  1. Re:Hrm on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...or you've got the girl who goes on the web browser and sees some weird website called "Slashdot" in the bookmarks, goes there and sees a bunch of geeky stuff, and asks for help with VD.

  2. 300mm? on AMD Receives $683M for Dresden Plant · · Score: 1

    Whats the nm-age supposed to be? 90? 130? Even thinner?

  3. Re:Could this be used on pollution sources? on Smog Busting Paint Breaks Down Noxious Gasses · · Score: 1

    To parent: applying it to road surfaces would just cause it to erode as cars drove over it.

  4. Yo, /. commenters: on Smog Busting Paint Breaks Down Noxious Gasses · · Score: 1

    RTFA. It says clearly in there that when NOx is absorbed, it absorbs UV light from the sun and converts all of the stuff into either nitric acid, or a trio of carbon dioxide, water, and calcium nitrate, which all wash away in water.

  5. DoS'd. on World of Warcraft Beta To Begin · · Score: 1

    The servers are completely DoS'd. http://www.amazingsyco.com/wowatwow.jpg

  6. Knight'd! on EU's Mind 'made up' on Microsoft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    England wants to knight him. Europe wants to hate him. Strange.

  7. Re:How to tell if a Star Wars movie will suck or r on Footage From Star Wars: Episode III · · Score: 1

    It just sounds cool. "Revenge of the Sith". Rolls off of your tongue, and sounds oh-so-badass while you say it.

  8. How to tell if a Star Wars movie will suck or rock on Footage From Star Wars: Episode III · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here's Syco's do-all formula for figuring out if a Star Wars movie will suck or rock.

    If the name rocks, the film will suck.
    If the name sucks, the film will rock.

    Examples:
    A New Hope: Name sucks, movie rocks.
    Empire Strikes Back: Name sucks, movie rocks.
    Return of the Jedi: Name sucks, movie sort-of rocks.
    Phantom Menace: Name rocks, movie sucks.
    Attack of the Clones; Name sucks, movie sucks (hey, it was an exception)

    Revenge of the Sith: Name rocks, movie will probably suck.

  9. Blah. on Flaws Threaten VoIP Networks? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since the whole no-way-Microsoft-would-ever-have-a-security-hole joke has been done to death, I'll do a different one. ... Wait, nothing could be funnier than the irony of someone saying no-security-holes-in-Microsoft-products.

  10. Well... on Filter-foiling Gibberish Becoming A Spam Staple · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A lot of the time that "random gibberish" comes in the form of a story or something. Hell, a while ago I got a spam that contained a few exerpts from The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. I got a laugh of that one.

  11. Gah @ WMA. on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Windows Media Anything sucks. They are the worst set of codecs ever. The only reason any consumer uses 'em is because 1) the app is installed on the computer to begin with and 2) all the content is delivered in that format. The only reason content makers use 'em is because 1) the app is installed on every computer to begin with and 2) because of that wonderful DRM M$ shoves down our throats.

  12. 4/1, eh? on Doom 3 Vaporware no More · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...... APRIL FOOLS!

  13. Two words on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 0

    Medicinal marijuana. ^_^ Won't solve your problems, but hey! You can smoke pot! Woo hoo!

  14. Too late. on Tech Titans Prepare to Battle Over Next DVD Format · · Score: 2, Funny

    I still think they should go back to Beta, myself...

  15. Too many links! on Bollywood Embraces Kazaa Movie Downloads · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My browser is about to short circuit! TOO MANY LINKS! Of course, it could be because I'm using netscape 4...

  16. Re:Rophel. on Looking Back At Windows Security In 2003 · · Score: 1

    Yup. The exact same.7

  17. Rophel. on Looking Back At Windows Security In 2003 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Windows Security is an oxymoron. Just like the French fish who cleaned everything from Finding Nemo.

  18. Who cares? on X10 Xmas Light Control with Pan and Zoom · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's the big deal? What was wrong with the good, old-fashioned throw-some-lights-in-the-bushes-and-in-the-gutters light scheme? Now, everyone's house either looks like the front yard of a church or a disco roller-arena from the 70s. Its John Travolta meets Jesus.

  19. Here's an honest question. on UserLinux May Go Without KDE · · Score: 0

    What's with all this talk lately about linux distros and KDEs and such?

  20. Well... on Linux 2.6 Kernel Pool Results · · Score: 1

  22. OMG! on Off-The-Shelf Online Music Stores · · Score: 1, Funny

    Apple should get one! And they should call it "iTunes"! IT'D SELL MILLIONS! 25 million at least, I predict.

  23. Nice. on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Looks like Intel might license this for their new P4s at 4 GHz. After cooling it down, the chip is almost cool enough to run!

  24. Well... on 64-bit Linux On The Opteron · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was always preferable to Linux over Windows on 64-bit processors. Of course, I'm talking about the G5...

  25. Blam! on X-Prize Progress Update · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm still wondering whether John Carmack's ship is going to have a BFG 9000 on it or not.
