  1. Burnt out... on MIT Wirelessly Powers a Lightbulb · · Score: 4, Funny


    Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.


    Apparently the power supply failed.

  2. Linuzzz? on Microsoft and LG Electronics Sign Linux Covenant · · Score: 1

    WTF is Linuzzz?

  3. Re:As I'm sure all Slashdot readers will recall on Jeremy Allison On Why DRM Will Never Work · · Score: 4, Informative

    Kirk has your back and he's got fucking proton torpedo's and an itchy trigger finger.

    <PEDANTIC;>
    Actually, Luke Skywalker had the proton torpedos. Kirk had photon torpedos.

  4. Re:I knew it.. on Skin Cells Turned Embryonic · · Score: 1

    Well, you could always make a pizza joint out of them.

  5. Re:For security purposes perhaps. on Navy Now Mandated To Consider FOSS As an Option · · Score: 1

    I guess you're talking about the USS Yorktown.

  6. Re:Finally! An F-22 Problem? on Navy Now Mandated To Consider FOSS As an Option · · Score: 1

    I think the International Dateline was a red herring.

    I doubt *any* flight control system works on the local time of the location being overflown, but on Zulu (UTC) or on the local time of the point of origin.

    What's lost in this is that the Dateline is also longitude +/- 180. I'd argue that the NAV system software probably choked on the sign change of longitude.

  7. Re:er, huh? on Safemedia's CEO Tells Congress He Can Stop P2P · · Score: 1

    Accuracy: Clouseau is fully effective at forensically discriminating between legal and illegal P2P traffic with no false positives (i.e., identifying another protocol as the targeted protocol) whether encrypted or not

    Emphasis is mine.

    Maybe these guys should license their technology to DHS, NSA and CIA?

  8. Re:First one, then another ... on Microsoft Gives Xandros Users Patent Protection · · Score: 1

    Curse you and your spelling assisted Wikipedia!

  9. Re:I remember calling it on First Peek at Netscape Navigator 9 · · Score: 1

    No, I say "Insecure Exploder".

    Of course, I also call Outlook, "LookOut!"

  10. Re:Call me old-fashioned ... on How Private Are Sites' Membership Lists? · · Score: 1

    Depends. If you're Jewish, then you *did* sign a contract. Your Ketubah is a contract. Because a Jewish marriage is a contract, that's why you can't get married on Shabbat.

  11. Re:It's not blank. on RIAA Accused of Extortion & Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Or, "This space intentionally left blank, except for this sentence."

  12. Re:First one, then another ... on Microsoft Gives Xandros Users Patent Protection · · Score: 1

    To be precise, it's the Flavour-Aide of Fear.

  13. Re:His Position on McCain Wants Ballmer For His Cabinet · · Score: 1

    Secretary of Temper Tantrums. We don't have Ministries over here.

  14. OK, Mod me down.... on Battlestar Galactica's End Officially After Season 4 · · Score: 1

    Cylons: How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us!

    [note, I started the process with the No Karma Bonus checkbox]

  15. Re:Ok but... on Battlestar Galactica's End Officially After Season 4 · · Score: 1

    I believe it was stated that Pegasus was shut down in drydock, and that they barely got the ship up and running to escape.

  16. Re:This story need a car analogy on Launch Date Announced for Shuttle Mission STS-117 · · Score: 1

    Except that Bastille Day is in July.

  17. In other news... on Microsoft Sees No Conflicts With Patent Initiatives · · Score: 4, Funny
    • War is Peace
    • Freedom is Slavery
    • Ignorance is Strength

  18. Slashdotted already! on Fedora 7 Released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Can't find the release notes, they're already 404'ed from slashdotting.

  19. Re:I thought #defines were deprecated in C++ on How to Keep Your Code From Destroying You · · Score: 1

    #define SIX 1 + 5
    #define NINE 8 + 1
    printf("%d", SIX * NINE)
    Which helpfully prints "42" instead of 54.

    By Zarqon! You've solved the mystery of the Great Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything!
  20. OT: Your sig on Microsoft, Novell, and "Clone Product" Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Who the f*** decided that sentences on the Internet shall no longer be formatted with two spaces after a period?!

    Thank you. I learned typing the old-school way (on a manual typewriter), and we always used two spaces after a period. This, of course, assumed said period was the end of a sentence, and not merely part of an abbreviation.

  21. Re:You're guilty of clone products yourself Bill.. on Microsoft, Novell, and "Clone Product" Lawsuits · · Score: 1


    Microsoft invented/innovated everything in computing. Nobody had anything before Microsoft.

    It's life, Jim, but not as we know it!

    Oh, and there's Klingons off the starboard bow!

  24. Re:Give them what they want! on RIAA Seeks Royalties From Radio · · Score: 1

    I thought "Finger Lickin' Good" was trademarked by Kentucky Fried Chicken (before they became KFC).

  25. Re:Obligatory quote... on Microsoft, Sue Me First · · Score: 1

    So MS is the TechnoCore?

    Would that mean that Christian is Aenea or Endymion?
