    My aunt is news director of our local AM station, sometimes gets picked up by the AP wire, has an incredibly twisted sense of humor, and frequently uses eBay. I'm definitely showing her this over coffee in the morning.

  3. So glad to see this made the frontpage on PayPal Freezes Hurricane Relief Account · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just finished writing submitting it myself, because GOON JUSTICE, man.

  4. Maybe not all that new, but not all that old eithe on Are Games Getting Easier? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I defy anyone to play through all the missions in Worms Armageddon and say they didn't get a rush of accomplishment after the 23'rd and final attempt to fly a sheep through that damned maze.

  5. Re:UN never said Iraq had no WMD ... on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1

    Indeed, if you look at the Charlie Rose interview on the Bowling For Columbine DVD, MICHAEL MOORE said Saddam had WMD's.

  6. Re:Oil isn't the only source of energy. on Fuel-cell Vehicles for Americans · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that's because all the energy in biofuels is derived from the sun, and it would be more efficient to build solar-thermal plants on the acres of would-be canola fields?

  7. Re:Of course it isn't dead! on DECnet Isn't Dead · · Score: 1

    Plenty of people survive heart attacks... let's say a 2 minute stoppage, every week, well hey that's only 99.98 %

  9. WTF? on Internet to Pakistan Goes Down · · Score: 1

    So their only point of connection was through the arabian sea? Maybe this will get them to improve relations with their neighbors so they can get a second link that runs through China or India, maybe Iran. Afghanistan seems like a dry hole for that sort of thing. A single point of failure for the entire country's networking... amazing.

    We live in the brave new world where Adobe is Macromedia, remember.

  13. Re:What Shame? on E3 2005 Booth Babe Hall of Shame · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute... the ladies take off their clothes and dance around a bit, and the fat bald guy gives up his hard earned cash? Who's really being exploited?

  14. Re:MONEY BREEDS COMPLACENCY on The Star Wars Money Machine · · Score: 1

    Episode III is definitely worth a cheap matinee screening, there were only a couple of emo love scenes that made me groan, and one really terrible moment that... oh hell, it cancelled out the awesome parts entirely. Nevermind.

  15. Re:I have vonage... on VoIP Providers Given 120 Days to Provide 911 Service · · Score: 1

    Step 1: Open door: Step 2: Walk to mailbox Step 3: Read Address.

    My point is, it'll be Utah doing the weeping, not Europe.

  17. Re:Could Microsoft Buy Red Hat? on Could Microsoft Buy Red Hat? · · Score: 1

    Hate to break this to you skippy, but Novell already bought SuSE. Nearly two years ago, in fact.

    The venerable IBM Model M has drainage holes in the bottom and mechanical switches that won't get gummed up rather than those dreadful flexi-trace circuit pad things that get shorted out so easily.

    Conversely, at no point has it EVER been measured as accurately as it has the last 50-150 years.

  22. Re:Big-name computers and motherboards on Simple, Bare-Bones Motherboards? · · Score: 1

    Do you know if Sony still uses ASUS in their Vaio line? I bought a 440-BX based system about 6 years ago and that thing has been through 3 power supplies, 2 cases, 4 hard drives, but the board, processor and ram are still cranking away in my closet running iptables and dnsmasq on slackware.

    Adsense can suck my click.

  24. Re:Let Capitalism run its course. on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: 1

    Financial barriers to entry, even low ones, are very effective for keeping dumbasses away, just look at the something awful forums.

  25. Re:Sensationalistic article on Branden Robinson Lays Down the Law at Debian · · Score: 1

    Man, what a telling commentary about the decline of slashdot when the article's subject shows up posts, yet only three people notice.
