  1. Re:How does this work? on Connecticut Wants to Restrict Social Networking · · Score: 2, Funny
    Ontop of all that, how the F**K are they supposed to get your parents permission?

    Kid: Hey, wanna earn $5?
    Bum: Sure. You want beer or cigarettes?
    Kid: Uh, neither. Can you just verify its OK with you that I use MySpace?
    Bum: MySpace!? I may be a bum but I got morals! Next you'll tell me you read slashdot.

  2. They're Right on 'Gates for President' Group Gives Up · · Score: 4, Funny

    Dogbert is a much better and, in the long run, safer choice. The sooner we elect him the less severe our penalties for waiting will be.

  3. Re:News At 11, Industry Insider Hates Nonconformis on Spore Dev Down On the Wii · · Score: 1
    I wish I hadn't spent the last of my mod points yesterday. You are exactly right. Each medium has to be judged according to what's important for that medium. What defines an "artistic" game is far different than what constitutes art for a painting.

    Although I've never seen him, I can't help but wonder if he looks like a caveman?

  4. Remote Control? on Remote Control To Prevent Aircraft Hijacking · · Score: 1

    Does it come with a mute button so you don't have to listen to the passenger's screams?

  5. Corporate America Triumphs Again on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 5, Funny

    66 huh? So we are expected to believe that it's a coincidence that just 1 year after his pension benefits kick in he suddenly dies. I think not. Just a little too convenient...

  6. Well, duh... on In France, Only Journalists Can Film Violence · · Score: 5, Funny

    How are you supposed to film something you're running away from?

  7. Re:Seriously, so what? on Microsoft Vista, IE7 Banned By U.S. DOT · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not just any Department either. But the one that is specifically taksed with investigating and reducing crashes;-)

  8. Re:Nutshell on Sony Blackballs Blog Over PS3 Rumor · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Big difference.

    Indeed it is. Thanks for the clarification.

  9. Nutshell on Sony Blackballs Blog Over PS3 Rumor · · Score: 3, Funny

    That'd be the difference between on the record and off the record. Now we need only await for the blogosphere's calm and reasoned response.

  10. Re:The only problem I predict... on THQ Announces Warhammer 40K MMOG · · Score: 1

    True, but I also wonder if they are going to go more of the RPG route, or more of the FPS route. MMOG's haven't really interested me to this point, WoW bored me fairly quickly when I tried it, but a 40k shooter sounds awesome. Ironic that a universe predicated on so little hope causes so much amongst its fans...

  11. Re:Shareware on Data Storing Bacteria Could Last Millennia · · Score: 3, Funny

    The best part is, since bacteria never evolve, their DNA will remain unchanged forever;-)

  12. Certainly Explains Congress on Meetings Make You Dumber · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just one loong meeting...

  13. Re:Just because you're ranked #1 on Ohio University Leads U.S. Colleges in File Sharing · · Score: 1

    If you'll esxcuse me I'm going to go slink off in a corner now. At least the correction came from you;-)

  14. Love on A Unique Perspective on a 'Game-Related' Tragedy · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The amazing thing is that she has been with the kid's father for 7 years! That's a long time to be putting up with that kind of grief, counting down the days until they turn 18. At least the other son is doing well.

    I realize that most of the dot, myself included, rarely reads articles before commenting on them. This one is very much worth the read, regardless of whether you intend to comment or not.

  15. Just because you're ranked #1 on Ohio University Leads U.S. Colleges in File Sharing · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Doesn't mean you'll stay there. See you at the RIAA Bowl!

    Sincerely,

  16. Re:Further adaptions on Fuel Tanks Made of Corncob Waste · · Score: 1

    The first one? Nope. But you can go to your preferences and ahutomatically lower any comment modded Funny. You can also Foe most of the culprits (you'd want to add me straight away since 90% of what I post to the main page is an attempt at pun-oriented humor). Finally, if you were being rhetorical, well, I annoy the kids when I answer their rehtorical questions, too;-)

  17. Re:Why not for Windows people? on Minimal Perl for Unix and Linux People · · Score: 1
    Just remembering by boss's jaw drop when he asked me if I could do a quick analysis of a couple thousand lines of logs and asked how long it would take. "10 minutes." And I delivered. He thought I'd have to fire up VS and write some C code.

    <BOFH>Next time tell him an hour, do it in 10 minutes, and have 50 minutes of rrohbeck time.</BOFH> ;-)

  18. Updated Technology on NASA's New Mission to the Moon · · Score: 4, Funny

    The initial estimates are that this time around the mission is going to be far less expensive. One NASA official, who wished to remain anonymous, said, "CGI has really matured to a point where shooting a return to the moon is now viable. Instead of a sandy soundstage we'll simply have our guys in front of a greenscreen. In fact, some of the more optimistic estimates posit that by 2020 we won't even need live bodies in the studio."

  19. Further adaptions on Fuel Tanks Made of Corncob Waste · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps they could use this technology for the tailpipe, too...

  20. Re:Sorry but... on Best & Worst Decisions Starting Companies · · Score: 1

    Not a banner ad but an actual Section. If you ever want to make your brain hurt from too much marketing speak, give it a read.

  21. Indeed. on US Not Getting Money's Worth From ISS · · Score: 1

    It was a bunch of compromises so we could have a presence in space. Its kinda sad that the Hotel in Space dude might actually end up being more successful at it!

  22. Re:Sorry but... on Best & Worst Decisions Starting Companies · · Score: 2, Interesting
    This is blatant advertising.

    Ah, so its the "blatant" part that separates it from the rest of the dot;-) Maybe instead of the Intel section they should just call it Slashmarketing Sponsored by Intel (Until AMD Pays Us More), and then we can throw them all in there.

  23. Re:Complete Text: on Windows Vista: the Missing Manual · · Score: 1

    Sounds like my papers in college;-) Brilliant!

  24. Complete Text: on Windows Vista: the Missing Manual · · Score: 0, Troll
    I know I shouldn't reprint the whole thing in a Slashdot comment, but sometimes information wants to be free:

    Use Linux.

  25. Gentleman's? on Wikipedia Founder Introduces Wiki Magazine Sites · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The real question is, what happens when they enter the market for , ahem, Gentlemen's Magazines? Since they are all read for the articles anyway...
