  1. A good start on How Do I Talk To 4th Graders About IT? · · Score: 5, Funny

    First step is to let your child know, in no uncertain terms, that volunteering you for anything in the future will result in two months grounding.

  2. Re:What would an MBA do? on Defusing the Threat of Disgruntled IT Workers · · Score: 5, Funny

    At my former company one of the clueless head managers pulled all the developers into a conference and gave us the same "mandatory 60 hour weeks are now required" speech. One of the senior developers said "Only 60 hours? That's great!"

  3. You guessed it! on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 0

    It was Frank Stalone.

  4. From the Computer World story I stab thee! on Mozilla Releases Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2 · · Score: 1, Funny

    ComputerWorld is running a related story about benchmarks shown by Mozilla's Brendan Eich which indicate that Firefox 3.1 will run Javascript faster than Chrome.

    Take that Google!

  5. Another method on Photoshop Allows Us To Alter Our Memories · · Score: 0

    I use alcohol to alter (or destroy) my memories.

  6. Re:Beer Pong Video Game on The War Against Virtual Beer Pong · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's more environmentally friendly to play Beer Pong on the Wii - you only need one plastic cup.

  7. Unforgiven on How To Deal With Internet Bullies? · · Score: 0

    What did I do to deserve this?

    Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

  8. Re:No T-1000 jokes, huh, submitter? on Liquid Metal CPU Heatsink Beats Water Cooling · · Score: 0

    Firstly it has superior thermo physical properties that decrease temperature - and it's not a tooomor!

  9. Re:How is this difficult? on What Does It Take To Get a PC With XP? · · Score: 1, Informative

    My in-laws (normal home users) bought a Dell laptop with XP pre-installed 2 months ago. I was not privy to the phone call when my father-in-law ordered it but I am positive no 'fibbing' was involved. Again, this was about 2 months ago.

  10. Still no answer on Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it pronounced "Web 2'dot'0" or is it "Web 2'point'0"? I don't want to sound foolish when I talk to people about the internets.

  11. Re:Time to Get Rid of The Gates Borg Icon on Fresh Air For Windows? · · Score: 0

    I "get" the Borg reference and I too think it is outdated. When it first appeared on /. it was clever, relevant and very funny. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft still maintains a strong "assimilate" mentality but it's not at the level it used to be. Ballmer is the new whipping boy once Bill leaves and I for one think the icon should refelct that.

  12. Snuh? on MagLev, Ruby VM on Gemstone OODB, Wows RailsConf · · Score: 0

    After I was confused by the headline I thought to myself, "Well the summary will clarify all that up for me"
    After I read the summary I thought to myself, "I still don't understand and I'll be damed if me and the four Pale Ales in mah belly give a good Goddamn to RTFA!"

  13. Dude...wait, what? on Cisco CSO Says Antivirus Money "Completely Wasted" · · Score: 0

    Cisco CSO Says Antivirus Money "Completely Wasted"

    I take anything some stoner CSO says with a grain of salt.

  14. That page was annoying on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 2, Informative

    I found the layout and navigation of that gallery pretty annoying.

  15. Not likely on A Baseball Hat That Reads Your Mind · · Score: 3, Funny

    "The cap contains five embedded dry electrodes on the wearer's forehead"

    My head sweat will kill those electrodes in two lawn mowings. And that'll be just from the smell.

  16. Just a thought on Screen With 180 Degree Field of View · · Score: 0

    I agree that the demo in the video did not look very good. Maybe if the projector and software were developed specifically for this type of screen it'd be better.

  17. Re:Iron Man? on Iron Man Released · · Score: 0

    To immediately fill your In-Box with penis enlargement spam, please indicate whether you also live with your parents.

  18. Re:Um, not so much of a newsflash on Brain Study Calls Free Will Into Question · · Score: 0

    The only chance we have of any free will at all is in quantum weirdness which is not much free will to speak of, and certainly not enough to be palatable to the average American who thinks his success or failure is a product of his own decisions rather than the sum total of a very complicated system that he has little control over and basically just experiences as the phenomena of his mind. I knew you were gonna say that.

  19. Re:No permadeath on World of Warcraft - Wrath Of the Lich King Is In Alpha · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not too mention that many of WoW's encounters almost guarantee you will die the first try or second try until you get your strategy down Kinda like in real-life, except for the whole second try part.

  20. What I want in a browser on Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition · · Score: 0

    I'd like a browser that's smart enough to know that if a user (me) mistakenly enters .con instead of .com it doesn't display a "Page not found" but takes a wild gamble and resolves to the .com site.

  21. Re:DeBeers should be happy on NASA Looking For "Diamonds In The Sky" · · Score: 5, Funny

    A whole new marketing campaign suggests itself: "Give her the gift of the stars"

    Because any woman worth marrying knows that if meteorite composition is representative of interstellar dust, that dust would contain about 10 quadrillion (1 * 10^16) nanodiamonds per gram.

  22. Why? on Music Piracy Documentary Released As Torrent · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why would I get this off the web for free when I can pay for it at a store?

  23. Does it rock!? on Turning Heat Into Sound Into Electricity · · Score: 0

    I need a renewable energy source that I can rock out to all day long, all night strong!!

  24. I refuse to vote Democratic on Democrats Appoint RIAA Shill For Convention · · Score: 0

    Just based off of that terrible red and blue donkey topic image. MS Paint rocks!!

  25. And what about RObots? on Two Worm "Families" Make Up Most Botnets · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    They're everywhere and they eat old people's medicine for fuel. I don't even know why the scientists make them.
