  1. Oh Noes!!! on Mount St. Helens Lets Off Some Steam · · Score: 1

    I hope that little Dino toy is still ok!

    or was that some other volcano....?

  2. Re:the problem with unconventional houses on Dilbert's Ultimate House · · Score: 1

    I don't have a house yet, I'm currently looking into getting one.

    My first idea was to get a contractor to build me the house I wanted, but even that is hard around here... I've been told that developers are granted permits by the city to build on large tracts of land, where they sell their cookie-cutter houses.

    There is also a requirement to have a lawn, and not to let it grow wild.

    Damned conformists.

  3. Re:the problem with unconventional houses on Dilbert's Ultimate House · · Score: 1

    I'd have to move to another city, find another job, etc. or move in a rural area with an insane commute time.

    The whole area around the city is like this.

    It's even more insane north of Toronto, near Canada's Wonderland. The houses there are so similar, you can get lost like in a rat maze.

  4. Re:Never heard of that. on Dilbert's Ultimate House · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    that's why I trained my cat to do his business directly in the toilet bowl.

    I was unable to train him to flush, though...

  5. the problem with unconventional houses on Dilbert's Ultimate House · · Score: 5, Insightful

    is that in some areas, you simply cannot build them, because your neighbours might complain that your house makes their house's property value go down.

    I live in such an area. :(

  6. Re:the last time I listened to the radio on RadioShark Is Vaporware No More · · Score: 1

    I don't watch TV.

  7. Those are people who died, died... on Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One · · Score: 4, Informative

    Also, John E. Mack was killed earlier this week after being hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street on foot.

  8. Re:memo to self on Mount St. Helens Alert Status Increased · · Score: 1
  9. has to be a joke or something on 100 GB Email Account · · Score: 1

    they even advertise a turkey testicle festival... cmon. please. slashdot this out of existence!

  10. lightsaber controller? on Smarter Than the Average Joystick · · Score: 1

    wouldnt that be a ripoff of the Soul Controller made for Onimusha 3?

    disclaimer: I haven't played Onimusha 3.

  11. Re:as I sip my coffee.. on Caffeine Withdrawal Recognized As Real · · Score: 1

    Do you actually know how many mL there are in an espresso shot?

    After the first two cutbacks, I'd have to just dip my finger in and lick it.

  12. the last time I listened to the radio on RadioShark Is Vaporware No More · · Score: 1

    I was annoyed by the fact that the stupid DJ chatter overlapped the beginning and/or the end of the songs I really liked.

    Do they do this on purpose to foil attempts at recording/reproduction?

  13. Re:as I sip my coffee.. on Caffeine Withdrawal Recognized As Real · · Score: 1

    I feel withdrawal if I don't have my espresso in the morning. I only take this one dose per day.

    Cutting back is where? To dishwasher-tasting infused coffee?

  14. Re:Why not? on FCC Asks For Comments On Internet Wiretapping · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    kinda makes you wonder what would happen if some extremist muslim fundamentalists decided to massively spam their agit-prop... t3h 2tr33t2 w1ll fl0w w1t t3h bl00d 0f t3h 1nf1d3lz!

  15. Pardon my Tinfoil... on FCC Asks For Comments On Internet Wiretapping · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But aren't "they" doing it already with ECHELEON?

  16. I've always avoided leadership training on Simulations and the Future of Learning · · Score: 1

    I don't like the pointy-hair look.

  17. Re:Blurb is very wrong on Canon's new 16.7MP Digital SLR, with WiFi · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but film and sensors behave differently.

    As far as I know, you can't do very long exposures with a digital still camera, compared to the ones you can do on film (eg for light-painting, star trails, etc.).

    If newer digital cameras can already do this, then I'll admit my surprise.

  18. lest we forget on 11,000 Words on the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs · · Score: 3, Funny

    the soundtracks...

    Vinyl
    Cassette Tape
    Compact Disk
    Special Edition Compact Disk

  19. Re:Huh? on New GTA: San Andreas Trailer · · Score: 3, Informative

    Maybe the poster meant pornstar wannabes? As a fan of the GTA series, I definitely fit in that category.

  20. Re:Developer's Comments on 3D Realms Buys Physics For Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    as long as they keep the Duke Nukem elements we all loved in DN3D, I don't mind waiting Forever.

  21. Re:What else... on Making Tracks on Mars · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't think it would be more massive than the one left on Earth by the Genesis probe...

  22. Re:Question on Planning Phase Complete For Indian Moon Mission · · Score: 1

    Firstly the mission is not manned. So the question of loss of life doesn't arise.

    The rocket could fail and fall on people...

  23. Re:Two things: on Flash Mobs a Threat to Security? · · Score: 1

    I'm not too sure that the Natives consider themselves Canadian or Americans (as in "citizens of the USA") so much as "none of the above".

    I used the term "Native Americans" as in "North America", Canada being a part thereof.

  24. they laughed at me on Spysats Keeping Watch on the U.S. · · Score: 4, Funny

    when I put tinfoil all over the roof of my house... but who's laughing now?

  25. Re:RCMP = Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Flash Mobs a Threat to Security? · · Score: 1

    wouldnt the RCMP also be the DEA, on top of being a FBI equivalent?
