  1. Re:This deserves more than a comment on Bookseller Purges Records to Avoid PATRIOT Act · · Score: 5, Funny
    Where's a HERO tag when you need one?
    Why, that's a farking good idea!
  2. Genius! on Help Perfect The Cracker Antfarm With honeyd · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is perfect! Since crackers never visit Slashdot, they'll never see this one coming!

  3. Damn it, they're resisting! on Two New Handhelds From Sony · · Score: 5, Funny
    Welcome Slashdot visitor! You have been redirected to a lighter version of our article in order to conserve bandwidth and keep the site running smoothly for everybody.
    They won't stand for long -- all /.ers, load browsers and attack!
  4. Re:Some words it needs to attract the slashdot cro on A Word a Day · · Score: 1
    Don't you just love it when people complane about spelling/grammar mistakes and make one of their own?
    Yup.
  5. What is it with "NET"? on P2P File Sharing Could Cost You A Bundle · · Score: 1

    .NET and now NET... maybe we should get rid of that TLD altogether, before it sparks even more evil...

  6. Re:What is the big deal for Sprint to fix this? on Sprint DSL's Security Hole Easy As 1,2,3,4 · · Score: 1
    then sprint needs to hurry before a script kiddie beats them to it, dont you think?
    >clickety click<

    Oops... too late.
  7. Re:built for the web? on PHP 4.3.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative
    Why is it that the echo command requires one to escape quotes if PHP is "built for the web?" That has always intrigued me as a fundamental usability flaw.
    The echo command only requires users to escape double quotes when they are placed inside double-quoted-strings:

    echo "PHP is \"built for the web\".";
    and
    echo 'PHP is "built for the web".';

    do the same thing, although the second form is preferred by most because it uses less overhead.
  8. What's the difference? on Ring Tones Will Save the Music Industry · · Score: 5, Funny
    Then:
    (cell phone rings with boring tone)
    Everyone else in the room: Turn your f*cking phone off!
    Now:
    (cell phone rings with the #1 song on the charts)
    Everyone else in the room: Turn your f*cking phone off!
  9. Sounds good... on Apple's Present: iTunes Supports Ogg Files · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...but only if it supports Ogg- oh, wait, never mind...

  10. How Ironic... on Who Owns Science? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    scientific literature cannot be privately controlled or owned by the publishers of scientific journals, and must instead be available in public archives freely accessible by anyone and everyone
    Interesting... this is being run in the New York Times, FRRYYY . Obviously its editors aren't reading their own articles that closely...
  11. Oh no... on Web of Trust Audio News Distribution · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...now we can have /.-style moderation of the news...

    Al-Qaeda Destroys White House, Pentagon (-1, Troll)

  12. Great... on Molecular Photography · · Score: 2

    ...now we can use the pinnacle of scientific knowledge, quantum mechanics, to store more pr0n. I'm just so proud to be a human these days...

  13. Re:Poor Bastard on Building the Enterprise D Out of LEGOs. · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes, but do they have the same high-quality repeat articles as we do here on Slashdot? :P

  14. Re:Works just fine on my system.... (in Bash, thou on Silly Kernel Panic in Mac OS X 10.2.2 · · Score: 4, Informative
    Are you sure that
    1. You have the correct permissions to the folder, and
    2. You are running 10.2.2?
    Missing either of these might make the bug not work (oh no!).
  15. Quick! on Library Censorware Blocks Own Site · · Score: 5, Funny

    Someone needs to upload illegal MP3s to the RIAA's server so they can sue themselves under the DMCA!

  16. That's OK... on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 2

    ...the Windows users are the majority of the people who use file-sharing systems to share music anyway...

  17. Re:Why don't they... on NASA Cancels Moon Hoax Book · · Score: 3, Funny
    If you flew them into space and plopped them into a crater, they still wouldn't believe it!
    Well, it never hurts to try...
  18. Re:Agents will arrive discretely? Great! on Hacking Crime Victims to Remain Secret · · Score: 3
    Though the poster should have added a [sic] or something to avoid responses like this.
    Sorry, but the /. editors have to know how to spell in the first place before they start correcting others' mistakes, and, well... look at them...
  19. Favorite Part on Hacking Crime Victims to Remain Secret · · Score: 5, Funny
    My favorite part is how FBI agents will now "discretely" arrive at victims' offices.
    Why is that? Because it's spelled wrong?

    ;)
  20. Re:Scifi Shows on Stargate SG-1 Gets A Seventh Season · · Score: 4, Funny
    Enterprise
    The captain strikes me as whiny... I prayed for the dog to die in one of the more recent episodes.
    You're kidding, right? You want to kill the hands-down best character on the show?
  21. Re:enterprise PC on Stargate SG-1 Gets A Seventh Season · · Score: 1

    That's nothing... Archer (the Captain) actually said the word "breast"! And that after having a (wet?) dream about his science officer. Y'know, after watching the episode where we see Hoshi topless (well, not really) again, it seems to me that maybe the creators are trying to break away from the PC image. Which is good; the number of potentially good shows goes up as the amount of "allowed content" increases.

  22. Re:Machines Not Yet Our Masters? on Kramnik Ties Fritz; Machines Not Yet Our Masters · · Score: 5, Funny
    I'll be impressed when an A.I. chat bot can talk a girl into a date. This would be a tool every slashdotter could appreciate.
    So I could be dumped for an A.I. chat bot. And I thought I couldn't get any lower...
  23. Re:Misdirected marketing on both parts... on Microsoft PR Rep is the Switcher · · Score: 1
    resource fork
    Resource fork? We don't need no stinkin' resource fork. (Not on Mac OS X, anyway.)
    There are other things, like extensions being left around... and we all know that extensions NEVER, EVER, EVER cause system conflicts. Basically it's the DLL hell all over again, just renamed.
    OS X did away with extensions, too :-)
  24. Pocket change? on Purchase Your Personal Gene Map · · Score: 1
    If you had the pocket change, would you give this man your business?
    Hell, if I just had $621,500 lying around, there isn't much I wouldn't spend it on!
  25. Re:History lesson on Star Trek: Pick A Plot · · Score: 1
    Funny line about using 'LSD' in college though.
    Actually, IIRC, the line was about Spock doing too much LDS.
