  1. That's odd on AXA sues Google over AdWords · · Score: 1
    I just did a search for AXA, and guess who came up first.

    Would you believe AXA?

  2. My God! on Build Your Own Imperial Star Destroyer · · Score: 1

    He's selling this for GBP 250! What is his major malfunction!

  3. Re:In other news on Berman Confirms Star Trek Prequel Film Project · · Score: 1
    Bah, TNG was namby-pamby. Now Space:1999, on the other hand....

    GD&RLH

  4. On romance and video games on Bachelor Contest Winner Chooses PS2, Not Girl · · Score: 5, Insightful
    My own experience has it that the girl of your dreams is more likely to be somebody you're not really looking for. Oppose a girl sent to you by competition. I mean, come on, that's forced and shallow.

    Enjoy your PS2, dude, you've earned it.

    FP!

  5. Slashdot speed, Scotty! on Berman Confirms Star Trek Prequel Film Project · · Score: 3, Funny

    In other news, the Trekweb site was brought to its knees at a factor of warp 4.

  6. Get another box on Is DOS Gaming Dead? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, really. Dig out that old 486 box with DOS 6.22, or OpenDOS 7 (remember, DR DOS people have nothing to do with the litigious bastards), or whatever version of DOS you have around, and let it run. Hell, it might even work in OS/2 or something.

  7. Re:Hope it won't be as bad as Caller ID on Microsoft Will Submit 'Caller ID' To The IETF · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lucky bastard. My caller ID shows collectors as "VOIP CALL" sometimes.

  8. Education my left eye on RIAA Ends "Clean Slate" Scam · · Score: 4, Funny
    Calling this education about copyright is like calling standing in a fire zone education about bullets.

    Now pardon me while I go download some mp3z. Oops.

  9. Spandex on Another Fan-Made TRON Costume · · Score: 1
    Spandex, ladies and gentlemen, is a privelege, not a right.

    Dude, you gotta lose some weight before trying to squeeze your fat arse into another unitard and showing yourself off like that. Now put some clothes on, please.

    God, how do I unsee that?....

  10. Re:Fire extinguisher on Silly Product Instructions? · · Score: 1

    I believe where you're supposed to be though is within blast range. Most of your chem extinguishers I've seen instruct you to be within 6 feet - so I see your point. But still....

  11. On my computer's power supply on Silly Product Instructions? · · Score: 1
    Years ago, when I had a high falootin' 286 with DOS 6.22 on it, I took a good look at the manual, which happened to mention that the power supply was capable of handling 110V and 220V.

    It also happened to mention that I should never mismatch the voltages for fear of letting the blue smoke out of the PS.

    I would think that this sort of thing would be astoundingly obvious.

  12. Pepto Bismol on Silly Product Instructions? · · Score: 1
    Pepto Bismol and other such bismuth subsalycilate based anti-nausea drugs contain a warning that you should not use this if you are allergic to aspirin.

    Thing is, though, while this seems strange to not be able to take an antacid on account of an aspirin allergy, it's not so strange. Note the last four syllables in that chemical I mentioned - salycilate - and remember that aspirin is the acetate of 'salysilic acid'.

  13. Re:Heres a few good ones on Silly Product Instructions? · · Score: 1

    The motorhome is a myth, with a bogus lawsuit attached to it. (The link takes you to a whole list of such lawsuits.)

  14. Fire extinguisher on Silly Product Instructions? · · Score: 5, Funny
    On the front:

    FIRE EXTINGUISHER

    On the back, oddly enough, were the following words:

    Do not use near heat or open flame

    ...huh?

  15. Re:A shame really. on BayStar Cashes Out of SCO Stock · · Score: 1
    If we don't go to court to test the legality of the GPL in the SCO case, it means it will happen later... perhaps against someone who doesn't have their head up their ass.

    Who needs SCO to do that? Seems the netfilter/iptables group has already done a nice job of it.

  16. Oh, it will work. on FTC Adopts New Rule For Sexually Explicit Spam · · Score: 1

    Just watch for the crap coming in with [Pr0n] in the Subject: header or something.

  17. Re:More info... on MySQL Clustering Software Launched · · Score: 1
    Oh, and they say availability is 99.999%, not just 99.99% :)

    Yes, but they're rounding it down a bit. =^^=

  18. Re:set nitpicking = on on MySQL Clustering Software Launched · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's PR. Remember, The SCO Group is "a leading provider of UNIX-based solutions", per many of their press releases. It doesn't make it any more acceptable, it's just a tactic. Chill.

  19. Holy smokes.... on Non-Lethal Sniper Rifle: You're Tagged For Life · · Score: 1

    Here we go again, waiting for the conspiracy theory crowd to get their claws on this one.

  20. All this in one package on Chipset Integrates Gigabit Ethernet, RAID, Firewall · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    But wait! Where are the complete set of steak knives to come with it absolutely free?

  21. In other news on Bicycle Riding on Square Wheels · · Score: 1

    Researchers in Garden Grove, Calif. are attempting to design a proper chair for people whose knees are backwards.

  22. Re:Supermarket on Why Do Other Geeks Leave the House? · · Score: 1

    Our pizzarias don't do green olives or art. hearts, you insensitive clod! =^^=

  23. Supermarket on Why Do Other Geeks Leave the House? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because, quite frankly, you can't get decent produce by sending somebody else to get it.

  24. Well, yes and no on Death by Coffee? · · Score: 1

    There's enough caffeine in 100 cups of coffee roughly speaking to kill you, yes, but the body metabolizes it so fast that, unless you intubated yourself, no, you are not going to die from it. Odds are better that you'll shake hard enough to homogenize yourself, though.

  25. God Dammit, NASA, cut it out! on Terrestrial Garbage On Mars · · Score: 1

    It's bad enough that this idiot keeps complaining about the view of Venus being obscured, now he has our crap up there to contend with. We DON'T NEED to give him another reason to blow us up and chase our cartoon characters around!
