  1. White after labor day on Google Logo Changes Again, Hinting RT Search? · · Score: 1

    I thought it was about wearing white after labor day.

  2. Sine wave on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 1

    That's all you need.

  3. Florida on 5.5 Earthquake Hits Canada; Felt in US Midwest, New England · · Score: 1

    I felt the emotional impact.

  4. Re:It's about damn time. on Alan Turing Gets an Apology From Prime Minister Brown · · Score: 3, Funny

    Plato said that there is no true measure of justice, but it is important for a government to give the appearance of justice to society. This is a textbook example of that in action.

    Don't just make up quotes and attribute them to Plato. It makes philosophers really angry.

    "I really said that" - Plato

  5. Let me spell it out on Alan Turing Apology Campaign Grows · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's not a literal apology to Turing. This wouldn't make sense, he's dead. This is an acknowledgment of wrongdoing. It goes toward making sure it never happens again. This apology is for living people. It's the UK government saying "Don't persecute gays, because they might be awesome and invent computers."

  6. Too soon... on A History of Early Text Adventure Games · · Score: 1

    Still getting over Floyd. :'(

  7. Re:Impressive on Getting a Classic PC Working After 25 Years? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently it was found next to an 18" Stonehenge.

  8. I can't believe people care about this! on News Sites Slammed By Michael Jackson Traffic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I am going to write a whiny, holier-than-thou post on the Internet to let everyone know that I know there are more important things in the world: starving children, Iran, etc. There you go, my sweet ego...

  9. Listen to (h)Ackbar on Hacker Jeff Moss Sworn Into Homeland Security Advisory Council · · Score: 1

    It's a trap!

  10. Micromoog on 45-Year-Old Modem Used To Surf the Web · · Score: 1

    Micromoog synthesizer from the late 70's is the oldest piece of gear that I actually use.

  11. Re:Robbed for the sound oscar? on Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars · · Score: 4, Informative

    So animated films have no deadlines? Sound for animated or live action is often done the same way. In post. Rarely do you actually use a sound that you recorded on set (aside from dialog).

  12. Forget about it, Jake. on Software Piracy At the Beijing Branch Office? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's China (town).

  13. Wonderful! on Variations On the Classic Turing Test · · Score: 4, Funny

    The wife and I were looking for ways to spice up the ol' Turing Test.

  14. Re:There's more than one kind of racism. on Race and Racism In Video Games · · Score: 1

    Let's stop the hate. This one's for the kids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD42OpY5vu4

  15. Re:I don't get it on LittleBigPlanet Delayed Due To Qur'an-Sampling Audio · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More people will be offended by the delay of the game! In fact, when I heard the news I let loose a stream of offensive words... causing even more offense. Oh sweet irony.

  16. Re:like me on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    In summary: You're a hipster.

  17. Re:SURPRISED! on Surprisingly Few People Collect On GTA Hot Coffee · · Score: 1

    Slashdot prefers to call that redundancy.
    Backup in case part of the comments are lost in a crash.
  18. Sensitivity on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...rifles and bell towers?
    Too soon!
  19. Re:Challenge? Why on Teen Phone Phreak Targeted by the FBI · · Score: 1

    The author mistakenly thought that being blind means "unable to be seen." Arresting and prosecuting an invisible juvenile would be a challenge.

  20. It's amazing on Blade Runner, The Final Cut · · Score: 2, Informative

    Saw it at the Ziegfeld in NYC. It looks and sounds incredible. Changes are quite minor, no Lucasing here. The best part was the remastered picture and audio. If you are a fan, you'll love it. If you are a nitpicking wiener, you'll hate everything, so stay at home and register your complaints on a message board.

  21. Can we get a spoiler alert? on Inside the NES Worlds of Power Series · · Score: 2, Funny

    Some of us are still working on the game!

  22. Re:Patent Sanity? on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 1
    It's patently insane.
    After reading that I immediately heard a "Laugh-In"/"You can't do that on Television" style musical queue.
  23. Re:It will only get worse - About That Gas Party? on Epicrealm Uses Vague Patents to sue Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Candy gives you gas?
    Your parents must have barred you from trick-or-treating.
    ;)

  24. Re:Whois info for Blogebrity.Com on The World of Blogebrities · · Score: 1

    Interesting exchange at Sean Bonner's blog.

  25. Re:Easy one: Wash it! on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 1

    You can clean a normal keyboard the "normal" way as well. Just make sure it's good and dry before you plug it in again.*
