  1. Re:Just think if SLASHDOT had written LOTR... on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    It would also come in six volumes, although three of them would be duplicates.

  2. Re:Finally, a decent frame rate. on GeforceFX (vs. Radeon 9700 Pro) Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    You could halve that speed by blinking with one eye at a time (or "winking") and reduce it even more by squinting.

    A true gamer would know that. ;)

  3. Re:Finally, a decent frame rate. on GeforceFX (vs. Radeon 9700 Pro) Benchmarks · · Score: 5, Funny

    True gamers blink between frames.

  4. Re:I am not a demographic on Deadly Perversions · · Score: 1

    Perhaps some Slashdot members don't understand sarcasm when they see it in black and white. Didn't the Dr. Seuss line give it away?

    *Sheesh*

  5. Re:G-forces? on Robocoaster · · Score: 1

    The G-forces are still there with the mechanical arm. They just don't last as long.

  6. Call Me Old Fashioned, but... on Robocoaster · · Score: 1

    Part of the thrill of the real thing is knowing you're extremely high up. If it's just spinning and shaking you're after, get one of the roller-coaster roadies to beat you up instead.


    Oh, and for the mod points: "In soviet Russia, they belong to all your base"

  7. Hackers' Holy Grail on Web Enabled Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    What's the bet the first transmission back to earth reads "All your bas are belong to us". Hackers rejoyce!

  8. Re:identical terminators unwise on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 1

    What, you think all the Terminators look alike?

    If they do come in different shapes and sizes then it was a pretty mean trick sending the model which tried to kill Sarah back to save her.

    On another note; why not send the terminators back to 1984 when the original film took place? Instead of sending the T-800 back to pick Sarah up from the asylum, why not send it a bit further back to help out Reese? Each film would then be a rehash or the first, but with more and more terminators.

  9. Oops... on Me Oh Me Oh My, Malda Gets Married · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think we broke your wedding album. Sorry... We promise we won't slashdot it the next time this post appears.

  10. Crime to run insecure networks... on Because Only Terrorists Use 802.11 · · Score: 1

    But what's insecure?

    Is a network insecure if the average Joe Coffee can break in?
    Is it insecure if the average IT worker can break in?
    Is it insecure if the l33t H@x0r5 can break it?


    Considering any terrorist worth his salt will only employ the best, I guess it's the last option. So now if a network is compromised both the hacker and the victim are criminals...

    Glad I'm not living in the states.

  11. Re:Its honestly about time. on Class Action Filed Against Bonzi Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    That is why you don't see as much porn-banners/popups/spam as there used to be a few years ago...


    No. I don't see as many porn-banners/popups/spam as I used to a few years ago because my eyesight is shot to bits.

    Comes with the territory...

  12. Re:Little known about Einstein ?? on Einstein Unveiled · · Score: 2, Funny

    Freud liked his mother

    Not really. He just liked the cigars she smoked.

  13. Re:"unknown"? Light article... on Einstein Unveiled · · Score: 5, Informative

    Don't forget his fun quote: God doesn't play with dice

    And don't forget this little uncertainty gem either:
    "A mouse cannot change the universe just by looking at it." -A.E.

    Or this beauty from his wife (Speaking with an astronomer boasting about his new telescope with which he "examines the workings of the universe"):
    "Really? My husband uses the back of an old envelope."
