  1. Microsoft, first to implement CLI on top of GUI? on Ballmer on Windows Server 2003, Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because direct implementation would require a complete rewrite of the codebase, anyone suspecting that the command lines you type will actually move a cursor and click on GUI elements internally, just without video output?

  2. RIAA has no hard numbers on piracy on RIAA, This Is Earth, Please Come In! · · Score: 5, Funny
    The essentials are missing:
    • Number of active pirate ships.
    • Number of CD shipment boats attacked per year.
    • Number of CDs per boat.
    • Number of pirates per ship.
    • Number of parrots per ship (if available).
  3. The computer is the network... on IBM To Publish Java Office Suite · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    and when the network is down, your computer is down too. Why does IBM have to jump in the same broken bandwagon as Sun?

  4. Re:interesting on Endless Liquid Refreshment · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can plastic survive soda corrosion?

    If you build your plastic pipes out of 2-liter soda bottles, you should be ok.

  5. Cowboy Bebop is *real*? on Review: Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 0

    I thought it was a fake Slashdot anime name based on "Cowboy Neal". It certainly doesn't sound Japanese.

  6. Re:God bless US of A! on Acadia Streaming Patent Contested · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm sure Thomas Jefferson is spinning in his grave.

    Hmm, maybe that was the plan.

    1. Install an alternator inside Thomas Jefferson's grave.
    2. Abuse the patent system.
    3. Sell the electricity generated by the alternator.
    4. Profit!!!

  7. Tired of April 1st on Slashdot? on FSF Debuts "Shared Source" Initiative · · Score: 5, Funny

    Take a break from Slashdot, and do your *income taxes*. That's what I'm doing, and I sure hope that when the IRS employee sees my fat check dated April 1st, he'll think "this gotta be a joke", and trash my submission entirely.

  8. Sounds like Slashdot on Fighting the Hydra -- A Spam Warrior's Tale · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... decentralized opponents striking from the shadows against quarreling allies. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

    Yes, it's like the horde of trolls striking while other people are trying to discuss the subject at hand.

  9. Re: Just not very imperial... on Robots! · · Score: 1

    In no time we can compute its average density: 7000/(58*19*27) = 0.235 g/cm2, and deduce that attempting to get rid of a plastic wrapped Sony SDR-4X II unit by dumping it at the bottom of a lake wouldn't work without the help of a heavy brick.

  10. Re:You've spelled Cracker wrong. on Hacker Leaks Unreleased CERT Reports · · Score: 1

    Since he hasn't "cracked" anything either, I suggest we call him based on what he's doing: he's a leaker.

  11. Re:first post on Top Ten Dying Game Genres · · Score: 1, Funny

    Getting first post is certainly not a dying game genre.

  12. Re:watch out! on 8.6 GB Internet? · · Score: 4, Funny

    And the MPAA will measure piracy in "GB-equivalent" because some of these gigabytes are transferred really fast.

  13. We're all swimming in confusion. on New Animatrix Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    Is this slashdot story announcing the 2nd or the 3rd trailer?

    And you red5, are you claiming that the 2nd trailer came out weeks ago, or the 3rd?

    Thanks.

  14. Re:How to check if you are vulnerable on Microsoft Bug May Attract Big Worm · · Score: 1

    ...and if it says something else, your computer has already been compromized.

  15. Somewhere in the code running the universe... on The Universe May Be Shaped Like a Doughnut · · Score: 5, Funny

    /* comment this out to get an infinite universe */
    if (particle->position.x < LEFT_LIMIT)
    particle->position.x += RIGHT_LIMIT - LEFT_LIMIT;
    else if (particle->position.x >= RIGHT_LIMIT)
    particle->position.x -= RIGHT_LIMIT - LEFT_LIMIT;

  16. Let me help them build the list on U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry is Law · · Score: 5, Funny

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
    {
    int i, j, k;

    for (i = 100; i <= 999; i++)
    for (j = 100; i <= 999; j++)
    for (k = 0; k <= 9999; k++)
    printf("(%03d) %03d-%04d\n", i, j, k);
    }

  17. Oscars already ignore porn on Digital Movies, Analog Oscars · · Score: 0, Funny

    If Oscars ignore BOTH porn and sci-fi, they are dead.

  18. SCSI = ... on Serial SCSI Standard Coming Soon · · Score: 4, Funny

    If I understand the title correctly, SCSI = Standard Coming Soon Interface?

  19. And it's not even a stable measure! on Internet Traffic Still Growing Quickly · · Score: 1

    the size of the LOC is doubling every century or something.

  20. So you're glad you're big and fat. on Collecting Stardust · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Dust grains are like armageddon asteroids if you're a tiny extra-terrestrial.

  21. View the games with Javascript on Kasparov OpEd On His Latest Match · · Score: 4, Informative

    The submitter didn't scour the web properly. You can view the games with professional commentaries with nothing more than a Javascript enabled browser at these links:

  22. Re:IN SOVIET RUSSIA on Wikipedia Reaches 100,000th Article · · Score: 1

    "In soviet russia", eh? Because of creative trolls like you the Slashdot trolling phenomena entry is yet again out of date.

  23. Check the specs! on More Drooling Over The Opteron · · Score: 2, Funny

    Verify the maximum amount of drool the chip can sustain before you start to droll over it.

  24. Improvement? on Dual Screen/Display Laptop · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Glue 2 laptops together and network them. Not only do you have a dual screen, but you also have a beowulf cluster.
