  1. Re:Just Video on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    At what point do you lock someone up for 10 years? I'd assume it would be a bit more then when she steals about $50.

  2. Uhhh on Savebetamax.org National Call-in Day · · Score: 5, Funny

    Umm the 80's called... they want their format back.

  3. Re: Well....From the TFA- on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    I thought it had something to do with cover sheets on TPS reports.

  4. Re:No, the time is wrong on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have a friend over there in Japan, it was an earthquake.

  5. Its a selling point! on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 1

    Customer: Whats that smell?

    Salesman: Once you get used to the smell of rendered hog fat, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

  6. Re:The Witness Program - Peter Gabriel & Human on Chicago Pondering Huge Camera Network · · Score: 1

    I think it would be a great idea, providing anyone could watch it on the internet as they pleased.

  7. Re:Change of Image for Geeks on New Overtime Rules Have Short Shelf Life · · Score: 1
    in about 20 years...

    ....Al Pacino!

    Whilst I belive Al Pachino's acting is great I find it hard to believe he could pull off a up and comming techworker at the age of 84...
  8. Re:IMHO on New Overtime Rules Have Short Shelf Life · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are at least some tech jobs that can't be outsourced you know.

    No one is going to send their computer overseas to get it fixed, no one likes ringing up an indian call centre to get their mouse working again when they can call someone to come over and fix it.

    Hardware doesn't install itself you know, viruses don't remove themselves.

    Network cables don't magicaly worm their way through walls and networks don't subnet themselves.

    Desktop support can't be sent overseas and without it (ie. strike) companies can go to the shitter pretty quickly, especialy during the next sasser outbreak.

  9. Re:What about banning booting Knoppix CD? on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    No but a BIOS password would probably do the trick.

  10. Re:Picture quality for "28 days" level will suck h on DVD / Hard Drive Recorder With 28-Day Capacity · · Score: 1

    Which is exactly why longplay VCR's never caught on.

  11. Re:Schools aren't about teaching. on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    Three years of Year 7 abuse and graffiti will create a need for a new text book easy enough. Even if the content hasn't changed what good is it if you cant read it?

  12. Re:As a former teacher, I agree--it's not fixable on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    In Australia its not uncommon for 18 year olds to move out, even if their going to a university in the same town. Furthermore a lot of students move in with their significant others right off the bat, there are no "half-way" settings generally and you do mature fast.

  13. Re:Most important feature.. on Samsung Introduces Phone With Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Yeah... I know my phone supports SATA 150. Wouldn't want to waste all that potential speed.

  14. Re:American law != International law on Warez Suspect To Be Extradited, After All · · Score: 1

    Why does America need to hold David Hicks in Guantanimo bay without charge? They say its because Australia doesn't have the laws to prosecute the guy but right there in my passport it says its Illegal for me to fight with a foregn force.

    The reason is simple, America is an asshat.

    Will I be extradited for having had sex...

    This is slashdot... your not fooling anyone you know.
  16. Re:Paying Microsoft.. on On Moving Toward Software Rentals · · Score: 1

    That wouldn't work anyway, I could start word up and pay my 10cents and suspend to ram for months at a time. Now thats good value!

    More likely you'd pay a monthly subscription and then pay the 10 cents on top of that. I have a better idea though. How about I give them the finger *flips bird* and use Open Office.

  17. Re:Old adage.. on Walmart Stored Value Cards Compromised · · Score: 1

    In Melbourne Australia your not allowed to work in construction unless you join the union.

  18. Re:or yet... on New Ad Technology Tracks Consumer Movement · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase an Australian sketch comedy show.

    Can you imagine if the store keeper turned up the "Directness" setting.

    "Get in here ya fat mole!"

    Shocked at that comment he tries to turn up the "Political" option.

    "Fat moles welcome!"

    Your name could be a candidate for the next firefox release.
  20. I know the porn jokes are old but.... on Internet2 Speed Record Broken · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You know, I'd honestly think it would be the coolest thing ever if they actually made their data up entirely of porn. It would be hilarious.

    Have you ever even seen a real nurse?
  25. Re:Advice on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Better yet pretend your an east European exchange student. Speak with the crappest russian accent you can muster and just pretend you don't understand people when they ask you to do something.

    1. American chicks dig Europeans providing you don't have slicked back hair and a gold chain.
    2. You can say the most foul things to girls and if they get all offended pretend like some nearby footballers taught you some new words.
    3. See how long you can keep up the ruse. Surprise everyone on graduation by giving a speech.
