  1. Heh on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    As a student in a Cobb high school, I'm amused.

    we just got back from our homogenized holiday break. So, we just started a new semester. The last of Cobb's highschools just switched over to 'block' schedules, meaning we just got four new classes for this semester...They juuust finished getting textbooks out today, looks like they've gotta take all these back. =)

  2. Re:Lets start the fighting now. on Unifying Linux Package Management · · Score: 1

    You're a few years late for that argument. Try Debian, Gentoo, or Arch. Heck, even Slackware has several network-aware package managers now. (Slacktool and slack-apt)

  3. Eh? on Instant Messaging Goes Graphical · · Score: 4, Insightful
  4. Of course on Soyuz Damage May Delay Space Station Trip · · Score: 5, Funny

    The real question we, as geeks, should be posing on Slashdot is: Where can I get some of these exploding bolts?

  5. Re:the problem is demographic on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 1

    And think of all the energy we could reap from those bodies!

    /Tank Girl nazi?

  6. Priest, eh? on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 1

    "Keep the sending and receiving end looking straight. We have one friend who wears a priest's outfit to ship and receive dope. In fact, every time we see nuns or priests on the street, we assume they're outlaws just on their way to the next deal or bombing." -- Steal This Book

    No disrespect meant towards (MOST) priests, just the first thing that came to mind...

  7. Re:Female spectators were allowed on Olympians Banned From Blogging · · Score: 1

    Actually, female spectators were not allowed to watch any of the games on Mount Olympus, which is where all of the early games were held.

  8. Never been camping? on Japanese Deploy Solar Sail · · Score: 1

    One rule I've observed is that it doesn't matter WHAT you strap to your flashlight, or how many spares you bring, by the end of the week you WILL be in the dark.

  9. Where am I? on NTSB Recommends Black Boxes For All Cars · · Score: -1

    You're in a Johnnycab!

  10. Re:windows on More On Silent Supersonic Planes · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not to mention, you can't stick your arm out the window when you're cruisin'.

  11. Re:Jump-Ins on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 1

    "and then it's hilarious?"

  12. Re:Anyone... on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 1

    Isn't it like 1PM in Houston right now? Would be kinda hard to see...

  13. Jump-Ins on Guerrilla Drive-Ins · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds similar to what I do when I throw a party. Set up a large screen in my backyard, directly behind an old trampoline, and watch it whilst hanging out and bouncing around with friends. Trampolines are only mildly less fun with over a dozen people.

  14. Re:$12 Walkie Talkies on 1 Kilometer Bluetooth Link to Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    I'm not licensed for HAM nor am I an RC enthusiast, but I'm pretty sure those radioshack walkie talkies are on unlicensed CB frequencies, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell them as if they didn't require any license at all.

  15. Re:Expected fallout from the Beowulf takeover on On the Supercomputer Technology Crisis · · Score: 1

    Quite frankly, I prefer quanity. Lots and lots of shiney, blinkey things. I don't care how well the work, just so long as there are GOBS of em!

  16. Re:I think is was said somewhere else... on P2P Leaks Surprises · · Score: 3, Funny

    We should be looking at P2P authors for providing a medium that people use to do wrong?

  17. Re:I can think of a couple on Van Allen Questions Human Spaceflight · · Score: 1

    Europa: Not enough solar radiation. Possible damage from Jovian magentic field.

    Oh come on, that'd be the LEAST of our problems...

  18. Re:BlackListing? on RIAA Continues Distributing Dud CDs to Satisfy Settlement · · Score: 1

    I don't know how many execs from fortune 500 corporations eat at McDonalds. Most of them have moved on up to Wendy's.

  19. Re:Why not "Rise of the Sith"? on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    Because there are no female Sith left, and they already did one about Clones. A race can't do any Rising if it can't reproduce.

  20. Re:Family Guy Scene? on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    What do you mean no? I'm not even a Star Wars fan and I know that Luke is Anakin's son.

  21. Re:Slashdotted on eBay Scam Victim Strikes Back · · Score: 2, Funny

    And think we can link that from slashdot?

  22. Re:"Protection schemes?" on RIAA Co-Opts More Universities · · Score: 4, Funny

    They woke up next to the severed heads of their favorite boy band.

  23. The... what now? on BOINC Project to Search for Gravitational Waves · · Score: 4, Funny

    Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory? Who thought up that name? I bet he was responsible for the Illudium Q-Thirty Six Explosive Space Modulator too.

  24. Re:I love FRANCHISE! on Bethesda Licenses Fallout Franchise, To Make Fallout 3 · · Score: 1

    Offtopic (and even logged in so I can take the karma hit!) I know, but I absolutely love your sig.

  25. What I want to know is on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    How many women do you know that read playboy for the articles, and more importantly, what doctor do you go to that have playboys laying around?
