  1. I know I havn't read the article, but on The Debate about Social Software · · Score: 0, Redundant

    does "social software" mean the kind that allows you to communicate with others, or the "social" software produced by Richard Stallman and his hordes?

  2. Apple promoting piracy? on Mac P2P Music Sharing with iTunes is Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    This blows my mind. Surely it was intended for people to submit their own personally composed music library.

  3. [Terminator Theme Song Playing] on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Arnold: Come with me if you want to live.*
    Jon: Let's get out of here quick! The new terminator is on her way!
    Arnold: Do not worry. The new terminator is installing feminine products, this will take some time*.

    *Insert proper Austrian accent for effect.

  4. Yes. on Run Your Car on Grease · · Score: 1

    Fryer grease-powered diesel cars are quite popular in the Telluride, Colorado area. There are even entire cable access television shows dedicated to the topic in that area.

  5. Spammers. on Where Does Spam Come From? No, Really? · · Score: 1

    They are far too clever and resourceful to ever be fully stopped.

  6. Re:The programming better include... on Fujitsu To Ship Linux Powered Robot in July · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There was nothing honourable or decent about Asimov. He was a convicted child molester under house arrest between the years of 1983 and 1984. Can't you tell from his novels, from the suggestive sexual nature assigned to young persons in his books, that the man's a pervert? God knows we're lucky he hadn't tread into the realm of roboto-humaniod sexual encounters. Still, it makes me nervous that young disaffected youth idolise such a man, who wrote limericks about detonating explosives in the vaginal cavities of women, and murder of infants. Seek help, please.

  7. useful info on Farscape Fans Reinventing Television · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Save Farscape was created for the explicit effort of saving Farscape. I sure hope it is saved, since it's probably one of the best sci-fi shows in existence. Pretty much all I watch for TV shows are Junkyard Wars, Farscape and Enterprise.

  8. My thoughts on space travel on Slashback: Intuit, Telemetry, Meetup · · Score: 2, Funny

    Trips to Mars
    We need them now
    Oh please, NASA
    Tell the Chinese how

    Away they go
    Into the sky
    Their angle of re-entry, oh no!
    They burn up and die die

    So here's to space travel
    It litters the orbit with metal of hunk
    So that's what I pay taxes for?
    I'd prefer a kick to the junk.

  9. I have some ideas. on Why Nerds Are Unpopular · · Score: 2, Troll
    The two distinct breeds of nerd/geek/dork are:

    The Skinny Pushover. The Skinny Pushover finds sports 'hard' and exclusively for "those jock assholes". Recluse behaviour makes them antisocial, irritating, cyinical and generally unpleasant to be around. They feel as if they're more intelligent than normal people

    The Fat Fuck. The Fat Fuck doesn't metabolise quite as well as his thin counterpart. The Fat Fuck therefore packs on the pounds of blubber just playing video games and watching cartoons all day. The Fat Fuck is typically more bearable as a friendly human being, but is only marginally so due to reeking body odor.

    Now that I've defined the two breeds, I have some more ideas why nerds are unpopular.

    They smell bad because they're unwashed. Basic hygiene cuts time out of watching Cartoon Network and playing MMORPGs. Thusly, the poor hygiene forces them to seek the willing company of their own kind for sexual encounters, leading up to the next point...

    They prefer games like Everquest and Quake3 LAN parties to actual social interaction.

    The nerd only seeks a certain type of employment: see IT/IS technician and or sysadmin. Further isolation leads to undesirable public behaviour, on the rare occasion that it occurs at all. Case and point, poor manners and emulation of cartoon characters.

    Excessive quotation from the television show "The Simpsons". While amusing the first couple re-runs, memorised and regurgitated script from a cartoon proves to be an incredible deterrant for normal people.

  10. Re:Idiocy prevails. on Dave Barry Answers Alert Slashdot Readers' Questions · · Score: -1, Troll

    Not that it can really be considered a 'joke', it just plain sucks. It's a play on words at most. The Pulitzer Prize isn't a surprise at all.

  11. Idiocy prevails. on Dave Barry Answers Alert Slashdot Readers' Questions · · Score: -1, Troll

    How has your life changed since you won a Pullet Surprise?

    That's Pulitzer, moron.


    ...they will decide voluntarily to stop hassling us.

    Right, maybe if spammers got their fortune, they'd say "Fuck off world!" You're most certainly going to get more spam. This Dave guy is a comedian? Could have fooled me.

  12. Oh man, I've been waiting for this on Sequel to Ghost In The Shell · · Score: 5, Informative

    For some time now! Behold and drool over another preview/interview.

  13. I don't know about anyone else on IEEE Spectrum Surveys Current Games' AI Technology · · Score: 3, Informative

    but I find that the AI in Hitman II is quite exceptional. I havn't seen AI this good since Turok2 Dinosaur hunter!

  14. Obligatory on Delta IV RocketCam Videos · · Score: 4, Informative
  15. Yowch. on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's almost more outrageous than the tarrifs you have to pay when entering and exiting San Fransisco in a taxi. Sheesh!

  16. What is it about on PayPal Founder Wants To Launch Satellites · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    multi-millionaires and space travel? Does the money really "go your head" so much that you must "look down" upon the world from space because you're better than everyone else? Just look at that n'Sync idiot Lance who never got to go in to space; he just didn't have enough money. Clearly merchantilist cretins like Dennis Tito think they're better than everyone else "down on earth" and have this sickening Freudian complex. What'll we see next? Bill Gates building a space platform in Redmond to look down from his private space elevator? Sometimes I think millionaires have nothing better to do than be condescending!

  17. Without a doubt on Slashback: Drivers, Bodycomputing, Farscape · · Score: 2

    I'll have my TiVo ready to capture every delicious episode until the final season comes out on DVD.

  18. On the topic of Farscape... on Slashback: Drivers, Bodycomputing, Farscape · · Score: 5, Informative

    Save Farscape was created for the explicit effort of saving Farscape. I sure hope it is saved, since it's probably one of the best sci-fi shows in existence. Pretty much all I watch for TV shows are Junkyard Wars, Farscape and Enterprise.

  19. The article on AMD's 64-bit Plot · · Score: 2

    talks virtually nothing about similarities to IA-64. Perhaps, what I'm asking is, can anybody compare and contrast the two architectures; is there a certain advantage to one or the other?

  20. For those of you unfamiliar with the original, on Star Control 2 Released Under the GPL · · Score: 5, Informative

    I can only suggest the great wealth of links located at dmoz. There's pretty much everything you need to learn about the series and then some.

  21. Nonono, he's got it all wrong! on 5 Predictions for 2012 · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the year two-thousand and twelve, we will have inexhaustable electricity sources, flying cars, commercial zeppelin transports, jetpacks, a non-crashable Microsoft Operating system and of course SPAM(TM) that is edible.

  22. Introducing Microsoft One Window� on More on Longhorn · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft One Window(TM) is the only window you'll ever need to look through. It provides you with a view of everything in the world. Microsoft One Window(TM) knows all. Microsoft One Window(TM) shows you only what you want to see. Microsoft One Window(TM) is GOD.

  23. The plot of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on Unfinished Adventures · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... hunger in the world has become a major problem so research teams are studying sites on the sea floor for potential undersea farming.

    Oh man, that sounds like it could have been greaat fun, I'm SO SORRY that project was nixed, I could really go for some UNDERWATER FARMING right now! What a shame. :-(

  24. I agree. on Cringely on P2P · · Score: 1

    Cringley hits the nail on the head. It's so easy to get any pop-media that you want through P2P that it's not even funny. The entertaniment industry needs to invest in other methods of making profit, the current one may be going the way of the dinosaur.

  25. I can see it now.. on Hello Kitty May Be Key to 3G Survival · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hello Kitty cellphone/vibrator combo. Hey, it's definitely not out of the question when we're talking about all things Hello Kitty.
