  1. Re:military on Mathematicians Design Invisible Tunnel · · Score: 1

    Yeah, or make a giant dough-roller out of it and roll it over the country!

  2. Beating Chuck Norris on Mathematicians Design Invisible Tunnel · · Score: 2, Funny

    So now you can *KLANG* Chuck Norris on the head with a tube, and he won't see it coming?

    I don't think one would have much time to enjoy the moment though, 'cause he will round-house-kick the tube into your navel.

  3. Siamese twins on Microsoft Invents Split Screen PC · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apart from for Siamese twins, I don't see this being applied.

    Spare $$$ on the OS or office-suit; buy an extra monitor.

  4. Re:"that's the dumbest fucking idea..." on Bill Gates' Management Style · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh my god, I read TFA and the first thing I wondered:

    1. invent 'clippy'
    2. "That's the dumbest fucking idea..."
    3. ???
    4. clippy get's accepted

    That poor guy must have gone through some hell in #3 there.

  5. Poker on Bill Gates' Management Style · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No wonder he's ####ing good at poker.

    Oh, go see 'Pirates of Silicon Valley'. You'll enjoy it.

  6. Re:To many second life articles on The Elevator Effect In Second Life · · Score: 1

    Yes indeed, selling your body is prostitution.

    But if you don't make the distinction between;

    [a woman who makes money in prostitution because she needs the money or drugs, or one who sells her body against her own will]
    AND
    [someone who wants virtual money to reach a goal in her hobby and would not mind to give her body to a high-ranked fellow gamer]

    then your binary logical statement disturbs me.

  7. Re:To many second life articles on The Elevator Effect In Second Life · · Score: 4, Interesting

    To me she sounds like a girl who knows exactly what she wants, and what she wants to 'pay' for it.

    (leaving out that they are going to see each other again and obviously both enjoyed 'the transaction')

    Now what's wrong with that?

  8. Re:So who's going to buy them? on Dell to Sell Machines with Ubuntu Pre-Loaded · · Score: 1

    The people who were begging DELL to offer linux pre-installed, are the people who will install it their own way. My own systems run Debian. The systems I install for friends run Ubuntu.

  10. Re:I must be ignorant on Firefox Usage Near 25% In Europe · · Score: 1

    The Netherlands that is, Oceania. They decided the name-change in advance with the water-level increasing and all.

  11. Re:T-rays on Record High Frequency Achieved · · Score: 3, Funny

    Too bad you can camouflage the reflecting T-rays by wearing a T-shirt.

  13. Re:Stop the headline grab-assing please on SETI Finally Finds Something · · Score: 1

    Some of us actually enjoyed being fooled by the title, you sensitive clod!

  14. Pay again? on Vista Followup Already in the Works · · Score: 1

    Do Windows users have to pay for the upgrade to the 'new windows' by that time?

    Just curious.

  15. I've seen the answer somewhere ... on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 1

    Get icecubes from a meteor and cool the oceans.

    If that doesn't work transport all robots to an island and bomb it.

  16. Re:linux-wlan-ng injection on Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Now that's funny! These (parent) are the posts I skim slashdot for! ... And this post (this) is totally insignificant and is what I mod down.

  17. Re:so on Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released · · Score: 0

    Either you don't get the joke, or I don't get yours.

    42 was chosen for its deep philosophical significance.

  18. Re:OMG I see a huge performance increase in Apache on Linux Kernel 2.6.20 Released · · Score: 1

    So you now use the SMP option...

  19. How up to date is etch's? on XFCE Adds Icons, Switches to Thunar in v4.4 · · Score: 1

    Xfce4 from etch is 4.3.99.2. That seems pretty close to 4.4.

    Thunar, on the other hand is 0.4.0rc1, that seems far off from 0.8.

    Same versions for unstable of debian.

    I guess once etch is declared stable, there is no chance the new thunar will be hitting stable any time soon?

  20. Re:Biggest glacier in Iceland ... on What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice? · · Score: 1

    That was during the last ice ages

  21. Re:What I don't get... on FDA Decides Cloned Animals Safe to Eat · · Score: 1

    "A cloned human is no less human, is he/she?"

    So if you clone, you create a soul? Is it a re-incarnation or a fresh new soul?

    How do -for instance- Christians think about this subject?

    b.t.w. I'm a convinced atheist but I'd like to see 'believing-there-is-something people' bum-turn around these issues and I'm open for suggestions.

  22. Biggest glacier in Iceland ... on What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice? · · Score: 1

    wikipedia:

    Vatnajökull

    It's 8 percent of the country preserved since the ice age.

    The average thickness of the ice is 400 m, with a maximum thickness of 1000 m.

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb /Iceland_sat_cleaned.png

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Northern_iceshe et_hg.png

    Under the glacier, as under many of the glaciers of Iceland, there are several volcanoes. The volcanic lakes, Grímsvötn for example, were the sources of a large glacier run in 1996. The volcano under these lakes also caused a considerable but short-time eruption in the beginning of November 2004.

    Body area network, must be invented by a geek who can't get laid:

    "Let me just examine your body area network to see if I can pin-point this little problem... Do you feel a little tingeling here?"

  24. Gnome users; give epiphany a chance on Firefox Losing Its Way? · · Score: 1

    I love firefox for it's plugins, but in gnome, epiphany might be a good choice. I found it more stable, easier on the mem and for the rest not all that different from firefox.

    Don't forget to enable the ad-blocker and page-info under Tools->Extensions.

    One thing I am missing though is the CTRL+K for google-search.

    While you are at it; try abiword whenever you don't really need OOo.

  25. Re:Why send people? on NASA Making Plans To Save the Earth · · Score: 1

    Was the song really in the movie?

    I remember around that time that theme songs where not in the movie and I was disappointed.
