  1. Re:Not on the plane... on More on JSF Laser System · · Score: 2

    A giant "laserbeam." It shall be known as the Alan Parsons Project!

  2. Just a bunch of bugs on New Order of Insect Found · · Score: 2

    Although class insecta has over 1000 identified species, they are still just a bunch of bugs.

  3. Re:amateur rocketetry is irresponsible on Amateur Rocket Launch a Failure; NASA Debuts Shuttle-cam · · Score: 1

    Don't believe that hoax excuse. Martians shot down Mars Climate Orbiter. It's on a news website. They couldn't print it if it wasn't true!

  4. Re:The concept is bogus on State of Online Music: RIAA's Efforts Paying Off · · Score: 2

    The only thing the RIAA is doing well is making consumers so angry that we boycott the recording industry.

  5. It turns out... on Bell Labs fires Hendrik Schon for Data Falsification · · Score: 3

    ...that Hendrik Schon was publishing science-fiction. Bucky Balls! Since he is already a published and widely read writer, he should stay in the field, and write some novels. Maybe he could make the Star Trek transporter seem plausible, or explain the sound in space we hear in movies.

  6. Reminds me of an old joke. on Protons Aren't round · · Score: 2

    They ain't teachin' you nothin' at that damn school. Pie are round! Cornbread are squared.

  7. This scores a 10 on the stupidmeter on Pentium-Based Macs The Future of Apple? · · Score: 1

    A Pentium based Mac would slow down terribly, as Pentiums do not use RISC, and the dinosaur X86 command set would make Macs crash just like a PC. This lame-brained idea scores a 10 on the stupidmeter!

  8. Golden age super villains did this! on Public Domain Superheroes? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why is the site about golden age superheros down? Golden age super villains took it out. I suspect The Terror, Dr. Ironbeard, The Ktulu from Timbuktu and Bulgarian Boogeyman!

  9. Re:Investing 50 million in vaporware on HP to Heavily Support and Invest in .Net · · Score: 2

    Wow! Somebody must have pissed in your Wheaties! By the way, you still didn't explain what .NET is. Since people are still confused about it, I guess it's DOA. If your job depends on .NET being a success, get used to saying, "fries with that." It isn't a question. You are telling them.

  10. Re:I'm waiting for Steve on Ballmer: "We'll Outsmart Open Source" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Microsoft's MVPs were all writing FUD articles about why Windows is the wave of the future, and Linux is just no good, but their computers are all stuck on the blue screen of death. Oh well! They'll all have to reboot before we hear anything from Microsoft's defenders.

  11. Re:lets make a......egyptian? on Pyramid Rover Finds A Third Closed Door · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The / in /. would be more accurate if it leaned to the left. You could go start a website called backslashdot, and spread nazi and country-clublican propaganda if you don't like slashdot, which is not a political website. You right-wingers just can't take it if anyone disagrees with your views.

  12. Investing 50 million in vaporware on HP to Heavily Support and Invest in .Net · · Score: 2

    Can anybody explain just what the hell .Net is, and for that matter, why I need "web services?" It seems to me that HP is investing 50 million in vaporware.

  13. Hollywood shoots itself in the foot. on Directors Counter-Sue Movie Bowdlerizing Company · · Score: 2

    There is obviosly a massive market for "cleaned up" movies, or they wouldn't be selling. Instead selling to this maket, and rolling in the dough, Hollywood is shooting itself in the foot, telling consumers they can't have what they want. This alienates many potential customers. Hollywierd is stupid. I support the fair use and personal property rights of consumers who are buying a video, then paying to have the "naughty bits" removed. I like to see the "naughty bits" myself, but not everyone does. Why don't these hollyweird directors whine and moan when broadcast television edits their films for content? Here is a lesson from Econimics 101. Anything that is demanded will be supplied. Hollywood could have been the ones raking in the bucks from the fretful parents and religious nuts, but now someone else is.

  14. Buffy in space? on Firefly Premieres Tonight · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Firefly will probably be stupid. After all, everyone knows that Star Trek is the real future. Captain Kirk forever, knock-offs never! Beam me up, Scotty.

  15. Re:Plan 9 ?!?!?!? on Passport vs. Plan 9 · · Score: 3, Funny
    More on Plan 9.

    "My friends, can your hearts stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space?"

    "Ah yes, Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal pituitary glands of recent dead."

    "Sometimes in the night when it does get a little lonely I reach over and touch it, then it doesn't seem so lonely anymore."

    "Because all you of Earth are idiots!"

  16. 1984? on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 2

    Apple is working with IBM? I guess Steve Jobs doesn't think IBM is "Big Brother" any more, or maybe he has joined them, and we can now call him "little brother."

  17. Limp Bizkit on Nokia calls Wireless Warchalkers 'Thieves' · · Score: 2

    I did it all for the Nokie. The Nokie, the Nokie, the Nokie. So i'll tell you what to do with that cokie. You can stick it up your..

  18. Re:Well on Nokia calls Wireless Warchalkers 'Thieves' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you take free bandwidth, the terrorists win. It's like giving nucular stuff to Saddam! God Bless Nokia -G. W. Bush

  19. Frankensheep sex on Genetically Engineering Sheep for Larger, Stronger Hindquarters · · Score: 2

    Will these genetically engineered frankensheep still be a good lay for lonely farmers, and fraternity pledges? If not, they can still get goats.

  20. Re:Value-Added on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 2

    Offering perks should sell more CDs whether there is piracy or not. In fact, I don't think piracy ever entered their minds, only marketing. Even if I liked Bon Jovi, this would not be enough to make me stop boycotting the recording industry.

  21. Re:Good Job! on Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Both of Bon Jovi's fans should eat this up!

  22. Send a fax on Handling Email Overload in Congress · · Score: 2

    E-mail to Congressmen and Senators can be lost in the shuffle, or deleted very easily. Send a fax. A hard copy is harder to lose , and harder to ignore.

  23. Re:To be environmentally friendly.... on Toro iMow - A Robotic Mower that Works? · · Score: 2

    Forget the robot, and get a goat.

  24. Re:Because... on Musicians vs. RIAA At USA Today · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Yes I am married. We are partners. I am not her manservant. If your marriage involves slaving for the princess, perhaps this story about a man who divorced his quarrelsome wife, and married a mute will make you feel better. If your marriage will be in trouble if you put your foot down, is it already in trouble.

  25. Re:Because... on Musicians vs. RIAA At USA Today · · Score: 2

    Never sell out your principles. They are truly priceless. Don't buy CDs. If your wife has a problem with that, let her downlaod the song herself. If she is not capable of doing, that isn't your problem, it's hers.
