  1. One thing I can't stand about anime on Must-See Films at L.A. Anime Festival · · Score: 1

    Is how often the plot consists of a lot of ..., mixed with some ..., but what really kills me is the overabundance of ... which is followed by annoying ...! After all, it's just a bunch of cartoons anyways.

  2. Be careful with the iGrill on George Foreman USB iGrill · · Score: 1

    ...because if you do a lot of cooking, the grease can cling to the underside of the unit and drip elsewhere, thus causing you to panic because of 'bad trap' errors...

  3. So, how old is Billy-boy, anyways? on Portable Pioneer Adam Osborne dead at 64 · · Score: 1

    He's in his 40s, right?

  4. Re:PC! on Junkyard Wars Wants You! · · Score: 1

    oh, for the love of...

    It's physically-challenged, you insensitive MCP clod!

  5. Re:A slight problem.... on Broadband over Powerlines · · Score: 1

    I sincerely hope it will be more reliable and more stable than those "modem over the power lines" devices that never worked for very long.

    One lightning strike and they needed repair. eesh.

  6. Re:Last Dune Series on Sci-fi Channel's Children of Dune · · Score: 1

    I preferred Kyle MacLachlan as Paul, but otherwise I agree with your assessment. I still chuckle because the role of Alia went to Alicia Witt

    The guy who played Gurney in the SciFi adaptation played the role like a drunken oaf. Patrick Stewart was worlds better in the role.

    I got really bored with Children of Dune, and I gave up on it about 100 pages in. I lost interest in reading the rest.

    I'm also waiting for the Prequel Book House Pancakes (from the book of Doon, by the Harvard Lampoon).

  7. NO, it wasn't on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 1

    The Challenger blew up on Jan 28th, 1986.

  8. The media wants quick answers on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    NASA probably has a good idea whaat happened, but it's pretty safe to assume that they won't speculate until they know for sure.

  9. Geez, get your mind out of the gutter on Banana to be Sequenced · · Score: 1

    Sometimes, a banana is just a banana.

    (Yes the original version of the comment referred to cigars. so?)

  10. Re:*Old Man Rant* on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 2

    Stone Slabs? Oh please! For our long term storage, we had to make marks in wet clay and wait for the clay to dry in the afternoon sun. Not only that, we were always worried that herds of wooly mammoths would wander by and stomp all over our data warehouse!

  11. So, what's the big deal? on Assorted CES Gizmos · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Has everyone forgotten the Toshiba Libretto? This new thing seems only marginally larger.

  12. This is just silly - Damn Straight! on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe you need to lighten up a little. You comment is exactly the point! Parody is freedom of expression, and I find many of them hilarious. Think of it along these lines: If Windows hadn't been sold commercially, I don't think this parody discussion regarding Bill Gates would have made it to /. If Linux hadn't made it as a viable operating system, I don't think making fun of it would be a /. topic. If Cowboy Neal hadn't helped make/provide Opinion Polls, his name wouldn't always be used as a joke option on /. Sorry, Thalcon, this topic is news for nerds, and apparently you don't get nerd humor. Maybe you can find a way to deal with that.

  13. Yeah, what about residual cancer? on Re-examining the Port Chicago Disaster · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Surely the survivors of the blast should have a cancer rate much higher than the normal population!

    Where are those statistics???

  14. Re:News? on First Human Clone Born? · · Score: 2

    Heh, I bet the Scientologists are calling them Whacky.

  15. Spawn More Overlords. on Starcraft · · Score: 5, Funny


    You've not enough minerals...

  16. Re:A funny country... on Kiwi Flight Before the Wright Brothers? · · Score: 2

    It's (the plane) only a model...

  17. Hey, at least RW gave us on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 2

    Virginia Hey, the touch female warrior who later went on to play Farscape's Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan!

    MMBT only gave us Tina Turner in a metal Bikini - attractive, but not quite the same thing!

  18. Re:All spammers on Another Millionaire Spammer Story · · Score: 2

    Judge: Is there anything you'd like to say before I render my verdict?
    Defendant: Yes, your Honor....Tubalcaine!
    Judge: I find in favor of the defendant. Case Dismissed!

  19. Re:Imagine ... on Mini PC in an Actual Lunchbox · · Score: 2

    ...A Beowolf Cafeteria of these!

  20. Finally the heretic will BURN on Galileo To Commit Mechacide · · Score: 1

    Ok, it's a few hundred years too late for the original, but at least we may burn his proxy for his crimes.

    Galileo's ideas are just not in sync with the Catholic Church. The Earth is the center of it all.

  21. "Bible" studies on Article about The Lord of the Rings MASSIVE Crowd · · Score: 1

    everyone I've talked to tells me it reminds them of the bible.

    No thanks.

  22. Why Exodus? on Welcome to the new Cluster · · Score: 1

    After all the various complaints about Exodus on your own board, I'm very surprised you chose to stick with 'em.

    What's their stock value now? 12 cents?

  23. Wah Wah Wah Poor Me! on Cathy Rogers Responds Without Crashing · · Score: 1

    I was hoping she'd answer my question ( see it). Alas, perhaps I should go shoot myself. Better yet, maybe I should construct a device that picks me up from inside a locked box on the sea bottom and then shoots me at a castle wall made of styrofoam blocks

  24. Semi-serious question on Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Have any (and if so, which) of the constructs ever made you fear for your own life? I'm surprised none of them have ever had a major meltdown that sent the crews fleeing the scene.

  25. So, does email do more than beep for email yet? on Mozilla 1.2 Beta Released · · Score: 2

    I'd love to know how to get it working for Linux. I tried suggestions found in bugzilla, but no dice in 1.1.

    In my office, I can't hear the PC beep. I'd like it to work through the speakers, if possible.

    Otherwise, I've not had complaints, and I've been using Moz since .8 or so...
