  1. Re:Bottom Line on Preventing Sick Spaceships · · Score: 3, Funny

    Name me one voyage that lasted longer than even one year without having to dock in some fashion
    Pigs in Space. I dont recall the USS Swinetrek ever docking.
  2. In other news on Preventing Sick Spaceships · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    President Bush declares 'Globulars' (we think he meant globules) and mold living in islamofacist micro-ecologies to be 'enemy combatants determined to subvert US interests in space'. The status of grapfruit and dirty water is still thought to be under consideration.

  3. Re:Chair Weapons available in Halo3 on Halo 3 Beta Impressions · · Score: -1, Redundant

    And the classic "Operator Chair" which is simply picked up and thrown.
    Or the Balmer chair as shall be referred to here.
  4. Re:That's what wikilinks are for on Does Wikipedia Suck on Science Stories? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oceans are dolphins houses you big silly goose.

  5. Re:Science is hard? on Does Wikipedia Suck on Science Stories? · · Score: 1

    You have to use the "big words" [re: ideas, terms, vocabulary beyond a 6th grade level] to be practical.
    No if you can't explain the concept in relatively simple terms, for example the rechargeable battery metaphor for the ATP Cycle, then you probably dont understand it as well as you think yourself.
  6. Re:What the hell... on NASA's Atlantis Ready For June 8 Launch · · Score: 2, Funny

    Get them off the ground... get them in space and do it safely and as cheaply as possible (so they can do it more often). Leave fashion and style for the paris hilton's of the world. mmm-kay?
    OK Paris, sound advise there for NASA. Any chance of some more girl on girl action pics from your stint in the slammer?
  7. So a can of orange paint was out of the budget on NASA's Atlantis Ready For June 8 Launch · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hmm, doesn't exactly fill you with confidence does it.

  8. Re:Reckless driving on State Bans Texting While Driving · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would add that the offender should be forced to txt someone while the phone is being run over. A few broken digits should help them with their pennance.

  9. Re:question.... on State Bans Texting While Driving · · Score: 3, Funny

    The ONLY exception would be dialing 999 (911) for an emergency which is also the reason why you cannot stop driving (for example a guy shooting at you from a car behind or such.
    Usually you just raise the rear bullet proof shield and activate the oil jets causing your villaneous enemy to skid and crash in this scenario. Dialling 999 would just totally ruin your credibility within the secret agent community
  10. Its actually disturbing on State Bans Texting While Driving · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That there was a need for the State ban such moronic behaviour in the first place.

  11. Re:Notepad on Version Control for Important System Files? · · Score: 1

    My faith that Slashdot is not populated by humourless pedants is restored.

  12. Notepad on Version Control for Important System Files? · · Score: 4, Funny

    What more could you possibly need?

  13. And the next day on OLPC Project Rollout Begins In Uruguay · · Score: 1

    50% of the kids were taking pics of the other 50% playing football and the day after that they were all back to doing whatever it was they were doing before they got their laptops.

  14. Re:Well, which is it? lb of kg? W or kW? on NASA Gears Up for the Regolith Rumble · · Score: 1

    My brain is made heavy by the mass of your post.

  15. Shame on NASA Gears Up for the Regolith Rumble · · Score: 1

    My robot was designed to round up 130+ slaves to work in the sugar mines of our newly welcomed overlords. I dont think it works too well with regolith.

  16. Re:Old News.. on Scientists Create Artificial Blood · · Score: 1

    you don't really have time to fill out a consent form and the EMT's can't carry real blood with them so synthetic blood is the only option.
    Not the only option, in case of emergency I would always be open to having a few bloody marys administered.
  17. They said that Northern Europe on Could Global Warming Make Life on Earth Better? · · Score: 1

    would get a Mediterranean climate. I have been all in favour of global warming ever since so dont go telling me that prediction was innacurate.

  18. Re:Take a bow, Slashdot, you probably influence th on PC World Editor Returns, CEO Demoted · · Score: 1

    Slight brain failure, I meant to say Constructive Dismissal

  19. Re:and the obvious question is... on PC World Editor Returns, CEO Demoted · · Score: 1

    Glad you're not a boss at my company... you'd be boss of an empty building pretty quick.
    badasscat what are you still doing here? Didn't I fire you for not remembering my name shortly after I took over your dept? Anyway you are definitely fired now for daring to criticize a brilliant management strategy on Slashdot. And you're the last one so turn the lights off on your way out.
  20. Re:Take a bow, Slashdot, you probably influence th on PC World Editor Returns, CEO Demoted · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Nice to see that magazine do the right thing and restore some of their integrity.
    At a guess I would say this has very little to do with integrity or Slashdot and more to do with Mr McCrackens laywers threatening to bitch slap them with a suit for unfair dismissal. The former CEO would appear to have foolishly overstepped his authority in this matter and raised questions PC World really don't want to have to explain in any detail.
  21. Re:Screw the Chinese on Google Shareholders Reject Censorship Proposal · · Score: 3, Funny

    I will bear this in mind when you get taken for an extended waterboarding vacation in Gitmo.

  22. Censored post on Google Shareholders Reject Censorship Proposal · · Score: 5, Funny

    This post has been censored by Slashdot for crimes against groupthink but is available for viewing in the google cache.

  23. Re:So if it is a biased piece... on In Defense Of Patents and Copyright · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, ok, maybe not really, but it sure does seem to keep people busily coming back for more...
    Sure but in the process has removed any credibility Slashdot may have had as a news site. Unless you have been reading Slashdot for a whileand can spot the immediate drivel many of the articles now appear to be nothing more than deliberately inaccurate headlines followed by leading questions followed by hysterical comments with most rational debate modded out by groupthink.
  24. Does this mean ....... on ATI Committed To Fixing Its OSS Problems · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why dont you ask ATI what it means. How is Slashdot supposed to be privy to ATI's roadmap?

  25. Re:Tom Cruise Missiles on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 1

    The Tom Cruise Missiles was the funny part, unforunately he preceeded it by saying people should be killed which is what has him in trouble now. Mr Hubbard was notorious for his policy of vendettas against any critics of scientology, by all and any means and it seems his spirit is alive and kicking in the movement.
