  1. Almost a wish come true on Futurama: Can it be True!? · · Score: 1

    Now if they can only ditch Matt Groening, all would be well in this perfect world.

    If the DVD commentaries are anything to go by, that guy's spends his time trampling over any ideas he doesn't immediately understand and blurting out random whims. At least he brings the money.

  2. Did slashdot get a mention? on 2004 Jefferson Muzzle Awards · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I can't see the site since /. "silenced" it.

  3. Re:Space Beams on Weapons in Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sure the Near Field Infrared Experiment (NFIRE) has a low-orbit only kill-vehicle now, but how long before it has an Electron Beam Device that can annihilate a person playing golf or taking a shower (possibly with company)?

    I'm sure there's some sort of reflective headgear you could wear to protect against this.

  4. Where are the inspectors now? on Weapons in Space · · Score: 0, Troll

    Someone really should search the U.S. fro WMDs.

  5. Porsche? on Spammer's Porsche Up For Grabs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Clearly he was responsible for those "Increase the site of your penis" mails.

  6. Rename? on Hitachi Shows Off A Fuel-Cell PDA · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not so much a "Palm Pilot" as a "Pocket Bomb".

  7. Re:Famine, Civil Wars, AIDS, Dictatorships. on Africa Source 2004 Wrap-ups · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or maybe this has nothing to do with Africa's problems. Just like every piece of code from the States is not concerned with narrowing the rich/poor divide or correcting the problems with a two-party system.

    Africa is a large continent; not everything that happens here is directly related to the CNN special you saw on it.

  8. Mirror on Google Updates Its Face · · Score: 5, Funny

    In case of Slashdotting, here is the Google cache.

  9. To answer the obvious question... on Buckyballs Kill Fish · · Score: 4, Funny

    Buckyballs are large, inflatable substitutes for banisters and cheese-boards. Traditionally carved out of frozen nougat, they are known to cause jealousy in lab rats.

  10. More of the same to come on A Law Show Set 25 Years from Now · · Score: 1

    Expect plenty more shows set in a bright and shiny future. Propaganda sucks, but at least it's predictable.

  11. Not nearly enough on Hitachi Announces 400GB Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    But 400G is only a fraction of the pr0n on the net. :(

  12. Other uses on New HP Drive Lets You Burn Your Own Label · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll bet it makes perfect toast too.

  13. Slashdotted on Two-Legged Home Robot, Coming Soon To Japan · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Here is a mirror for those who need it.

  14. Lawsuits on New Battlestar Galactica Series Greenlighted · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have they changed Starbuck's name to avoid and law suits?

  15. More Info on Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input · · Score: 5, Funny
    The Onion (www.theonion.com) has the full story:

    Majority Of Americans Thought We Already Had A Moon Base WASHINGTON, DC--A

    NASA poll conducted to gauge support for President Bush's space-exploration initiative revealed that a depressing 57 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. already has a research base on the moon. "We put that international space-station thing up there in the '60s," phone-poll respondent Randy Snow said. "It might be on Mars, but I think it's the moon--wherever they have the golf course that President Kennedy played on. Remember, the Cubans tried to take it over?" NASA officials said they hope someday to make Americans' perception a reality.

  16. Title? on New Microscope Shows Nano-Fibre Formation · · Score: 4, Funny

    Shouldn't that read "New Nanoscope Shows Nano-Fibre Formation"

  17. Worse than hail on Preempting Hailstone Formation To Protect Cars · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sure it will protect cars from hail, but what about all the falling pigeons?

  18. Point? on Is Your Silver-based Thermal Paste Really Silver? · · Score: 1
    Silver may be a great thermal conductor, but spreading it on your chips won't help much. You're just changing the problem from a chip-air interface to a chip-silver-air interface.

    Unless you're increasing the surface area, there won't be much improvement.

  19. Ugh... on Gaming Support Glove Mystifies, Thrills · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why bother even posting this article?

  20. Re:Another point of view... on Afghanistan Closes Videogame Stores · · Score: 1

    They've got to slow down a bit so that the masses can change along with everything else. Whoah there cowboy... It's not about being patient and giving them time to change over to a western lifestyle. It's about letting them do what ever the hell they want so long as it doesn't directly harm others. We're one bit mixing pot, like a stew. Not a block of homogenous non-toxic meat-product, like spam.

  21. What is a Resum�? on Resume Spamming Creates Storage, Legal Snags · · Score: 1

    Personally, my skill-set and career-history can only be adequately described with two tonnes of angry African white rhino. Words on paper simply will not do me justice. Let's see them store that.

  22. Re:Simple... it's antiwater on Water Flows Uphill · · Score: 1, Funny

  23. Re:The Facts on Call for Papers: Chaos Communication Camp 2003 · · Score: 1

    This gets tired fast. How would you feel if *every* post about the US was followed by a string of KKK references. If you were *only* ever treated as the son/grandson of a KKK member, if not a member yourself. How would you find it, you racist, violent piece of white trailer-trash? It's not so funny, is it?

  24. Re:The Facts on Call for Papers: Chaos Communication Camp 2003 · · Score: 1

    How does this kind of ignorant racism get moded up? We can't always avoid bigots like this guy, but we can at least stop encouraging them.

  25. Re:Sweet!!! on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 2, Funny
