  1. Natalie Portman on Water Spectacular in Episode III? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Slashdot has really gone downhill when Admiral Ackbar in a swimsuit makes the front page before this does... Bring on the grits!

    Everybody knows that Wikipedia is best read in the original Klingon.

  4. Strange coincidence... on Japan's 20-Year Plan for Space · · Score: 1

    That's EXACTLY the same as my 20 year plan for space! Well, exccept for the line item under 2010 that says "...profit" and the last line that says "Continue profiting."

  5. The end of an industry on EZTree Shuts Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    This just confirms my suspicions that the music industry is trying to kill the music industry.

  6. I can double it, or triple it...or even more. on Modified Prius gets up to 180 Miles Per Gallon · · Score: 1

    Of course, the Prius is driving in circles around a post with the extension cord coming out of it.
    Of course, the vomit/mile value is MUCH higher than usual.

  7. Last post!! on Novell's Race Against Time · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Last post before the dreaded Slashdot April Fools articles are submitted.

  8. Semi realistic transparency on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 1

    At least he had the guts to show the cables... I'd be afraid that if I did this, I'd be reminded what a rat's nest I have behind the machine...

    Einsteiiiinnnnnnnn!!!!!!! (shakes fists in the air)

  10. Was it just me... on Intel's 64-Bit Pentium 4s Hit The Streets · · Score: 5, Funny

    Was it just me or did anyone read that as the Pentium D "Seinfeld"?
    Not that there's anything wrong with it...

  11. Re:Foreign language? on Sources of Intelligent Audio for Commute? · · Score: 1

    I've done this as well, but am always looking for free alternatives, even if the language is Esperanto (which I've tried, and would make an excellent free audio set). Anyone have recommendations for anything down the Free route?

  12. Re:There'll be riots, you know. on Irish Cinema Set to Go Digital First · · Score: 1

    That would be "buffering..."
    Please leave your geek card at the door.

  13. Re:What about CoLinux? on WinOS+QEMU+Knoppix 3.8 = WinKnoppix! · · Score: 1

    Man, I read that as topogigolinux. Come to think about it, that would be an awesome distribution name.

    Information wants to be stolen.

  15. Re:Wait, what? on NSA Announces New Crypto Standards · · Score: 1

    Shut yo' mouth!

  16. Re:Look out... on Of Ants and Robots · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course not. RAID makes computers and robots stronger.

  17. Everything is offensive to someone. on Utah Considers Forcing ISPs to Filter Content · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You could filter out the ENTIRE internet except for one, blank white page, and someone would accuse you of being racist. Ok, if you make it blue, they will accuse you of being anti-linux. Red? Commie! Yellow? Well, I guess I am chicken...

  18. Strange... on Mars Rovers Have Incorrect Instruments Installed · · Score: 1

    I hear the same thing happened to the Olsen twins.
    Don't ask me...I'm not sure what it means either.

    This is a UNIX system! I know this!!

  20. Slashdot Warnings on True.com Wants Warnings On Personal Ads · · Score: 2, Funny

    Additional alternatives:
    WARNING: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
    WARNING: HOT GRITS
    WARNING: COWBOYNEAL
    But then again, only old people in Korea post warnings.
    Here is a bit of lower case text to get pass the Slashdot lameness filter. What do you know? It really works!

  21. Overheard at IBM... on Nano-Scale Memory Fits A Terabit On A Square Inch · · Score: 4, Funny

    Boss: What are you two working on? You've been sitting and staring at the screen for hours.
    Engineer 1: Uh....the millipede project.
    Engineer 2: Yeah. Lots of data stored in two dimensional space.
    Boss: Great! Keep up the good work. (Leaves)
    Engineer 1: Whew that was close.
    Engineer 2: In more ways than one. Look out! Here comes the spider again...
    Engineer 1: I love MAME.

  22. Incomplete slashdot article title. on Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT · · Score: 1

    Should read "Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT by IT department".

  23. Quicker method on How to Build a Hard Drive Wind Chime For Spring · · Score: 2, Funny

    Here is my quick method for doing the same thing:
    1. Drill hole in hard drive
    2. Attach string
    Of course, these don't make the nice ringing sound of a wind chime, they tend to clunk together.
    Here's another method:
    1. Duct tape hard drive to tree.
    If you do enough of these, is it a RAID wind chime?

  24. Re:Nah. on Nat Friedman on the Future of Collaboration · · Score: 1

    You probably get a whole heck of a lot more if they consider each pause between words to be a sample of a certain John Cage tune. Either that, or a sample of a pirated iTunes song.

  25. Re:Dot UN domain? on Should the UN Replace ICANN? · · Score: 1

    I think .WC was already reserved for internet enabled toilets.
