  1. Re:Frankly on Why Netbooks Will Soon Cost $99 · · Score: 1

    I was with you until you mentioned realplayer.

  2. Re:Sombody please tag this story! on Mozilla Unveils Aurora Concept Browser · · Score: 1

    That saved me posting a comment..............doh!

  3. Re:I could tell it was all CG effects on ILM Showcases "Dead Man's Chest" Effects Work · · Score: 1

    Wow, Comic Book Guy has an account on /.

  4. Compile this.... on Open-Source Prosthetics · · Score: 1

    I thought it said Open Source Prostitutes.

  5. Re:"Honestly officer, I didn't know it's illegal.. on Microsoft Puts Police Link on Messenger · · Score: 1

    JonBenet Ramsey - she was groomed.

  6. Re:Xray shoe fitter has to be on the list. on The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time · · Score: 1

    Hell, I'll vote for that. As a child, back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I always used to beg to be allowed a go on the machine in my local shoe shop. Strangely (I thought at the time), the assistants always had some excuse why I could't use it. Maybe the damn thing just didn't work and was "for display purposes only", but now I'm glad I didn't get my feet repeatedly irradiated for the fleeting pleasure of seeing a crappy green foot shaped blur on the little screen.

  7. Thank You on Of Internet Users, Only 4% Knowingly Use RSS · · Score: 1

    I, too, am one of the people having given up using RSS, and just reading stuff from the websites. Finding a lot of other /.ers have done the same has enabled me to enter the New Year feeling uber-cool. And slightly smug.

  8. Failed! on 10 Failed Technology Trends of 2005 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Spreading a rather thin article over a multitude of pages so we can be sure to see all the ads.

  9. Bush seeks military option on bird flu on Army Eyes Anti-Sniper Robot · · Score: 1

    Birds do not have the training to immediately change their position after singing. If this robot was programmed to recognise birdsong it could immediately pinpoint and call fire onto the birds position. Trees would no longer be a safe haven for these avian bio-terrorists.

  10. You may laugh now but on Exploding Water Balloons In Zero G · · Score: 5, Funny

    Soon our daily lives will be improved by new, exciting products based on Zero G Water Balloon Bursting technology.

  11. Doesn't work on Microsoft Finalizes Its Desktop Search Software · · Score: 5, Funny

    This software was unable to find the biro on my desktop. I had to search for it manually and eventually found it on the floor behind a piece of pizza crust.

  12. Software on Is The 'CSI Phenomenon' Good For Science? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have a torrent of Caruso v1.0? I would like to upgrade my ability to speak few words, but with melodramatic pauses in between them while simultaneously either donning or removing my sunglasses. I would like the add-on Hummer pack too, if poss. Thx

  13. We need a Spam Filter... on Spam-maker Hormel Spends to Reclaim Name · · Score: 1

    ...to filter out all the posts suggesting Hormel should advertise their product via mass emailing.

  14. Re:1 million rpm? on Jet Engine on a Chip · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is your Captain speaking. It is time for our flight to change course. Please turn off all mobile phones, laptops and calculators so that we may carry out this manouevre. Thank you.

  15. It prompted me to go the pub on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 2, Funny

    At least that's the way I interpreted it.

  16. Parry Aftab on The Saga of Katie.com · · Score: 1

    There is a photo of the rapacious "cyberlawyer" on this page of her blog. Underneath the thumbnail it says "View full size". I declined to do so because my monitor is only 1024x768.

  17. Re:Take slashdot for an example on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 1

    But what if the thread started in Portuguese?

  18. Re:The need for speed on First 16x DVD+R Recording Tests Available · · Score: 1

    and god burned by it
    Because you had one before God? Now that's what I call being a first-adopter.

  19. Re:People please! on 64-Bit Rugrat Virus Emerges · · Score: 1

    Why should people bother searching for dupes when others can't be bothered to spell correctly.

  20. Re:The Lord knew what he doing on Researchers To Climb Ararat To Seek Noah's Ark · · Score: 1

    I am still growing in Christ

    What are you? A tumour?
