  2. Hmm.. on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wonder if any of the box sets will include gollums acceptace speech at the MTV movie awards.

    Now that's an extra I'd pay money for, I mean, who expected a cussing and screaming gollum calling peter jackson a bastard. Now that's entertainment.

    And yes. I will be using spell check for their site.

  4. Ouch.. on Compensation for Bandwidth Costs is Extortion? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now this is weird, I _just_ took a break to read slashdot from desiging the website for the police service in my city.

    Thank god I'm not going to be hosting it.

  5. Cheaper Alternative on Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life · · Score: 1

    For myself at least... "Print Screen"

  6. Sweet. on Macromedia to Port Flash MX to Linux? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is half the reason I dont use linux on the desktop. Now, get me a stable version of Photoshop CS, and I'm in.

  7. Re:Weirdness.. on Tracking Via Anonymous SIM Cards · · Score: 1

    Yup! It was a prepaid phone.

  8. Weirdness.. on Tracking Via Anonymous SIM Cards · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When I bought my latest phone, I had to get the SIM card activated, the salesman asked me for my name, address, etc.. so I began pulling out my wallet for him to copy my ID down. So instead.. he gives me a scrap piece of paper and a pen to put it down, this really seems weird to me.

    Nothing was stopping me from putting down the wrong info (looking back now, maybe I should have). It just struck me as odd how easy it would have been to fake it all..

  9. I got it... on NEC Demands License Fees For Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 4, Funny

  10. Question... on Uncle Science Olympiad Needs You · · Score: 1

    Ok.. I browsed the links, and I've still yet to find a definition for the "naked egg drop".

    "confiscating and ISP's equipment on suspicion"

    I can see this being a real problem to any isp with a newsgroup server.

  13. Hint. on Digital 'Ghosts' To Guide Students On Campus · · Score: 4, Funny

    Turn down your speakers before clicking the second link.

    This is slashdot, so I'm assuming you've already come this far down the page and have yet to click the link.

  14. Hmm.. on Are Modern Games Too Easy? · · Score: 1

    I believe the worst video game experience I've had was playing 'sewer rat' for SegaCD.

    Now for the time this game had amazing graphics, until you realzied the whole thing was a movie, and all you had to do was press up down left or right, and shoot a couple things the entire time.

  15. huh? on Double Comet Spectacular... Maybe · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're clustering comets now?

  16. I knew it. on End of the "Lone Asteroid" Theory? · · Score: 5, Funny

  17. CYA on EV1 Servers CEO Responds To Customers · · Score: 2, Interesting


    Cover Your Ass.

    It strikes me that it's all he is really trying to accomplish. For himself, and his customers.

  18. Re:JUnit? on Pragmatic JUnit Testing · · Score: 1

    Sadly, I was going to do the same too...

  23. Great! on Qwest To Offer 'Naked DSL' · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've been harassing my dsl provider for it for a while now.

    It's simple I say, either I drop my landline and get rid of my DSL, or drop the landline and keep the DSL.

    Do you want some of my money, or none of my money?
    They still dont seem to get it though. Good for Qwest customers.

  24. Lemon Juice. on Protecting Your Gear from Pets? · · Score: 4, Informative


    A buddy of mine has a cat that loves to attack/claw/chew wires. He put a little sprinkle of lemon juice on the wires, cat doesnt go near them anymore.

    And it just may make your office area smell nicer.

  25. Well.. on Sony Announces New Ratchet, Jak, Sly Cooper · · Score: 4, Interesting

    One can only hope the commercials for this will be as creative and memorable as the ratchet and clank commercials.
