    1. Buy a bunch of these

    2. Wait for the inevitable resolution of the amendment.

    3. ?????

    4. Profit!

  4. Good Training on Hackers, Meet Microsoft · · Score: 1


    As we used to say in the Army: Good training!

  5. Perl? on I am the Most Spammed Person in the World · · Score: 1


    This worked ok for a while but the spammers were rapidly finding ways around it, and since [SpamAssassin is] written in Perl it was too hard to improve.

  6. Re:What does he have on you, Bill? on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: 1


    Call me crazy, but maybe he just agreed with the pastor based on his religious beliefs. I do not know what church/religion, if any, Mr. Gates subscribes to but maybe he thinks homosexuality is wrong.

    This does not explain why they supported it in the first place, but maybe...

  7. Prior Art Ripoff on Water Spectacular in Episode III? · · Score: 3, Funny


    That is the most blatant example of a prior art rip-off I have even seen...

  8. Rectal Primates on MGM Concedes Some Fair-Use Rights Exist · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    I am in pain...

    There are monkeys flying out of my butt...

  9. I disagree... on **No Title** · · Score: 1

    Dude, did you even RTFA?

  10. I don't get it on Metcalfe's Law Refuted · · Score: 1


    the usefulness, or utility, of a network equals the square of the number of users.

    Ok, so we have about 200 users; thus 200^2 = 40,000. So, the usefulness of our network is 40,000 what? Furlongs?

  11. Imperium Romanum on Fun Tabletop Games? · · Score: 1

  12. I thought Robin was a girl...!?! on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 1


    DISAPPOINTED!

  13. Which Technology To Use on Oakland County to go Wireless · · Score: 1


    How do they know which wireless technology to go with?

    I am sure a project like this will cost a lot of money. How can they be sure to get a return on investment when the technology they decide on can be obsolete in a few years?

  14. The offending message on Google Fires Blogger? · · Score: 1

    The offending message was:

    "they started off the day with a financials presentation, which was actually quite interesting. of course, i understand that they obviously will put a positive spin on everything, but the weight of the raw numbers is undeniable. both google's profits and revenue are growing at an unprecedented rate even while they are increasing their expenditures on capital and human resources. not to mention that google has been primarily focused on the u.s. market and is now turning their full attention to the global marketplace.
    so after the interesting financials, the products team gave presentations reviewing product performance in 2004 and giving sneak peeks of the products we'll unveil in 2005. if you guys thought g**il and google groups were cool, you ain't seen nothing yet!
    "

    Which was replaced with:

    "they started off the day with a financials presentation, then the products team gave presentations reviewing product performance in 2004."

    Linkage

  15. Condom? on Bad Science Awards · · Score: 1


    The magic ingredient was benzocaine, a local anaesthetic, which made the judges' tongues go numb. We didn't even think about trying it on our genitals.

    The fact that they did not have a problem with putting a condom on their tongues is a little worrisome.

  16. Re:Riiight ... on Things To Do Before You Die · · Score: 1


    You know, once you get below, say -50 C, it really does not feel any colder. I live in Alaska and it usually drops down to -50 or -60 F (-45 to -51 C) for a couple of days during the winter. I have been outside in shorts and a t-shirt at that temperature and it was not that bad. Granted, I would not like to remain outside for any lenght of time.

    I once was outside when it was -87 F (-66 C) with the wind chill, and it was not untolerable.

    On a different note, I think it got up to about 90 F in the summaer that year. Thus, I am a member of the 177 club.

  17. Adjunct Faculty on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1


    My side job is as adjunct faculty at my state's university. Most universities have an 'off-site campus' or similar, where they teach evening classes for adults and/or 'regular' students. I find this to be a lot of fun and it pays pretty good. I get about $290.00 per credit taught per month. I usually teach 3 or 6 credits per semester, covering topics such as Intro/Advanced Linux, Windows XP, network security, etc.

  18. Dome A = Bad News on Chinese Team Heading for Coldest Spot on Earth · · Score: 1

    So, they call it Dome A now, eh? Well, I guess that is a more comforting name than the Mountains of Madness.

    I do not think we will see them again...

    Dangit, them rats somehow got back in the walls again. This time I will...<NO CARRIER>

  19. This is not good... on Baby Steps Toward Quantum Computers · · Score: 3, Funny


    Having scientist using words like "spooky" and "weird" cannot be a good thing...

  20. CMDRTACO on Meet Joe Blog · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    www.cmdrtaco.net has been slashdotted.

    Oh, the irony...

  21. It is obvious... on When Lightning Strikes · · Score: 1


    that this was their first mistake:

    The climbers, high on Exum Ridge, were mainly work buddies from the IT department...

  22. That's funny... on The World's Most Dangerous Password · · Score: 0, Redundant


    that is the combination code to my suitcase.

    Coincidence?

  23. I must be one of the lucky few.. on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1


    on Slashdot that has never had any of the horrible system malfuctions in Windows that are regularly written about in here.

    As expected, pretty quickly the registry started accumulating all sorts of rubbish, and the system started exhibiting strange bugs. First Mozilla stopped working; reinstallations, uninstallations, upgrades did not resolve the problem, so I switched to Opera.

    This dude is obviously doing something wrong.

  24. Bugatti Accessory on The Bugatti Veyron · · Score: 2, Funny


    The perfect accessory to the Bugatti

    I am a karma whore.

  25. Three Laws of Robotics on Ask the Robotic Psychiatrist · · Score: 1
