  1. Easter Eggs on Trustworthy Software For The NSA? · · Score: 2, Funny

    NSA is about total information, right?

    I think it's a good idea that NSA software is developed in China. I bet there are "undocumented" key combinations that will disable Macrovision and regional restrictions.

  2. Re:Do they ever NOT recommend the book? on Text Processing in Python · · Score: 1, Redundant

    What's the motivation? Nobody gets affiliate fees for books that nobody buys.

  3. Re:Great Intro on Text Processing in Python · · Score: 3, Funny

    I read that intro about five times to figure out what he was saying. Basically, if you want to learn Python, you will benefit from this book.

    or....

    This book is good. (Python is implied)

    There you go, I distilled the whole intro into four words.

    Or even better yet: Good book.

  4. Other shocking comparisons.. on Ink More Expensive Than Champagne · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pound for pound...

    Poodles cost more than horses!

    Crack whores cost more than fatties!

    Eardrums cost more than eyeballs!

  5. Re:portability + power=profit on Laptops Outsell Desktops in Retail Stores · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have never understood the idea that laptops are more comfortable than desktops. My forearms are resting on my chair's armrests, my 21" monitor is at eye level. Try that with a laptop (sans docking station).

  7. Perfect for me on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm used to using my hand.

  8. Million dollars aint enough on Leave Outer Space to the Millionaires · · Score: 1

    It's not in the body of the article, but the title is kind of, well... quaint.

    Just being a millionaire is hardly enough to be able to afford this.

    Now if it said zillionaire....

  9. You know what will happen, don't you? on Leave Outer Space to the Millionaires · · Score: 4, Funny

    When they come back to earth, they will be forced to wear iron collars and chains because they keep saying, "Damn, dirty apes!"

  10. I agree completely on Leave Outer Space to the Millionaires · · Score: 3, Funny

    As long as I am the one who gets to pick which millionaires are shot into space.

  11. this is what it takes on Gates and Security · · Score: 3, Funny

    Put bars on Windows and locks on Gates.

    Then I'll feel secure.

  12. No thanks on Microsoft Releases SP4 for Windows 2000 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll wait until it's been ported to Linux.

  13. Transcript of Microsoft's closing argument. on Appeals Court Sides With Microsoft On Java · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In case it gets slashdotted.

    MS: But I don't like Java in my Longhorn!

  14. In related news.. on Appeals Court Sides With Microsoft On Java · · Score: 4, Funny

    Three members of the federal appeals court have just purchased Ferraris.

  15. This is an old trick on World's Smallest Desktop Pentium4? · · Score: 2, Funny

    People have done this for years. You get a real smart midget (like Michael J. Fox) to sit inside the empty box. He's the one actually doing the "computing".

  16. Re:No Kidding? on Law Professor Examines SCO Case · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If I could spell more than 15 words in the english language correctly, I'd create an article and submit it....It's like watching the Iraqi Information Minister.

    Hmm, GW Bush appears to be lurking again.

  17. Isn't this topic a little childish? on Comics On The Net - A Business Primer · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Next thing you know, slashdot will have articles on Spider-man or science fiction book reviews.

    Then Longhorn must be to compensate.

  19. Re:Understatement on Microsoft Steps Up Anti-Spam Efforts · · Score: 5, Funny

    Like almost everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it offering to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It's ridiculous.

    Bill Gates


    You notice he didn't complain about the offers to increase the size of his penis.

    That's not so ridiculous, hmmm lil' Billy?

  21. Re:Enough! on Industry Leaders Discuss Java Status Quo · · Score: 3, Funny

    Java Script, Java Beans, Java Swing, Java Status Quo!? Enough!

    I thought this sounded familiar. It's the lyrics from that old Ink Spots song. Java Jive.

    Java script,
    Java bean,
    Java jive,
    Java swing
    Java status quo?
    Java gotta go!
    Go cat go!

  22. I, too on Speed of Gravity Experiment Challenged · · Score: -1, Troll

    I, too, think the concept of "gravity speed" is ridiculous. Supposedly, it is the same as the speed of light, and nothing can go faster than that, right?

    Try this simple demonstration:
    Go to the roof of a building (or water tower if you live in Michigan). Simultaneously drop and throw directly down two tennis balls, one yellow, one white. You may use plums if your bastard cousin has stolen your tennis balls again.

    See what happens? The ball you throw lands first! You're not claiming you can throw faster than the speed of light, are you?

  25. Re:Ah well... on Netflix Granted Patent on DVD Subscription Rentals · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wal-mart doesn't care. They just patented a system of placing items in a large building that has wrinkled, lonely people at the doors and pizza-faced teenagers at cash registers. This combination has the remarkable ability to attract large-rumped 35 year-olds to buy Pringles and t-shirts.
