  1. Just now? on Birds Give a Lesson to Plane Designers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why haven't they been looking at this all along?

  2. Well I've been waiting.. on Cell Hits 45nm, PS3 Price Drop Likely to Follow · · Score: 1

    for a PS3 price drop, but.... when's it going to happen?

  3. To be young again... on Dinosaurs Grew Fast and Bred Young · · Score: 4, Funny

    and also a dinosaur

  4. Experience with Nmap on Coverity Reports Open Source Security Making Great Strides · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've been working with Nmap for nearly 2 years now; I went over a Coverity scan of the Nmap source code and fixed many possible bugs (mostly NULL dereferences). Coverity has a great interface and documented the bugs well.

  5. Code Search on Google Products You Forgot All About · · Score: 2, Informative

    I certainly didn't forget about this. This and Koders are very handy!

  6. A 'Kinder, Gentler HTML'? on Is It Time for a 'Kinder, Gentler HTML'? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah: we should make it more like C++, because HTML is just too hard.

  7. Well then on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 1

    From now on I'm going to make all my Ruby and shell scripts proprietary and closed source!

  8. Quick! on "All Quiet Alert" Issued For the Sun · · Score: 1

    Send Hermes to throw a parallel universe in it!

  9. DON'T DATE ROBOTS on Human-Robot Love and Marriage · · Score: 5, Funny

    This message brought to you by the Space Pope

  10. My favorite on Which Lost/Stolen Laptop Trackers Do You Like? · · Score: 1

    The kind that doesn't let 'em catch me!

  11. Performance on Linux Kernel To Have Stable Userspace Drive · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't implementing this in userspace drastically lack in performance compared to kernelspace drivers?

  12. My dad works for Northrop Grumman on Northrop Grumman to own Scaled Composites · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ..under contract through the USPS; he works with mainframes.

    But of course, anytime he has a problem with his PC, he comes to me :)

  13. Re:So, 2010 would be on The Desktop -- Time to Start Saying Goodbye? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    No, no, no:

    "2010: The year Linux makes contact"

  14. Well on The Desktop -- Time to Start Saying Goodbye? · · Score: 1

    'One researcher predicts it will be five to seven years before only the "die-hard" desktop users are left'

    Then I'll be one of them. Unless one of you Slashdotters makes me look like an idiot for saying that I like to upgrade my computer myself, and if I'm having a problem I like to look in the box of the computer myself, and you can't do that with a laptop.

    Of course, I'm hoping somebody does make me look like an idiot for that, because I'd be very interested in the laptop brand they come up with.

  15. Oh yeah on Ancient Robot Was Programmed with Rope · · Score: 1

    I saw that episode

  16. They'll probably choose Ubuntu because.. on Ubuntu Dell $50 Cheaper Than Vista Dell · · Score: 4, Funny

    .. they're too confused about all the different editions of Vista ;)

  17. I'll wait for.. on Dell To Sell Advanced Server Cooling Systems · · Score: 1

    liquid nitrogen cooling systems :)

    Actually, I'm pretty sure I saw that on the Screensavers on TechTV a looooooooong time ago. It kicked ass.

  18. Pretty good on GPLv3 Released · · Score: 1

    But I generally place my works under the MIT license, or possibly some other (really!) free one.

    But, then again, I contribute to Nmap regularly (and am now an SoC student for it this summer), and I have no problem that my contributions are placed under the GPL, because it's not a bad license...

    And least not that I can see yet anyway :)

  19. Finally on Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab · · Score: 2, Funny

    We've been needing some of that down here in the South for a looong time...

  20. I say... on Boston University Student Challenges RIAA · · Score: 1

    Go him. He has a good argument involving the "distribution" part (not that he should have to argue).

    And, yes, I'd be saying this even if I was for the RIAA :)

  21. "OSS" Bill on House To Vote On Paper Trail and OSS Voting Bill · · Score: 1

    Will it really be Open Source, or will we just be able to see it and not play?

    Or will only certain people get to see it?

  22. Hmm... on Linus Warms (Slightly) to GPL3 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll make my own license... with blackjack... and hookers.

    In fact, forget the license.

  23. I'm calling dibs on.. on Microsoft Using .MS TLD · · Score: 3, Funny

    nudewebca.ms

  24. It must be true! on Modern Medicine Might Have Saved Lincoln · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because I just saw him on TV with a gopher

  25. Is this really surprising? on Google Wins Nude Thumbnail Legal Battle · · Score: 3, Funny

    Judges prefer using Google to get porn too!
