  1. Presumably we'll find tons on Tiny Satellite Set To Hunt Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I'd be surprised if there was not a shocking number of lethal-to-all-life-on-earth sized rocks that almost hit us on a regular basis.

  2. Does it work in smaller doses? on Drug Reverses Retardation In Mice · · Score: 3, Funny

    How many would you have to take before you can correctly pronounce "nuclear"? Because I can think of at least one really important person who needs to learn that already.

  3. Re:Slashdot can finally be what it wants on ICANN Board Approves Wide Expansion of TLDs · · Score: 1

    don't you mean slash.dot?

  4. Re:There will be some good from this. on ICANN Board Approves Wide Expansion of TLDs · · Score: 0

    if that's the case, then let it be known that i call joemama.sucks, angiedaddy.sucks/too, etc.

  5. He didn't say to not sell it on Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny

    q: How do you make a billion dollars?

    a: no matter who complains about how crappy the new version of your product is, force its purchase onto your captive audience anyhow. Yay!

  6. Re:"The oceans were full..." on The World's 10 Dirtiest Cities · · Score: 1

    Definitely, at least with respect to the closer you get to NYC. Have you seen the epic trash piles coming out of the lincoln tunnel?

  7. EPA gives white house the finger on White House Refused To Open Unwelcome EPA E-Mail · · Score: 1

    The EPA, after hearing about this, decided to photoshop the washington monument into a giant middle finger.
    "The dimensions of the middle finger we wanted to use were just astronomically large, so we had to improvise", the EPA was quoted as saying earlier today. The American public is apparently fashioning a similarly giant boot to kick the current administration out with in a few months.

  8. 3d accelerometers, gesture calls? on Openmoko's Open Source Phone Goes Mass-Market · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can you set up the 3d accelerometers to do gesture-based calling? Because I can think of a few gestures I'd like to associate with some jerks I have to call on a regular basis.

  9. Re:The explanation is obvious on Terminal Chaos · · Score: 1

    light rail... re-modernizing cities... oh noooo!
    (all the republicans jump out the window)

  10. Let's keep the scientific method on Google Begat the End of the Scientific Method? · · Score: 1

    After all, you never know when you need to prove that a supposed "piece of the cross" is in fact from the corner of some jerk's 20th century pine desk.

  11. That's plausible on Google Sued for $1B Over Outlook Migration Tool · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I mean it only makes sense that the large company employing the best engineers in the world would risk everything to steal a product they could write in a day, right?

  12. Re:everything programmers should know about C++? on Bjarne Stroustrup Reveals All On C++ · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, he is apparently very good at refactoring.

  13. That's easy! on How to Save Mac OS X From Malware · · Score: 1

    Just get a ma.. er, switch to lin... wait, what?

  14. Re:And the asshole handled it without gloves??? on Lego Secret Vault Contains All Sets In History · · Score: 1

    I had a Lego Space Galaxy Explorer, but I didn't even know it until I saw the box in this picture, and I remembered building the damned thing. It looks easy now but I remember it being pretty hard, which is a testament to how long ago it really was... way cool. I bet I can finally get the missing satellite dish pieces to my lego moon set in there!

  15. bill gates reference on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1, Insightful

    1. bill gates doesn't work in IT, he was the CEO of a huge company, which couldn't be less related to IT.

    2. bill gates is worth billions of dollars. There's nothing boring about having billions of dollars.

    3. IT jobs are boring but they beat the crap out of day labor, warehouse, etc. in about every way... so I would seriously consider how much work you think a job should be before you turn down an IT job.

  16. New clippy quotes on Fastest-Ever Windows HPC Cluster · · Score: 4, Funny

    "It looks like you're breaking into the top 25 fastest supercomputers. Would you like me to fix that?"

  17. Re:Well, two things come to mind on Man Selling His Life On eBay · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can tell you why his wife left for free right now...

    "hey honey, I decided to sell my life on ebay!"

    slam pitpatpitpat screeech vrooom! and there she goes.

  18. And to think... on Student Faces 38 Years In Prison For Hacking Grades · · Score: 1

    All he had to do was write the answers on his arm or copy off the kid next to him, and he could've cheated his way to A's just like everyone else does with zero consequences.

  19. That's nothing... on Fastest-Ever Flashgun Captures Image of Light Wave · · Score: 1

    I have a flashlight that will shoot a beam out in 1 nottasecond. Also, imagine the stop-motion sports photos you could get with 80-attosecond film speed!

  20. Re:Secret was scamming, stealing, working hard on Bill Gates Reveals Secret of Microsoft's Success · · Score: 1

    0. Do whatever it takes to get into a monopoly position.
    1. Generate an insane amount of money from being a monopoly.
    2. Profit!

  21. Best quote FTA on Mark Zuckerberg, Inventor · · Score: 1

    Zuckerberg is a "Nietzschean superdork"! Sounds sweet, where do I sign up to become one of those? Oh wait, I have to make a site where I game people's personal info to advertisers and profit from their disclosures? On second thought, I'll pass.

  22. The other 2 out of 3 on 1 In 3 Sysadmins Snoop On Colleagues · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The other 2 know better than to out themselves as snoops on any kind of survey... I mean what is the guarantee that the survey wasn't a snoop by the employer to catch "honest spies"?

  23. Re:Not a thief on Confessions of a Wi-Fi Thief · · Score: 1

    Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  24. Re:Seriously, WTF? on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    I dunno, perpetual motion sounds pretty damned great compared to nuclear. I heard something about it being impossible in school, though.

  25. Re:That's the oldest? on Oldest Computer Music Unveiled · · Score: 1

    you're right, I meant -16336... it's been a long time since I used that. If you loop it, it's the most annoying thing ever!
