  1. Re:Torrent? on First look at new Battlestar Galactica Episodes · · Score: 1

    Ducks are intrinsically funny.

  2. Re:3 years sounds good. on Star Trek XI In Two To Three Years. · · Score: 1
    Worked for Star Wars. Tell a great story, but leave it wholy unfinished, sit back on it for a good 20 years...

    Worked for Doctor Who too. And Battlestar Galactica too, apparently. This is definitely what they need to do.

  3. Re:Homocidal Xenophobes Welcome Extraterrestrials on 60% Of U.S. Believe Life Exists On Other Planets · · Score: 1

    Presumably you have another $.01 you plan to give elsewhere in this thread?

  4. Re:stop the boogaloo madness! on Browser Wars 2: Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    It comes from this 1984 movie and its 1984 sequel. As of a few weeks ago, all sequels now have the subtitle "Electric Boogaloo". Personally I'm waiting for "Browser Wars III: The Search For Spock".

    George Lucas doesn't have anything to do with this, does he?

  6. Re:Who wants to see everything? on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    The irony is, if you tried to walk through the scanner naked, they'd probably arrest you.

  7. Fatal flaw in this plan on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's no Roman numeral for zero!

  8. I can't honestly say I trust a review on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    ...where one of the cons listed for the Microsoft mouse is "inferior mouse". I mean, "Cons" in this context means "List of reasons why this is an inferior mouse". It's totally redundant!

  9. Re:It isn't about California on Tinfoil Hat House · · Score: 1

    This puzzles me. Is everybody in California trying to sell their house?

  10. Re:Niche marketing vs. Broadcasting on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Animation costs much more to make than, say, reality shows. For a reality show all you really, honestly need is, I dunno, one camera and an idea. And most seem to get away with just the camera.

  11. Re:If they bring this back.. on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 5, Funny

    BITE. BITE. BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS. It was the first thing Bender said in the series. Variations include "glorious golden ass" and "splintery wooden ass". He said it at least a dozen times. It was his catchphrase. I don't know how you could forget it.

  12. Re:THANK YOU! on Just a Phone? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why people are complaining about the excess of phones with many features. Nobody forced you to buy one; there are *plenty* of alternatives on the market if you just look past the ones being advertised the loudest. I use this one (black, though, not blue), it's extremely small, functional, and its single "feature" is a small white LED at the top which works very well as a flashlight. What less could you ask for?

  13. Re:My Naive Boss on 'Sith' Already Found Online · · Score: 1
    do you think they'll make movies about those two twin babies now?

    I think I speak for everybody when I say I can't wait for Episode IV.

  14. Re:$1mn? on CA's $1mn Open-Source Bounty Results · · Score: 1

    Humm. Guessing roughly 50% of posts are AC, that makes just over 6 nuts' worth of posting altogether.

  15. Re:broadcasters, telecom and hardware manufacturer on BBC Trial of TV Show Download Service · · Score: 1

    They control what we watch. Not how we watch it. Keep up.

  16. Re:Playstation Banana on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    It's not a boomerang. It's not a banana. It's a horseshoe.

  17. Re:Scared? on IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps they've fixed this since Win98 which is what I'm using, but I find windows in the Alt+Tab list are ordered by how recently they were used, so you'd get something more like:

    Alt+Tab Excel - no.
    Alt+Tab Firefox - no.
    Alt+Tab Excel again - no.
    Alt+Tab Firefox again - no.
    Alt+Tab Excel again - no.
    Alt+Tab Firefox again - no.
    ...

  18. Re:So now... on A Step Toward the Diamond Age · · Score: 1

    Give her a lump of coal. She can actually use that for something.

  19. Re:Early launch may not help on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    What makes you think that handhelds such as the PSP and DS are competing directly with the home consoles? I'll give you there's significant overlap, but the Xbox 360 and the PSP are not mutually exclusive purchases, not by a very long way.

  20. Re:nintendo errs again on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Let's be fair here, Microsoft didn't turn a profit, but then they never intended or expected to. Entering the videogaming industry as a console manufacturer is a huge, huge step, and a long-term one at that. The Xbox was basically establishing themselves, getting their foot in the door, becoming recognised as a participant in what was going to be a two-horse race. That was step one. Xbox 360 is step two, when they start making money out of their brand.

  21. Re:Really looking at the situation on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 4, Funny

    Call me a crackpot, but I'd conjecture that over the next few centuries, the average IQ of the human race will remain at precisely 100.

  22. Re:Ooh I know! I know! on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 1
    Adamantium claws. Telepathy. Electromagnetism. Weather control. Yeah you read it right, they'll discover that there is a gene that controls weather.

    Better: they'll find there's a single gene, which, depending on how it mutates, could grant you ANY of these insanely diverse powers!

  23. Re:just out of curiousity? on Second Round of Serenity Screenings Sold Out · · Score: 1

    If you enjoy Firefly and are even remotely interested in anime, you will find a lot to like in Cowboy Bebop.

  24. Re:Fix the Game on Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0 · · Score: 1
    It's called a "rider" ... and it's been part of American politics for as long as America's been around.

    Ah, well that makes it okay then.

  25. Re:could slashdot just run an article... on How to Cool Your PC with Dry Ice · · Score: 1

    Frankly, I'm surprised all those guys on the International Space Station haven't tried mounting their processors on the exterior hull...
