  1. You had better jump on this right away... on Getting Off NetHack? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your girlfriend is in a dark room. She is most likely being eaten by a grue.

  2. Re:Reading on How to Write Comments · · Score: 0

    To give good Karma
    Mod the parent insightful
    Funny does not count

  3. What about Linux newsgroups? on Requiem for Usenet · · Score: 0

    I've had no problems with the comp.os.linux.* newsgroups.
    Sure, you see more problems in the alt.* groups, but you can run across goatse and other trolls on Slashdot too.

  4. Re:Unlike the people in the skit... on New Lemur Species Named After John Cleese · · Score: 0

    What if they get attacked by someone with a pointed stick?

  5. Why the fuss? on Search for Copernicus Over · · Score: 0

    Why was everyone so intent on finding this guy after so long.

    It's not like he was the center of the universe. ;-)

  6. Re:Power versus Frequency on World's Most Powerful Subwoofer · · Score: 0

    I hear he likes several GNU wave groups.

  7. Re:what about WINE? on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 0

    It works. I had office running on Wine in KDE on my Slackware box. The Office assistant, "Clippy" showed up under a KDE window. I'll have to take a screenshot.

  8. Parrots and computers on Making Your PC Dust Free? · · Score: 0

    I have parrots too. Cockatoo dust is the worst to try and filter. I just vacuum the dust out every month and use compressed air to blow out the case comletely. Be sure to unplug your machine first. I had too much dust in the air and BBQ'd my power supply when I left mine plugged in. Incidently, my Grey learned "son of a bitch" on that occasion.

    If you want a cheap filter, use your girlfriends or wifes old nylons duct taped to the case in front of the fans. (Or, since you have a slashdot ID and parrots, just buy the nylons yourself. I kid, I kid.)

  9. Re:Company in trouble on When to Leave That First Tech Job · · Score: 0

    You're modded funny, but I know people who worked at MarchFirst in Chicago. It's very true you're company is in trouble when they announce on payday that the paychecks will be going out late.

    Same thing about the accountant/company executives loading office equipment into their cars.

  10. Re:Brilliant on The Mind of an Inventor · · Score: 0

    I've seen the Babble tested in my office.
    When you talk on the phone, it plays loops of a script that you record on it. While the noises coming out of the speakers are intelligible, the person talking on the phone was clearly understood both by the other person on the line and by the persons cube neighbors. The way this device seems most effective is by annoying anyone within earshot enough to make them move far enough away so they couldn't hear you in the first place.

    We did have a lot of fun testing it though.

  11. Re:Fungus alien on Parasites That Can Control Insect Minds · · Score: 0

    I'm afraid that ANY movie involving fungus and underwear doesn't sound very appealing.

  12. Re:DUPE on Half-Terabyte Hard Drive Reviewed · · Score: 0

    Don't you mean it's duplexed?

  13. Re:To clarify... on FCC Considers Deregulation of DSL · · Score: 0

    Yep, the co-branded SBC/Yahoo was a problem for me. When I cancelled my DSL service because the download speeds never broke 20kBs, I got hit with a $150 cancellation fee. I called SBC customer service and was told I agreed to the fee when I accepted the software license agreement. I got a manager on the line with me and made him stick around for an hour and a half while customer service tried to find that part of the agreement I signed. They eventually found it an hour and a half later on page 84 of the agreement. I cancelled my SBC phone service that day.

  14. Re:Ok, I'm confused on this... on South Korean Scientists Clone Dog · · Score: 0

    In Korea, only old people teach the new dog.

  15. Re:Just not the same. on Large Scale Production of Artificial Meat · · Score: 0

    Vegitables are living things too, they're just easier to catch than animals.

  16. Re:Oh. Great. on Looking at a Martian Aurora Borealis · · Score: 0

    Does this mean Beowulf clusters finally have a catagory of their own?

    Where's the Cowboy Neil option?

  18. Forget DVORAK and QWERTY... on New Standard Keyboard · · Score: -1, Redundant

  21. New Sims add-on? on Sims 2 Hacks Spread Like Viruses · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sims are suddenly comfortable with open relationships, and the social worker no longer cares how they treat their children.

    Does this mean that EA will be releasing a Jerry Springer add-on for the Sims?

  22. Illinois earthquake on Infrasound, Elephants and Earthquake Detection · · Score: 1

    There was a 4.2 in Illinois on June 28 last year.
    It happened late at night and woke me out of a sound sleep. What really got me up was the noise that my two parrots were making in their cages. They were both clinging to the ceilings of their cages and didn't want to touch down on the ground. It took about 15 minutes to calm them down and go back to bed. It was probably just the shaking of their cages that got them worked up.

  23. Re:Sesame Street on Learning a Foreign Language with The Sims · · Score: 1

    And that's number "huit" for those of you who watch Sesame Street north of the US.

  24. Re:Strange questions.... on 2004 MN4 Asteroid Odds Inching Up Again · · Score: 1

    we may no longer have the so-called "Man in the Moon",

    The Man in the Moon would look less like Ralph Cramden and more like Goatse.

    With Linux Clusters, Seeing Is Believing

    Does this mean that we don't have to just imagine a Beowulf cluster anymore?
