  1. could be worse, actually on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 1

    Count Dooku might realize the error of his ways at the last minute and try to kill the emperor?

  2. Re:General Grievous? on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, hello Captain Obvious.

  3. good grief on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    General Grievous is described on the star wars site basically as a cyborg, not a droid.

    Or do they mean he's the general of a droid army?

    These people need good writers, that's for sure.

  4. Possible Solution on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Instead of moving to Mainland China, move to Taiwan?

  5. Re:Proxy? on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe you can access a proxy and view through it?

    That's what I did when I was on vacation in Communist Vietnam.

    Problem is, I couldn't post anything on Slashdot because it disallows posting through proxies.

    You can still read everything that's posted though.

  6. Re:I stopped downloading movies.... on Round Two for MPAA Lawsuits · · Score: 2, Funny

    After I saw those emotional segments in the theater about how Joe Camerman, and Jane Stuntwoman suffers from my actions, I really felt bad.

    Hey dyou know where I can find a torrent of that segment? Those damn camcorder pirates keep editing it out of their files...

  7. Re:arg on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    yea thanks to your comment, the editors had their "oh no second", and need to raise their own bar and touch base and/or interface with the readership, to keep current with and table the trendy idioms, perform parallel to threshold and keep them on their radar. It's a win win situation, if they put it up the flagpole and it flies.

    But I'm no SME, so...

  8. I think on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 2, Funny

    It would be pretty cool to recreate the mythical creatures of ancient Greece... the chimera, the minotaur, the centaur, the satyr, the harpy, the medusa, the pegasus...

    Heck, with a little more effort, we could recreate the whole Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual!

    MMORPG? Pfeh. I vote for Real Life Monster-Fighting Adventures!

  9. Re:What a stupid question.... on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 1

    and here i was, using a brown paper bag with two holes for my eyes.

    your idea is so much better!

  10. Re:I'm more intrigued that theres a matrix MMORPG on Interview With Sundog of Radio Free Zion · · Score: 0, Troll

    If Slashdot was a movie, anonymous cowards would be minor characters.

    Even if you get a post moderated +5 Whatever, you'll never achieve the recognition of A-list slashdotters with a 4 digit UID.

  11. 6th word? on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 2, Funny

    Exeem.

  12. Re:Yeah, right on Just How Paranoid Are You? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's what they want you to THINK!!! 8-I

  13. Re:Yeah, right on Just How Paranoid Are You? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, right (Score:4, Funny)
    by Anonymous Coward on Monday January 24, @03:01PM (#11459505)
    Like I'm going to discuss that here on Slashdot! You know who might be reading


    You know why Slashdot number-identifis even Anonymous Cowards posts? (e.g. in your case, (#11459505))

  14. Re:A matter of pride on China To Launch 2 Into Space In September · · Score: 4, Funny

    They launch misions when they are ready, not in time for some politico's birthday or scheduled speech

    But what about Feng Shui?

  15. If you download Exeem Lite on Exeem Open Beta Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    make sure you read the readme file

  16. Re:Carbon Dioxide on Why Mosquitoes Bother Some And Not Others · · Score: 1

    I'd say that so far, we homo sapiens have been pretty successful at sending our predators on the way to extinction. :-(

  17. Re:Horse Mosquitos on Why Mosquitoes Bother Some And Not Others · · Score: 1

    One word: Octenol

  18. Re:Carbon Dioxide on Why Mosquitoes Bother Some And Not Others · · Score: 1

    Yep. You can even buy carbon dioxide-based mosquito lures or traps.

    IIRC the problem is that different mosquito species are attracted to different concentration levels of CO2 emissions.

    What would be good (at least on the short-term, for the benefit of humankind only) is if there was a massive international spraying campaign of organisms that feed on mosquito larvaes.

    Question is, what is the importance of the mosquito in the food chain?

  19. The Chinaman is not the issue, Darl! on IBM Ordered to Show More Code to SCO · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why would SCO need to analyse IBM's code, if the reason for the lawsuit is in the first place because SCO knows IBM infringed on SCO's code?

    I mean, in order to know there is infringement, you'd have to have already figured out what part of the code was "stolen", right?

  20. Re:Gillian Anderson? on Duchovny Says X-Files Sequel in Works · · Score: 1

    IMHO they can keep Duchovny, and if Anderson doesn't want to play Scully, then they can hire Jenna Jameson.

    She's got some acting experience, I'm told.

  21. Re:background noise and trigger words? on Voice Activated MP3 player · · Score: 1

    Computer? Computer?

    Ah yes, the mouse. [Holds up mouse to mouth]

    Hello computer?

  22. If we achieved immortality on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    We might see the day when Duke Nukem Forever is published.

    All kidding aside, it would remove the current obstacle of slow-speed space exploration.

    A 60-year mission to Pluto? No problemo.

  23. New at ThinkGeek on Jail Time For P2P Developers? · · Score: 1

    Teh USB Electric Chair!

    Automatically detects computer-enabled software/music/movie piracy and Peer-to-Peer network connections, and fries the culprit!

    *With 500$ mail-in rebate from the SIIA/RIAA/MPAA
    **20$ media gift certificate per electrocution!

  24. How long on Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine · · Score: 1

    How long before the Linux crowd counters with a photo spread of a young Linus?

  25. Re:Great! on Harvard Pres Says Females Naturally Bad at Math · · Score: 1

    I saw this car show on TV, and one of the most respected car analysts said that, while female drivers aren't bad per se, they have a tendency to drive different types of vehicles the same way and expect these to behave the same in identical driving situations, ie you can't drive a Porsche Carrera like you'd drive a Hummer H2, or a Winnebago.

    Sounds plausible, but not backed by any study whatsoever.
