  1. H. Vs. Zombies on Roleplayers Seek Removal of Nerf Gun Ban · · Score: 1

    We have our own Human vs. Zombies games here at Rochester Institute of Technology. We had to stop last semester due to (I think) someone falling over while running away in the game, and ending up needing stitches when his head and the pavement met. I guess it's not really the nerf guns that do the damage ... ?

  2. Re:Nuclear bunkers obsolete on Are Wikileaks Servers In a Nuclear Bunker? · · Score: 1

    Actually, they calculated a 80% chance of a miss, a 19% chance of a hit, and a 1% chance of the enemy missile hitting the Stargate. :-)

  3. Re:Hey baby... on Command Line Life Partner Wanted · · Score: 1

    Yeah baby let's do some unprotected forking, what's the worse that could happen? :(){ :|:& };:

  4. H2G2 on Star Trek-like 'Phraselator' Helps Police · · Score: 3, Funny

    >> a VOCON 3200 Speech Recognizer
    A VOGON 3200 speech recognizer? Don't the Vogons use Babel Fish like the rest of us? :-)

  5. Re:Careful there. . . on Netbeans 6 Dual-Licensed Under GPLv2, CDDL · · Score: 1

    And, if you've been using vim, ed is worth a look. Ed is lean, fast, and is the standard text editor. :-)

  6. Re:PS3 on New Password Recovery Technique Uses CPU and GPU Together · · Score: 1

    The GPU of the PS3 is greatly disabled in PS3's linux mode via Sony's hypervisor, probably to keep 3rd party games, indie dev, etc out of the picture. So that's a negative. Unless Sony wants you to. :-)

  7. Re:Optimistic on Washington State LUG to Hold "Nerd Auction" · · Score: 1

    >> Cats seek your companionship when they want to be fed. I read this as "when they are a Fed", and I turned around and looked at my cat suspiciously. Sorry, Mr. Whiskers. I know you don't work for the NSA... I think?

  8. Re:Soo.... on TorrentSpy Must Preserve Data In RAM For MPAA · · Score: 1

    Ah, so that's why Windows refers to swap as "Page" file...

  9. Re:chinese online vendors == $$ on Microsoft Cuts Vista Price To $66 In China · · Score: 1

    Somewhere, thousands of brown coats died reading that. Bill Gates, the reason that Earth-that-was adopted Chinese/English? Blasphemy! We all know is was just the popularity of Red Flag Linux and Turbolinux that made everyone need to speak some Chinese... :-)

  10. Squirrel-Bots on High-Tech Squirrels Trained to Conduct Espionage · · Score: 4, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our new electronic-squirrel overlords.

  11. Fighting spam? on ISPs Starting To Charge for 'Guaranteed' Email Delivery · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How does it fight spam if the spammer can ask to be whitelisted, or if the spammer can pose as or actually be a business operating for more than a year? Lame.

  12. Re:Alternative fuels. on Launch Date Announced for Shuttle Mission STS-117 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Technically speaking, the boosters are solid fuel, you insensitive clod. That large orange external tank on the other hand stores the Liquid Oxygen/Hydrogen. And, the poster really appears to be talking about the internal fuel cell ones for electricity in the shuttle.

  13. Wait, a WOMAN? on HP Dishonors Warranty If You Load Linux · · Score: 1

    Wait, a woman running Linux? No such thing exists. ARTICLE IS LIES! :-P

  14. Re:IE defaults on Google Reaches Second-Most Visited Site Status · · Score: 1

    >>Why wouldn't you change the default homepage of your browser? Is Microsoft that interesting? Maybe your work/school administrator is smart enough to have nice, roaming profiles that keep your desktop/home page/etc constant with every machine you log into in the network. ... mine aren't that smart. I load up msn every time I open up iexplore.exe. The only way to prevent this is keeping a shortcut to google on my desktop. But their script that synchronizes the desktop to my network drive doesn't always work either... (They also will delete any copies of firefox that students have on their network shares)

  15. Submitter Name on IE Market Share Drops to Lowest Level in Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    So wait, we're trusting a guy named "Mosaic" to give us unbiased browser statistics?

  16. Re:Correction on Free Visual Novel Design Engine Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    On an American compiler, this evaluates to true, but on the binary the Japanese compiler made, this statement evaluates to false. Shame on you for writing non-portable code! Shame!

  17. I'm feeling Lucky on Open Source Malware Search Engine · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I can't believe they didn't implement that button. That was like my favorite button. 'I'm feeling unlucky ~ Downloads the first virus found'? Would have been awesome.

  18. Re:The author definitely on Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? · · Score: 1

    The author definitely has a limited amount of time ... he's definitely in line for 'the slacker' award. There's a distro for that...

  19. Re:99. chokuegambo on 100 Things We Didn't Know This Time Last Year · · Score: 4, Funny

    Clearly, you haven't been playing Japanese games like Final Fantasy. I spent years inbreeding my chokuegambos until I got the illustrious Golden Chokuegambo!

  20. Re:not sure.... on Bandwidth Challenge Results · · Score: 1

    They were mostly likely using the storage capacity of a dvd disc as a reference, probably referring to the single-sided single-layer variety, which is around 4.7 gigs.

  21. Re:Why would you want a 3Ghz CPU? on Intel Roadmap Update: The Art of Naming Processors · · Score: 1

    >>the value version of almost any video card, while carrying a higher model and often price tag than it's >>full-blown predecessor, is usually lower in performance.

    Not really. ATI and Nvidia are in the practice of adding fake cool-sounding acronyms like "XT" or "GT" and "PE" to the ends of their model names. Plus, the the leading digit tends to be more of a generational marker, which means that a 6800 GT nvidia would be faster than a 7200-whatever nvidia, probably.
    Plus, each of the manufacturers sells a crippled version of their cards that has its own acronym, but keeps the original model number...
    Confusing, at least to the casual PC user.
    Not confusing to a mac user... because they only get 1% of those cards!
    Hah! I slay myself.

  22. Re:I'm shocked on 2005 IgNobel Prize Awards · · Score: 1

    No, his is the study of the most pounds of sweat excreted over a five minute period, yelling only the word, "Developers"... Physists speculate the sheer amounts of metabolized substances required to produce such a feat cannot be obtained using only euclidian geometry.

  23. What an Old Story on Wild Gorillas Impress With Their Tools · · Score: 2, Funny

    Really now, slashdot. I'm ashamed. You call yourselves technophiles? My buddies and I were on 'the scene' of these new technologies 6,000 years ago! Honestly!

  24. Re:Linux support on ATI Launches Crossfire... Finally · · Score: 1

    ha! But in all seriousness, ATI has gotten much better as of late with their linux drivers, and now even a complete newbie can install them, which is quite a plus, considering most slashdotters would care to see the rise of linux on the home/newbie front.

  25. Re:Heh on Kernel.org Moves to Oregon · · Score: 1

    Ah, but had you been Kibo, you would have focused your captions not on the server's condition, but upon the overworked, underpayed, and oft neglected traffic cones.
