  2. Re:When's Trolling Going to be a Paid Job? on Blogging For Paychecks · · Score: 0

    Sorry. That is seasonal work. You have to wait for election season.

  3. Crap on Wal-Mart Turns Over DVD Rentals to Netflix · · Score: 1

    I switched from Netflix to Walmart due to Netflix's poor quality control. I worked with their system and Netflix's ultimate response was to stop complaining. You can only reuse those DVDs so many times before they get worn out due to mailing & poor handling from other customers. Now I am stuck with them again.

  4. Re:Personal Story on Spam Capital of the World · · Score: 1

    Aaahhh. Come on. No phone numbers for the spammers?

  5. Peer Pressure on Handling Viruses in an Uncontrolled Network? · · Score: 1

    Let everyone else do the work for you. Post their names next to the outage. It should pretty much solve itself from there.

  6. Not again on U.S. Rejects Canadian Rejection of DMCA · · Score: 1

    The last time we pissed off the Candians they burned the White House down.

    Thanks a lot Bush.

  7. I can't make it right now. on Time Travelers' Convention · · Score: 1

    I'm too busy. I might have time to squeeze it in after I retire though.

    By the way, great idea. Make it as popular as possible so that everybody materializes all at once in the same place in a bloody mess. That's why we can't find any evidence of time travelers. They all died at the time-traveler's convention.

  8. Re:Barely Funny on The Institute for Backup Trauma · · Score: 1

    OK. Who gave the livevault guys a bunch of mod points. Just because I got modded down, doesn't suddenly make the video or website funny.

    I mean crap, we've got backup guys dropping like flies, running around literally waving their hands in the air howling like monkeys, laughing like maniacs and this is the best they can come up with?

  9. Barely an ad on The Institute for Backup Trauma · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hey slashdot editor, small typo on the brief. You typed "Barely an ad" when you really meant to say "Barely Funny".

    This should be classified as a jokoid with a heavy does of advertisement browbeating.

    I hope Cleese got paid well for the damage done to his reputation.

  10. Godwin's law on Steve Ballmer Responds to Discrimination Issue · · Score: 1

    Google cache of Wikipedia Godwin's Law explained (Wiki isn't working well at the moment)

  11. Obligatory on Daleks Return to Dr Who · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well I don't know about you, but I for one welcome our new... aaah crap, that one actually makes sense.

  12. Re:Gays in the sciences today? on Turing's Original Test Played First Time Ever · · Score: 1

    You are missing the point. It's not if the professors are gay or straight. It's the fact that they just don't have sex at all.

  13. What? on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 1

    Nobody is going to bother posting a link the the mirror of this article?

  14. Illegal to insite on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 1

    So if this passes it would be illegal for me to tell everyone on slashdot that they are all hopeless nerds with no hope of getting laid.

  15. $3,060,000 open source fiction show on Can Sci-Fi Fans Face the Future? · · Score: 1

    So they have $3,060,000 saved up and teams of rabid fans. Why not create an opensource science fiction story of your own. Drop the Trek and everything else & create good fiction folklore from the ground up (and maybe borrow from public domain fiction)

  16. Re:Er, no, not really on Google Calendar Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    I've had issues with that this past week myself. It filled up over a gig of smartycache data in an hour. I had to cut down my smartycache retention down to 15 minutes as a quick fix.

    Does anyone have a better recommendation on how to handle googlebot for PHP iCalendar?

    And if anybody from Google is reading this, please make your search bot a little smarter & a little nicer.

  17. Holy Crap on French Court Orders Google to Stop Competing Ad Displays · · Score: 1

    You just slashdotted NPR!

  18. Much better than the last one on Hardware Reuse Contest Entries Revealed · · Score: 1

    It's about time they focused on recycling computer parts. I have to admit I wasn't too wild about their prior recycling efforts. All they came up with are things like lampshades, book covers, yarn, felt & socks.

  19. Prior Art? on Fallout From Japanese Patent On Help Icon · · Score: 1

    "Matsushita patent number 2,803,236, which was registered with the Japanese patent office in 1998, according to Matsushita." -Article

    OK. Click on icon then click on items on the screen seems like that has been around for a while. They are saying they had it patented in 1998.

    What are some earlier programs/OSs that had this feature?

  20. No they aren't on How to Take Over a Train Station · · Score: 5, Funny

  21. Re: Maybe they were looking for sex... on List of Polish Spies Leaked On The Internet · · Score: 1

    Please use proper terminology. It's called a condom, not an eye patch.

  22. Re:It is not about how much rocket costs.. on Hondas in Space · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually it just came out that they are preparing a standby shuttle for future missions. NASA Resume Story Of course if you go up in your private rocket, they may expect you to foot the bill for the rescue.

  23. It's not for the people. on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    It for the monkeys.

  24. Competion is good on Businesses Discover Skype · · Score: 1

    It's not going to take long before all the black fiber gets put up for use. I see long distance rates for POTS dropping too. They seriously need to drop the taxes on POTS to make it more competitive.

  25. They are just begging for it on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 5, Funny

    They are just begging for that asteroid to change course & destroy earth.

    Don't toy with fate.
