  1. Re:Worldwide Aurora on The New York Times On Earth's Magnetic Flip-Flop · · Score: 1

    Except we won't get a chance to see it because we'll mutate into a race of mole-men.

  2. Re:Ice vs Deep Sea on Antarctic Lake Actually Two in One · · Score: 1

    I have read that many interesting creatures are in deep sea where we cannot quite reach.

    How do we know if there are interesting creatures down there if we can't reach them?

  3. Re:balance of terror continuity... on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean the Reimans? You know, the evil clan of calculus weilding mathmongers that torture young humans with mind numbing lectures. Oops, sorry, freshman 8am calc lecture flashback, though I still can't understand how one can have flashbacks of situations slept thru.

  4. Re:'Secret history'? on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 1

    Or maybe they could save money by booking the flight with Priceline.com?

  5. Re:Uh.... on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 5, Funny

    That sounds supisciously like Sci-Fi pr0n to me.

  6. Re:Scam Prevention on 419 Scam Blow-by-Blow · · Score: 1

    Because all the elderly Americans are still to upset with Bill Knapps going under to pay any attention.

  7. Re:Hmm on 419 Scam Blow-by-Blow · · Score: 1

    Ahh, prostitution then.

  8. Re:Article quote: on 419 Scam Blow-by-Blow · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like the new scam where for only $49.99 you can have access to a website that will show you how to avoid internet scams. Wait, that sounds like a good idea. I call DMCA first dibs.

  9. Re:Ashworth the Enlightened on Ghenghis Khan Descendants Eat For Free · · Score: 1

    Your not speaking in code are you? I figured it out. Just substitute G.W. Bush for Genghis and the good ol' U.S. of A. for the mongols. You and your tricky trick of codes.

  10. Re:Ob Bill & Ted's quote... on Ghenghis Khan Descendants Eat For Free · · Score: 1

    Are you talking about the Khan clan or John Kerry and the Democrats?

  11. Re:"Chefs desperately fleeing UK" . . . on Ghenghis Khan Descendants Eat For Free · · Score: 1

    But I doubt that the UK is exporting a taste for kidney pie, cornish pasties, bangers & mash, eel, or haggis.

    Just as much as the fine citizens of Maryland export a taste for a 40oz. of 'Natty Bo' and a heapin' helpin' of scrapple.

  12. Re:khan! on Ghenghis Khan Descendants Eat For Free · · Score: 1

    Maybe they also test if you are descendant of Ricardo Montalban? Welcome to Fantasy Is...I mean Welcome to Shish..

  13. Re:If they had a wisk broom... on Mars Rovers Alive Until 2005? · · Score: 1

    Maybe if they mounted a PC case on the top of the rover, it would suck up all the dust. My PC case seems to suck up lots of dust.

  14. Re:If they had a wisk broom... on Mars Rovers Alive Until 2005? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wow, it took two engineers to come up with the idea that some device to remove the dust from the solar panels would greatly improve mission longevity? This wasn't at some sort of Mensa meeting was it?

  15. Re:If they had a wisk broom... on Mars Rovers Alive Until 2005? · · Score: 2, Funny

    There weren't any Martians to outsource the job to.

  16. Re:Did do like his buddy Stevie on THX-1138: The (Digitally Enhanced) Director's Cut · · Score: 1

    Maybe he could also put in a white guy with his face painted black and talks like mush mouth from Fat Albert.

  17. Re:some questions on SpaceshipOne's Control Problem Fixed · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think this has great potential with the overweight 'epidemic' happening in the developed world as well. Instead of counting calories, Atkins, Hershey's Syrup & mashed potato diet, etc., we can ship the fat people to the moon or other low gravity settlement and they can live like Baron Harkonnen from Dune.

  18. Re:Chaos and Unpredictability on SpaceshipOne's Control Problem Fixed · · Score: 1

    But I think there is even more to be said for simplicity.

  19. Re:They never mention percentage of users impacted on Akamai: How They Fought Recent DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    why bother to err on the side of negativity?

    Because that's what makes it Slashdot (me puts on tinfoil hat and underpants).

  20. Re:Trade-Off on Akamai: How They Fought Recent DDoS Attacks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least now in federal courts, any monetary damages used to determine sentencing must now be presented and supposedly proven in front of a jury during the trial. Much better than the federal prosecution creating huge dollar sum damages during the sentencing phase with little burden of proof. I guess the Supreme Court gets something right every so often (much like the blind squirrel and his nuts I guess).

  21. Re:MacOS classic? on Akamai: How They Fought Recent DDoS Attacks · · Score: 3, Funny

    a Mac running Classic on a beefy box

    You mean like a Quadra 950 (~35lbs.) or a pallet of hamburger helper?

  22. Re:867-5309 on Clever Caller ID Tricks With VoIP · · Score: 1

    Jen-nee, Caller ID is like a box of choc-o-lots, you never know what you're going to get.

  23. Re:The Bill Itself on Senate Takes Aim At P2P Providers · · Score: 1

    This is classic. This is a work of art in and of itself. Given the subjects of P2P software, Oliver Twist, save the children, Sony Betamax, pornography, viral redistribution and 'nothing to fear' and to come up with a document such as this is amazing. I don't think Orwell could have dreamed up better doublespeak. Oh the humanity, save the helpless street children from the luring 'child-catcher' Kazaa. Orin Hatch is my hero. I for one look forward to serving my political bullshitting corporate sponsored overlords.

  24. Re:10 DVDs? on Ten-disc 'Matrix' DVD Box Set Planned · · Score: 2, Funny

    EXCELLENT!!!

  25. Re:Many applications! on New Radar Sees Through Walls · · Score: 1

    Or maybe 'Airwolf'. We'll fight for freedom, wherever there's trouble...
