  1. bipedals on War of the Worlds Remake Already Shot Overseas · · Score: 1

    Bipedals?! We don't need no stinking bipedals!

  2. Firefox PR1 on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This roadmap indicates the PR1 for 8/30. Where is it? Hmm...

  3. Stauer EMC2 Analog Atomic Watch on NIST Unveils Chip-scale Atomic Clock · · Score: 1

    Ok, not computed on your wrist, but still...

    Stauer EMC2 Analog Atomic Watch

  4. conflicts? on HP Shelves Virus Throttler Program · · Score: 1

    After unveiling cutting-edge technology for choking off the spread of viruses in March, Hewlett-Packard is quietly shelving the project, citing conflicts with Microsoft's Windows operating system, a company executive says.

    Wait... does the technology conflict with Windows? Or does choking off the spread of viruses conflict with Windows?

    *ba-boom-ching*

  5. Re:Sad news on DoubleClick Hit by DDoS Attack · · Score: 5, Funny

    Was this some other DoS attack besides posting their URL on Slashdot?

  6. my bad.... on Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought Mozilla WAS the response to malware.

  7. wait.... on Alan Kay Decries the State of Computing · · Score: 4, Funny

    you mean it's not about patches and updates?

  8. skins on Daleks Exterminated From New Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    Great! I'll get to work on the skins. I'll start with an Orkin man. Exterminate! Exterminate!

  9. only difference? on Linux vs. Windows: What's The Difference? · · Score: 1

    He says the only current difference is 'how windowing is handled.

    This just illustrates that most people don't understand that the fundamental flaws with Windows exist under the hood.

    Someone needs to write an article explaning those details in layman's terms.

  10. which Python on Win a Part in the Hitchhiker's Guide · · Score: 1

    /usr/bin/python

    sorry... one bad joke deserves another

  11. short duration account on Unplugging Email To Combat Spam · · Score: 1

    registered a new Hotmail account and sent an abuse message about spamming activities from that account

    Perhaps this wasn't a good test. If spammers frequently create temporary disposable accounts to send spam, maybe the account's incredibly short lifespan was the only investigation needed. Well, that and the fact that it was named CannedSpam4ulol@hotmail.com.

  12. reverse mode on Short Text Messages In Mid-Air · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hope it comes with reverse mode so I can wave messages to the car in front of me. think: "Green is for go"

  13. to the tune of yellow submarine... on The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom · · Score: 1

    We all live in a spinning cube of doom!

    (sorry, I'm infatuated with this phrase at the moment)

  14. protect-o on The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom · · Score: 1

    In fact, I was just talking to a coworker earlier about my new product idea. They need sanitary cube covers like those half ply protect-o toilet seat rings to protect the next victim from my blood, sweat and tears.

  15. dude! on The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom · · Score: 5, Funny

    I live in the spinning cube of potential doom. At least that's what my co-workers call it.

  16. first a free browser.... on Sun Says Hardware Will Be Free · · Score: 1

    Getting free hardware with your subscription to Windows kind of smacks of antitrust ala Netscape. What happens to hardware manufacturers that don't sell software or dare to charge for their product? What if I don't want Microsoft controlled hardware with built in DRM?

  17. and... on Slackware Chooses X.org Server Over XFree86 · · Score: 1

    it looks like this changelog fad is finally catching on too!

  18. here! on EIOffice 2004 vs. MS Office 2003 · · Score: 1, Funny

    I've got your lost packet right here! Oh, and there's another one! They're everywhere!

  19. useless on The RIAA's Push for an Audio Broadcast Flag · · Score: 0, Troll

    When will the RIAA realize that they can't control technology that's already been unleashed? What they really need to do is charge us a listening fee for letting the songs enter our ears. If they initiated a per song per ear license then they'd be set. They might as well try cause it'd work just about as well.

  20. forget the nukes. go with turkey parts on Creator of the Gaia Hypothesis Urges Nuclear Power · · Score: 1
  21. nooooooo on SBC CWA Strike Imminent · · Score: 1

    not my best coffee!!! oh wait... wrong SBC. It'd be helpful if acronyms are only used after the names have been stated in full form for the hard of thinking.

  22. Re:Will we see something like this on linux? on Google Experiments With Local Filesystem Search · · Score: 1

    locate is good for a fast prebuilt database of filenames.... I'd maybe recommend htdig for a prebuilt database of contents.

  23. all it did was ring... on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: 1

    I saw this show. All they did was call the phone. Ok, so a ringing phone won't blow up. But I can imagine some cheap ass flip device generating a spark when flipped open.

  24. Re:let's get this out of the way: on DNA Sculpture Constructed with Shopping Carts · · Score: 1

    Yes, obviously they built their webserver out of shopping carts too.

    But the lack of a squeaky, jammed wheel indicates it isn't IIS.

  25. Re:Barcelona on RFID Implants for Spanish Revelers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Woulda get an RFID to not have to remember your computer password? Me neither. Coming to a keyboard near you.
