  1. Re:ISS Computer Crash... on Big Changes In Proposed U.S. Space Budget · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it was a recent message they received from China - I send you this file in order to have your advice...

  2. Makes sense to me on Big Changes In Proposed U.S. Space Budget · · Score: 2, Funny

    Makes sense to me. If you're not going to allow anyone with a history of drinking, lying, or cheating [Slashdot] to fly you don't need a big budget for manned spaceflight.

  3. Re:Question on Tom Lord's Decentralized Revision Control System · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do yellow Post-It notes stuck to the bezel of my monitor count?

  4. Re:Barbed wire? on Ethernet Over Assorted Materials · · Score: 1

    Funny, we have rats running through our sewers. Maybe they could be organized into some kind of packet switched network :)

  5. New product opportunity on The Eyes Have It · · Score: 1

    Eyeglasses with a thermal reflective coating (commonly called a hot mirror). The coating transmits visible light normally, but reflects infrared! I wonder if I can sell them through ThinkGeek...

  6. Re:This is frightening... on The Eyes Have It · · Score: 1

    Worse yet, how long before employers rush to use this technology during interviews?

  7. What about Congress? on The Eyes Have It · · Score: 1

    I suppose congress will now move quickly to ban thermal imaging systems on the capitol building grounds...

  8. Re:Conclude that MS is cheaper? on MS Struggles to Discredit Linux · · Score: 1

    Strange thing is the e-mail implies that the results of both the survey and the cost analysis are foregone (pro-microsoft) conclusions

  9. Oh really on WinXP Security Flaw · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware of for Windows desktop systems," said Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response center.

    Obviously Scott doesn't read /.
  10. I'm surprised on All Work And No Play ... · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't taken advantage of the popularity of Solitaire to inflate the number of Passport users by requiring players to get a Passport account :)

  11. Really on Oceans Potentially More Common In Solar System · · Score: 2, Funny
    From the article:

    Under some circumstances water might even be found inside Uranus...

    Old news, the Kaopectate people have known that for years :o
  12. Now I get it on Canadian Researchers Create Supernova In-lab · · Score: 1

    ...there long term goal being to convert water directly into beer

    Now I get it :)
  13. Re:Obvious solution to this on Universal to Copyprotect All CDs · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Better to buy them and return them as defective - that way Universal gets grief from their retail outlets as well as seeing their sales drop.

  14. Share bandwidth... on Linksys Incorporates HomePlug Networking · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... with your neighbors. How long before my cable company re-writes their terms and conditions to prohibit me from connecting any device to the cable modem that also that connects to an electrical outlet ;)

  15. Re:OT: pringle cans on WEP Gets A Bit Stronger · · Score: 1

    Alas, the local Quickie-Mart has already suffered from the slashdot effect - not a can of Pringles to be found :)

  16. Re:Logo Change? on GNOME 2.0 Developer Platform Beta · · Score: 1

    I suppose we could call it Goofy Foot Gnome

  17. Recalibrate on Mars Odyssey Detects Signs of Water · · Score: 4, Funny

    If I could only figure out how to recalibrate my neutron spectrometer so it would detect beer (free) instead of water...
