  1. Re:Why is there a purple octopus on your couch? on Making Stuff Out Of Broken Computer Equipment? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yeah, people who take the time to properly learn and use their country's native language are real dorks. Much like those who learn how to drive, balance a checkbook, how Democrats lie, how taxes work, etc. etc. etc.

  2. The sex and drugs 70's are coming back? on New Lubricant Leads To Faster Hard Drives · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Polyester, lubricants, disco, faster and longer hard driving...?

  3. Re:My favorite use for old hardware... on Making Stuff Out Of Broken Computer Equipment? · · Score: 1

    A good beating. ;P

  4. Stupid Lefty Protest Tactic #ad nauseum on Bikes Against Bush Creator Busted · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It never fails to stupify me at all the really lame, stupid, pointless, and all-around "I'm-a-bitter-lefty-protestor-with-too-much-time-o n-my-minds" tactics lameasses like this come up with. About as stupid as Al Franken's "yell-out" during George Bush's appearance at the RNC.

  5. My favorite use for old hardware... on Making Stuff Out Of Broken Computer Equipment? · · Score: 5, Funny

    is the one they put the printer to in Office Space.

    PC Load Letter?

  6. Re:I wonder... on Video Games Hit The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    I wonder when lameasses will stop hiding behind "Anonymous Coward."

  7. I wonder... on Video Games Hit The Big Screen · · Score: 2, Funny

    if people will sneak camcorders into the theaters to record the games, then release them on the Net.

  8. Re:But... on Video Games Hit The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    They're going to charge $7 to play Far Cry?

  9. Re:Dear Lord on Coral P2P Cache Enters Public Beta · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it'd slash slashdotters' daily sense of accomplishment by half (the other half being posting inana comments)!

  10. Re:Too bad we can't use it on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 2, Funny

    and even then, it'll only support half the features

    You optimist ;P

  11. The mouse reminds me of... on Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse · · Score: 1

    the cycles in Tron.

  12. Another slam at Bob! on Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse · · Score: 1

    hahahha they sure get funnier and funnier each and every time! Why don't you list all your sucessful products?

  13. Read a Banned Book? on Top Banned Books of 2003 · · Score: 1

    No thanks - I really don't care to read Harry Potter, Where's Waldo, nor HOw to Eat Fried Worms. Am I supposed to "read a banned book" to "fight the system", "be a rebel", or other (usually left) nonsense rhetoric?

  14. Re:Avoid oil (almost) entirely on Build Your Own Hybrid-Electric Car? · · Score: 1

    How much?

  15. Re:Pretty foolish on Build Your Own Hybrid-Electric Car? · · Score: 1

    IMHO, if you are truly economically sensitive to gas prices, I suggest that you buy a '94 or '95 Toyota Tercel/Corolla, Ford Escort or Honda Civic. You'll easily get 35-45mpg with these cars and spend a grand total of $3-5k for the whole vehicle.

    He also mentioned he's interested in performance. I don't think 35-45mph will cut it.

  16. Re:Avoid oil (almost) entirely on Build Your Own Hybrid-Electric Car? · · Score: 1

    Wow, Darryl Hannah is an EXPERT in this field???

  17. Re:Avoid oil (almost) entirely on Build Your Own Hybrid-Electric Car? · · Score: 1

    Good point - it's not like we can create more of it, like regular oil. Oh wait...

  18. Marc Andreesen... on Outsourcing is Good for You · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    also thinks outsourcing is "good for you."

  19. Rhetorical Question, Right? on Windows XP To Get Longhorn Technologies · · Score: 1

    If most of the updates will be available for current versions of Windows, what is the incentive to upgrade?

    Uh, for the rest of the updates?

  20. Streamripper and Internet Radio on TiVo-like Application for XM Radio Under Fire · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it have just been easier to use streamripper and found an Internet radio station broadcasting the Blondie concert?

  21. DisC? on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 1

    Never heard of it.

  22. Re:It was supposed to be boring. on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 1

    Nothing exciting happens, and that's the point.

    Um, until you get near Jupiter that is...

  23. Didn't Harrison Ford Hate Blade Runner? on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 1

    I thought I read in an interview somewhere with Harrison Ford that he hated (or didn't like) Blade Runner.

  24. Re:Logan's Run on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 1

    Absolutely - Logan's Run contributed a lot to the Sci-Fi genre. Classic.

  25. Re:2001 sucked. on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 0, Troll

    Clockwork Orange? Sorry, but the only people I know who like that movie almost always take (lots of) drugs before/when watching. I think that movie is pretty much a piece of shit with no redeeming qualities.

    Just another trip into Kubrick's mangled mind, but I think in this case you just needed a little too many drugs to appreciate it. Good for the swinging 60s I'm sure, but I'm just a little too sober for it these days.

    That statement totally applies to Clockwork Orange.
