    "I'll give you my Doritos when you pry them from my cold, dead hands!"

    You mean your cold, dead, deliciously orange-stained hands.

    It's not exactly new. (And I have a server from 2001

    Cool, will it do that "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. " line for you whenever you want?

    Cause I'd be yelling about pod bay doors all day long if it will.

  3. Re:Sense (or Sense inspired) all the way on Details of Android 3.0, SIP, Video Chat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sense is slick - but I switched to CM6 ( Cyanogen Mod 6.00, an Android Open Source Project based rom ) and was surprised that I didn't really miss anything that Sense had given me. I had already switched away from the very nice weather/clock widget because its weather was not very current and everything else is nearly equivalent. ( Sprint HTC Hero, not the newest/fastest phone but very snappy with CM6 and only slight overclocking )

  4. Re:payback on The Verizon Wireless HTC Eris 'Silent Call Bug' · · Score: 1

    It isn't just the Eris, the HTC Hero does the same things since the 2.1 update. I wonder if it is happening to other models - I have only been following the Hero forums to see if there is any fix before I update to 2.1.

  5. Re:Already seems obsolete.... on First Pandora Console Reaches Customer · · Score: 1

    The battery is a dog (10+ hours of gaming),

    I guess that was inevitable with last week's story about rat-batteries:
    http://slashdot.org/submission/1240590/Scientists-Implant-Biofuel-Cells-Into-Rats
    but I'd be worried about the size of the thing, and having to carry plastic bags to pick up after your Pandora console.
    Maybe it's based on one of the tiny pocket-sized dogs?

    No, I am sure they can manage all three: high speed, high efficiency, high cost. No problem.

    "It would be similarly suspicious if someone went out of their way to use the store exit that didn't have the RFID tag sensors, but ONLY after being told that exit didn't have them."

    Wait, that is perfectly acceptable. If selecting that exit is considerecd either a crime, or something worth detaining and searching me over, then I would never visit that store again and I would make sure to encourage others not to visit it either.

    Instead, get a boat and plan on eating a lot of fish for a while.

    What about the zombie fish? You will be fighting them off day and night.

  12. measure your fridge from the air? on Laser Cannons Coming to an F-16 Near You · · Score: 5, Funny

    and measures the size of a large fridge. Cool! Lasers have been used for measurement before, but I bet this is the first time the military has been able to measure your fridge in your kitchen from 20,000 feet. The small hole in the kitchen ceiling is a small price to pay for this protection from oversize fridges.

    Just curious, this Starbucks doesn't contain remarkably similar looking people to the one you are currently in?

    Wait, I have one in the drawer here. About 3 feet.

  16. Sprint is good on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 1

    Sprint offered a $60 rebate on their pcs phones, and I bought two. I might have forgotten about the rebate when the information came in the mail, but a year later I started looking at the old statments to see if it had ever been applied. Nothing....

    I called their customer support and they told me that the rebate program had expired. I was prepared to yell but they continued with "so I'll talk to my supervisor and see what we can do". In a minute the supervisor came on the line and promised to get the check in the mail the next day.

    In a week I had my check for $120!
