  1. Re:Next, Lego Will Make It a Creativity-Free Kit on Beijing 2008 In Lego · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nowdays, kids don't play with toys -- their toys play them.

    But only in Soviet Russia.

  2. Registered users only? on Visual Search Engine Tracks Stolen Images · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm still not completely awake, but I can't seem to see anything other than a login form. Do we need to be a registered user to use this search engine? Or is it because of its beta status?

  3. Re:Digital environments on Getting Human Hands Back Into Digital Design · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps, but then you're limited to eight bits.

  4. Easy! on Getting Human Hands Back Into Digital Design · · Score: 4, Funny

    Digitize your hands and use them in your digital environment.

    What... no good?

  5. Re:ES4 not dead on ECMAScript 4.0 Is Dead · · Score: 1

    And it wants to go for a walk.

  6. Re:Mixed Metaphors on Self-Growing Material Opens Chip, Storage Advances · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's got electrolytes!

  7. Re:Bombing the Moon for water? on How NASA Will Bomb the Moon To Find Water · · Score: 1

    A quick search revealed this.

  8. Re:Wasn't this the plot of that Time Machine Remak on How NASA Will Bomb the Moon To Find Water · · Score: 1

    I find it's a shame, with all the old classics remakes we've seen for the past decade or so, that they missed the chance for a remake of Space 1999 (as a movie) in 1999.

    Or maybe they're waiting for a remake called "Space 2099".

  9. Re:Futile on Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones · · Score: 1

    Or you could, you know... put the peach in the ground and grow more peaches!

    Oh wait, computers don't grow on trees and I can't think of a car analogy...

  10. Re:WTF on Measuring the "Colbert Bump" · · Score: 1

    Troll or not, here you go:

    They are talking about Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report.

  11. Re:Obligatory.. on Rat-Brained Robots Take Their First Steps · · Score: 4, Funny

    The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world.

  12. Re:oook on US Broadband Won't Catch Up With Japan's For 101 Years · · Score: 1

    I'm in the middle of nowhere, about 4 hours and 42 minutes away from the USA border.

    I live here. Everyone in town has access to 5Mbit/768kbps cable speeds for about 35$CAD/month (30 GB combined up/down cap, but still).

  13. Re:Call the FBI? on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    And what are we supposed to do? Does the Massachusetts police department have a website that we can slashdot?

  14. Re:A similar idea on What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    Well, you gave it away. So it was even more cheaper than dirt-cheap.

  15. How about a list of your stuff? on What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    Some of us are looking for old and rare pieces of hardware, you never know. You may have something worth at least a few dozen $$$.

  16. Re:Dead Link on Touchscreen Project For PSP · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's hosted on a PSP.

  17. The edition is actually in the title on Fallout 3 Edited Version To Hit Australian Shelves · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since Australians are upside-down, they had to change the title to "Climbout 3".

  18. Re:post-apocalyptic RPGs on Fallout 3 Edited Version To Hit Australian Shelves · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nope. All the NPCs died from nuclear radiation.

    Or ninjas.

  23. Re:This at least has a basis on RIAA Foiled By "Innocent Infringement" Defense · · Score: 1

    Especially since people who download tunes don't stop at one tune.
      Let's say 100 tunes x 4$ = 400$. That's not something you can easily push aside as being "outrageous" or "taking forever to pay back" even for low-income people (even if it takes, say, 8 months to pay it all).

    Even at four times the iTunes cost (4x1$), it could cost a lot pretty quickly. And slashdotters wouldn't be so mad at the RIAA, I suppose (a fine of 400% would be a reasonable punishment, especially compared to 2000% or even 7500%).

  24. Re:Easy! on Google Has All My Data – How Do I Back It Up? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah I mean that as a joke (since a lot of people here think Apple is as evil as Google).

    Any sane person using Leopard will also have Time Machine enabled, on an external hard drive, meaning a local and external backup for most people, and three backups for those also using MobileMe.

    You're right, using a Mac as an example was the worst possible choice.

  25. Re:Easy! on Google Has All My Data – How Do I Back It Up? · · Score: 1

    Actually I have a free MobileMe trial, just really didn't have the time to really try it out yet. My backups are done via Time Machine, on a Time Capsule, with monthly backups to CD-Rs (my code isn't big enough for DVD-Rs, yet).
