  1. Re:Maybe they don't have money... on Console Makers Scaling Back Their Push For HD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I now have 3 consoles, all purchased or repaired in the last year.
    An NES with Duck Hunt and Super Mario (and 8 other games) ($25).
    A PS One with 5 games ($10)
    And a PS2 with 2 games $40.

    I play on a 13" colour TV, and a 20" Sony TV that I got for free this year when someone moved out and left it as trash.

    And I don't have a wife to supplement my income. HD is for my 25" LCD computer monitor, not TVs. TV is for my friends to pay for, at their places.

  2. Opt out on Google Japan To Help Victims of Street View Abuse · · Score: 4, Funny

    They could just opt out, as The Onion explains how.

    I may need to opt out, as I saw the Google Car south of Moose Jaw as I was driving by. At first I thought it was a car with a bike on top, but then I saw it was a big camera system. I was looking right at it too! And my face has never appeared on the Internet before (while I've been in my car). I'm gravely worried (but not really).

  3. Re:That's fine on Dell Says Re-Imaging HDs a Burden If Word Banned · · Score: 1

    I like this result. Make Dell unhappy with CriminalSoft. They can make a new image with Open Office or crappy Works.

  4. Re:And the news is where? on First Acoustic Black Hole Created · · Score: 1

    And speaking of black holes, I had one for lunch. I put a meat patty and a veggie patty into the same burger. The Meat and the Anti-Meat annihilated each other and I was left with a Black Hole Burger.

  5. bus with bike rack on Your Commuting Costs By Car Vs. Train? · · Score: 1

    In many cities, buses have bike racks on the front so you can bike and ride.

  6. Re:So which is it on Star Trek's Warp Drive Not Impossible · · Score: 4, Funny

    Even my voltmeter works better when I reverse the polarity; instead of -1.5V for a battery it becomes 1.5V.

  7. Re:Getting tired of 4/1 already on TiVo Announces DVR-SuperAdvance · · Score: 1

    In this Post 4/1 World, nothing is the same. Slashdot has stories that you can believe in again, because they are sponsored by the tech gadget of the week.

  8. Re:Take that! :-) on Instant Messaging Vulnerable To New Smiley Attacks · · Score: 1

    Fortunately (-: reverses the :-) infection. (-:

    The trick is getting the infectious smilies and disinfecting smilies into perfect balance. McAfee and Symantec will have products available for that shortly, sure to take your smile away when you pay them for the anti-smile software.

  9. Re:Waste on Yeast-Powered Fuel Cell Feeds On Human Blood · · Score: 2, Funny

    An alcoholic "tape worm" if you will? I picture a micro-Bender drinking all of my beer inside my small intestine.

  10. Re:It's dead, Jim on Star Trek Sequel Already Planned · · Score: 1

    You think transporter accidents are boring? Try having your head coming out of your ass because Scotty was plastered when he beamed you up on April 1!

  11. Re:Post on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    No 600,000UID club? Or three 0s in UID club?

  12. Re:Wow. on Microsoft To Open Retail Stores · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wonder if the chairs will be bolted down?

    They'll sell piles of Zunes, and for the first time two people who both own Zunes will meet in some kind of weird real-life "Social" situation?

  13. Re:Could this be the end of trolling as we know it on Texas Judge Orders Identification of Topix Trolls · · Score: 1

    Actually it's restricted to 53,333 due to FCC regulations even though 56,000 participated.

  14. Re:Not that hard. Harder they fall on The Tech Behind Preventing Airplane Bird Strikes · · Score: 1

    Better yet, experience the inside of a plane hitting the ground, as a Canadian after you've been downed by a bird!

  15. Could this be the end of trolling as we know it? on Texas Judge Orders Identification of Topix Trolls · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Odds are good that the company will turn over the records, and nothing will come of it after that. Can you imagine them going after 170 people at once? I can't, unless they are the RIAA.

  16. Re:Similar experience. on Tales From the Support Crypt · · Score: 1

    After you see this Minesweeper movie, your life will never be the same.

  17. Re:Listen instead on Streaming Election Night Broadcast TV? · · Score: 1

    Good tip, and the networks and cable stations were part of the problem in 2000. Paying for their "service" would be doing America a disservice.

    Michael Moore let CNN, and Fox TV have it in Fahrenheit 9/11. He suggested that it was the erroneous claim from Fox that Bush had beat Gore, that led to other stations in changing their opinion, which turned public opinion in favour of Bush Jr.

  18. Re:Can't say I ever used Twitter on After Domain Squatting, Twitter Squatting · · Score: 1

    Facebook already has a handle on that. Better still, many of the pages are password protected because someone has to be logged in, or a friend to read it. There's no hope of Twitter becoming like that on a grand scale, even though it's possible to lock a Titter profile for friends only.

  19. Re:Platinum-Iridium on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 1

    How about a ring that weighs 1g when worn on the moon? Now that's a geek ring.

  20. Re:Platinum-Iridium on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 4, Funny

    That would be *slightly* inconvenient to wear, but think of the size of her left arm after a few months of wearing it?

  21. two words: on Any Suggestions For a Meaningful Geeky Wedding Band? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Bucky Balls. Nothing says I love you like a ring made out of carcinogenic carbon nano tubes!

    Now in less carcinogenic flavours!

  22. Re:You too can be an armchair scientist. on Scientists Discover Cows Point North · · Score: 3, Funny

    But it does produce delicious veal that flips itself over automatically when cooking.

  23. Re:Bike to work on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    And if more people wore helmets, the death rate would plummet, I'm certain.

    A bike helmet saved my head when a van hit me, and I had no serious injuries aside from a very bruised thigh that needed draining.

  24. Re:Diploma mills on Trees' Leaves Grow At a Cool 70° All Over the World · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't use that M-word around trees. They'll get very nervous hearing that!

  25. Re:S[cp]ammer alert? on Wikipedia's Content Ripped Off More Egregiously Than Usual · · Score: 1

    You took the words out of my mouth!

    Good thing I use Adblock :-)
