  1. Re:Rubbish on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 1, Funny

    Pssh. Chuck Norris can divide by zero while delivering a roundhouse kick to conventional mathematics!

  2. Re:15 seconds on An Early Warning System For Earthquakes · · Score: 1

    Ahem. I, for one, don't want to shit myself in the middle of a massive earthquake, so maybe that's what the warning system should be used for: Avoid embarrassing smelly aftershocks in your pants!

  3. Re:Site is down, so no videos for now on Michigan Teen Creates Fusion Device · · Score: 1

    His ISP is going to need that ball of fusion to power their server after the /.ing you brought upon it.

  4. Re:Sure.. on Has 3D Video Finally Arrived? · · Score: 1

    I think they're also adding Enemy-Of-The-State-o-vision, so you can rotate a person in a video capture completely around and see the contents of a messenger bag! It's 3D-eriffic! I can't wait!

  5. /.'d on Has 3D Video Finally Arrived? · · Score: 4, Funny
    Maybe when we have this new OMGWTF 3D technology, this text will look so 1337 I won't care:

    Error establishing a database connection

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.
    • Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    • Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    • Are you sure that the database server is running?
    • [this really should be here] Did your page just get pwned by Slashdot?

    If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
  6. First pun! on Opening Zune Sales Flaccid · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's hope this product is zune to be forgotten!

  7. Re:Target Market = Tinfoil hat wearers on First Company Logo Visible From Space · · Score: 1

    Except you're forgetting that:

    1) The tin-foil demographic isn't really that large
    2) They probably also believe some urban legend / conspiracy theory about KFC already

  8. Obligatory quote on First Company Logo Visible From Space · · Score: 1

    When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks.

    I can't wait to see a logo on the moon.

  9. Re:OT on 100 Gbps Via Ethernet · · Score: 1

    Crown College, 2005, BS in CS (though should have been 2003 if everything went according to plan). Thinking about going back for grad school, as I'm still living in SC.

  10. TCP-PR = neat stuff on 100 Gbps Via Ethernet · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's a link to the paper (PDF) on the packet reordering if you're interested. Being a former banana slug, I was very interested to see this research coming out of UCSC. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy whenever something theory-based is actually implemented.

  11. Thank god it was Samsung on Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled · · Score: 4, Funny

    Could you imagine if Microsoft made this robot?

    Robo-sentry.NET Vista Live: It looks like you're trying to enter a demilitarized zone! Would you like to:

    • Go back the way you came?
    • Be riddled with bullets?
    • Have me fetch Steve Ballmer to pwn you?

    Either that, or they'd try and sell trespassers V1AGRA

  12. $2k laser on Blu-ray Laser Gadget · · Score: 4, Funny

    But can it be mounted on a shark?

  13. Re:Japanese version on Justin Long No Longer A Mac · · Score: 1

    Oh my god. That's the funniest shit I've seen.. well, since I saw Patrick Stewart in an extra talking about tits about fifteen minutes ago. Thank you for the entertainment.

  14. Re:This one didn't work so well on Successful Alternatives To Password Authentication? · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of this stupid system our IS department set up. It required you to enter answers to five or six challenge questions (in case you forgot your password), but the answers had to be at least five characters. Of course, this kind of sucks when your mother's maiden name is four and your favorite color are both four-letter words.

    I hope that helps. And the real humor is that I just got modded insightful!

  18. Half Life 2 on Smart Cameras Detect Crime, Erode Privacy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Did anyone think of those annoying little camera-like things in Half Life 2 when they read this? I'm sorry, but having some algorithm deduce whether or not my behavior is acceptable is over the limit.

  19. Simple solution on Malware In Quantum Computing? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just don't install Windows Vista XP Pro, which, ironically, requires a quantum computer to run.

  20. That's nothing compared to the Cubatron on A Giant DIY LED Display · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Big Round Cubatron is a much bigger, much cooler DIY LED display. It was the cool thing at this year's Burning Man.

    Videos here, here, here, ...well, you get the idea.

  21. WPF!!1!111 on What's Different About Vista's GUI? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I know it doesn't make sense, but the Object Management Group should extend the API just so we'd have the OMGWPFAPI.

  22. Re:SHARK Lego Mindstorms + lasers on Lego Mindstorms + Lasers · · Score: 1

    Yeah?

    I want muthafuckin' lasers on a muthafuckin' shark!

  24. Educated guess on Seitz's 160 Megapixel Digital Camera · · Score: 5, Funny

    The sysadmins that host the 720 megapixel image of Sydney are probably not going to be sending you thank-you cards, I'm guessing.

    So appropriate.
