  6. Re:Wow! on Astronomers Find Huge Hole in Universe · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hear photos of holes are actually pretty popular on the internets.

    Well my school sure failed me!

    just like the internet is now, but with porn. Lots and lots of porn. . .oh wait. Nevermind.

  12. Re:Just one question Mr Meier... on The History of Civilization · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ok, Mr. Smart Guy, now explain how the spearman shot down my stealth bomber.

    OK here goes. It's not a matter of the spearman actually shooting down the stealth bomber. Rather the stealth bomber 'rolls a 1' to put it in RPG context. He fumbles. Catastrophic engine failure, the bomb fail to explode, or they explode in while still in the bay, etc. The spearman doesn't take down the plane, the plane just utterly fails.

    Sorry, I can't have a cute/funny explanation all the time. I tried to come up with one but I'm tired.

  13. Re:Just one question Mr Meier... on The History of Civilization · · Score: 5, Funny

    All I want to know is how the damn Zulu spearman could possibly defeat ALL my tanks. HOW!?!?!?

    That's easy, hundreds of them getting squashed gum up the treads immobilizing the tank. From there hundreds more take turns sticking their spears down the barrel of the turret causing the tank crew to expend all their ammo unclogging the main gun. Then its only a small matter of blocking the air vents of the tank with zebra skins and elephant dung and waiting for the crew to asphyxiate.

  14. movies on Manhunt 2 Ban Fallout, Game Rated AO By ESRB · · Score: 0

    So a game where people are brutally murdered is AO, but a movie like Saw, Hostel etc. where people are photo-realistically murdered are only rated R? WTF? And the game was rated M on PS2 and other platforms? Is this some nintendo hate?

  15. Never on FBI Finds It Overstepped Bounds in Collecting Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What? The government abused it's power? But they said they wouldn't . . . I must admit I'm stunned.

    and still lives in his parents basement.

  17. Re:Yes on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1
    Your laundry list of subjects of which you are ignorant, reminded me of this:

    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

    -Robert A. Heinlein

    Granted there are a couple things I can't do on that list yet either. Just thought I'd share.

    Just wait. We are working on it.

  19. Re:No Contest on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Start with good coffee? Seriously though, It depends on how you like your coffee. If you are looking for a more espresso type brew, use more finely ground coffee. If you just want a full bodied brew then use a more coarse grind (coarser than drip). Also use a burr grinder as opposed to a blade grinder. It will provide a even grind with little dust (which will pass through the filter and get in your cup).

  20. No Contest on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    French Press.

  21. Re:Who cares? on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 5, Funny

    How does this classify as Slashdot news?

    Because in about five seconds Jack Thompson will emerge from his hole and say that the teachers in question trained for this fake attack by playing Doom and Counter Strike.

  22. What about? on Mission Could Seek Out Spock's Home Planet · · Score: 1

    I just want to see what is at Wolf 359

  23. hmmmm on Reiser Murder Case Gets Stranger · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does this mean I don't have to reformat after all?

  24. Not quite. . . on Star Trek Shields Now a Possibility? · · Score: 1

    Star Trek style shields also block energy weapons and solid objects, not just radiation. Pretty much the only thing they don't stop is Borg.

  25. Re:The real question is... on Chimps Evolved More Than Humans · · Score: 1

    If monkeys are so much evolved than humans, why do they still swing monkey poo at each other?

    Humans have been known to engage in that behavior as well.
