  1. limerick on Escher Paintings with Lego Bricks · · Score: 5, Funny

    There once was a man named D. Shiu
    Whose work is now being viewed.
    His page will be slashed
    Hashed dashed and mashed
    Linked from slashdot; to his page: adieu.

  2. Re:haiku on EU Considering Another MS Antitrust Suit · · Score: 1

    In a legal case
    the defendant must complain
    or it is pointless.

  3. haiku on EU Considering Another MS Antitrust Suit · · Score: 4, Funny
    True, I hate MS
    still, the EU is not right
    to try to fight them

    If no complaint has
    been raised by MS victims
    who're they to fight?

    Arbitrarily
    picking fights over all things
    is not the best plan.

  4. Re:Contray to popular belief.. on Total Solar Eclipse at Ceduna, South Australia · · Score: 3, Funny
    Haiku.

    It still seems stupid
    to stare at the sun, whether
    it's eclipsed or not.

  5. haiku on Total Solar Eclipse at Ceduna, South Australia · · Score: 1

    Is it not silly
    to create a camp city
    to watch an eclipse?

  6. haiku on Reverse Engineering Win32 Trojans on Linux · · Score: 0, Redundant

    We are 1337 h4x0rs.
    Reverse engineering
    trojans like crazy.

  7. haiku on Radio Waves Employed in Space Construction · · Score: 1

    The power of sound
    Fusing debris into more
    Truly, such is truth.

  8. Re:Creepy... on Book on NR-1 · · Score: 1

    A haiku
    You would be correct
    About most nuclear boats
    But not for this one.

  9. Whatever on Intel Releases "Fastest Chip Ever" · · Score: 1
    Fastest. Chip. Evar.

    Really though, who cares? What exactly can this do that the next to fastest chip ever can't? In a few days intel will release the new fastest chip ever, and life goes on. Does this really need to be on the front page?

  10. Principia? on Newton's "Principia" stolen · · Score: 0

    Wall sonny, when I was a chillun we didn't stand for none of this "Perrrincipia" nonsense. I don't hold no truck with none of this high-falutin' Neewtonian physics. In my day we didn't need none of your so called "gravytational constant" or your "three laws of motion." Heck, we didn't but barely have the wheel, and by golly, that was good enough for us! You kids nowadays are so dad gum spoiled, going and crying to yo mommy whenever someone takes your precious book. It ain't nothing but revolting, that's what.

  11. Re:Next week on Artist Creates Mac Shrine · · Score: 3, Funny

    Microsoft shrine? Speaking of satanic cults...

  12. Is this good? on Sensors Gone Wild · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Eventually large swaths of the earth will communicate with the digital realm using millions of miniature sensors.
    Sounds like 1984 to me...the privacy issues here are a serious concern.
  13. 20 years... on GNU/Hurd Delayed To Fix Disk Size, Serial I/O Limitations · · Score: 1

    Sigh. Now we see where the enlightenment team gets its inspiration.

  14. Conspiracy theory! on Open Source More Expensive In the Long Run? · · Score: 1
    I just thought it was kind of strange that the latest microsoft strategy document says
    Microsoft should avoid criticizing OSS and Linux directly, continue to develop and aim to eventually win the TCO argument
    . And lo, the same day a post appears on slashdot explaining why the average TCO is higher for open source programs. Fnord.
  15. Re:Some stuff on Microsoft Alternative in Extremadura, Spain · · Score: 2, Funny

    Microsoft doesn't have to kill the puppy after a few years, it explodes every other day and you have to pick up the pieces and glue them back together.

  16. Re:pretty impressive- learned from AOL? on Microsoft Alternative in Extremadura, Spain · · Score: 1

    They switched to linux so they're good but they're like AOL so they're bad? But...but...but...*kaboom!*

  17. More real life lesson on The Moral Pathology of Vice City · · Score: 5, Funny

    And of course, in real life I get points every time I run someone over!

  18. Re:More and more.... on Could CDRW Disks Replace Videotapes? · · Score: 1

    Obviously by bypassing legal conventional methods of recording tv shows for PERSONAL USE ONLY this user is attempting to subvert the industry and bankrupt the poor television actors! I feel that this must be stopped. What is America coming to, with people recording television shows onto CD-RW's?!?!?!? /sarcasm

  19. At least it's not on Tux Vs Clippy - New XBox Game · · Score: 0

    Emacs vs. VI... *ducks

  20. Re:Slashdotted on Integrated 3D Graphics Motherboard Round-Up · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should build a new feature into apache-Slashdot Effect Guard.

  21. Re:Don't you know who's really using this?!?!?!? on InvisibleNet Presents IIP · · Score: 1

    Yumm....babies!

  22. Re:OOORAAH! on BT Loses Case Over Hyperlink Patent · · Score: 1

    Yes, this is offtopic, but in a society that is based on an efficient government and court system, why do we hate the people responsible for carrying it out, namely lawyers and politicians? The fact that the judge ruled against BT shouldn't really come as that much of a surprise, given that the suit is fairly obviously STUPID.

  23. Re:Usability a curse.. on Toilet Paper Algorithms · · Score: 1

    If people start to disregard the "you empty it, you replace it" rule, who knows how destabilized society as a whole may become! Is it really worth the risk to analyze toilet paper replacement? We must not allow technology to become a threat!

  24. Re:Slashdot - Guilty of Murder on N.Y. Times Magazine Chats With ALICE Bot Creator · · Score: 1

    I would think her mother would be ELIZA....hmm.

  25. Re:The Sixth Harry Potter book soon to follow... on Bogus Harry Potter Book In China · · Score: 1

    Since it's Chinese, "Harry Potter and Chairman Jiang Ward Off the Imperialist Dogs" was more what I was thinking of.
