  1. Re:uhh.. sexism? on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: -1

    Of course it's sexism. You've hit the nail right on the head. So long as companies continue to churn out products geared toward "the weaker sex," which gets a little too confused by all this technical stuff, society's placement of women in the grand scheme of things is still going to amount to little more than the glorified homemaker image women have been forced to live with.

  2. Stereotypes on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: -1

    "Easy for women to use." This serves only to perpetuate the notion that women can use only products that are created to be 'easy' for them to use. Thus, it implies that women are incapable of working on the same level as a man, making this concept idiocy at its finest.

  3. Re:Hmmm.... on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 0

    Quite similar really. You see, even things considered to violate social norms serve a purpose in the end.

  4. Re:...and the reason I should give a shit would be on Dept. Of Homeland Security Chooses Groove, P2P · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Well, your giving a shit would depend on your desire or lack thereof to defecate on your keyboard. See the filthy keyboard thread. You'll find yourself quite enlightened.

  5. Re:Hold on... on Dept. Of Homeland Security Chooses Groove, P2P · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Definitely. Only those who support terrorism smoke pot, as well.

  6. Re:I think... on Dept. Of Homeland Security Chooses Groove, P2P · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh yeah, and Jello Jigglers are quite pertinent as well.

    We must remeber what is the most important thing here: 94% fat free popcorn with an extra dash of salt.

  8. Re:What about both? on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 1
    What about the fact that I used my wireless laptop while on the loo while on the telephone?

    I'm screwed, aren't I? :-O The microbes have taken over every ounce of my being. Or something.

  9. Re:Hmmm.... on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 5, Funny
    So what you're saying is that I should not shit on my keyboard. Good to know.

    It sounds like someone holds prejudicial opinions regarding keyboard-shitters. To each his/her own, yeah? :-( Granted, my friends have a complete aversion to my keyboard, but that's the way I like it.

  10. My OCD is finally justified on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 2, Interesting
    It's about bloody time that my obsessive compulsive behavior has been justified.

    Or not. I'm not scared to use a public computer, nor am I that arsed about sitting on a clean looking toilet seat.

  11. Re:Stupid Bush! on MPAA Puts Words in Mouth of CA Attorney General · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But the two-party system provides an outlet through which the electorate can voice their opinion on whether upper-class politicians whom corporations have wrapped around their little fingers get into power or well, higher upper class politicians in the pockets of the corporations get into power. Dude, we have like, plenty of choices, yeah?

  12. Re:Just wait a while on Retro Vision · · Score: 1

    Dude. Full House matters. Full House totally matters. If you don't understand that, then I would suggest that you eat some crackers with a big glass of 2% milk and ponder the existence of fish.

  13. Re:um nice example on Retro Vision · · Score: 1
    But didn't you love those tear-jerker scenes in which good ol' Dad boosted his daughter's self esteem to a soundtrack of a heartfelt violin, soon joined by the rest of the orchestra, culminating in a big hug. I wished my family could have been that functional.

    Plus, Jesse was just like, so hot, yeah?

  14. Re:NICE RACK!! BayBeeeeee! on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! · · Score: 1

    But padded bras don't jiggle! :-(

  15. But what about me? on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! · · Score: 1

    What about us non-anti-social people (also known as just, well, social people)? Will we never be in the movies?

  16. Re:ancillary merchandise on Burnt Coffee and Burnt CDs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think selling potatoes would be much more interesting.

  17. Re:Pack the bags! on Titan Missile Complex Up for Sale · · Score: 1
    Sorted.

    CowboyNeal, however, really needs mousy hair and a weird God complex. Does he fulfill those requirements? If not, I think John Kerry with his hair grown out would make a good Jesus.

    Of course, we could be unique and have a Mohammed, instead.

  18. Re:Conceptually interesting, but economically soun on Burnt Coffee and Burnt CDs · · Score: 1
    I agree. 10 dollars is a big chunk of change for their target audience.

    Now, if they had pay-per-hour porn centers, success could be a-brewing. Who wouldn't like to kick back with a cup of java and see burgeoning bosoms before they return to their hectic life in the business world or college?

  19. Re:Core weakness of PageRank on In Google We Trust · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I never type in one or two word searches unless I'm looking for something extremely broad. My searches are usually comprised of at least 5 words. Very effective! My high school G/T History teacher made me the official class Googler a few years ago. I felt special.

  20. Re:6 Billion Pages? on In Google We Trust · · Score: 1

    That definitely sounds a lot cooler.

  21. Scene One on LOTR to Become a London Musical · · Score: 3, Interesting
    [INTRO]:

    to be recited by a middle earthsman with a British accent

    There once was a hobbit named Smeegle
    This Hobbit sure turned rather evil
    He beheld that darned ring
    Yes, that horrid thing
    That made desparate humans to wheedle

    We must destroy that curse
    Nothing could be worse
    Than a crazy wizzard
    With eyes like a lizzard
    For evil, he has a thirst

    I'll take my axe and you your bow,
    And on this mission we'll go
    We'll cross distant lands
    And lend one another a hand
    So let's get on with the show!

    No. However, my ex's beer belches were traumatizing.

    I suppose my inability to type out 'has led' just proves my point.

    Just when I start to think my time at Slashdot hasled to my intelligence quotient gaining a few points (hence, my using the phrase 'intelligence quotient'...it makes me sound cooler), you bring me back down a couple of notches.

  25. Re:Host Your Own Big Brother TV show. on Titan Missile Complex Up for Sale · · Score: 1

    Alas. I suppose I will have to continue formulating my plans for the domination of the world's sexiest geeks from my livingroom. That's not nearly as exciting owning my own potentially operational missile complex.
