  1. Titanium foil hats on DOE Report on Cold Fusion · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... to provide evidence for low energy nuclear reactions. These experiments involved low energy deuterium beams impinging on deuterium loaded metal foils such as titanium.

    In moments like these I'm glad I bought the tin foil hat and not the more luxurious titanium one.

  2. Eric S Raymond on An Update on Patrick Volkerding · · Score: 0

    I went to the ER immediately.

    Sure, Eric S Raymond is a good hacker, but wouldn't it be wiser to go to a hospital?

  3. Programming in a high level language is somethi... on How Computers Work... in 1971 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Programming in machine code is a job for a highly trained person, whereas programming in a high level language is something most people can do provided they are given time to learn the rules that must be followed"

    That was optimistic. We have languages such as C++, Python, Java etc now (compared to FORTRAN and COBOL they mentioned in the book) and still programming is sort of a geek thing.

  4. Re:twin primes. on Twin Prime Proof Proffered · · Score: 1

    To me these gaps look like some sort of waveform. If I had better coding skills in the manipulation of sound, I would write a program to generate a sound wave out of these numbers. Does anyone know if this has been tried and if so, what was discovered?

    "All your base are belong to us" in a slightly annoyed British accent.

  5. Re:Where're the Cheetos??? on 30 Years Of Dungeons And Dragons · · Score: 2, Funny

    I attack the darkness!

  6. Wait, 11 000 words = 22 000 bytes on 11,000 Words on the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. 11 000 words = 22 000 bytes.
    2. Assuming an average word is 5 bytes, the text is actually 4 400 words.
    3. Repeat.

    The review is actually just one quad word in hexadecimal notation: 10CA550CC5.

    Oh what the heck:

    4. Profit.

  7. Re:so on "Levels" of Computers the Future? · · Score: 1

    You'll need *rolls dice* 1500 XP. To fight of drones and marketing people, use my +1 Mace.

  8. Re:real-world popup ads :( on New Ad Technology Tracks Consumer Movement · · Score: 1

    A popup BLOCKER, are you mad?

    ...

    Ohh, thought it said pinup.

  9. I wish I was his girlfriend. on Man Stalks Ex-girlfriend With GPS · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wish I was his girlfriend, because some stupid punks stole my car yesterday. Man, I would love to find out who it was and where he is.

  10. Re:Jesus H Christ on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 1

    Is that the Global Network of Arab Activists or the Great North Air Ambulance? Must be below my threshold then.

  11. Slashdot - nuke replacement on Online Replacements for Desktop Apps? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot - online replacment for the old fashion nuke programs.

  12. "Don't smoke" on British Schoolkids Get Copyright Education · · Score: 1

    I think this is a great idea. If you tell a high school kid not to smoke and the dangers of smoking, guess what will happen. ;)

  13. Someone have to say it... on The PHP Anthology - Volume I, 'Foundations' · · Score: 0

    Harry... Fucks?

  14. AntiCrash? on Windows Accelerators - Do They Really Work? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, it didn't work on their webserver...

  15. Terabytes? I eat terabytes for breakfest on Terabyte Storage Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Real Mean(tm) use this, the StorageTek Streamline. It will take 300 000 carts. At 300 GB per cart, that's 90 Petabyte. Lets see.. That's 90 000 TB, or 90 000 000 GB, or 450 000 000 000 pornographic images.

  16. ARG? on Halo 2 Website Puzzle Confounds · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A new ARG perhaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_Reality_Gam e

  17. Kenneth Brown didn't write Samizdat! on Ken Brown Responds to His Critics · · Score: 1

    Let's write a book about whether or not Ken Brown actually wrote this book all by himself. Come on, no single person can be this stupid.
