  1. Those who don't study history... on China Wants To Establish Moon Mining · · Score: 1

    Didn't these people ever see Star Trek VI?

  2. Re: Deadbeats on Slashback: Stupidity, Telebastardy, Fast Search · · Score: 1

    Ok, so let me get this straight. I'm Joe deadbeat, but I still pay for a phone. But, since I've been labled a "deadbeat" by EQUIFAX or some rabid collecation agency, it's OK for them to spoof my CallerID or bypass means that I have put in place to try to require callers to present a valid call?

    Dear Mr. Mon,

    You are absolutely correct. Not only that, but we are also granted access to slashdot.org's log files. Now, if you don't want us to inform your loved ones that you're the "In Soviet Russia..." troll, you'll give us a call right now.

    Sincerely,
    Ichthyiophile Debt Resolution Service

  3. Re:Happens in Virginia all the time... on Los Alamos Security Infiltrated By Reporter · · Score: 1

    And I think it's the remaining 10% that we need to worry about

    No kidding, that's where buffalo work--quitely controlling our nation's leaders.

  4. Digital? on Overture To Buy AltaVista · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember that Altavista could be reached through a host on some old guard company's domain. Anybody have that handy?

  5. Re:Its too bad.. on Why Do Google Hit Numbers Vary? · · Score: 1
    It's too bad Google doesn't have one of those things where you can watch everyone's search scrolling down the screen live. I bet there would be a lot of "pictures of mountains" searches right about now.

    By "pictures of mountains," I think you mean "huge tracts of land."

  6. Re:My Reasons for Wanting Those Ports on Dell Dropping The Floppy · · Score: 1

    PS/2: Tried, true, and works with my old IBM clicky-clacky keyboard. I love that keyboard, and it's waaay more durable than any newer keyboard. I've spilled beer on it and it continues clacking away.

    PS/2 USB converter.


    His point was that the old clickity-clacks require tweakage to work with USB-PS/2 adapters.

  7. Ask any 5300 owner... on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries? · · Score: 1

    ...inconsistent is better than incendiary.

  8. Re:I want to know one thing about bulk e-mail ads. on MonsterHut Jammed for Spam · · Score: 1

    You bastard! Do you realize how much it hurts to have dr. pepper shoot out your nose!?

  9. Reader's Guide version: on U.S. Air Force Developing Microwave Weapon · · Score: 1

    Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops.

    -General "Buck" Turgidson

  10. Music exchange rate on Verizon Loses Suit Over Subpoena of Subscriber Info · · Score: 1

    I think that by "600 songs in one day" they meant 12 Doors songs.

  11. Suggestion on Second Hand Hard Discs Reveal Secrets · · Score: 1

    In all seriousness, it would do Slashdot a world of good if "Boobies" was under the topics menu.

  12. WKRP on Why (FM, Not XM) Radio Sucks · · Score: 3, Funny

    What ever happenned to the days of good, honest record labels sending good, honest dj's good, honest album covers filled with cocaine.

    We don't need no corporation...

  13. Page 3 on UFO Evidence From SOHO Satellite · · Score: 1

    Let me tell you this: Almost everything on Page 3 (not safe for work) is photoshopped.

  14. Patent for gravity transmitter on Slashback: Iridium, Synthesis, Drives · · Score: 1

    Fig 1
    Dude

    Fig 2
    Ball

    Fig 3
    Dude

    Fig 1 tosses Fig 2 to Fig 3, and vice versa, on cue, producing a binary transmitter of gravity waves.

  15. Paranoia on Taking Linux to New Heights · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shame, shame Slashdot. Look at what kind of paranoia you've bred in Linux users--installing OpenSSH on a weatherballoon!

  16. Re:Sweeter than Ninjas! on New Generation of Cases? · · Score: 1

    Cynic 1: You have just blown our minds.
    Cynic 2: Our minds have been blown!

  17. Sales on New Generation of Cases? · · Score: 1

    It'll be interesting to see if this catches on. I kind of doubt it.

    It's kind of hard for a product to catch on if you don't offer the customer a method of buying it.

  18. Don't let that get you down on Girls not Going into CS · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who knows, maybe they're just castrati.

  19. Printer Review on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 1

    If you're looking for years' worth of bump-and-grind coming out of printer, look no further than the HP Photosmart 1115. Imagine if you will a ink cartrige/stylus assembly weighing in at over two pounds. When it hits a spreadsheet, my desk feels as though there are copulating armadillos underneath it (or maybe these things).

  20. Corporal punishment on Improving Digital Photography · · Score: 1

    Now, I'm not usually one to condone castration for sloppy reporting, but reporting the wavelengths of light as "3/100,000 of an inch" and "1/50,000 of an inch" seems to make this punishment fit the crime.

  21. Re:And in more shocking news... on Ask Jeeves Gives Up On Banner Ads · · Score: 2, Informative

    Jeeves is a character from a series of extremely fun P.G. Wodehouse books (example) who continually makes up for his master's bumblings in upper-class England.

  22. This is plagiarism on PC in a.... Sphere? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's so rare that the Industry steals from Bob the Angry Flower.

  23. Screendump on Opera Gives That C64 Feel · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The free-software Jacobins can rant all they want, but when it comes to posting screen shots on slashdot, PNG isn't a great format to use.

  24. Re:Measurement units on SimEarth: Terraforming Mars by the Numbers · · Score: 1

    "The US Senate has featured .4 Connecticuts of Kennedies during the 20th century" or "when Butafuco's yard was searched by cadaver dogs, 3.6 Lake Michigans of assorted mobster parts were discovered buried..."

  25. Re:In SOVIET RUSSIA all of us belong to base! on Web Zeitgeist · · Score: 1

    It's been a pretty big cliche on fark.com for a while. It wouldnt be the first farkism to have migrated--or vice versa.
