    A threat would be 'Give up or we'll bomb Baghdad.', not 'We're beginning an extensive bombing campaign in Baghdad.'

    I hope it's over quick, regardless. :\

  11. cool on Wireless Charging your Handhelds? · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is definitly better then their first idea, which of course was the 'Jump-to-Conclusions' mat.

  12. why? on Amazon's Bezos Wants Web Advertising Patent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know, I really wonder what is going through Bezos' mind. I think most people in the tech field are going to scoff at this, and he's just damaging his reputation by blatantly trying to patent something that everyone uses.

    Sometimes these tech lords really don't help their case.

  13. Good news! on Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Regardless of the outcome of the tests, the only way to make progress is to let things happen. Even if they can't pass the tests, they'll come out of it more experienced and have feedback.

    Perhaps Sun finally felt some heat from the tech community? (pun intended)

  14. Re:Is this really a big deal? on Dying Languages, Fading Formats · · Score: 1

    While I'm not big on 'saving' the languages just because they're different, I do think they should be documented and explained well for the sake of good historical records and linguists, and so I approve of the program.

  15. Coptic on Dying Languages, Fading Formats · · Score: 1

    Coptic; cop

    Wow, I didn't know the police had their own language!

  16. Re:News for nerds??? Stuff that matters??? on Updates on War in Iraq · · Score: 1

    So nerds aren't supposed to care about the biggest foreign event in years?

    I'd like to give us more credit.

  17. You aimbot n00bs on Voice Communication & Gaming Etiquette · · Score: 1

    you obviously are cheating, and you're such a n00b. you are such a camper, and a shockwhore. The ViRuS clan dominates you fools, as usual. stop spamming like girls, do you even know how to play this game? you suck.

    (why 15 year olds should not play online)

  18. well darn it. on More PlayStation 3 Predictions · · Score: 2, Funny

    Most people were expecting the PS2 to drop to $149, but $179 is now also a possibility.

    Aww gee, I've mowed lawns for Old Man McGregor for the past year or so to earn my own playstation 2, earning $2 bucks per week, finally saving $150. Shucks, can't we make a deal here?

  19. Re:logic? on Texas Rep Wants To Jail File Traders · · Score: 1

    And if you embezzle millions from your stock holders, you get off scot-free!

  20. Nice on Strike on Iraq · · Score: 1

    Conquerors often cloak themselves as liberators.

    Shit, that's a fuckin' good statement.

  21. Origins of spam? on CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam · · Score: 1

    On the first day, the Lord created email, and it was good.
    On the second day, the Lord created spam, and it was bad.

  22. Pub offers snaps and shots? on Beer and Bluetooth · · Score: 2, Funny

    So some Brits put some .gifs and some screenshots in the server's pub dir? I don't see why this is news, most of the stuff in that folder is junk anyways.

  23. Re:DRM on DRM and Threat Analysis · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Constutional protections? I'm sorry. Didn't you get the memo? We're more concerned with terrorism than freedom now. Please change your mood accordingly.

    Don't a number of commercial services like onstar use gps to track vehicles?
