  1. ...And René Descartes on Key Letter By Descartes Found After 170 Years · · Score: 0, Redundant

    was a drunken fart, "I drink therefore I am!"

  2. Re:uh Eatign in San Francisco on Great White Sharks Visiting San Francisco · · Score: 1

    He'll eat some gentle people there.

  3. The Path to the Dark Side on Fear Detector To Sniff Out Terrorists · · Score: 1

    Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

  4. Beyond State Power on Utah Trying To Restrict Keyword Advertising ... Again · · Score: 1

    I'm usually quite the defender of the idea that the 50 states are the incubator of ideas for governing, each an experimental sandbox, the synthesis of which over time leads to good policy on a national level. However, I find it hilarious and stupid that we must endure presumptuous state governments attempting to regulate the internet, something that transcends borders. I look forward to a day when Congress of the Supreme Court sees fit to bar these petty potentates from imposing their will on the whole of the web-using world.

  5. Re:Process should be fair. on Utah Trying To Restrict Keyword Advertising ... Again · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nonsense; more than one advertiser can buy "Toyota" as a keyword, while there is only one Toyota.com. There's nothing wrong with presenting alternatives when someone is looking for something; search is not an exact science anyhow, and many results end up being something other than what you're looking for. A Chevy dealer could buy the keyword and run an ad promoting the Malibu as an alternative to the Camry or such.

  6. Re:Time Warner/Earth link on Broadband Access Without the Pork? · · Score: 1

    This is the option I came in to mention. It's a pretty sweet deal, although I often forget that Earthlink is the provider, as I don't use the included email addresses and the billing is through TW, so I practically never see "Earthlink" in relation to my connectivity.

  7. Re:MST - Killed because people can't handle the tr on Mystery Science Theater Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Mr Sinus lives on as Master Pancake Theater, several times a week at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz

  8. Cartman said it better: on Couple Win Most Bizarre Will Contest · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

  9. Temper, temper! on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd hate to have to be the one to tell him that his dad's lawyer buddy is screwing his Canadian girlfriend...

  10. Re:I hate... on Batman Discussion · · Score: 2, Informative

    FYI: Jason's back, too.

  11. Bad news, good news on Electrically Conductive Plastic Polymer · · Score: 0

    The bad news is that future electronics will be even flimiser than they currently are...the good news is that they'll be more easily recycled...

  12. Re:We've already got one! on Apple and LG plan Flash Laptops · · Score: 5, Funny

    You have just missed a Monty Python reference. Please turn in your Slashdot card, as well as any and all other nerd paraphernalia.

  13. Re:Incredible Speaker on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 1

    It's also a 50cc Yamaha scooter; I learned how to ride on one!

  14. With my +3 Green Laser Pointer... on Microsoft Warns of PowerPoint Attack · · Score: 3, Funny

    Your pitiful FlipChart-fu is no match for my mighty PowerPoint Attack!

  15. Re:eh? on 'Quantum Leap' Awards For FPS Games Revealed · · Score: 1

    There's also no mention of FPS on handhelds! I remember the first such game I played, the obscure Faceball2000. Kill the evil smilies!

  16. Re:Check your facts! on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 4, Funny

    Feel that breeze? You, my good Stranger4U, have been WOOOSHED...

  17. Re:Old Media is dead on The Challenges and Rewards of 'Place-Shifting' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a business decision. Which do you suppose is cheaper and easier: changing the minds of those used to thinking what they're paid to think (that's legislators, for the inference-impaired) or changing the way a whole company is run?

  18. Can they take the heat? on Surgical Tools to Include RFID · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't they use an autoclave or some such to sterilize the instruments? Can the RFID chips take the heat, moisture and pressue invloved in that procedure?

  19. Conversion on Xbox Live Hits 24 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    Aha! So, we finally have a figure for the elusive LoC unit. It turns out 1 LoC = 20 terabytes. Now, if only Google would add this to its unit conversion feature.

  20. Evolution on Linspire Announces Freespire Distribution · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lindows -> Linspire -> Freespire
    So, if they hadn't been forced to change, would this new distro be called Freedows? The mascot could have been the Freedow Bandido!

  21. Re:Amazing Technology on China Approves Facial Recognition for Surveillance · · Score: 1

    bwa-ha-ha!

  22. Overheard in Redmond... on Microsoft Spending $120M To Look Smaller · · Score: 1
