  1. Re:100 IP addresses per human being?? on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe your brain is going to start identifying body parts by IP address. If you get a serious neck injury, your brain will start frantically pinging your feet to see if they still respond, stuff like that.

  2. Re:Shredding is for wimps. on Picking Up the Pieces · · Score: 1

    Ha! You'd have to eat 10 bowls of paper to get the fiber I get in one bowl of Colon Blow!

  3. Re:Because... on White House Obfuscates Email · · Score: 1

    Change the start of the e-mail to "Dear Strongbad", and I think you're on to something.

  4. How slow are their connections? on A Search Engine For The Slower Net · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I mean really. I use dial up occasionally, and I can get my search results in 20 seconds instead of 2. What point does it serve emailing your search query off and waiting much longer for the results?

  5. Re:But on The Real Reason for Sending Astronauts into Space · · Score: 1

    Maybe we ought to quit using cars until we can come up with the technology to prevent us from losing 40-50,000 people per year in the United States from car accidents, too.

  6. Re:Hatch on EFF Supporting Home DVD Editing · · Score: 1

    I doubt you would get any senator to change their mind on something just by showing them they have a double standard on some issue.

  7. Re:safe? on Lockheed Martin to Build Nuclear Powered Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    A study just came out saying we face a 50/50 chance of an apocalypse anyway. I'll take your 1 in 60 odds.

  8. Re:Nice... on One-Thumb Keyboard · · Score: 1

    About 10 years ago I learned how to type in Japanese using Japanese WordPerfect for DOS. Granted, I'm just an American who didn't grow up writing Japanese, but even with a full keyboard, getting 10 wpm was about impossible. I was closer to 5 wpm.

  9. Re:Wrigley field? on Putting the TV Broadcast Spectrum to Better Use? · · Score: 1

    Did you know that Chicago now regulates those bleachers and makes the owners pay all sorts of fees and stuff? You can't even sit on top of your house and see the sights without the government wanting a piece of the action.

  10. Re:finally! on Senator Pushes Bill To Limit Anti-Copying Schemes · · Score: 1

    Don't make me get out my munchkin-catching machine.

  11. Re:interesting facts on Kobe beef[OT] on Chicken Run · · Score: 1

    This sounds suspiciously like a Simpsons episode I saw once....

  12. Re:Call me a stick in the mud... on Universal Alphanumeric Postal Code Proposed · · Score: 1

    Have you ever tried to find addresses in parts of Japan when they just do away with the neighborhood section altogether? It would be something like
    Chiba Prefecture
    Funabashi City
    Higashi Funabachi
    Building # 8329

    It really sucked finding a house in one of those cities.

  13. Re:Perpetual motion... on Old Hard Drives = Free Electricity · · Score: 1

    4. ???????
    5. Profit!

  14. Re:Meh, sometimes you look a little TOO deep on The Gospel According to Neo · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sheesh, you're probably one of those people who believe Linux isn't satanic in spite of commands like kill and stuff. :)

  15. Re:Right back at ya on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of what Dave Barry said about rap. It was something to the effect of "It sounds like a bunch of angry men shouting, possibly because the person who was supposed to bring the melody never showed up."

  16. MP3 Rifles? on Slashback: Hatred, Glass, Identification · · Score: 5, Funny

    All my rifles play ogg.

  17. Re:Fastest Slashdot effect in history on Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral · · Score: 1

    "I sense a disturbance in the internet..."

  18. Fastest Slashdot effect in history on Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral · · Score: 1

    No messages even posted yet and I already can't get through. Mirrors, anyone?

  19. Re:first.. on Bombing the Moon for Water · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't buy this crap that we are bombing it for water. We are bombing it for oil, pure and simple.

  20. Re:Mathboy strikes again on Getting Rid of the Disks · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Its 2002 where the hell is my flying car?
    Flying cars don't come out until 2003.

  21. Re:Social Engineering is all but unstoppable on Social Engineering Still Best Way to Crack Security · · Score: 1

    In my job I am visiting the same offices over and over, and no, they do not change their passwords. The same oned they told me three years ago still work fine.

  22. Re:Social Engineering is all but unstoppable on Social Engineering Still Best Way to Crack Security · · Score: 5, Informative

    When I do on-site work, I often have to ask people their passwords. I can't think of one time when anybody refused to tell me. In fact, many make it a point to tell me that they use that password for everything. I still remember most of the passwords, too.

  23. Re:rebates are a total waste of time on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 3, Funny

    1. Buy a bunch of crap.
    2. Cut out rebate form and UPC.
    3. Send everything in.
    4. Wait.
    5. Wait.
    6. Wait.
    7. Complain.
    8. Wait.

  24. Re:Too late Huh? on Would Free Music Sell Cars? · · Score: 1

    Come on. Everybody knows ClearChannel 95.3 is the best.

  25. Re:Sounds fair to me on Users Conned by Cable Con · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, I like to collect artfully done nuclear bombs. Our stupid, oppresive government won't let me do that, either.
