  1. Opinion on The Aging of Our Nuclear Power Plants Is Not So Graceful · · Score: 1

    Note that this is an opinion not backed up by references. It smells like B.S., and I'm not talking Bank Speak.

  2. Spongy Bastard on The Glorious Return of the Twinkie · · Score: 1

    Tallahassee: "Oh, this Twinkie thing, it ain't over yet. Where are you, you spongy, yellow, delicious bastards?"

  3. Re:Slightly Off Topic, But A Worse Situation on Ask Slashdot: Is an Online Identity Important When Searching For Technical Jobs? · · Score: 1

    If you're talking about Facebook, create your own Facebook page with your clear portrait profile photo, 'friend' your friends and family, update your work history, so they know it's you and not the other person. Be sure you create an unique non-ambiguous Facebook URL, like mine: https://www.facebook.com/Craig.A.Lance

    If it's your own website, put your own portrait photo up; add the same e-mail address that you use to send resumés out with.

    Personally, I choose to place the following in my "About Me" section of Facebook:
    "To prospective employers: This is my personal wall and has absolutely no reflection on how I perform my job.
    Shame on you for peeking.
    Now, get back to work evaluating me as a future employee, please."

  4. Re: As the song asks... on Ask Slashdot: Is an Online Identity Important When Searching For Technical Jobs? · · Score: 1

    You should've said, "...is ONLY tweeting...". I tweet, Facebook, and have built my own website from scratch using PHP and Drupal technology.

  5. Note to Employers on Ask Slashdot: Is an Online Identity Important When Searching For Technical Jobs? · · Score: 1

    In my, "About You" section, I include this statement: "To prospective employers: This is my personal wall and has absolutely no reflection on how I perform my job. Shame on you for peeking. Now, get back to work evaluating me as a future employee, please."

  6. Minority Report on The Increasing Role of Predictive Analysis In Police Work · · Score: 1

    Mr. Marks, by mandate of the District of Columbia Precrime Division, I'm placing you under arrest for the future phone hacking of Sarah Marks and Donald Dubin that was to take place today, April 22 at 0800 hours and four minutes.

  7. So close to Columbine on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    It's no coincidence that the Century 16 Cinema in Aurora, CO, where this shooting took place is less than 21 miles from Columbine High School where on April 20, 1999, gunfire killed 12 students and 1 teacher. Suburbs of Denver, Colorado are getting a reputation for being the Wild West.

  8. Time Wasting!!! on Top Facebook Apps Violate Privacy Terms · · Score: 1

    I've got nine hours to harvest my Peanut Butter & Jelly co-op in order to earn my Biplane, so I can easily fertilize my crops, pal! If fly-by spreading of sh|t far and wide over virtual crappy crops isn't more important than sending out resumés, than I'll be a Facebook CEO!

  9. Floride in children's ice cream? on Super-fast Transistors On the Way · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ripper: A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard core commie works. Mandrake: Jack... Jack, listen, tell me, ah... when did you first become, well, develop this theory. Ripper: Well, I ah, I-I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love. From Dr. Strangelove

  10. Thong Wrong on Strange iPod Accessories · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How do you access the iPod wheel?

  11. eBay Alternative on eBay Bans Google Payments · · Score: 1
  12. Shotgun Solution on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1
  13. Bush's new plan for border control on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    Of course, they'll wait until after prime picking season.

  14. Keyboard Error on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1

    When I was working at a computer store, a man came in complaining that his keyboard was broke. He set the box on the counter, I opened it, took the keyboard out, and water poured out. He explained that his secretary accidentally spilled a cup of water in it. Yah, right.

  15. Devil's Job Outsourced on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's now occupied by Kenneth Lay.

  16. Re:Show some humanity on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    He was evil, plain and simple; his family benefited from his thieving.

  17. Comment worthy of late night comedy on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    My compliments!

  18. Bush to allow Lay to lay-in-state on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to hear Bush's comments on Lay's passing.

  19. Re:I won't believe it.... on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

  20. This will not get you laid. on Bellagio Fountains Recreated with Mentos and Coke · · Score: 1

    I hope they realize that no woman with an hour glass figure...oh, what the hell am I saying...no woman with a pulse would consider going all the way with these geeks.

  21. From Ork on Honda Robot Controlled By Brain Waves · · Score: 1

    ...then merging that "V" sign with the humans and spouting, "Nanu, nanu."

  22. Re:Just be better on Lessons from the Browser Wars · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is a naive point of view. Harvard Business School trains the next great CEOs of American business. The lessons of Enron have taught us that executives can have a devastating impact on the lives of everyone inside and outside a large corporation, from white to blue collar, the educated to the techno-challenged; across markets as well. Watch Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and then decide for yourself who gets screwed when Harvard is disregarded.

  23. Re:NONONONONO! on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 1

    ...Oh, and taught myself 6502 assembly. I can't imagine now programming a CPU with only two increment registers (X and Y) and only one accumulator (A), and no multiplication/division.

    What's worse is having to reload you assembly program from cassette each time it crashes.

    And do you remember the OmniMon?

  24. Re:NONONONONO! on Software Distribution By Vinyl · · Score: 1

    A fellow Atari 800 owner...hated loading programs from cassette. However, I bought the Rana drive and was never disappointed!

    I remember that summer well. I was 17 and never made it out of the house, just programmed and played games all day...and I lived a few blocks from the beach. Sounds pathetic, but I had taught myself to program BASIC XL that summer.

  25. Christmas Submerged on Alvin Submersible Retired After 40 Years Work · · Score: 1
    Okay Simon?
    Okay.

    Okay Theador?
    Okay.

    Okay Alvin?
    Alvin?
    • Alvin!?!
    Okay!

    Christmas, Christmas time is near.
    Time for toys and time for cheer.

    We've been good, but we can't last.
    Hurry, Christmas, hurry fast!

    Want a plane that loops the loop.

    Me, I want a hula hoop.
    We can hardly stand the wait.
    Please, Christmas, don't be late.
