  1. Boom on The Next Level of X-Box Modding · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently he's serving the images from his Xbox too...

  2. Prior Art on Computer Made From DNA And Enzymes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Earlier today I hawked up a loogie in the parking lot. While at the moment it is only a puddle of goo, or "proof of concept", I predict that this collection of DNA and enzymes will someday be capable of performing over 330 trillion operations per second, more than 100,000 times the speed of the fastest PC!

  3. Re:Eh what? on Michigander Beats Spammer With "Junk Fax" Law · · Score: 2, Informative
    Seriously, is there a state that's got the problem under control?

    Here's how to find out...

  4. Re:$30/year is a bargain on Salon Asks for Help · · Score: 2, Insightful
    If Salon goes under, then it's an example of how capitalism can FAIL.

    It seems to me that if Salon goes under because they spent more than they earned, it'll be Salon that fails. That's capitalism at work.

  5. Greatest benefit on Gibson's Digital Guitar Finally Released · · Score: 1

    I maintain that the greatest potential benefit of this new computer-controlled guitar is that computer-generated "artists" like Britney and N'Sync will finally be able to be seen "playing" their own instruments.

  6. Re:It's just a refinement on PCMCIA Announces NEWCARD Format · · Score: 1
    NEWCARD is simply specs for a new version of PCMCIA that allows for two NEWCARDs in the place of one PCMCIA

    Isn't that basically the difference between PCMCIA Type II and Type I? If so, they could ditch the NEWCARD moniker and simply call it PCMCIA Type 0.5 (or would that be 0.V? or 1/2? or I/II?)

  7. The real threat on The Demise of Model Rocketry? · · Score: 1
    The little cardboard rockets I learned science with in high school are evidently suspected of being potential weapons of mass destruction.

    Nah... the real worry is if the terrorist kiddies get ahold of Estes model rocket technology. They might use it to create weapons of mouse destruction!

  8. Re:The FIRST mistake they made was on Buy a Segway... Please · · Score: 4, Funny
    If they just stuck a seat on it everything would be different.

    And pedals, for when the battery runs down. Hey wait...

  9. In other news on Blurring The Line Between BIOS And OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    In other news, Microsoft today announced the availability of Bios XP Service Pack 3, available as a 900MB download from www.microsoft.com or on two handy CD's for only $19.95 plus shipping and handling.

  10. Scumm on Agile Software Development with Scrum · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Yeah, those old LucasArts Scumm(tm) games were awesome! I wasted a huge portion of my teen years playing Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, and Fate of Atlantis.

    What? Oh, Scrum. Nevermind then.

  11. Double Buffering on Toms Hardware Reviews 65 CPU's, Past & Present · · Score: 2, Funny

    This must be the Slashdot version of double buffering... post the same story twice to ensure smooth, flicker free updates!

  12. Power Supply on Computers Will Be Built By Living Cells · · Score: 1
    At least they won't have to worry about a power supply for the computers they're building in your brain - remember, the human body generates as much "bioelectric energy" as a 100W lightbulb!

    I just hope the machines don't get all uppity and decide to convert a human being into this.

  13. Re:However, this points out how to find out. . . on Rand Expert Says To Keep Mum About Killer Asteroids · · Score: 1
    If all of a sudden they start mortgaging their souls to buy Porsches and big mansions with hot and cold running hookers, look out!

    If it's the end of the world, I'm damn well going to skip the non-hot hookers...

  14. Re:I'm surprised there is no cartoon network menti on An Extensive History of Anime · · Score: 1
    Cartoon network got me hooked on cowboy bebop. Everybody I know think's it's absolutely amazing and has gotten some

    Hmm... at first I read that as:

    1. Watch anime
    2. ???
    3. Get laid!

  15. Contents of the memo here on The RIAA and MPAA Target Day-Job Downloaders · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you're having trouble finding the "suggested memo" on the RIAA's website, here's a mirror.

  16. "Backwards Apostrophe"? on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 5, Funny
    And my PC keyboards all waste plastic on a backwards-apostrophe key

    Must not be a *nix user if he has no use for the tilde key!

  17. Next up on Slashdot.... on Israeli Firm Claims Unbreakable Encryption · · Score: 3, Funny

    British firm claims unsinkable ship...

  18. I need to read slower on New Lucasfilm Campus Breaks Ground at Presidio · · Score: 1

    At first I thought it said "George Lucas to remake The Presidio"...

  19. Net traffic congestion too on Check Traffic Congestion Online · · Score: 2, Funny
    Click here to see the Flash version

    You're right, that will cause congestion!

  20. Re:Solution! on California Considering More Internet Taxes · · Score: 1

    Ah, taxes. The entropy of the monetary universe.

  21. Not a washing machine anymore on Priest Brews in Washing Machine · · Score: 1

    So, he's converted his washing machine into a device that makes suds! Err...

  22. Re:Don't hold your breath.. on Gloss Plastic Could Eliminate Auto Painting · · Score: 1
    This would mean that if you were to ever scratch it, or something along those lines, you'd have to replace the entire piece.

    I take it you've never had a small dent in a steel car body panel - helloooooo, expensive panel replacement!

  23. Technology marches on on Nokia's Cellular GBA - The N-Gage · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow, the rate of technological progress these days is amazing. I mean, wasn't it just last year that everyone was excited about HO-gauge Nokias?

  24. Excellent on CPU Convective Water Cooling · · Score: 3, Funny

    Always good to see continuing advances being made in the field of compu-bong technology.

  25. Re:The type of spam filtering? on Aggressive Email Filtering Blocks Political Debate · · Score: 1
    I understand that keywords and phrases such as 'free money' 'zero percent financing' 'win million dollars' 'sex xxxxx pictures!' and so on can trigger many filters.

    Sorry, I'd like to reply to your post but my web filtering software is blocking it! ;)
