  1. I would have called the book: on Masters of Doom · · Score: -1

    'Doomed to Succeed'

    Aren't I brilliant? Thanks, I'm here all week.

  2. It sure looks to me like it leans this way on Is the SCO Lawsuit a Good Thing for Linux? · · Score: -1

    Good analysis! Good analysis!

    no, no, oh me! oh me!

    Unwarranted optimism! Unwarranted optimism!

    um, no, Good analysis!

    pick me! pick me! I say Unwarranted optimism!

    whatever.

  3. how the fuck do i EVER get modded down on DNA Extraction From Fingerprints · · Score: -1

    when shit like this gets modded up?

  4. You want designers or lawyers? on Last Chance for Slashdot T-Shirt Contest · · Score: -1, Troll

    I see Slashdot editors are too lazy to put up proper guidelines for 'design'. Instead they posted an EULA. It's this kind of tripe that makes me hope the shirt picked is a giant Goatse.cx image.

  5. I wonder how many mod points the editors get? on Exegesis 6 (Perl 6 Subroutines) Released · · Score: -1

    Probably enough to mod this down. Probably unlimited enough to mod down anything un-Slashdot.

  6. I'm surprised there isn't a Barnes Noble link on Exegesis 6 (Perl 6 Subroutines) Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    for affiliate sales of this publication. Anyone else notice the /. editors didn't let anyone post for some time with the book review yesterday. Guess they want to suck up all the Barnes and Noble affiliate sales they can before people can let others know where to get it cheaper.

  7. Javed Ikbal, found dead in home at age 14 on Decipher · · Score: 0

    "Yahoo News has the story. He's best remembered for the book review of Decipher by Stel Pavlou. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon."

  9. Shameful on Decipher · · Score: 0

    This has to be THE MOST ludicrous review I have EVER seen shamelessly posted on Slashdot. Hey kids! It's the Barnes and Noble Affiliate Sales Cavalcade! No review is turned down provided it's an 8 or higher!

  10. Can I purchase one through your Barnes Noble on Amphibious RVing for the Masses · · Score: 0

    affiliate linkage? I assume this got a good review?

  11. Do any books get bad reviews? on Perl 6 Essentials · · Score: 0

    Or are they all Barnes & Noble affiliate-sales links? Who gets the money from the books you sell for Barnes & Noble? The reviewer? Slashdot? Or is there a Slashdot beer fund we can all dip into?

  12. HalfLife 2 on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 0

    This is not a doom3 vs Halflife2 flamewar. I would imagine they simply do not want to compete with Halflife 2 for shelf space after seeing their impressive E3 demo. If you have seen the E3 it will all make sense then. Far more interactivity and gee-whiz effects (like advanced physics and vehicles) and with a minimum spec of a TNT2 video card, a far bigger market to roll into. HalfLife2 is poised to become the biggest selling game of all time and everyone knows it.

  13. I can always go for a quick job anytime on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 0

    be it hand or otherwise. ;)

  14. Also of note on SCO Extorting Unixware Licenses to Linux Users? · · Score: 0

    Most humour on Slashdot is overwhelmingly hilarious. Each day it seems someone gets set up the laugh bomb and sets it off in our collective faces. Greetings to you good sir, may you enjoy your stay! Mods please mod his post +5 Welcome-Aboard-Matey!

  15. The first apple computer sold for $666.00 on Wozniak Unveils WozNet · · Score: 0

    And the logo is an Apple with a bite out of it - hence the original sin. No doubt something is wrong with this guy when he now wants a little warm-up for the Mark of the Beast (otherwise known as the New World Order.)

  16. He should get his hand under that dress on Dancing With A Smart Robot · · Score: 0

    and give those diodes a rub.

  17. Wow, Ananova is such a rich alternate info tap on Dancing With A Smart Robot · · Score: 0

    what with showing the exact same picture in the link and all! Thanks Ananova! Perhaps your investors are still reeling from the Max Headroom collapse? Oh internet bubble where are you now, eh?

  18. That's a great idea! Thank you. on Overture To A Patent War? · · Score: 0

    And I've just patented it! Please remove your post good sir.

  19. Good lord man give your head a shake on Instant Messaging Giveaway · · Score: 0

    What company in their right mind would give away money for promoting someone else's product? Did you mod yourself +4 Insightful? Were you at a kegger that weekend of the Business 101 test or perhaps even during that Applied Logic 202 course?

  20. If they are tracking everything that moves on Big Brother Gets a Brain · · Score: 0

    I think we had better start moving before they start tracking.

  21. I have your answer on The Big Kerplop · · Score: 0

    I think they give good reviews to all the books because they (Slashdot) are making money off of affiliate sales programs.

  22. Oh great, I can just see it now on The Big Kerplop · · Score: 4, Funny

    10,000 fire balloons across the country take flight c/o Slashdot. I can't even imagine how many forest fires, UFO sightings, and general mayhem incidents this will cause. I'm going to build mine now. :)

  23. Bwahahahahahaha on Zen And The Art of Nomad Hacking · · Score: -1, Troll

    Of course! Of course funnyman! So early in the morning for me to be pelted by your pie-in-the-sky hard drive hookups! I was casually cruising through a simple article on modding a Nomad MP3 player, wondering how that would be. And then you come along and throw down some insane technical jargon, eliciting an array of laughter. '...ten disk RAID array'? You sir are some sort of mad comical genius. What do you do all day but tinker in your hard drive lab and wax hysterical? Suckers indeed. We have all been hooked up to your nefarious laugh array and are running at ATA-hilarious! 'Wink, wink!', you say? Had you not included that, others may have tried to hook up a ten disk array to their music boxes as well! I think not! Spin me up and format my funnybone! Mods, mod this striped sidesplitter +5 RAIDilarious!

  24. Bwahahahahahaha on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The only bugs in your computer good sir, are purely jokes with wings that whimsically buzz about Slashdot spreading their hilarious bug-joy to all! Your comedic throw-downs have left me ramshackle and quivering with all the glee of a playful cricket! 'Maybe I should just leave it on top of my computer then...'??? Absolute genius. And, 'Has Microsoft heard of this technology?' You rapscallion you! Someone set you up the hive and your giggling bees are stinging us in the face with barbs of laughter. I assume you meant this not to ward bugs away from poor Microsoft employees milling about the campus. Your mirth runs far deeper than that, doesnt it friend? Oh yes. If I may say, between laugh-spasms, you refer to Microsoft software as having bugs! LOLLOLLOL! Proverbial icing on the cake good chap! I have made my decision. I am bookmarking this post for future reference. Should I ever thirst for a good-old fashioned laugh with a Microsoft slag thrown in for good measure, I will be sure to navigate to this hyperlink of joy you have so kindly immortalized here on Slashdot proper. Mods, mod this wandering minstrel of mirth +5 Dancing-Bees-of-Funtimes!

  25. Bwahahahahahaha on Sony Recalls 18,000 VAIO Laptops · · Score: 5, Funny

    Its the original electro-hilarious man! Some of the classic masters of slapstick simply use falldown jokes. While this elicits a few chuckles, none compares to your wildly dangerous and positively shocking stunts! How can you even type after being so succinctly and hilariously electrocuted??? I can't believe you were able to time the phone ringing whilst in the middle of a serious Slashdot post! I am hardly able to type this because I have been hit by sizzling bolt of laugh-lightning! Someone has charged you up the funny-bomb and placed it squarely in the clouds for all of us to be struck with. I'll bet the person on the other end of the phone got a jolt of pure hilarity as well. You have taken a serious discussion of the dangers associated with Vaio laptops and turned it into an electrified romp into the nether-regions of comedy! I would tip my hat to you good sir lest it was not fused to my head! Mods, mod this master of improv +5 High-Voltage-Hilarious!
