  1. The laser from Real Genius on Greatest Beams In Movie History · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not only can it vaporize druglords and pop corn, but it can point the way to a campus party. Now /that's/ utility!

  2. Why should sysadmins always carry a fiber optic on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    cable?

    If you ever get lost, lay the cable on the ground, and ask the backhoe operator how to get back to civilization.

  3. It'll be the first UNCRACKABLE hardware tie-in on Apple to Lock OSXi to Apple Hardware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good luck!

    Honestly though, if the net outcome is that Macs get faster processors, and more often, that could be a good thing.

  4. You watch too much TV on Nanotech Protests Begin · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People don't really look like that. You don't look like that. Get over it.

  5. Remember having to install WINSOCK to get online? on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 1

    Now I feel old :)

  6. 80x25 White on Black... THAT's a command line on Windows to Have Better CLI · · Score: 1

    Can OSX do it?

  7. Now if it only supported playlists, on QuickTime 7 Windows Preview Available · · Score: 1

    or full screen mode. Maybe it's the crippled bitch that is the free version, but I'd rather use Real player than Quicktime (and that's saying something). Personally, I'm a fan of Kplayer... but WiMP will do in a pinch. Is there any decent player for Windows that will skip to the next file instead of crashing if it encounters problems with playback?

  8. Almost as bad as posts about articles that on Games We've Never Seen Before · · Score: 1

    Oh, nevermind.

  9. You just winged him and made him a Unitarian on Games We've Never Seen Before · · Score: 3, Funny

    n/t

  10. Re:Editors! Context! on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    You want to mock my tyopgraphical error, then make up a word like "unlazy". As long as we're nitpicking stupid shit, consider your nits picked.

    When they talk about municipal WiFi networks, do they say, "WiFi, a wireless networking standard"? They may have the first few times, then it's on you to figure it out if you weren't paying attention.

    If anything, blame the submitter.

  11. Partial disassembly? on TIE Fighter Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Call me crazy, but what can be put together can in many cases be taken apart and put back together again.

  12. They have these new things, they're called "eyes" on TIE Fighter Case Mod · · Score: 1

    They're great for actually looking at the link, and seeing that your post has absolutely no relevancy to this artwork.

  13. Re:Editors! Context! on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    He wasn't asking the community, he was blaming the editors for not explaining a term that's apparently been used on Slashdot 110 times before. Thanks for actually reading the original post, though. I just disagreed with the assertion that this is the editors' job.

  14. Monkey Nutsack Linux would be better on GPL Hard to Enforce? · · Score: 1
  15. Like you said... on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    It's been mentioned on Slashdot. In fact, when I put acid2 in the search box, I get 110 results. One of the articles includes the following:

    "Acid2 is a CSS/HTML test suite put out by the Web Standards Project (WASP)."

    Exactly what would you like engraved on your silver platter?

  16. Re:Editors! Context! on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What's C? What's RSA? What's a race condition? It isn't "News for people who are too lasy to learn things on their own", now is it?

  17. Then you can't crank it up when you need to. on AMD Athlon64 4000+ Underclocking · · Score: 1

    n/t

  18. No "Clan of the Cave Bear" references yet? on Ancient Cave Bear DNA Extracted and Decoded · · Score: 1

    Surprising.

  19. It's called "money" on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 1

    Does wonders for convincing people to do things.

  20. The PJs as a manhole cover in a Futurama episode on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 1

    Muy comico.

  21. They still had a lot of teat to suckle from on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 1

    They were far from running out of ideas. The Simpsons still has a decent percentage of good episodes, and that's enough for us die hard fans.

  22. SO sick of Chappelle's Reruns. They're killing it. on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 1

    Seriously. They REALLY need to lay off. Yeah, it's funny stuff, and a popular show, but how could anyone want to see the same episodes THAT MANY times?

  23. You forgot the goddamn INFOMERCIALS! on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 1

    That's gotta cut a good 12 slices out of your pie, right there.

  24. IIS updates don't come through Windows Update on Korean MSN Site Hacked · · Score: 1

    At least not that I've seen in my limited Windows admin experience. They always seem to be manual hotfixes and service packs.

  25. You distract her, I'll slip it in her taco on Trust in a Bottle · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Aren't we supposed to give her the Spanish Fly first? Beavis, you dumbass.
