  1. Couldn't help myself on Saturn Moon Continues to Delight and Baffle · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's no moon! It's a space station! And many Bothans died to bring us that information.

  2. Re:Wait for it.... on Ice-Free Summers Coming To Arctic · · Score: 1

    I know. Global warming is a liberal scheme to take god out of the classroom. It's totally fabricated like evolution and the big bang. Excuse me while I turn up my air conditioner.

  3. Sierra on 10 Next-Generation Franchise Comebacks · · Score: 1

    I would like to see a gta (meaning free exploring, not violence and rape) style space quest game.

  4. Post AC next time. on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 1
    "I have a manager thats HIGHLY technical, but his management skills suck. He's a YES man to every other department because he doesn't have any balls."

    I hope he's not technical enough to figure out who you are if he is reading this.

  5. My AOL story. on AOL Fined for Making it Hard to Cancel Service · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I got 6 months of free aol when I bought my dell. I requested msn but they gave me aol. After a few months I grew tired of the intrusiveness of their software. So I called to cancel. They wanted to know why, as if my request as a customer was not enough. I said that I did not like to have their custom brower open to dial up. I did not like being unable to use windows' built in dialer, or when I booted to linux I could not use kppp( I couldn't connect at all). The CSR says 'oh no, you don't need to have the brower open all the time, just when you want to be connected.' Like I would want it open when I'm off line. Again I repeated that I wanted it cancelled. So she says 'Ok I'll tell you what, I WONT cancel your account, give you an additional 6 months free how about that?' After demanding again that my account be cancelled, they finally relented but only after trying to sell me broadband.

    What part of cancel don't those people seem to understand? I still years later get calls from them asking for me to come back. I'm thinking of changing my name.

  6. Kirk on Intel: VoIP is Beachhead to More Collaboration · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    First . . . . Post.

  7. preach on on Space Meat Coming to your Kitchen · · Score: 1
    I have to agree with you. Those Neanderthals were really on the something when they figured out how to cook their meat. Cooked meat is easier to digest too, since the protein is broken down more. Charcoal may just be the greatest thing ever invented.

    Next to porn of course.

  8. yes the whole bass on Space Meat Coming to your Kitchen · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can I use my Super Bass-O-Matic 76?

  9. Potato, Pot(long a)to on Top Level .xxx Domain Concept Under Scrutiny · · Score: 1

    If you disagree with the judge it's "Judicial Activism"(Bad). If you agree with the judge, it's called "Judicial Review"(Good).

  10. no on When Should You Buy Your Kid A Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I don't have a laptop yet, my kid is damn sure not getting one.

  11. Pluto is not a planet on Planet X Larger Than Pluto? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ok, I'll say it, you can say it with me. Ready, Pluto is not a planet. It is a Kuiper belt object. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt Yes it's got a moon, yes it's pretty big for a KBO but it's not a proper planet. If Pluto is a planet then so is Ceres http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Ceres and Juno http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(3)_Juno They're even round too.

  12. Just Imagine on Hot Coffee Cooling Off · · Score: 1
    With all the bruhaha over the explicit sex act between consenting adults, Just imagine the fuss Clinton would have made if the sex depicted in the game was homosexual. Because we all know that the only thing worse that normal healthy sexual intercourse between consenting adults is normal healthy consenting adults who happen to be of the same gender engaging in sexual intercourse.

    Instead of raising homicidial carjackers we could end up raising a whole generation of (gasp) gay people!

  13. Still dangerous on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 2, Informative
    DU is not dangerous because because of the radioactivity, but because it's a toxic heavy metal. And when those rounds hit something at high velocity they burn, and put DU particles up into the air around the target. The problem comes from ground troops in the area who would advance on the target which has just been "softened up" by the DU cannon (or civilians in the area) would inhale the particles and get cancer down the road because they cannot exhale the particles.

    Yes its depleted or most radioactivity, but it's still a burning heavy metal regardless.

  14. Yes, on Full Debian ARM for Under $200 · · Score: 1
  15. Re:APRIL FOOLS??? on PC Keyboard Connected to PSP · · Score: 1
    "but this has to be the most fucking retarded "news" story I have EVER seen on slashdot!"

    If this is the stupidest thing you have ever seen on slashdot then you must not have been here very long.

  16. Reformat? on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 1

    So, what's wrong with fdisk again? Reformatting takes care of just about any software you might want to get rid of. It is kind of drastic, but not nearly so much as buying a new comp. If they really want to spend some money I suppose they could just get a new HD. That would take care of it too.

  17. really? on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 1
    "Old enough to pee is old enough for me!"

    You know newborns can pee all by themselves, what exactly are you trying to say? Are you a baby banger?

  18. Not orbit on Tatooine-like Planet Discovered · · Score: 1
    You imply that Arrakis is a desert because it is close to its sun. This in not so. Arrakis is a desert world because the little makers (sandtrout) bind up all the water and hold it underground, which is poisonious to the worms. Any planet where the spice cycle (worm, little maker, sand plankton) is started, regardless of it's distance from it's star.

  19. Re:hardly surprising, but... on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    They make great coasters.

  20. more nuance on Death Penalty For Hackers? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    You may have a point about the ubiquity of food in our culture, but I would point out that while food may be cheap and omnipresent, most of it is processed, fatty, salty nutritionless garbage. QUALITY food which is actually healthy can be hard to find or too expensive for the truly poor.

    If you don't believe me just take a look at your local Whole Foods Market, or as I call it Whole Paycheck Market, and compare it with the stuff that you could get in a foodbank.

  21. Not fair on Bill Van Buren Talks Half-Life 2 · · Score: 1

    Where are the nude pics of Eli Vance?

  22. Re:even too geeky for /. on Dungeon Master's Guide II · · Score: 1

    Blasphemy I say! Slashdot hordes, destroy the heathen! Cleanse the path for all that is good. Roll 2d10 for attack.

    "Either you're with bloat in the browser world or you aren't. Which is it?"

    That's sith talk there buddy, watch it.

  24. Executive iPod on iPod Gets The Royal Nod · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That kind of reminds me of this http://www.whitehouse.org/kids/ipod.asp/

  25. my god man, think of the gravity! on Rocky Planet Discovered · · Score: 0
    "7.5 times the mass of the Earth, double its radius, and orbits its parent star once every two days."
