  1. Re:I have one on Time Warner Cable NYC Begins DVR Distribution · · Score: 1

    Hit the "List" button then use the "C" (Series Manager). Hit the "SEL" (Select) Button and VOILA! there are ALL the options for managing how you want the Series Manager to perform - works like a champ.

  2. T-Shirt Slogan on Last Chance for Slashdot T-Shirt Contest · · Score: 1

    I am design-challenged, you insensitive clod.

    --
    I met two old friends the other day. One is an ex-con who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. The other is a quadruple amputee who grew up *on* the tracks.

  3. No Pants on Wearing a Tie May Cause Blindness! · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have to admit, I truly enjoyed "No Pants Funday" at the office. Oddly enough, the cops called it "Thursday".

  4. Tighter Regulation is Needed on FCC Approves Media Consolidation · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Deregulation of the conglomerates will limit diversity and stifle competition. If the big companies aren't restrained, they will simply push out the smaller competitors.

  5. Bold Measures... on Webcams to Enforce Singapore Quarantine · · Score: 1

    ...need to be taken until we learn more about this disease. It's not like you're in prison. You can lay on your couch naked, watch Jerry Springer and eat a block of cheese as big as a truck battery.

  6. AMD Chip on Sun Considers Opteron · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sun plans to use them in inexpensive blade servers which means they aren't totally abandoning RISC servers.

    You're parked in the dark alone with your girl when she suddenly introduces you to Tammy and Buffy. "Girls Who Name Their Breasts" on the next Geraldo.

  7. SARS - Level 4 on Deus Ex Writer Discusses 'Dangerous Technology' · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    SARS is a very dangerous desease. There are 4 reasons for this.

    1. It is lethal.

    2. It is air-borne.

    3. It comes from a NEW and unknown virus.

    4. NO known cure.

    These four make a very deadly combination. I see the general public take this desease very lightly. The government knows about this but at
    the same time, they don't want to create panic among the public. I wonder what WHO, CDC and USAMRIID are doing about this.

  8. Comparing... on Meteor Over Midwest · · Score: 1

    So why do astronomers always compare the size of meteors to Volkswagen bugs?"

    I've always wondered why tumours are always compared to fruit (grapefruit, melon, etc) and hail is always compared to sporting equipment (golf ball, baseball, etc). Why not body parts? I'd like to see hail the size of testicles :-)

  9. Another rule... on Seven Rules For Spotting Bogus Science · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...should be: if it has a missing step before Profit!, it's probably bogus.

  10. Seriously... on Web Log 'Word Bursts' Could Identify New Crazes · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's crackers to put a rozer dropsy in the snide.

  11. So Long Dolly on Goodbye, Dolly · · Score: 1

    I'll never forget the run in I had with Dolly. It could have been ugly but I went to court and it reduced to "Following Too Close".

  12. Re:Well... on Power Laws, Weblogs, and Your Given Name · · Score: 2, Funny

    I worked with a guy named Tom Wrench. He named his son Allen and his daughter Crescent and thought he was pretty clever. I asked if he was going to name his next child Monkey or Pipe.

  13. Re:The name on Blacker Than Black · · Score: 1

    BeoWolf Blackster.

  14. Then why... on Hic Hic Hooray: Hiccups Explained · · Score: 1

    don't women hiccup when they get my 10cc delivered at 38mph? Are they just *that* good at closing off their glottis?

  15. Oklahoma?? on Telemarketers Sue to Block Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 1

    Suing in Oklahoma? That'll be a true test. Most folks in Oklahoma are usually too busy sitting on their front porch whittling, chewing tobacco and/or picking the banjo to answer the phone. The rest can't even hear the phone ringing when they're out back at the still.

  16. Decisions on Potato Bazookas · · Score: 1

    Down south, the bubbas are going to have a hard time deciding whether to throw the spud in the gun or in the still.

  17. Re:Why does this not sound easy to me? on AT&T Identifies Widespread Security Hole - In Locks · · Score: 1

    >What's your ol' roomate up to now?

    15 to 20 on 2 counts with early out for good behavior.

  18. Weather on The Sky Is Rising · · Score: 1

    Regardless of whatever conclusions are derived from weather calculations I believe they are fundamentally flawed. Based on past performances and predictions, we don't have a clue about what is going on.

    On a somewhat related matter, I used to date a Weather Chick and she was as unpredictable as the weather but she had piss-flaps as big as saddlebags!

  19. Re:Ban the auto - Up with Segweii + Postal Daleks on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    My god - an american who knows a comeback which doesnt involve "Yo mama is.."... and hasn't come from a christmas cracker....

    You're not exactly dealing with a chimp here, Chester.

  20. Re:Ban the auto - Up with Segweii + Postal Daleks on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    Bleeding SUV driving, redneck, hillbilly. Did you find slashdot while looking for cheats for Deer hunter?

    Oddly enough, no. I linked to it from the "U.K. Web Site for Bad Denistry" where you were honored as the 2003 Poster Boy, congrats. You may want to lay off the cough syrup before posting.

  21. Motorized Vehicles on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    If you *really* want to get a sense of what it's like to get banged around by motorized vehicles as a pedestrian, go to the free concert night at the Lawrence Welk theater in Branson!

  22. San Francisco - Not Surprising! on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    My wife was on a business trip there and got mugged by three guys in broad daylight! Two of them held her down while the other did her nails.

  23. Re:Ban the auto - Up with Segweii + Postal Daleks on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    ( I've been considering a bumper sticker campaign where we would covertly place "Gas Guzzler" bumper stickers on SUVs wherever they are parked. Hell, forget bumber stickers - paste that shit on their windshield!! )

    If it were *my* SUV, you'd show up in court *still* in a neck brace and pissing blood.

  24. Re:When UFO's Attack! on UFO Evidence From SOHO Satellite · · Score: 1

    > don't forget to play Slim Whitman really loud (Mars Attacks!)

    I'll admit, Slim Whitman works, but for *my money*, nothing works better than "Zamfir - Master of the Pan Flute".

  25. Roomba Ruminations on Dissecting the Roomba · · Score: 1

    I imagine this thing won't be popular until some geek figures out a way make it suck him off.
