  1. Re:'bout normal on Music Industry Threatens to Pull Plug on Apple · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mmmmm...cash cow burgers.

  2. Re:Since when did they need fans? on A Fanless Graphics Card from ASUS · · Score: 1

    Nerthack.

    Have you played the Mac version call "iNertHack".

  3. Re:Can you imagine. . . on Robotic Patients Used to Help Train Doctors · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's always bugged me that my Real Doll had no internal organs. Sure, it's fun at first, but at the back of my mind is the nagging realization that a real woman would have a spleen.

  4. Re:Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.. on Creating Artificial Proteins · · Score: 5, Funny

    It'd be as liberating as developing software!

    We were liberated? Does that mean I can go home now?

  5. Re:This is why.... on Games Teaching the Basics of Programming · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sorry, could you repeat that?

  6. Re:In other news... on ESR Gets Job Offer From Microsoft · · Score: 3, Funny

    Tipper Gore and Dee Snider release a duet album.

    Glad to hear those crazy kids are back together.

  7. Re:Heirarchy of Modifiers on Diamond Nanotubes Created · · Score: 1

    I believe Sun Microsystems has already copyrighted this list for the naming their upcoming line of Sparc servers. I can't wait for the Ultimate Mega Ultra Sparcs to be released next year.

    Must have been a slow news day.
  9. It's all fun and games till the robots turn evil. on House-Sitting Robot Hits Store Shelves in Japan · · Score: 1
    Then comes the day when you get the following text on your cell phone:
    Roborior: Check out the video! It's me! I'm drinking your 50 year old scotch!
    To serve mankind, indeed.
  10. Re:dupe via comment on Super Door of the Future · · Score: 1

    4. my karma whoring days are over, you may as well delete my uid

    You're sure you don't want to sell it on EBay? I'd be interested to know what UID #7811227 would fetch.

  11. Re:looks like a... on Google Files to Sell 14.2 Million More Shares · · Score: 2, Informative

    If a company's officers are looking to cash out, they don't delute their holdings by putting 14.2 million more shares on the market. Unless, of course, the individuals in question are looking to embezzle the money out of the company and head to South America.

  12. Re:You Insensitive Clod!... on Space Meat Coming to your Kitchen · · Score: 2, Interesting

    On the other hand if it were "guaranteed" that with that one animal you could (and would) clone all the "meat" you want and no animals would be eaten after that point (i.e. all now-meat-eaters would become artificial-meat-eaters), then they would be pragmatic enough to support that.

    Suppose the vegan himself was the tissue donor. Could he cannibalize his own derived tissue without any ethical quandry?

  13. OT: remedial website design on Warren Spector on Licensing · · Score: 3, Informative

    Good Lord, that article made my eyes hurt. Obviously the article's content mattered less than ensuring the cool background graphics were aligned with a specific font size. The result is that one can't punch up the font size without the text overlapping.

    Attention web designers of Slashdot: one of you probably knows the individuals who developed this site. If you do, it is now your professional and moral obligation to smack some sense into them. That is all.

  14. Re:The future becomes as clear as it will ever be on How Many Wireless Technologies Can We Handle? · · Score: 1

    Dude, you're on Slashdot. Orkut is over there. Don't forget your Portuguese-English dictionary, though.

  15. Re:Unnecessary on Linux Passes the Microsoft WGA Test · · Score: 4, Funny
    Insert floppy 16 of 27. Press any key to continue your lesson, slave.
    Yes, my dread distribution.
  16. Re:Hauling The Trash... on Discovery Prepares for Return · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah. Calculate how much energy that would take. It's actually pretty hard to hit the sun from here.

    Fine, Mr. Wizard, do your calculations. Just bear in mind while you're doing your math stuff that astronauts are in peak physical condition. Also, they'll be pitching the garbage overhand, not underhand.

  17. Re:Culture wars is right. on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    Ra's Al Ghul, is that you?

  18. Re:...and? on Space Shuttle to Receive Emegency Repairs · · Score: 1

    That's suicide, man! Remodulating the deflector dish could start a chain reaction that would tear the entire ship apart!

  19. Re:Republicans sponsored the bill & you blame on Hillary, GTA, and High School Football · · Score: 1

    Is he refering to the poem by Lewis Carroll or the sub-par Monty Python production of the same name? If it's the latter, I have to say it'll be more than just the ladies rolling their eyes. Yech, what a horrible flick.

  20. Re:I would... on Fun and Informative Way to Introduce Open Source? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why stop there? I like to sneak into my manager's office, wipe his harddrive and slap a ten year old version of Slackware on his system.

    Wait, was this supposed to be fun for him or for me?

  21. Re:Multilingual? on Orkut Linked To Drug Ring Bust · · Score: 1

    This is exactly why I'm learning Esperanto -- so I can effectively troll everyone on the Orkut forums at once.

    Now how do you say, "Score me some?" in Esperanto?

  22. Re:First Words on Mars? on NASA Policy Includes Mars, Moon Missions · · Score: 1

    Then it's five more weeks of Martian winter?

  23. Re:"intentially"? on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This Microsoft exec could have gotten a tech job with any company that wasn't directly competing with Microsoft

    What the hell does that leave? The toaster oven industry?

  24. Re:Of course on The Changing Face of Computer Science · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's nice for the jobs, but they never send you postcards after they leave.

  25. Re:Just let me know on Death Star Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    "Hey, baby! Anyone ever tell you look just like Natalie Portman? Come over here and check out my ride. It's got 385 Tauntauns under the hood. Maybe we can go over to my apartment. I've got hot grits and Death Star loudspeakers. Yeah, baby."

    That oughta sound real compelling transmitted over the Mr. Microphone modded to make you sound like James Earl Jones.
