  2. So the Hams... on Web Access Over Power Lines · · Score: 1, Funny

    were cheesed? Except for the Virginia Hams who had exceptionally salty language for the power companies. The country Hams were milder in their criticism and the baked Hams didn't even notice.

    mmmmmm... apple kool aid.

  8. And I pity anyone... on Japan Striving For Energy Efficiency · · Score: 1


    who can't spell 'pity'.

    It's a stretch, but I think 'pitty' means - 'like or similar to, under an armpit'.

    -not from the wonderful, built-in Oxford Dictionary on my Mac.

    Wow. It really got to you losing that election.

    no one will ever miss.

  17. The Longhorn/Copeland comparision on Microsoft Uncertain About WinFS for XP · · Score: 1

    More and more it looks right.

    I picture Gates in a cape and tights running endlessly from group to group giving 'genius' guidance to move things along. He finishes and leaves and the people gather and shake their heads.

  21. Sound of Silence on 5 Simple Steps to a Quieter PC · · Score: 2, Funny

    (apologies in advance)

    Hello iMac, my old friend
    I've come to talk with you again
    Because a vision softly creeping
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping
    My PC, noisy fans ring in my brain
    And still remain
    Outside the sound of silence

    In restless dreams I walked alone
    And tried to hear who's on the phone
    Despite the frequencies of heat exhaust
    I closed my door to try to mute and damp
    When my ears were stabbed by the sound of a bearing fail
    there lies the tale...
    the fan was seized, and silent.

    --- shut-up! I'll stop! I'll stop!

  22. Re:Gamma ray flashes worry me more than anything.. on Brightest Galactic Flash Ever Detected Hits Earth · · Score: 1


    a sterile Earth... imagine the consequences. She'll be hanging out in bars, picking up strange planets... spending her time being pummeled by asteroids. Not a care in the world!

    opening his fridge for a snack.

    How about a new category: 'Idiot Slashvant'. That would be someone who is completely focused on Slashdot and is really really good at moderating...

  25. In the year 2000... on The Death of the Music CD · · Score: 1

    Soon, we'll take a child at birth,
    having mapped out all the genes.
    Run a test and if they're musical,
    or might be the next James Dean,
    make a clone just for our safety's sake.
    Record every move and sound they make,
    and never - ever miss a thing again.
