  1. logic? on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Trailer · · Score: 3, Funny

    complaining about a low download speed on slashdot is certainly the best way to improve it...

  2. Re:What I want to know on Hic Hic Hooray: Hiccups Explained · · Score: 1

    yawning coordinates people's scedules. if someone is tired, it's good for the rest of the group to get tired, too, so everybody goes to bed at about the same time.

  3. eight authoritarian countries on Open Networks, Closed Regimes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    they forgot the US

  4. Re:Responsibility of the ISP on More Info on the October 2002 DNS Attacks · · Score: 1

    oh my god, he said proactive. It's an Andersen Consulting (sorry: Accenture) mole on slashdot.

  5. how free is free? on Supreme Court Takes Nike Free Speech Case · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Great to see, that slashdot anti-capitalism beats slashdot information-wants-to-be-free-sentiments anytime.

    The point is not wether we like Nike or not. It should not even be wether Nike wants to sell stuff or not. The problem is: once "commercial" speech looses its freedom, you get a really big problem deciding what "commercial" means.

    If I say that Bush is gay, is that a commercial statement? Maybe I'm selling pink suits in Bush's size. Does that make it commercial? The point is: you don't want a court to decide what is commercial and what is not.

  6. Could this be part of the elusive 'dark matter' on Ring Of Stars Found Around Milky Way · · Score: 0, Troll

    Could this be part of the elusive 'dark matter' talked about so much lately? No. Stupid Question. Go to jail. To not pass go. Do not collect 400$

  7. freedon vs. protection on GTA and Rating of Video Games · · Score: 1

    It's fundamentally a clash between two fundamental rights: the freedom (of art, commerce, speech or whatever) and protection against harm.
    To decide which is more important is difficult.

  8. amazon on Discovering New Music? · · Score: 1

    use amazons people who bought this cd also bought... you can also enter & rate some cds (or other products, of course), and it uses that to profile you and make suggestions. Also interesting what people who like your music read or wear :-)

  9. Re:Do we understand enough? on Should We Change the Weather Even If We Can? · · Score: 1

    Those of you that believe in mind control: please raise my arm.

  10. pictures on Stealth Force Beta · · Score: 0, Troll

    look at the pictures. These guys probably run a linux user group today

  11. again? on Indian Government Moves to Let Linux In · · Score: 1

    *yawn*, these Linux in india stories remind me of my business 105 class: inflation

  12. Re:Dark Energy on Top 10 Unsolved Space Mysteries · · Score: 1

    actually, gravity is the weakest force.

  13. legs on First Human Clone Born? · · Score: 0

    I hope it has legs, or did they clone a WWII veteran?

  14. duke nukem on RPG Codex - Articles On Video Game Design · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    the most important thing for an rpg is ammunition.
    you know, when 6 aliens are coming at you from all sides, you dont wanna run out of it.

  15. cloning on Stanford Jumps Into Cloning Fray · · Score: 4, Funny

    cloning, nature's way of saying: imagine a beowulf cluster of yourself!

  16. slashdot on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 1

    old news for nerds, stuff that bill gates wrote 6 years ago...

  17. Herg� on Spielberg to Produce Live-Action Tintin Movie(s) · · Score: 1

    Actually, the writer, Hergé pretty much invented comics. The early Tintins had the spoken text in squares at the bottom of each picture. Then, there is that thick book, where Tintin first was the character he then became in the series later. It was a lot less funny but more political than the later comics. He was captured by the russians during the time of the october revolution if i remember correctly. Oh, and it was black&white only, no colors. See if you can find that somewhere, i think it is a classic work of art.

  18. Re:I was "THAT guy" on Real PDA Wristwatch · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't think solar panels close to the body of a _real_ geek would work

  19. in related news... on Science Askew · · Score: 1

    a boeing 747 crashed at cemetery in central Paris. Until now, 5680 could only be recovered dead.

  20. Neanderthals? like me? on The Neanderthal's Necklace · · Score: 5, Funny

    I actually live in a town in Germany to which the "Neanderthal" (it's a valley) belongs. So, technically, I'm a Neanderthal.
