    But at least it will be in a place that doesn't show, right Bubba?

  4. how small is a nanometer? on Nanotechnology Gets Finer · · Score: 1, Redundant

    circuitry width of 55 nanometers, or billionths of a meter,

    55 of them to be exact.

    Brotught to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.

  5. Impossible on Free Software Foundation Begins Rewriting the GPL · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    He and his ego cannot fit inside any commercial jet. The Air Force has graciously loaned him a C-5A, though reports are, it's a tight fit.

  6. Re:Bread Builders! on Yet Another Holiday Gift Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unglazed Mexican quarry tile is an order of magnitude cheaper than a commercial pizza stone. The bottom rock of my oven is essentially continuous tile with a 1" gap around the sides for air flow. I can't comment on Pizza Crust, but I can make some of the best artisan bread you can get without a commercial steam-injection oven.

  7. Re:You didn't mention... on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    That usually only works if your girlfriend works in Public Relations.

  8. Re:Sheesh! on The ESRB Gets An 'F' · · Score: 0, Troll

    You're right. I cared enough to read the summary and decide that I don't care one fucking bit about how computer gamnes get rated and who happens to like or dislike who in the rating process.

    Were you able to figure that out from my first posting or did you need this one to clarify it for you?

  9. Sheesh! on The ESRB Gets An 'F' · · Score: 4, Funny

    NIMF: You suck!
    ESRB: You suck more!
    NIMF: Your mother wears army boots!
    ESRB: Your sister swims after troop ships!

    Does any adult really give a flying fig? Oh wait, the Slashdot demographic is... never mind.

  10. English comp was never my strong subject on The Yellow Machine in Review · · Score: 0, Redundant

    We recently had heard in the office over one of the Yellow Machine that's made by Anthology Solutions.

    Somebody please parse this sentence for me?

    Pretty please?

  11. Be careful! Never tell the hand to... on Bionic Hands to Become a Reality Soon? · · Score: 1

    jerk it off.

  12. Re:Google News on Why Does Beta Last So Long? · · Score: 1

    Google's 3 yr beta would never hold up to scrutiny as an "unreleased" product.

  13. Re:Google News on Why Does Beta Last So Long? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Any good forensic accountant can determine whether or not Google is generating a profit from Google News. The term "beta" provides no legal protection in that regard.

  14. Re:Another reason to say no on Just Say No to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Then your outcome is the result of stupidty, illiteracy or laziness, since, as others have poointed out, the process of getting a new activation code is easy.

  15. Re:Another reason to say no on Just Say No to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Most "regular Joes" don't change their boot drive.

  16. Re:Another reason to say no on Just Say No to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Guess what? Microsoft has a whole process devoted to people who have changed their hdd and now have problems re-registering. It's been a while since I checked, but that process (or a pointer to it) used to be denoted on the page that comes up when you encounter a problem registering.

    Your posting sounds a lot more like incorrect bitching about a fictional problem than a real-life experience.

  17. Re:You're in the minority. on Darwin Evolving Into A Tricky Exhibit · · Score: 1

    that we see comes from secular northern environmentalists, animal rights activists, and so on -- in a word, the complete opposite of your idiotic stereotype.

    Like PETA spokespeople and wanna-be hippies that live in trees? Yeah, real intellectual giants, those.

  18. Re:Most disturbing..... on Darwin Evolving Into A Tricky Exhibit · · Score: 1

    Really. So companies are not donating to this exhibit, but it is not due to religous extremism? So what is it due to?

    Controversy. Most companies try to avoid the unnecessary type.

  19. Re:S15S on Movies in Fifteen Minutes · · Score: 0

    You left out the part where the pass the bong around

  20. Re:"Say Sayonara to Blurry Pics"??? on Refocusable Plenoptic Light-Field Photography · · Score: 1

    You can already do this. It's called stopping down the lens.

  21. Re:Just like in movies and TV! on Refocusable Plenoptic Light-Field Photography · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Newsflash! You can sharpen an image using software.

  22. Nice work of fiction on Google's Secret Plans For All That Dark Fiber? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Has anyone given any thought to how many of these peering points have excess power capacity for 5000 Opterons? Hmmmmm?

  23. Re:But what have they done recently? on Apache Comes With Too Much Community Overhead? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually, yes. I am part of the Spamassassin development effort.

  24. They must be doing something wrong on Apache Comes With Too Much Community Overhead? · · Score: 4, Funny

    After all, it's not like they created one of the most popular open source apps of all time or anything like that.
