  1. Re:Uh... okay on Linspire CEO dispels Linspire Linux Myths · · Score: 2, Interesting
    There's, like, ninety-six linux distributions.
    Actually, according to Wikipedia it's closer to 300. That doesn't include abandoned distributions or distributions being developed/used without the intent to publicly distribute (i.e. companies, military, the occasional linux user)
  2. Yes, but... on Robots Ride Camels in Kuwait · · Score: 1

    These camels actually have CO2 emissions and thus are not as good as hydrogen-fueled camels!

  3. No-brainer on Mount St. Helens Eruption Baffles Scientists · · Score: 5, Funny
    scientists cannot determine from where it is coming anymore.


    Uhhh... the earth?
  4. Obligatory Mallrats Quote on Superman 'Too Big' for the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    "Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child?"

    "Sure, why not?"

    "He's an alien for Christ sake! His kryptonian biological makeup is enhanced by Earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan, the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom . . . that would kill them."

  5. Scott Adams quote... on Journey Towards The Center of the Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    (From the Dilbert Future or the Dilbert Principle) I remember reading something along the lines of, "If you drill a hole in the earth, all the gravity would escape!" Better send the Japanese a copy!

  6. Re:How 'bout some real sugar on Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda · · Score: 1

    Afri-Cola has 240mg of caffeine last I heard, and is made with real sugar and mineral water.

  7. Re:Hey coppers! on Throwable WiFi Camera · · Score: 1

    For those of you who don't get it, this is a reference to the Thief game series (Thief 2 in particular.) The main character's eye was plucked out in the original Thief and eventually recieved a bionic replacement from a friend. Thief 2 let you use a throwable camera that lets you see through the camera with your eye. I think Thief 3 (Deadly Shadows) didn't include the camera but instead just let you zoom in/out with it.

  8. Re:Each Protocol Has Its Good Points on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    Correction. MSN and AIM also have the Invisibility feature. In AIM you can still talk to people while invisible, but you can't in MSN.

  9. Re:Whether you're a geek or not... on Have Geeks Gone Mainstream? · · Score: 2, Informative

    A shirt saying "Vote for Pedro" in retro font comes straight from the movie "Napoleon Dynamite". Napoleon (the geek) is seen wearing it at different parts throughout the last 2/3 of the movie, trying to help a new student win a high school student election against one of the school's superfriends/attention whores.

  10. Re:Schools react harshly to protesting students on Court Finds For Student In Web FOS Case · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot. Abstinence is involuntary.

  11. Re:bah on Nestle Patents Coffee Beer · · Score: 1

    Contrary to popular thought, some of the best beer out there is American. Arrogant Bastard Ale and Storm King Stout, anybody?

  12. This could be taken to an extreme... on Remote Control for Humans? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I mean just wait till the BSDM community gets hold of this!

  13. Obligatory Monty Python Quote... on Violating A Patent As Moral Choice · · Score: 5, Funny
    It has also now spread to Europe, with the latest possible case reported in an imported parrot in the UK.


    No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, isn't it, eh? Beautiful plumage!
  14. Re:Isn't Estonia that "fake country" in Dilbert? on Estonian Internet Voting Called a Success · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No, that country is called Elbonia. Scott Adams created it to avoid making fun of any particular country.

  15. Did anyone read that as... on Estonian Internet Voting Called a Success · · Score: 1

    "Elbonian Internet Voting" the first time you saw it? Just wait till you try to find it on a map!

  16. Yes, but... on Army Eyes Anti-Sniper Robot · · Score: 1

    Will it get rid of those pesky AWPers?

  17. Wrong site? on Berners-Lee Says Internet Will Make Kids Creative · · Score: 1
    (if you need explanation, you're reading the wrong site)


    Of course! You should be reading this site instead for 5 minutes... and go back to reading /.
  18. Re:Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I don't think this particular MP3 player was made for carrying in your pocket. A lanyard works just fine and probably looks better too.

  19. Re:Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1
    What you you rather carry in your pocket, a SQUARE


    I believe it's called a CUBE.
  20. superman vs... on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is it just me or does the concept of two megacorporations battling it out remind you of when you used to argue with your friends over "Who would win a fight? Superman or Batman?"

    (Of course many of us true geeks know the answer to that one)

  21. Does that include... on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 1

    the spyware that might already be included on the new computer? After all, Dell tech support isn't allowed to tell you how to remove it, right? Are there any other companies following this rule too?

  22. Re:Maybe 4 bombs on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1
    So far from reducing the hot spots that breed terrorism , invading Iraq and removing Saddam has actually increased the number of countries the terrorists could shelter in.


    I suppose his "charitable" donations of $10,000-$25,000 to the families of suicide bombers supports this argument? I'm sure he would dedicate his life to fighting terror across the middle-east too, but he was probably just too busy gassing kurds and... writing checks.
  23. Craig's List on Shopping Online · · Score: 1

    http://craigslist.org/ is my personal favorite. You can even buy gift cards for less than they're worth!

  24. Re:Just had to be.... on The Neuron Drive · · Score: 1

    What, would you rather have it be an IBM "DeathStar"?

  25. What? on How to Become A Real-World Superhero · · Score: 5, Funny
    Batman isn't from outer space and wasn't born with a mutant gene


    Also, Batman isn't real.
