  1. I think slashdot is the wrong forum for this on New Order of Insect Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bugtraq would be more appropriate

  2. These guys are sell outs! on Green, Wireless Networking · · Score: 3, Funny

    Green internet connection huh? Well lets see here... hmm depends on a sattelite with an apple airport for a connection and yet no mention of all the pollutants released in the atmosphere from the rocket.

    Lots of plastic chairs in the pictures that's not good.

    Cars! My god these people drove!

    Looks to me like it's just a bunch of yuppies doing their yearly feel-good protect the earth thing, and getting some excercise at the same time. When I saw that pic of the dude on the excercise bike I thought "Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer Go!"

  3. What to Sacrifice on Sacrificial Broadband? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Archeologists belive the Aztecs commited ritual human sacrice to postpone the end of the world.

    Maybe if we take all the worthless people (McDonalds Managers, all the Democrats, every Republican over the age of twenty-five, pedophiles and those guys who host religous programming on public access) and commit ritual human sacrifice for ping times.

    As proof of concept that Human Sacrifice works I would like to point out that the world hasn't ended yet.

  4. Yep on Cool Scientists Create Glowing Mice · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is definatly going to be the next big thing at raves.

  5. Myabe now on Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots · · Score: 2

    The 'bots can live in peace, sing music in the sun and put flowers in their hair.

    Wouldn't it be a wonderful world when every battlebot in the world would stand together in a line holding hands, grapplers, chainsaws, hammers etc and sing Kumbayaya.

    Now that peace has a chance we should embrace this oppurtunity to make this planet a better place for Humans and 'Bots alike. Let the barbaric killing for amusement stop and these simple machines rove around the fields of daisys like they where meant to.

  6. Serial Experiments Lain on Copland/Gershwin vs. NeXT · · Score: 2

    So that's where they got the name for the OS used in the series. I knew that the 'Navis' featured in the show where supposed to be futuristic Macs, but all this time I thought the 'Copland OS' was a stab at Microsoft.

  7. Help Desk on Safely Cleaning LCD Displays? · · Score: 2
    I had an (idiot) friend who shorted out a great many of the transistors on his laptop's LCD by spraying Windex on it.

    Just imagine if he called Tech Support for this one.

    Idiot Friend "Dude, like man, like you got to help me. Dude like my new monitor dosen't, like you know work."

    Tech Support "So what's wrong with it. Please describe in more detail."

    IF "Well dude, there was a puff of smoke like it was smokin' a little doobie, and it hasn't worked since then."

    TS "Really? Ok we'll send you a new one right away when did this happen?"

    IF "Like a few minutes ago man, right after I sprayed half a bottle of windex on the screen it was gettin real dirty from my fingerprints. I like to smoke big fattys and poke the screen to see that cool thing it does."

  8. Re:You can use windex... on Safely Cleaning LCD Displays? · · Score: 2

    ...just don't be a moron like your friend. Spray it on the cloth.

    I second that.

  9. I use on Safely Cleaning LCD Displays? · · Score: 2

    Formula 409 for everything external. That stuff is great when used with moderation. The particular flavor I currently have is "Glass and Surface with Citris Scent", comes in purple and looks like Grape Kool-aid. (hmmmm kool-aid.) Seriously, I have used this stuff on everything, keyboard, optical mouse , case, monitor, laptop lcd, laptop case, ipaq.

    There isn't anything harmful to your hardware if used with care. (ie. don't be a dumbass and spray the shit all over the place to fill every nook and cranny so the stuff gets inside what it is your cleaning.) I just spray a little (emphasis on the word little) on a clean rag (Clean is important)and wipe. No big deal.

  10. judge not a company by it's web page on First Commercial Moon Mission Approved · · Score: 2

    so thy got a shitty web page. That tells me they're not spending money on web design. Maybe tha banner ad was a quickie made by one of the engineers on some spare time? Maybe you should't blast a company by it's public outlook and give them a chance to actually get to the moon. Then when the money is rolling in from tourists, mining, whatever, you can bitch because the web page isn't up to your petty standards.

  11. it's annoying enough on Pro-Active Furniture Assembly · · Score: 3, Funny

    with the missus giving helpful advice. Now I have to listen to the actual piece of furniture I'm assembiling?

  12. I'm sorry on Rational Releases PurifyPlus for Linux · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    but when I first read 'PurifyPlus' I thought somebody must've ported Linux to their toilet.
    The name sounds to much like a generic '2000 flushes'.

  13. Aibo! Fetch the stick. on Self-Organizing Circuit Reinvents Radio · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Go on boy, go fetch the stick. "

    "Dude, what is your robot dog doing?"

    "I don't know. He isn't fetching the fucking stick. I guess I better dig up that reciept and get a new one."

    "Isn't this that new model with the breeding algorithm?"

    "Ah, so that's what he's doing with the stick!"

  14. God Dammit! on Scientists Discover What Makes Geckos Stick · · Score: 2

    It has been years since I have been able to fit into my plastic Spederman costume and NOW scientists figure out a way to climb walls.

  15. Cool on Scientists Discover What Makes Geckos Stick · · Score: 2

    Maybe, just maybe my childhood dream of being a friendly neighborhood spiderman will come true.

  16. there really is only one quote that sums this up on Ape-Human DNA Split · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Get your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!"

  17. I agree on Ask Larry Wall · · Score: 2

    Microsoft ads on /.? I think i'm going to finish loading all the MRE's into my basement and ride out the oncoming cataclysm.

  18. Ok, I'm drawing the line when it comes to training on Are You Getting Enough Say In Your Training? · · Score: 3, Funny

    1: I will not chase the beach ball. Forget it. It just isn't going to happen anymore.

    2: God dammitt, I am a giant cow of death! I will poop where I want.

    3: Watching the villagers bring food and wood to the town center is boring.

    4: Bringing food and wood to the town center is even more boring.

    5: WTF! I am a giant cow of death! I don't want to learn how to use a water miracle to water the damn crops, I want to learn FIREBALL!

    6: The throwing villagers around the island trick is pretty fun though. C'mon teach me more stuff like that and this relationship will change for the better.

  19. Re:This got me thinking on Giant Meteor Struck 3.5 Billion Years Ago · · Score: 3, Funny
    I know its nowhere as near as siple as that,but just my 2 cents

    Keep your money, you'll need it.

  20. Somebody make a pizza on Jaguar Pizza and Other Nerdy Things · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    and that counts as Stuff that matters?

  21. The reason to run Exchange on Can We Finally Ditch Exchange? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft.

  22. Call Dictionary.com on Cremation? Burial? How about Diamonds? · · Score: 5, Funny

    We have a new meaning for the term "Family Jewels".

  23. What they need to do with the intro on Doctor Phlox on Season 2 of Enterprise · · Score: 2

    Replace the theme with "Do you want to be a Spaceman?" by Oasis. Give it a try, the song fits alot better than the current song or the voyager theme used in the alternate intro.

    If I had some editing software I would have done it myself and let it loose on kazaa.

  24. Re:Not so Great idea! on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 2

    If you were at a movie theater and your sick grandmother passed away. I wouldn't mind that your phone beeped to let you know.

  25. They should enforce the rules they already have. on NYC Law Aims To Ban Cell Phones In Theatres · · Score: 2

    Most theaters I've been to already have a sign telling you to turn off cell phones, pager and other electronic devices. Is this enforced? No it isn't.

    On the other hand there's also a big No Smoking sign. Now next time you go to a movie light up a big fat stoogie and see how long it takes before your escorted out of the theater.

    Some /.er's in this thread advocate for the theaters to install jammers for their viewing convinence. WTF? Has crack suddenly become fashionable and I haven't noticed? Jesus people what if there is an emergency. Sure If some jackass is talking to his girlfriend they should be told to turn it off or leave, but if someone is sitting in the theater and recieves an emergency call they don't need bullshit from some overzealous geek on a phone etiqutte crusade.

    For me personaly, I don't have as much a problem with cell phones in particular. There's always some jerk talking anyways. Little cool gadgets that beep are not as annoying as some guy explaining the plot to his dim-witted girlfriend.

    People should just stand up to rude people and say something. Theaters need to enforce the rules already inplace. There's no need for jammers or any new laws, if theaters start getting a rep of enforcing the no cell phone ban they already have this wouldn't be as much of a problem.
