  1. Re:Who wants this? on Facebook Introduces Payment System · · Score: 1

    Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, "When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?"

  2. IE tab on Ask Slashdot: Most Useful Browser Extensions? · · Score: 1

    IE Tab, for when you absolutely have to...

  3. Re:I'm not worried in the least because I plan to on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 5, Funny

    so you HAVE had my wife's cooking!

  4. Geez on Thunderbird to Leave Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 1

    Geez, I just got the new Tbird installed with all the extensions I need, syncing up to 6 different email accounts and also allowing me to see/edit my google calendar and seeing the RSS feed on my blog. Did I pick the wrong client? As of this moment, I don't think so, but time will tell.

  5. One of my faves on MST3K is Back, Sort Of · · Score: 1

    McCloud!

  6. Pointy knees on It's Not News, It's Fark · · Score: 1

    This book has pointy knees. Fark lost its charm. They should take a hint from Digg and do what the readers want, whatever the consequences. Or cash in and become irrelevant. (inset of picture of relevant user news site.)

  7. Re:Next Week On Heroes on Study Detects Recent Instance of Human Evolution · · Score: 1

    Save the cheerleader, save the world, make me a milkshake. Poof your a milkshake.

  8. I drink alone on Socializing For The Win? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, the other night I got invited to a party, But I stayed home instead. Just me and my pal Johnny Walker, And his brothers Black and Red. And we drank alone, yeah, with nobody else. We drank alone, yeah, with nobody else. Yeah, you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

  9. Re:Follow the Money on LimeWire Sues RIAA for Antitrust Violations · · Score: 1

    I wholeheartedly agree with your post. It lost some validity because of the spelling though.

    "...and how much they are loosing, even..." mistakes like that make you look like a big loser (not "looser") and "lable", "lionss". I'm no nazi, but I cringed.

    but...thumbs up on the post aside from that.

  10. Re:I bought his last album on Weird Al Says 'Don't Download This Song' · · Score: 1

    Bingo! I'm pretty sure Greg Kihn got tired of people coming up to him and singing "I lost on Jeopardy, baby" I agree that alot of parody artists are hacks, but there is real genius to Weird Al's stuff. Right now I'm currently listening to "Bohemian Polka".

    Al's probably aware that he's the luckiest guy in the world to have started off/continued his career by taking others works and remaking them in his image. If only Weird Al was in control of Hollywood...maybe some of these hack remake films would be entertaining.

  11. Linux mountable? on Microsoft Plans Gdrive Competitor · · Score: 1

    will it be Linux mountable? for instance, if I boot to a system using PuppyLinux on a USB key drive, can I automatically mount my Gdrive/livedrive?

  12. Re:I Hate RadioShack on RadioShack CEO Resigns · · Score: 1

    doesn't anyone use the internet to shop for these items? There must be a reliable site that will sell you resistors and the like.

    I'm still using my CueCat:) and sold three or four of them on ebay!! Thanks Shadio Rack!

  13. Re:You made me a programmer on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    Same here but with the TS1000 with a 16K mem block. I remember opening it up and plugging it into the TV, then my father asking..."What does it do? What kind of games do you play on it?" I told him...it's a computer, you have to write the games....right now it doesn't do anything.

    Much like the reaction I got when I got my first bass guitar and he asked what I could play. I told him, I had to learn first...bah....he never understood.

    I remember writing a Simon kind of game using a telephone keypad layout with flashing numbers (peek'd and poke'd) I could play it remembering up to 40 numbers in a row. It was almost commercial quality for that period, but I was in 9th grade, what did I know about marketing.

  14. man... on Data Storage For Home? · · Score: 2, Informative

    delete most of your porn. It mostly looks alike anyway, so just ditch it. You should then have close to 200 GB free.

  15. Re:You knew it was coming... on FEMA Demands Use of IE To File Online Katrina Claims · · Score: 1

    Has anyone seen Rush Limbaugh lately? He's not fat anymore. Hasn't been for years.

    Of course, he is the one to point out that liberals cannot argue issues, becasue they always lose to the fact, so they turn to attacking their opponent personally.
    Also proves that liberals are not forward thinking, but trying to relive the glory days of the past (60's).

  16. give up or push it through on Advice for the K12 Tech Guy? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are you "The Guy" or are you a pawn of someone bigger. If your say-so carrys weight, use what you know. Put it though some pilots first (if it's in your budget), then say, "This is how it's going to be."

    (If Linux) When faced with budgeting concerns, show them how much you'll save by using, say, Debian w/firefox, openoffice.org, etc. Even better, use the NX client/Server and terminal serve everyone with Knoppix CD's.

  17. Flying car... on Forms of Alternative Transportation to Work? · · Score: 1

    I was promised a flying car... Where is my flying car???!?!!

  18. Does this mean... on New Digital Camera Lens Made of Liquid · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does this mean your camera will have a "squint" button instead of a focus?

  19. meh on The NetBSD Toaster · · Score: 1
    meh...

    didn't rtfa

    only impressed if it uses the CPU heat to toast, otherwise....meh

  20. Debian knoppix installation on Ed Haletky: Desktop Linux Nearly There · · Score: 1
    I remember my first linux desktop installation. ughhh. Of course machine speeds have gone up, hard drive sizes have gone up and RAM prices have gone down, making a linux desktop more likely.

    "Older" hardware (1 Ghz CPU or less) with enough RAM, say 128-256MB. will run a linux desktop fine. Today, in under an hour, I added a 4 GB hard drive to an "older"(see above) XP system and installed Debian from a knoppix 3.9 CD in under an hour, dual-boot. Knoppix includes most things you need in a basic install and a lot of things you don't, so it's very impressive to anyone skeptical about the usefulness of a linux desktop.

  21. Re:That's Nothing New on Discovery's Dangling Gapfiller Removed by Hand · · Score: 1
    Everytime I approach my wife with my Dangling Gapfiller, she threatens to hacksaw it off!

    Which is precisely why you need to learn to pull it out by hand.

  22. well.. on Debris Seen Falling Off Shuttle During Launch · · Score: 5, Funny
    anyone old enough to remember the apollo launches? Granted, anything that returned to earth was covered during launch, but there was stuff flyng off left and right (hoses, debris, small animals, pizza boxes, etc.)

    I think we're getting a little paranoid because of one incident. But that's just me....
