  1. It's better to observe... on Using Copyrights To Fight Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    ... than to just make stuff up!

  2. How Crass, How Gauche... on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    How very Provincial!

  3. It Was the Other Way... on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 1

    Weird, but for me, shoplifting came first (sometime in the late eighties), and then I started downloading music illegally around 1998.

  4. Shoplifting... on States Push to Collect Online Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    Great, now I'll have to go back to shoplifting to get those great deals!

  5. Not Entirely Accurate on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: 1

    In the only accident I've been in where my airbag deployed, my car was still running after impact and I was able to pull off the road.
    Granted, several thousands of dollars' worth of repairs were needed, but those all involved the completely bashed-in body, not the ECU.

  6. Next time... on Securing Mac OS X Tiger · · Score: 4, Funny

    Grab it by the toe.

    Wear good earplugs.

  7. Kevin Bacon... on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    Where does he connect to that?!?

  8. Mod Parent Up Past 5! on Death Star Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    Seriously, that's the funniest damn thing I've ever read on here. +10 Funny needs to be invented just for this one post!

  9. I did that... on White Lies Help Stressed Computer Users · · Score: 1

    Worked graveyard at an ISP on it's way down (not my fault). I lived the dream and caught at least 3 hours a night under my desk.

  10. So his comrades... on Shrimp Bandages Clot Blood Faster · · Score: 1

    applied Insta-Clot, and they survived?

  11. Re:Wow! What a question to ask on Slashdot... on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    You meant to write: [you], "you're", "grammar", "technology", "etc.", "grammar", "don't", "embarrassed", "can't", "that's", "It's", "don't", "wasting", "English", and "criticise" or "criticize".

    Since you have come to terms with your inability to spell, may I call you a lazy idiot without you getting offended?

  12. Nice muscles in that throwing arm on Judge Denies TigerDirect's Request for Injunction · · Score: 1

    I've got a tip for you in my pocket... but my arthritis... why don't you reach in there and get it?

  13. Re:Why is this so confusing? on From Carnivore to Herbivore · · Score: 2, Funny

    There went breakfast.

  14. He Also Lusted After His Sister... on How Lightsabers Work · · Score: 1

    ... So be careful what you admire publicly!

  15. How a Webserver works... on How Lightsabers Work · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whoops, guess it's already too late for that one...

  16. That's where the crushed pepper comes out. on The Bender PC Case · · Score: 1

    You have to turn his head to grind it, though...

  17. Kzin on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    I, for one, will purchase a retail copy of our new felinoid overlords...

  18. Obligatory Simpsons Paraphrase... on Utah Considers Forcing ISPs to Filter Content · · Score: 1

    Come see how the Mormon Church is changing to meet the needs of today's young people!

  19. I Wish I'd Taken Physics... on Double-Slit Experiment in Time, Not Space · · Score: 1

    ... instead of Journalism. My brain hurts.

  20. Re:Why USB 2.0? on Apple Backing Away From FireWire · · Score: 1

    USB is also ubiquitous on those Macs. A single USB cable will work for all of the iPod's target platforms, and users who want more speed and have a capable computer can always buy a cheap FireWire cable.

  21. They're semi-cousins. on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trailer · · Score: 1

    It says so somewhere in at least one of the books.

  22. Longhorn... on Digital Life and Evolution · · Score: 1

    That's one way to get it out the door faster!

  23. Re:Why not a key? on MS Employee Calls for No More Passwords · · Score: 1

    I like the idea of a USB key, because even a sub-average user is accustomed to keeping their physical keychain somewhat safe.

  24. No, it's redundant. on Windows Longhorn Beta for June Release · · Score: 1

    No, it's redundant.

  25. They used a regular webserver... on Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls · · Score: 1

    To receive /. calls!
