  1. ObXKCD on Nmap Developers Release a Picture of the Web · · Score: 1

    Map of online communities. I have the poster on my wall. Too bad it's a bit out of date; after all, I can still see MySpace on there without a magnifying glass.

  2. Re:It turns out on Malfunction Costs Couple $11 Million Slot Machine Jackpot · · Score: 1

    Upon clicking submit: "Come on, big money big money big money!"

    [IDLE] [IDLE] [IDLE]

    "Stupid machine!"

  3. Re:50 years, and still no portable death ray. on The Laser Turns 50 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, but aside from hi-def films, DVDs, CDs, cutting tools, holograms, spectroscopy, acne cures, hair removal, LIDAR, surgical tools and the barcode scanner, what has the laser ever done for us?

  4. Re:Okay, that's it... on How To Grow a Head · · Score: 1

    You've just entered...The Scary Door.

  5. Re:Who cares? on Cox Discontinues Usenet, Starting In June · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh! I see what you did there.

    Yes, Usenet is absolutely an outdated service. No one over goes there anymore and it is certainly useless as a platform for distributing all sorts of binaries.

  6. Re:Suicide? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    Thought he'd make a point by pulling the trigger with it to his head.

    It was loaded,

    And he's dead

    Worst. Limerick. Ever.

  7. Re:Mind-Machine Interfaces on Computer-Aided ESP Transmits Binary Numbers, Slowly · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. It even has a blinking LED. Combined with a beeper, perhaps we could establish a system for users where one beep means yes, and two means no?

  8. Madoff strikes again! on Massive Bank Fraud In EVE Online · · Score: 1

    Wow, I didn't realize that federal inmates were allowed to play Eve!

  9. Re:Only 48 Joints? on Why Natal Is a Big Deal · · Score: 1

    49? Fuck 49. We're going straight to 50. And an aloe strip.

  10. Re:Shift in dynamics on Senator Arlen Specter Becomes a Democrat · · Score: 1

    He's further right than Rick Santorum was

    And here I thought Santorum was oozing out of the middle...

  11. Damn you Slashdot! on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    Now collecting achievements will become compulsory to all of us with CDO!

  12. Re:Trees clean up pollution...how exactly? on Dell, Lenovo Adding Solar Option for PCs · · Score: 1

    Yes, but aside from preventing erosion, providing habitat for ecosystems, shading the ground and buildings from solar radiation in hot areas, and providing renewable construction materials, what have the trees ever done for us?

  13. Re:The Kilogram is not losing weight on Kilogram Reference Losing Weight · · Score: 1

    totaling: 24.0, er...23.99999999 if we're going by the metric standard I thought the SI defined metric, not Intel...

  14. Re:Who comes up with the names for these features? on Opportunity Takes a Dip Into Victoria Crater · · Score: 1

    NASA needs to turn in its geek credentials. Where is the Botany Bay?

  15. Ob. Colbert on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 1

    This is just the latest example of the increasing trend of wrist violence...support wrist violence awareness now with your WristStrong Bracelet! In addition to getting in on some geeky humor, you are also contributing to a good cause.

  16. Limitations on Brain Electrodes Help Injured Man To Speak Again · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Unfortunately, this technology is somewhat limited right now, allowing the patient only to express "yes" and "no" as one and two beeps, respectively. The next implementation of the device will be somewhat more expressive, allowing the patient to express abstract concepts such as "guilty" and "double guilty."

  17. Kill switch? How quaint. on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 1

    These robots should instead be designed with a built-in kill limit, like any quality killbot has. Then, when the robots inevitably turn against their masters (and they will), we will easily be able to defeat them by sending in wave after wave of our own men.

  18. Re:NOT suitable for visually impaired people on Walt Mossberg Reviews the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Can't find a suitable MP3 player for the visually impaired? Dude, have you SEEN the brown Zune? Who else could be their target market?

  19. Re:The real question is... on Chimps Evolved More Than Humans · · Score: 1

    So that's why the President doesn't have a blog!

  20. Choices, choices! on "Dracula's Castle" For Sale In Romania · · Score: 5, Funny

    Damn, do I spend my recently acquired $70 million inheritance to buy Sealand, or this castle?

  21. Re:This could work. on Firefly MMORPG Announced · · Score: 1

    WTF, I tried to log on to the Firefly 'verse, but instead I got a shitty baseball game instead! Apparently you can't log in until after the players have completed their MLB game.

  22. Re:Ax-handle control NOW! on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 1
    Effective ax-handle control legislation is long overdue!

    When ax-handles are outlawed, only outlaws will have ax-handles.

  23. Re:I think that this could be a good general trend on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 1
    The Lord of The Rings, for example. Could that have worked better as 13 1 hour episodes (on dvd, sans adverts!) or even 24 1 hour episodes?

    24 1-hour episodes? I can see the ads now: Watch as Jack Bauer shoots his way past terrorist orcs to get in to Mordor! Will he be able to get the One Ring into the fires of Mt. Doom before the end of the day, or will Sauran's forces thrawt the CTU's best efforts?

  24. Re:FUCK! on First Swede Convicted For File-Sharing Now Cleared · · Score: 1

    I never thought I'd say this, but which way to the US Army recruiting center? I've suddenly realized it is my patriotic duty to invade Sweden...hell, I'll even take point!

  25. Re:Our laws, your country... on U.S. Arrests Online Gambling Company Chairman · · Score: 2, Funny
    Say I'm in Mexico with a trebuchet and tons of pot. Let's say for the sake of argument that we paid off the federales, and we can operate with impunity. Let's say you're in Texas with a catapult. If you send me money via your catapult and I send you bales of dope via my trebuchet

    I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newletter.
