  1. Re:I'm not a game programmer on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 1

    we expect that like most jobs there will be aspects to it that supremely suck ass

    Even more expected in porn!

  2. Bush will take care of it. on A Thoughtful Look at Indian Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    India: WMDs out the wazoo! Proven. Well-known.

    India after US invasion: Cheap labour, still. But American managers!

  3. Re:I still play with my Lego :) on Lego Goes Back to the Basics: Building Blocks · · Score: 1

    Right on, brother. Too bad it took them that long to realize this...

  4. The true problem on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 1

    This has more to do with lighting conditions and filters in the studio where all of these images, probes and moon landings are produced.

    Some stage hand forget to put the same filters on the spots that were used in the original images.

    'Real'.... hahaha....

  5. Of course, on Bangalore Beats Silicon Valley · · Score: 0

    I, for one, welcome our new Indian masters!

  6. Re:How long... on DVD-Jon Breaks iTunes Encryption For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    Amen brother, if I'm downloading an album, then I want my uncompressed bits when I burn to CD. Why? Why the hell not?

  7. According to the Zeitgeist on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    Linux has only 1% share of google-accessing PCs. I never imagined (after reading Slashdot for so long) that it would be such a small part of the whole.

    Wow...

  8. While they are at it... on What You Get When You Buy a Spam CD · · Score: 5, Funny

    can they also please test one of those penis enlargement pills? I'd like to know if they work...

  9. What rig did they use? on Plow Operators Object to GPS Tracking System · · Score: 1

    Hey, if anyone knows the kind of gps-enabled cell phone they use, please let me know! I'm looking for something similar.

    Thanks!

  10. Two weeks to build, and then... on First Reproducing Artificial Virus Created · · Score: 1

    28 Days Later...

  11. economics on Batteries Continue To Suck · · Score: 1, Troll

    If batteries didn't suck, there'd be less reason to buy more.

    end of story.

  12. Re:Well I was gonna use Linux for my router... on Belkin To Offer Firmware Fix For Router Hijacking · · Score: 1

    I clicked the link in your sig, and now I feel like slitting my throat!

  13. Wha! on Apple to Fix Security Holes in Jaguar · · Score: 5, Funny

    Conspiracy! And slashdotters believed it? Un-be-lievable!

  15. A good deal... on Puretracks.com Enters The Online Music Fray · · Score: 1


    only $0.14 US per track!

  16. Ironic and Sad on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    I submitted an article about the shift key bypass two days ago, and in it I joked about DMCA prosecution. I thought I was being sarcastic!

  17. Re:What about widescreens...? on Multiple Monitors Increase Productivity · · Score: 1


    and of course, ultra-long syslogs
    Whoa, for a second there I thought I read "ultra-long schlongs". Although, I suppose the wide screen would be useful for viewing them to, if so inclined...

  18. Give it up, MS! on Company Files Motion to Stop IE Distribution · · Score: 0


    Just use Firebird. I guarantee a pleasant experience!

  19. Is this necessary? on Michigan To Purchase Record 130,000 Laptops · · Score: 1


    I wonder if anyone has really thought through the necessity of giving a 6th grader a laptop? Aren't there better things to learn/do at this age?
    The blind rush to place a computer on every school desk mystifies me. It's a tool, like any other. It has its place (in computer class in this case), like any other. We don't give them cars or hammers, although they are useful tools as well.

  20. Sure, fun, but on Get Paid To Crack? · · Score: 1


    I think I'll work at Wendy's for the week... more profit!

  21. Re:Following their lead on Lawsuit Against Microsoft Over Insecure Software · · Score: 1

  22. You'll never see it. And why? Stonecutters! on New Solar Cells 20 Times Cheaper · · Score: 1

    Who controls the British crown?
    Who keeps the metric system down?
    We do! We do!
    Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
    Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
    We do! We do!
    Who holds back the electric car?
    Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
    We do! We do!
    Who robs the cave fish of their site?
    Who rigs every Oscar night?

    Boook? What is this Boook of which you speak?

  24. Re:RC5 and 1.1.0 is the same on OpenOffice.org Hits 1.1 · · Score: 1


    But it's worth downloading just so Help.. About.. shows 1.1!
    :)

  25. Re:Yeah but will it actually feel faster? on New Pentium 5 Details - 5-7ghz? · · Score: 1

    I can second that. I had a P3-1000 and went to a dual Athlon 1900 -- sure it's a bit faster, but you'd sure expect more. HOWEVER, I also co-locate a server with the SAME specifications but with Ultra160 SCSI drives. You'd swear they were different machines!

    If I could afford it, I'd put Ultra320s in my home box, but I can't!!
