    There really is a lolcat for everything. Maybe ceiling cat will become the next FSM. Or a religious war will break about between the two.

  2. Re:Eh on Switching To Solar Power – One Month Later · · Score: 1

    Heat pump desuperheater? Is that from the new Batman movie or the upcoming Hellboy movie?

  3. Re:One Question on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    Because the animated Freeze out-acted (under-acted?) Arnold. Arnold needed to actually impart some apathy into Freeze. Basically, the Terminator would have made a better Freeze.

    An assemblage of Heads thus spake, and declared it Empyrean.

    You sire, win the category for best description/analogy of a summary on slashdot. (Very prestigious)

  6. Re:Holy run-on article on Why Microsoft Is Chasing Yahoo · · Score: 2, Funny

    That article was so long, I actually had to start working!

  7. Re:A C64 ... lan party? on First Commodore 64 LAN Party · · Score: 1

    Uh... that's why you bring the beer and weed. Then done becomes a relative term.

  8. Re:Hooray! on First Commodore 64 LAN Party · · Score: 1

    Another old wizard's fan here... /me get disgruntled thinking about the Great Balls of Fire level..... yes, to this day. (And Robots on Jumpman because that was the last level that worked on my C64 copy^H^H^H^H original copy.

    Was it blackbeard or bluebeard that had all the cracked, uh, enhanced software?

  9. Re:One step closer to Futurama on Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head · · Score: 1

    You should also point out:

    Romeo and Juliet is just a redone Italian poem.

    Oh, and MS-DOS was based off of 86-DOS.
    Oh, and Edison didn't make the first lightbulb.

  10. Re:Old favorite on Dungeons and Desktops · · Score: 1

    I also was fan of that seemingly forgotten game. I saw this mention, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_fantasy, and felt that was a good description of the type of RPG setting it was. Though the dungeons did have dwarves/gnomes (can't remember) and dragons.

    Me: Throws an exploding potion in memory of fallen homies (those villagers really were satan worshipers!)

  11. Re:The Race Card. Re:Who does age matter to? on Algorithm Names Powell 'Ideal' Vice President Candidate · · Score: 1

    > Your "average" racist is simply going to leave their mouth shut and wield their racism more subtly.

    Someone should have told Don Imus that. However, I prefer them "outed" anyways.

    All this coughing going around, I hope it's not contagious. Anyways, heres a cherry flavored Lorentz.

  13. Google: Microprose Circa 1993 on Google Accidently Revealed As eBay Critic · · Score: 1

    MS: Circa 1998? This is slashdot ... most people here have a genetic tendency to hate them from birth. For me it was around when Win95 came out, I finally had the magic combination memory manager and sound card drivers (why did those damn things never work) where almost everything I had worked. The new shit, Win95, just wasn't "Plug and Play" like they said (not that I was naive enough to believe their hype). Of course dosbox works better than DOS did back then (6.2 not 6.22, that removed some disk compression due to copyright infringement if I remember).

    offtopic -1. Old MS ramblings +3.

  16. Command Virus Anyone? on New Antivirus Tests Show Rootkits Hard to Kill · · Score: 1

    I'm fixing a computer of my neighbor's who had a tonne of viri (that's a technical term) including Smitfraud and something related to command.exe. I don't know if it replaced command.com with it's own variant, cause I can't seem to get rid of it even in safe mode. Though, I haven't tried turning off system restore ... now that I think about it .. that's probably why it keeps getting resurrected. Thanks for your help me! Now, where is the me that knows how to make a casino ...

  18. Re:The real question here is... on Peter Gabriel's Web Server Stolen · · Score: 1

    I checked this article just to make sure someone made a sledgehammer joke. Good job citizen! You've hit the big time.

  19. Re:Language Magic Bullets on The Return of Ada · · Score: 1

    Your the second person to mention this. But, I could argue that there exists a set of all specs, and my buggy program perfectly executes one of those specs. In just happens the spec says to blue screen when connecting a scanner during a presentation.

  20. Re:Not the last nail in the coffin by far... on Windows Live Hotmail CAPTCHA Cracked, Exploited · · Score: 1

    I am surprised that no one has mentioned that humans can intentionally miss the second word. You change quite a few letters (it seems to know the count) and kind of play MadLibs with their books. Cue the cusswords and non sequiturs. Not that I have done that or anything.

  21. Re:Does anybody know what the armor does? on Imperial Storm Troopers Skirmish in Latest IP Battle · · Score: 1
  22. Re:goodbye /. on Richard Dawkins to Appear on Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    I noticed a lot of posters don't see their own hypocrisy in these comments. However, I knew it was a Dawkins troll. They should have mentioned something about Dr. Who being edited on a Mac using DRM-free mpegs for the trifecta.

  23. Re:Call to Worship on Richard Dawkins to Appear on Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    Someone forgot their sense of humor. Now, where is that Living Colour cd...

  24. Re:I don't like Richard Dawkins on Richard Dawkins to Appear on Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is that most people don't have the time or inclination to research the message, they'll just look at the messenger. If the advocate of falsehoods wears a nicer suit and has a smoother delivery, he'll win on style points and the audience will not consider what the advocate of the truth had to say, even if the truth is on his side!


    Instead of suits, maybe they judge atheism/agnosticism on the character of the messenger. Dawkins does come across as arrogant to me (but maybe not others). This might make one believe that all agnostics are arrogant. Of course, there are plenty of "Christians" that seem to do the EXACT thing they preach against. I.e. sex (Jim Baker), drugs (Rush Limbaugh), stealing (money from marks - good majority of televangelists). So, you can make the case against them as well. And Muslims with the "religion of peace". A bad apple and all that jazz...


    Personally, I hold with Jefferson: "religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God". Which also means to me, stop trying to convert me, my beliefs are none of your concern.
