  1. how dare you on Failing Ocean Current Raises Fears of Mini Ice Age · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone wanted to validate the [bogus] science behind the moview "The Day After".

    It's not just a moview. It's a documentary of the future.

  2. if drugs were as plentiful as spam on Cybercrime More Lucrative Than Drugs · · Score: 1

    the world would be a better place

  3. DUR DUR DUR DUR!!!! on Sony Completes First Full-Length Blu-ray Disc · · Score: 0, Troll

    I bet SONY put a ROOTKIT on there!!!

    I am so witty and clever in making this totally unique joke!

  4. Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy on Lie Detectors to be Used for Airline Security · · Score: 1

    to see me?

  5. ARE YOU KIDDING? on CNN's Game Over On The 360 · · Score: 1

    What revolutionary title did the [Gamecube] launch with?

    Uhh... a little game called -- SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE? You know, the BEST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE? Perhaps you've heard of it. If not, I pitty you.

  6. Why don't they just rewrite everything for Cocoa? on Google Hiring Programmers to Work on OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    Get serious man. Adobe doesn't do it. Macromedia doesn't do it. Nobody's going to put that much work just to make the fanboys happy. Quick ports along the lines of NeoOffice are about the best we can expect, I'd say...

  7. His mouth became cunnilingual. on Can Your Mouth Become Multilingual? · · Score: 0

    Well, my daily oral-sex post is complete. I think I'll go mod up some trolls now...

  8. No, the U.S. is becoming anti-blasphemy. on Is The U.S. Becoming Anti-Science? · · Score: 1

    This should be obvious to anyone that isn't a heathen.

  9. Too little too late. on Microsoft Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 1

    [Bill Gates] giant told the BBC that its ambition is to be bigger than Google in search.

    Search is less and less a part of what Google does these days. They're becoming more of an information service than a search engine. Maybe by the time Microsoft gets their act together, they'll be able to tackle what is a minor and irrelevant part of Google's business model.

  10. BMW's prototype H2 car is IC. on Honda Fuel Cell Concept with Home H2 Refueling · · Score: 1

    The nice thing is that when you run out of hydrogen, the same engine can burn gasoline.

  11. Someone's gotta say it. on Original BeOS Developer Now at Trolltech · · Score: 1

    It's not 1996. BeOS isn't that cool anymore. Mac OS X is the new BeOS.

  12. I HAVE THE PERFECT PHONE FOR YOU on Sony Ericsson's P990 Smartphone Released · · Score: 1

    LG 4010 -- it's about 2cm thick when closed, flip-phone, black and white display. Not a lot of expandability, but you can get one unlocked on eBay for about $30.

    I used this phone because I wanted a small/thin flip phone. Last week I upgraded to the Panasonic X800

  13. I still can't believe it. on MySQL Moves to Prime Time · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Slashdot is using CSS. It's so polished.

    Totally off-topic, I know. But it just struck me for some reason (cognac may have had something to do with it).

  14. I think a laptop would be a better choice... on Dell Offering "Open" PC · · Score: 1

    The types of folks who want to set up a linux workstation will probably just build the machine. However, building a laptop is more difficult. Selling laptops with blank disks would be a good move, IMO.

  15. Hold that flame! on Too Many Passwords · · Score: 1

    Pyramid like the old pyramid should be the old FOOD pyramid.

  16. Re:The password pyramid on Too Many Passwords · · Score: 1

    I don't think pyramid means what you think it means.

    Pyramid like the old pyramid, or a pyramid scheme... The lower down the rank you go, the more places you use that password. I guess it's more of a triangle, if you wanna be a dick about it.

  17. The password pyramid on Too Many Passwords · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At the top, are your ultra secure passwords that you only use for your bank / brokerage / etc. At the next level down, is your password that you use on all your personal computers, encrypted volumes, shell account, etc. Below that, is your password that you use for stuff you login to over the internet and don't want other people logging into (e-commerce, etc). Below that, is the one you use for crap you couldn't care less if people use (nytimes.com, etc.).

    If you follow that system, you'll end up with only half a dozen passwords or so, and you'll still be pretty secure, as the important passwords aren't used as often as the less important ones.

  18. Now they just need to integrate the web browser... on Mozilla Lightning Plans to Unify Mail & Calendar · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...and a web content composer, and maybe a crappy IRC client to boot.

  19. Soooooo lame, make it stop! on MasterCard To Distribute RFID Credit Cards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    by simply waving their cards at readers posted near cash registers

    Is it just me, or is waving your card in front of a reader pretty much the exact same motion as swiping it in a slot?

  20. Re:Simple question: on Hydrogen Generating Module to Help Your Car? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Eh.. guess you didn't ever take high school chemistry, no? If you read the article, you'll see that the unit is driven by the vehicle's battery/electrical system. Maybe a quick study on electrolysis would help you understand the simple mechanics here.

    I think the poster knows how electrolysis works. I think this is what he's talking about, though: The car's battery is kept charged by the alternator, which is driven by the crank. You put more current-drawing stuff in the electrical system, you put more stress on the alternator, making it harder to turn. So, it's quite possible that the extra power you get from the hydrogen is consumed by the increased alternator load required to produce the hydrogen.

  21. Amazing! on Dell Releases First Consumer Product with Mandriva · · Score: 1

    Dell ships laptops with Linux
    Dell stops shipping laptops with Linux
    Dell starts shipping with Linux again... and it's a "milestone"

  22. All that matters... on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Can I play Smash Brothers with this?

    From the first looks it seems like that's going to be difficult, but I guess I'll just have to try it first.

  23. Re:Sweet mother of God on Mambo Changes its Name to Joomla! · · Score: 2, Funny

    a nonsense word that any adult would feel embarrassed to say out loud

    Technically, you don't say it so much as you exclaim it.

  24. The easy way to do it... on Blocking a Nation's IP Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...just put a bunch of stuff on your website advocating a free and democratic China. They'll block it for you.

  25. I got a better idea for GM... on GM Claims Advanced Cruise Control By 2008 · · Score: 1

    ...make cars that are more efficient and last longer. Then, they actually might stand a chance against the Japanese and Germans.
