  1. Distributed Murder on Opera's CEO to Swim From Norway to the USA · · Score: 5, Funny

    Would that be a Distributed Murder Attack?

  2. Re:Are you free? on Turing's Original Test Played First Time Ever · · Score: 1

    You could say the same thing about teenagers...

  3. Creeping people out on Detecting Speech Without Microphones · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't wait to have one so i could hook it up to some speakers and talk to people without moving my lips.

    Would probably creep people out... i mean... more than i usually do.. =\

  4. Making a real one. on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I had this virtual-pet thingy once which i got for free somewhere and when i removed the LCD it looked just like regular glass.

    Is there anything preventing one from relocating the hardware at the back of an LCD monitor for the same effect?

  5. Re:Someone give me one good reason... on EU Sleuths Think Microsoft Sabotaged Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Then maybe admins should rethink their policies.
    It makes absolutely no fucking sense to be able to include a video or an executable in what's supposed to be a printable text document.

  6. Re:who are these enemies? on "Enemies of Linux" Trying to Undermine OS? · · Score: 1

    So what they're basically saying is that Tux's main enemies are Explorers and a bunch of guys selling excrement?

  7. Re:GREAT SCOTT! on Computer Cracks 5x5 Go · · Score: 1

    Slashdot - News for historians. Stuff that mattered?

  8. Re:I see... on Straczynski Offers To Re-Boot Star Trek [updated] · · Score: 5, Funny

    Makes his corpse reverse polarity in its grave, one might say.

  9. Terminators on More Cell Processor Details And First Pictures · · Score: 1

    Does that make terminators the aimbots?

  10. Re:World domination on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 5, Funny

    In a few years you'll be driving your google to the google to buy some google for your google.

  11. Re:Roman Numerals on New Intel Trademark Filed · · Score: 1

    Centurion: What's this thing? "Intel Inside VIIV"?
    Marketing guy: It... it says "Intel Inside 64".
    Centurion: No it doesn't. What are the roman numerals for 64 ?
    Marketing guy hesitates
    Centurion: Come on, come on!
    Marketing guy: (uncertain) "XXXXXXIV?".
    Centurion: What's the largest numeral smaller than 64?
    Marketing guy: "Fifty?".
    Centurion: Numeral for fifty is?
    Marketing guy: "L".
    Centurion: (takes legal forms from Marketing guy and writes over) "LXIII".

  12. Re:Are they controlled by SkyNet on Pentagon To Send Robot Soldiers to Iraq · · Score: 1

    Do i need to remind you he was one of the bad guys in the first movie?

  13. Anime on Setting up a High-Tech Language School? · · Score: 1

    Could probably make it interesting by getting some anime and manga to use for study.

    I wonder what the educational value of hetai is..

  14. Re:Switch to IE rendering? on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    And not having it just makes people say, hey, this thing is broken, i'm going back to IE.

  15. Re:Switch to IE rendering? on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    That might be true, but there are certain sites IE-based sites Firefox doesn't render.
    And a feature like being able to switch rendering engines saves you from needing to use two different browsers.

    Right now i have IE with nothing but my college's site bookmarked and i need to load the damned thing every time i need to download assignments and such.

  16. Projectors on Screw-in LED Floodlights · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it would be a good idea to use LED based lightbulbs for projectors, i hear those bulbs are pretty expensive and don't last very long...

  17. Recent rise in zombies. on Raimi Remaking 'Evil Dead'? · · Score: 1

    There seems to be a large rise in zombie-movies in the last two-three years...

    Resident Evil 1 & 2
    Dawn of the dead.
    Shaun of the dead.
    28 days later.
    I'm sure there are a couple more i missed.

    Coupled with the recent release of Doom 3, i'm thinking someone knows something we don't and is trying to prepare us for an inpending uprise of the undead. =o
    Just remember, aim for the head and stay away from seemingly innocent children.

  18. In other news on Google Image Index Just Not Updated · · Score: 5, Funny

    The sky is falling!
    The sky is falling!
    Oh wait.
    Nevermind.

  19. Not an MP3 player. on Olympus Preps MP3 Player With Cam & Color Display · · Score: 1

    More like a digital camera that can play MP3s.
    A device that has more features that are unrelated to MP3 playing than the playing itself should exclude the device from the MP3-player group.
    They should call it a multimedia device or some other buzzword so it isn't confused with an actual MP3 player.

  20. Education on Ask Neal Stephenson · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I am currently reading The Diamond Age.
    And i've recently finished Highschool.

    I was wondering what you think are the major flaws in the current western educational system.
    And in what ways do you think it could be improved?

  21. Re:Too much text on Online World News · · Score: 0

    I agree, it's like someone trying to run a buffer-overflow exploit on your brain. =\

  22. Re:Bloat on Rumors of Next Generation of Ipods · · Score: 0

    That's just the differance between us, i have absolutely no use for a PDA, 40GB or otherwise.
    I want a simple durable high-capacity device that plays MP3s.
    I'm not saying there's no market for 40GB, 320x240 color displays with all the bells and whistles, i'm just saying that that's not an MP3 player.

  23. Re:60 GB.. on Rumors of Next Generation of Ipods · · Score: 0

    Maybe you should concider a new HDD.
    I'm just reaching the 24GB limit of my MP3 partition, 12GB of which i have a copy of on my 20GB Archos and i wouldn't mind 20GB more to spare.

    You should also take into account that these things are sometimes used to transfer stuff between friends and such.

  24. Bloat on Rumors of Next Generation of Ipods · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I wish companies would stop shoving all those features into the new devices.

    I'm sure a bunch of people would find high resolution color displays useful, but i wish someone would concentrate on making a device that simply plays music, is small and has long battery life.

  25. Re:Here's the thing I don't get about MTV. on Video Game Characters to Get Out the Vote · · Score: -1

    I know this one guy who calls it Empty-V.
    I find it rather apropriate.
