  1. The important question on World's Biggest Battery Switched On in Alaska · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does it emit a heart-stopping, ear-splitting banshee wail when it kicks in? Because the lights going off just isn't sufficent notice that the power is out...

  2. In Other News on Big Company on Campus · · Score: 3, Funny

    Naming rights for the first two letters of XXNBC now up for bid...

  3. Pants ARE Optional... on Pants Were Optional, 100,000 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    right here & right now, baby...

  4. bah! on World's First Game-Playing DNA Computer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdotters already play LOTS of games with DNA...mostly solitare, though, as I understand.

  5. I know... on Gaming Girls Of GenCon Interviewed · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...that there's a joke here, and it probably involves breasts, but I'm too tired to think of it just now.

  6. In more familiar terms... on Five-second Pints · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a beer bus that runs at a blazing 0.2 hz!

  7. Re:cowbells on Cows Identified by Retinal Imaging · · Score: 1

    No more cowbell? But it's the secret to music-producing success! [/walken]

  8. Adventure Racing, Transformers, etc. on Car Makers Use Games As Virtual Test Drive · · Score: 4, Funny

    While I, personally, wouldn't allow a video game with less-than-realistic game physics affect my automotive purchase decisions, I'm convinced that my ex was none-too-subtly influnced by Beetle Adventure Racing (for the N64) in her desire for the siver-gray bubble she now drives...
    On the other hand the new Transformers: Alternators verion of Smokescreen as a Subaru WRX does kinda make me want a pseudo-rally car...but only if it changes into a giant alien robot.

  9. The Key to Tomb Raiders Sucess on Core Design Loses Grip On Lara · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bigger boobies and enchanced breast-motion simulation... what?

  10. Replace Aluminum with Bamboo Everywhere! on Bamboo Bike A Reality · · Score: 1

    I'll be looking for the cool bamboo computer case with a window in the side and blue lights...

  11. But that's not all! on Digitized Gutenberg Bible Available · · Score: 1

    We've also got the World's First Photograph here at the ol' HRC. And Lewis Carrol's eyeglasses. Woo-hoo! Oh, and the ancient tome was exposed to a great deal of light in the scanning process (it took 4 days to scan, a year to prep for the web), which was done with a $40k-ish fancy-schmancy no-touching-the-priceless-relic thingamajig. Hopefull it'll get used to scan in other old printed things, like teh medival pr0n.

  12. beware the bezerker-mouse attack! on Weapon-X Mice · · Score: 2, Funny

    *squeak* *squeak* *SNIKT*

  13. An obvious ploy... on Olmos Tells Fans: "Don't Watch Galactica" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your Reverse-psychology-fu is useless against my hazy recollection of C-3PO wannabes with KITT eyes and creepy cyborg bear-things!

  14. It's always so slow! on R-Type Final Gets Fresh For U.S.? · · Score: 2, Funny

    So I slap a sticker on it to make my R-Type a Type-R to make it go faster...

  15. Forget the Mom Test on Mom Meets Linux - A Lindows 4.0 Review · · Score: 0

    I want a distro that passes the Grandmother test!

  16. Are ya gonna want that chip? on Methods for Bypassing Faulty VChips? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because if you're not, we could implant it in a potty-mouthed 3rd grader and endow him with super-electro-zappy powers..

  17. Other Atari Enemies on New Atari 2600 RPG In Development · · Score: 4, Funny
    "fight enemies from other Atari 2600 games."

    "a field-force management application" But what I really want is a force-field management application...

  19. ProSleeves on How Do You Store Your CDs? · · Score: 1

    I'm a devotee of the CaseLogic ProSleeve...and whatever ProSleeve knockoff they have at CompUSA from time to time. Both can hold 2 discs or a disc and liner notes, plus end tabs in the top slot. I keep 'em alphabetized by artist in sturdy cardboard & metal boxes from IKEA. Space-efficient, flexible & not too pricey.

  20. Re:Why is it bad? on NASA Redesigning The Space Shuttle · · Score: 3, Funny
    but it's also lacking:

    Spoiler

    Type-R Sticker

    Lowering Kit

  23. Best. Free Printer. Evar. on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    Is the HP LaserJet IID I snagged when my office upgraded...along with 3 extra toner cartriges (enough to print for years on...) Over a decade old, 2 paper sizes, 300 dpi, auto-duplexing, the works ('cept for color)...it even works fine with my mandrake laptop Of course, then, it does weigh 70 lbs...

  24. The TRUE benefit of Hydrogen... on A Hydrogen-Based Economy · · Score: 1

    is cooler-looking fuel pumps!

  25. Its Office-friendly on New Gameboy Announced · · Score: 1

    3" square is the same footprint as a pad of regular-style Post-Its...even with my chubby fingers, i think I could manage to play that for a few hours at a time...
