  1. Hammers drive nails, screwdrivers screw on Rapid J2EE Development · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...and PHP does both even better.

  2. Don't worry, Commander on The Bender PC Case · · Score: 1

    I can't read any of your words either.

  3. Re:I'll kill myself if I don't like this movie!!!! on Revenge of the Sith TV Spots Revealed · · Score: 1

    Hey, let's go for a two-fer!

  4. Re:Egh on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, he's Romulox. Master Shake wishes he was him.

  5. Solid Snake did this years ago on Detecting Speech Without Microphones · · Score: 2, Funny

    Remember Snake doing this on MGS?

  6. There's an old saying we have in Texas on SBC Promotes Texas Anti-Wireless Bill · · Score: 3, Funny

    As a resident of Texas, I actually wasn't aware fo this until I opened up Slashdot today. First, shame on me.

    Fool me once... shame on... shame on you.

    Fool me.. you can't get fooled again.

  7. +1, Funny on Mandrakesoft Changes Name to Mandriva · · Score: 1

    I can't help but say "Bring out the GIMP" every time I click the icon.

  8. Enough of the damn April Fools jokes on Auto Code Commenting Software, Free Chairs · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has become utterly worthless today. I thirst for legitimate articles!

  9. Re:I switched on Forbes Predicts 5% Desktop Share for Apple in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Powerbook keyboards are terrific. iBook keyboards are the suck (horribly the suck, in fact.) Go into a store and type up a quick brown fox. You'll be amazed at how much feedback they can cram into such a short amount of key travel.

  10. TOP GEAR FIFTH GEAR = #t on British TV Station Offers Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Puh-leeze. They're not doing it for the machismo factor. They're doing it because it's HILL-ARIOUS! The guys at Top Gear enjoy everything about cars, even when it has nothing to do with driving them:

    * Bobsled v. Mitsu Evo VIII
    * Ferrari 612 v. Mass Transit
    * Hilux torture session
    * Caravan slingshot
    * 2000-quid Porsche Challenge
    * Celebrity in a Reasonably Priced Car

    Don't those all sound ten times better than watching Tiff spray cum all over the cabin of an RX-8 when he tries to describe its handling?

    2. ... (spread FUD)
    3. Profit!

  14. Fanx, Firefox on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    How much do you want a bet it was the excitement surrounding Firefox that woke the beast up from its nap? Yay, the browser wars are truly back!

  15. I hacked it! on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 1

    I tried my trusty list "zxcvb", "GOD", "SEX", "god", "krmit" and found that the stupid sysadmin had chosen GOD as his password, because they think they are gods!!!!

  16. MESSAGE FOR YOU SIR! (thump) on RFID + Dart gun = DartMail! · · Score: 1

    Now if only Gallahad had an RFID reader!

  17. I call BS on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    A machine is not going to zero in on the details of a human tragedy and respond wildly to it.

    To a machine, a human dying is merely a change in how carbon atoms are being redeposited in the universe.

    Wouldn't it be reacting wildly to something else.. like a thunderstorm? Why would it zero in on a tiny little plane flying into a building? That is utterly insignificant--and a relatively artifical "event"--on the global scale of things. The only thing that makes it significant to US is human social behavior. We made it a tragedy because we mourned their loss, not because it was a huge explosion that rocked the earth or anything like that.

    This is total BS. I thought /. would be less gullible than this.

    Where are you when I need you, James Randi?

  18. Freely available byte stream without a computer? on Low Tech Gutenberg? · · Score: 1

    sorry, up a creek without a paddle.

    Seriously, I can't separate that whiny lameass comedian from the word Viagra anymore.

    JAY: Hey Kevin.. just read the newspaper..
    KEVIN: What, Jay.. chortle, gahahaha..
    JAY: and get this--true story!!--a train was derailed today--i'm not making this up here!
    KEVIN: *laughs*
    JAY: Apparently, Hillary Clinton Lewinsky Viagra William Hung Bush's Pretzel!!!
    KEVIN: *laughs hysterically and strums a few nonsensical bass notes*

  20. The Sony hype machine strikes again on More Cell Processor Details And First Pictures · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Remember how the Emotion Engine worked us all into a lather five years ago? And when it came out, it was just merely competitive with contemporary processors? Sony is great at churning out nerd fetish tech, but they have a terrible track record of living up to their promises. Let's hope it's different this time.

  21. Re:Another impending naming debacle? on Mozilla Sunbird's First Official Release · · Score: 1

    Nothing makes you feel more like a man than a new ThunderCougarFalconBird!

    this is a first
    once-in-a-millenium

    My friend, if this was a once-in-a-millenium occurance, this would be classified as "a 4,600,000th".

    Or if you be of the Christian faith, a 6th.

  23. Re:Misson Accomplished!! on U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Resigns · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not outside the realm of possibility. The Bush administration slapped big stickers that said MADE IN USA on a big pallet of crates during a photo op. The pallets used to say MADE IN CHINA...
