  1. Re:of course on Bart Decrem on the Linux Business · · Score: 1

    public class ignite(flag myFlag) {

    if(flag.flammable()) {
    flag.burn();
    }
    }

  2. of course on Bart Decrem on the Linux Business · · Score: 2, Funny

    'anti-U.S. sentiment can be used to promote Linux throughout the world,'

    Finally, my flag-burning software will get some use! Time to work on my anthrax algorithm.

  3. look on Text-Mining Your E-mail · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now we all now that most email is delivered promptly by gremlins, but gremlins are hungry and will eat a few bytes here and there.

    They also leave waste in the form of spam.

    So, I propose that we turn to gnomes to deliver the mail instead, as they are much cleaner, and can be satiated by attaching a file like 'Hamburger.txt'.

  4. Dear sir on Dog Bites Website · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "I believe the Running To The Mountain excerpt that ran on Slashdot sold more books than a subsequent appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show."

    You must be mistaken. Here at the Oprah Winfrey Show, we are positive that we have more effect on the world than anything else. Please make a note of it.

  5. Sad :( on The Lone Gunmen Are Dead · · Score: 1

    These guys were seriously my heroes. I think geeks everywhere looked up to them.

    It was really hard to watch, but I'm really glad they tied the loose ends well, and showed them the respect they deserved.

  6. I know! on CFP 2002 Wrapup · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "Hollywood is going for the hat-trick: taking away freedom, privacy *and* computers"

    They are so right. Like, Brad Pitt was just at my house, and he took my computer, installed video camaras, and enslaved my children!

    He's so cute though...

  7. sport huh. on On Hacktivism · · Score: 2

    Hacking is a contact sport.
    The more people who have contact with one another, the better.

    Yea, totally. I'm routing for the Bears!

  8. heh on Amazon & Used Books II: Bezos Strikes Back · · Score: 4, Funny

    No used books? Just imagine if the car industry was going through the same thing.

    Everyone, not just the rednecks, would have used cars sitting on their lawns.

  9. huh? on Fruit Flies Making Inroads on Autonomous Computing · · Score: 4, Funny

    'British Telecom is examining the development of fruit flies, hoping that nature has already found the solution to this problem.'

    AT&T has also joined the fray, though it has chosen the hippopotamus as it's bringer of change, and Verizon is leaning toward the studying Brazilians due to their high amounts of energy.

  10. Next on The New Nomad Jukebox, And Handheld Oggs · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think the next improvement should be a cynic inside the machine, who would scold you appropriatly if you were listening to N'Sync, or congratulate you for picking Radiohead.

  11. switch on Singing Cow To Attack CBDTPA · · Score: 1

    *Throws away his Metallica CDs* Time for some good ol' country music! Sing on my bovine friend!

  12. an idea on How To Profit From Telemarketing · · Score: 1

    I bet you could make money beating up telemarketers!

  13. heh on Review: Panic Room · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slashdot's technology can't stop me from breaking in! Watch how the encryption codes unravel, slowly. Motive? shh. It's not for the audience to know. Oh look, Slashdot has emailed the decrypting files I need? Mwahaha, this will be easy, though I will go through it menacingly. That doesn't make sense? Why would anyone pay to see this? shh. What's this? Slashdot has no way of contacting anyone of my intrusion despite it's high tech system. Well, of course, I wouldn't be breaking in if I would actually get caught. And that wouldn't be exciting now would it? So be quiet.

  14. apple on Cinema Tools for Final Cut Pro · · Score: 1

    Has any else noticed that the primary buyers of Apple's nowadays are film/photo people? They certianly have a solid market there, but I think it odd that they push themselves so much to compete with PCs when they operate on a seperate level. I know many people who have both, each one for it's own strenghs.

  15. ha! on Distributed Translation Project · · Score: 1

    We can finally get started on that Tower of Babel project again!

  16. okay on Farscape Returns Tonight · · Score: 0

    Farscape huh...'Episode Rating: 6 out of 10'

    When the muppets come back, *then* I'll be excited.

  17. receptions on Earth to...Earth? Are you there? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if we tuned into another planet's radio wave, if we'd be able to watch their soap operas. I watch soaps for 1/2 a day here on Earth, but wouldn't it be great to watch The Alien and the Cybernetic too? Or maybe we'd get to know them by watching their version of Sally Jesse Rapheal?

  18. What!? on Pitch Perfect Karaoke · · Score: 1

    'Should also make those Karaoke parties a little more tolerable.'

    Now wait just a minute here, I don't know where you are from friend but Karaoke is the hottest thing to do! Why, who wouldn't enjoy listening to their favorite songs being decimated by their half-drunk friends? I can think of nothing I'd rather be doing on a Wednesday night at Bill's Kill 'n Grill!

  19. remember on Games People Shouldn't Play · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do you remember the NES game Cowboy Neal and the search for the Missing Karma? I got to level 45 before I realized I wasn't affecting the game through the controller.

  20. Similar to on Teoma Aims To Kill Google · · Score: 3, Funny

    So Teoma is basically the Kia of the search-engine industry no?

  21. hey now on AI in Video Games vs. AI in Academia · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dragon Warrior 1 captured a girl's mind pretty well.

    'Dost thou love me?'

    'no'

    'But thou must! Dost thou love me?'

    'no'

    'But thou must! Dost thou love me?'

    *sigh*

    'yes'

    'I'm so happy!' *Cue music*

  22. Re:Bad on Retail Sharp Zaurus Released · · Score: 1

    Listen, this is just part of the natural evolution of software. If you're right, then it will fail, but perhaps a good quality will emerge into Linux gene-pool before it dies out. This this will continue and must continue or Linux will never improve. QED.

  23. perplexed on Microsoft To Start Running Anti-Unix Ads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doesn't Microsoft already own enough of the world? You think they could leave UNIX geeks alone.

  24. finally! on Talk ... Without Speaking · · Score: 5, Funny

    We'll finally be able to understand what the hell mimes are doing! Rejoice!

  25. yay on LoTR Takes 4 Oscars · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Congratulations Frodo! Now you are 'pauses' Lord of the Oscars! *sighs* I need a nap.
