  1. new .x on .mail Domain To Eliminate Spam? · · Score: 5, Funny

    how about a .stupid for ideas like this? maybe even a .pointlessdiscussions or .useless? i'll be the first to sign up for .stupid and .useless. You'll be able to find my blog on them.

  2. Re:Just imagine the possibilities... on New DVD Burners To Double Capacity · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe for a day - i'm sure Final Fantasy XIV will be a volume of ten dual-layered double-sided holographic cubes. or is that longhorn/office/(insert any MS product name here)?

  3. usb on New DVD Burners To Double Capacity · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't have usb 2.0 or firewire. will this come with a serial adapter?

  4. the devil just threw a snowball at me on AAC Chosen For DVD-ROM Section Of DVD Audio Discs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    a media organization didn't choose wma? holy shit! does this mean i am free to download dvd-a (insert orgazmo joke here) from itunes for a dollar a track? wheee!

  5. right on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 1

    Everyone has a right to say what they wish. They also have the right to change the channel. So change it already, prude.

  6. I submit on UFO Streaks Through Martian sky · · Score: 1

    that it's Halman.

  7. Re:computers on U.S. Home Internet Access up to 75% · · Score: 1

    Is there a non-Internet capable computer out there somewhere hiding behind my abacus?

  8. flash on MSFTs "iPod Killer" Readied for Europe · · Score: 1

    I'd buy it if I could flash it and make it non propietary. Then again, I might have more fun/usability with a low budget laptop for movies on the go and my trusty Neuros for mp3/ogg.

  9. starring: on War of the Worlds Remake · · Score: 3, Funny

    Will Smith as one of the aliens, Gwyneth Paltrow as a microbe, and Sam Rockwell as the president. I, for one, welcome our Hollywood rape-daptorlords.

  10. Re:BSOD on Guinness's World's Smallest Hard Drive Record · · Score: 1

    We'll reformat it, install slack, and throw in Xclock for good measure.

  11. a different upgrade method: on Microsoft Customers Get No Bang for Buck · · Score: 1

    apt-get upgrade

    too bad these people are using:

    apt-cache search upgrade plans that cost money and are full of nonsense

  12. Re:*cue Steve Irwin aussie accent* on A Peek At Script Kiddie Culture · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lemme just git a li'l closah so I can stick me thumb in his arse...there we go!

  13. Re:then... on Building a Large Linux Knowledgebase · · Score: 1

    Either that, or a dark programmer has removed that reference from Google's mighty Hall of Cached Pages, and only a programmer with the most funky of skills and an army of wasp-like minions and their cheaply made robots would be able to do that. Then again, I'm just a stupid little Jedi-in-training with my own cute little light saber that I stole from Johnny Quest.

  14. my question on Move Over Karaoke...Hello Movieoke · · Score: 1

    Will my participation in this movieoke in anyway harm the income of all the countless hands of people involved in the production of a movie? Jack Valenti teaches me to consider these things. He is old and wise beyond all mortal beings. And he'll probably sue my ass for acting out my dream scene from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

  15. blast! on Science of the coin-toss: Bias in Heads-or-Tails · · Score: 2, Funny

    There goes my "randomly" generated PGP key. @%*&!

  16. Re:Want to buy one? on World's Smallest Homebrew RC Unit · · Score: 5, Funny

    To make one 1) take a rectangular piece of paper sized 2 inches by 6 inches 2) from one end cut in three inches down the center, lengthwise 3) fold the resulting flaps back in opposing directions 4) affix a paper clip to the uncut end 5) climb atop the jungle gym 6) release 7) observer with awe and amazement, maybe with gusto

  17. ai on Mind Over Machine · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're talking about reverse engineering the brain - it would be pretty sweet, but one hell of a task to filter through all the activity and figure out what signal meant what, combinations, etc. I'm sure an Altair is all you would need to reverse engineer my brain. You'd flip maybe ten switches, tops.

  18. image on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 1

    Just rip them as images and mount the image as a virtual drive. Then any traditional DVD playback software should do the trick.

  19. curious on Microsoft Beta Includes Built-in Virus Scanner · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the windows AV will have support for macros built right in, for convenience sake, that is ;-) And if it's anything like the built-in firewall, Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro, and the rest of the fellas have very little to fear.

  20. mod my bod on What (non-PC) Hardware Do You Hack? · · Score: 1

    After a tragic accident while chasing the X-prize, I had the capability to become the world's first bionic man. When I upgraded myself to the 2.6 kernel and added the ability to address more than 4 GB of memory, I became better, faster, stronger. Unfortunately, there are no open source drivers available for my robotic penis. Maybe sourceforge or freshmeat can help me out.

  21. now it makes sense on Microsoft Warning Leaked Code Traders · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was wondering why when I tried compiling it, it stopped halfway through and I heard Madonna's voice scream, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

  22. Re:whoa on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 1

    I did not know that! I don't make it down south that much, here or there. There goes my misplaced pride.

  23. Re:My question is.... on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ... when they're soo good at computers?

    Are you kidding that this isn't flamebait? Did you not read the part about code-monkeys? I guess this is Slashdot, so I shouldn't expect so much. The percentage of people over there who are "soo good at computers" is equal to the percentage over here who are "soo good at computers." If you're going to stereotype, at least use a funny one, like Apu.

  24. Re:whoa on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's West Bengal, bro, my home state in India. Last time I went over there, my cousins gave me hell for wearing my favorite red hoodie.

  25. odors on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 1

    I like to smell the the computer first to make sure nothing's blown or burnt out. This is moot if I've seen the part blow up, like the IBM monitor from 1985. Both methods are free and efficient. I also use a laser to diagnose light bulbs that have burned filaments.
