  1. It was my first on 486 Turns 15 Years Old · · Score: 5, Funny

    I remember watching my brother show me his 386 with sound. Dr. Sbiatso and all that. It so blew me away that I saved every dime and got a 486 with a video capture card, sound card, modem, blah blah blah. Cost me $3,500 For two years, every almost waking spare moment I had was spent on that machine.

    That experience made me what I am today. A Slashdot geek with an old 486.

  2. Re:Only on slashdot on Metamath! The Quest for Omega · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've been outnerded.

    Man, I thought I was a dork, but I stand humbled in the presence of a math book reviewer. I thought my star trek fanzine and degree in robotics had me prepared, but in one swift book review, all my nerdly accomplishments are like ashes in the wind.

  3. Re:Does anyone still listen to radio? on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seriously...who listens to the rubbish that passes for (music) radio these days?

    Well excuse me, Captain Pompousolous. No, of course none of the uber Slashdot readers would ever actually listen to RADIO.

    If you're not streaming indie og's on your 802.11g network to your home-built audio appliance, well, you're just a SHEEP. baaa baa baa

    As a matter of fact, I feel so strongly about this, I'm going to refuse to actually get a life, and instead will spend all day in my mom's basement. That will show those record companies.

  4. Re:But what about... on 'Cut and Paste' Is Out, 'Pick and Drop' Is In · · Score: 1

    Ah, for the days of sitting in Dad's lap, watching HeeHaw, admiring the cowgirls.

    "..watching HeeHaw"? My dad and I did the same thing, but we called it "spanking Monkey".

  5. Re:The question on 'Cut and Paste' Is Out, 'Pick and Drop' Is In · · Score: 1

    You can pick your nose, and you can drop your files to your friend, but you can't pick and drop your friends and put a file in your nose.

    Or someting like that. It's really early.

  6. I don't know... sounds risky on Open Access To Scientific Literature: Can It Work? · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you have all this scientific information just kind of floating around, you have the very real danger of contaminating political agendas.

  7. I agree with Bernie on Looking Into The Power Architecture Future · · Score: 5, Funny

    Clock speed is good, but what I look for in a processor is that ephemeral processor attitude. Can I show it off to friends? Will my mother thinkk it's cute, or is it a little ... dangerous? I want a processor that says something about me. That I'm a rebel that won't take no for an answer. That I'm cool without trying. If a processor can't do that for me, well I'm just not interested.

  8. This is counterproductive on Heat Insulators for Laptops · · Score: 5, Funny

    A hot computer on my lap is the only action I get.

  9. Re:Mechanical Computers on Was Zuse's Z3 the First Programmable Computer? · · Score: 1

    Oh, you must be referring to the Pneumatic Integrating Summarizing System Differentiator. (PISSeD) It is cool. Messy, but cool.

  10. Look on the bright side on SCO and Baystar Strike a Deal · · Score: 5, Funny

    SCO let them run Linux without having to pay that licensing fee.

  11. This makes me hungry on "Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years · · Score: 1

    mmmmm, buffalo spam.

  12. on irc on The Economics of Executing Virus Writers · · Score: 2

    SK: d00d, I just got sentenced to death.
    l4Mer: sux0r
    SK: At least I'm going to die for something important.
    l4Mer: I'll sell you one of my lives. PayPal me.

  13. here's what I do on Attitudes in IT - Mediocrity Wins? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How have you dealt with such clients who fail to see the difference between a shoddy rush job and real quality?

    Well, what I always do is
    1. pout
    2. kick my dog
    3. drink
    4. be curt and surly to my wife
    5. think about whining to Slashdot

  14. I like it on The RIAA's Push for an Audio Broadcast Flag · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe some can't tell the difference with their lousy computer speakers, but to a real audiophile, music sounds much better with a broadcast flag.

    It's like salt for music. You don't have to have it, it's just better with it.

  15. Let the predictable comments begin on Weblog System Features Compared · · Score: 5, Funny

    "The best weblogging system is one that doesn't let lame people talk about themselves. Search enginges should ignore them too."

    "Hey don't be so stuck up. I blog for fun. If you don't want to read it, don't. Besides, lots of people like reading about me massaging my mom's feet."

  16. An album is not 1 pound! on Napster Launches UK Music Service · · Score: 3, Funny

    This article is just full of errors. I have lots of albums, and NONE of them weigh more than a pound.

  17. Those Indianans are ruining us! on Indiana First With Computerized Grading · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lets just outsource all our test grading to Indiana too.

  18. Re:Ogg! on 2nd Multi-Format 128kbps Public Listening Test · · Score: 1

    Jeopardy question:

    What is Hellen Keller's favorite animal?

  19. Excel clone? Needs a cool name. on Excel Clone for Linux Now in Beta · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've got just the name. XXXcell

    That way it will get distributed on the P2P networks a lot faster.

  20. My wife, Connie Chung on The Power of Persuasion · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  21. Been there, done that. on Hektor: the Graffiti Robot · · Score: 3, Funny

    Further investigation reveals that the Democrats were using Usenet for their correspondence.

  24. Encourage his interest! on Teaching Kids to Make Games? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It is very important to use the carrot instead of the stick approach. First, get him the most advanced workstation you can afford as well as a 21" monitor minimum. Make sure he takes plenty of breaks, and when he does well, reward him with something nice like a trip to the zoo or a soothing massage. Above all, have fun TOGETHER!
