  1. simp quote on Paul Samuelson Challenges Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Questions are decadent!
    Lazyness is counterrevolutionary!
    Fast hands mean less whipping!

  2. Re:Depressing trend on Paul Samuelson Challenges Outsourcing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'll have to second the parent.
    We need to consider the possibility that part of the reason for outsourcing jobs from the US is that a sizeable portion of the people here are lazy, incompetent jerks. Few people want to admit it, but we all know at least one person who lost their job in the past three years and *deserved* to. If you don't know that person, you might just be that very same person.

  3. If I were a TV network . . . on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    I would think that if a network exec wanted to air f911, [s]he would probably want their network to at least *try* to appear unbiased. So in the spirit of the equal-time concept, a similar right-leaning crockumentary could be aired. This brings up the question, what would this be, if it does exist?

  4. As an EE, I still think this will be dangerous. on Cellphones Usable on Airplanes in 2006? · · Score: 1

    it's a menace to itself and everything else in the air...
    yes, birds too.

  5. video on removable hard drives . . . on Three Minutes With Mark Cuban · · Score: 1

    Its a good idea. I've been offloading pr0n to my 90M bernoulli disks for years now. No, really.

  6. not the same company on IBM Recalls 553,000 Laptop Power Units · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just if you were curious, the IBM and Apple batteries are not manufactured by the same company. Apple's are manufactured by LG Chem, Ltd. of South Korea, IBM's are manufactured by Delta Electronics Inc. of Taiwan. Some other information of possible interest: I own one of the Apple laptop batteries to be recalled and have never had any problems with it. The surface near the cpu does get quite hot, however. Not unbearable though.

  7. blast! on IBM Recalls 553,000 Laptop Power Units · · Score: 3, Funny

    I am so sick of people stealing Apple's ideas.

  8. tradeoffs . . . on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    Many people here think these newer bead reactors are the way to go, and I agree. So, are you slashdotters prepared to hold your nose and vote for Bush to get it done? Not a troll, I swear. I really would like to see what its worth to you people. Its not going to happen under any other candidate in the next four years.

  9. WARNING: Persons denying the existence of Robots.. on First All-Artificial Feature Film Released · · Score: 1

    ... may be robots themselves http://nimon.ncc.com/pipermail/dprglist/2003-Octob er/010808.html

  11. Re:So does this mean... on First-Ever Private Spaceport Nears Final Approval · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will Han shoot first in this one?

  12. bah on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Maybe if they removed the surfing scene, or deleted Poochie altogether, everything would be okay.

    (Note: Poochie died on the way back to his home planet)

  13. Poochie on Star Wars Episode III : Birth Of The Empire · · Score: 1

    No one has mentioned Poochie yet?
