  1. Huh... on Cell Phones Learn to Recognize Their Owners' Faces · · Score: 1
    ...and adapts to changing facial conditions such as winking and smiling
    So does this mean we'll be able to send emoticons in text messages... using our face? Woah, what an age we live in...
  2. This just in... on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    "Paramount hopes to lure it's ailing fan base back to the franchise with the tentatively titled 'Star Trek: Boobs'. Little is known of the planned series, though we do know it involves even longer scrubbing sessions, even tighter outfits, and even bigger boobs. Oh, and time travel, lots of time travel."

  3. Who needs the Quik-E-Mart on Indian Moon Mission to Have Landing Component · · Score: 3, Funny
    "How accurately the impactor will land could be a technological trial for future soft landings"
    In other words, the space equivalent of "thank you, come again"?
  4. Re:Wrong priorities on Indian Moon Mission to Have Landing Component · · Score: 1
    Personally I think space exploration is a worthy cause for mankind and see no wrong in diverting a reasonable level of funding toward it.
    Yeah, with the way things are going presently on this rock of ours, I'm all for hopping the next transport to Tatooine.
  5. A caterpillar is not a worm, right? on Worm Exploit Distributed by Advertising Network · · Score: 1

    Just making an observation about Slashdot's choice of icon images. :)

  6. To be truly like the game... on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...the 'disposable' characters should all be called "Player" and would get 0wned as soon as each firefight commenced. The main actors would then unanimously chime in with "omfg n00b!! r00fles!!!". I wonder... to be truly like the game, should there be characters that shoot themselves in the arse with their own rockets?

  7. Woo hoo! on Ritz Disposable Digital Camera Hacked · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now you won't have to get all embarrassed taking your home-made digital pr0n pictures back to the store for processing!

  8. WOOO WOOOOOO!!! on Traffic Light Switcher Makes Critics See Red · · Score: 1

    This is the perfect item for Bubb Rubb. Now he can fly through traffic lights "WOOO WOOOOOOO'ing" and everyone will just assume it's the paramedics.

  9. Re:Opera's new marketing campaign on Opera Gives That C64 Feel · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, it was Impossible Mission. Man, I wasted so much time on that game. Here's a good site for it:

  10. Opera's new marketing campaign on Opera Gives That C64 Feel · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Try Opera, and stay awhile... staayyy FOREVER!"

  11. Critics have never really "got" Star Trek though on Critics Pan Nemesis · · Score: 1

    I usually find that most movies the mainstream critics pan I actually like... with a few exceptions, like those films that are just so poor that almost *everyone* pans them. I've found that most of the films the critics give five stars are usually some sort of arty-farty "thinkers" movie, and some of those sorts can be quite good, don't get me wrong... but sometimes I just want a nice, sit back in your seat, and watch some starships blow-up movie.

    I haven't seen Nemesis yet (not out down under until the new year), so I'll reserve judgement until then... but I think if most folks are saying it's "better than Insurrection, but not as good as First Contact" I should like it. But I have Two Towers to watch first, and I know that I'm going to enjoy that. ;)

  12. Re:Phlox? on Doctor Phlox on Season 2 of Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Who in their right mind would interview T'Pol when there's Detox Gel?

  13. Re:What I don't understand on New Problem Could Ground Space Shuttle Fleet · · Score: 1

    I like it!! *sends suggestions to NASA

  14. Re:What I don't understand on New Problem Could Ground Space Shuttle Fleet · · Score: 2, Funny

    I blame overcomplexity. They should be slinging folks up there on giant spitballs, or from massive rubber bands. Only two things to go wrong there - you run out of spit, or the band breaks! Simplicity! :D

  15. Never thought I'd see the day... on New Problem Could Ground Space Shuttle Fleet · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    ...but perhaps NASA needs help from the Indians?

  16. Running commentary... on India Plans Its Own Moon Shot · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "...3, 2, 1... and we have lift off of the rocket 'Curry Puff' on route to the Moon... the rocket is following a nice, smooth trajectory, and is due to rendev... wait... wait a minute, the rocket has changed course, I repeat changed course... it is veering downwards... the rocket is now heading towards Pakistan..." etc.

  17. Gee, big surprise there! on Is Linux or Windows Easier To Install? · · Score: 1

    Of course RedHat was faster and easier to install than Windows, otherwise the article wouldn't have appeared on Lunixdot, I mean Slashdot. *rolls eyes

  18. I sure do love it... on Are You A Friend of Gnome? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yep, there's nothing better than good hard GNOME. But then there's KDE as well... it's like having a threesome but it's actually not in my dreams.

  19. I couldn't care less... on Windows 2000 - Nine Months to Live · · Score: 0

    ...as long as my Win2K install keeps on trucking.

    Several times now I have tried to use XP on a day to day basis, and each and every time, it lasts about 24 hours tops before I format the drive in disgust.

    I find it very unstable compared to 2K, and the colours... THE COLOURS! MY EYES! THE GOOGLES DO NOTHING!!! Like a kid with crayons was let loose to design an OS GUI. *shudder*

    Perhaps one day I'll be less of a luser and start using l00nix.

  20. Ransom Love??? on Ransom Love to Focus on UnitedLinux · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sounds like a porn star name.

  21. Ahh, it may be all powerful... on Inside The World's Most Advanced Computer · · Score: 1

    ...but will it run pong? :)
