  1. Re:Mac Mini v2? on Mac mini to PC Hack · · Score: 1

    That picture made my chest constrict, making it hard to breathe and leading to me feeling faint.
    How the hell is that guy going to get OUT of there?!?
    Yuck.

  2. Several reboots? on Microsoft in 2008 · · Score: 1

    So in other words, within the first 1/2 hour?

  3. Yes, that's the point. on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 1

    Thanks for reinforcing it!

  4. At this point? on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 1

    Watch all three Matrices in order... you'll get better value.

  5. Bring on the O2 Deprivation! on Volcanic Warming Eyed in 'Great Dying' · · Score: 1

    I live in Denver!

  6. Semiconductor! on The Threat From Life on Mars · · Score: 1

    Whatever else happens, I hope we've already seeded Mars' atmosphere with a bacterium that eats semiconductor!

  7. Re:It's not a question of spam on Gates 'World's Most-Spammed Man' · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm sure OS X's Mail program's Junk Mail feature keeps the spam away from Steve...

  8. Home Schooling on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: 1

    OK, given how much crappier the public school experience is than when I was a child (I was never tracked like this, or shot at for that matter), I think it's time to start home-schooling my kids. Anybody have any info on how to get started?

  9. I For One... on Ion-Propulsion Craft Reaches The Moon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ... Welcome our new, Lunar-based European overlords!

  10. Oh Shit... on Frame Dragging by Earth Reconfirmed · · Score: 1

    There goes the planet!

  11. Re:Preload gets erased on first use? Huh? on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can just use a file utility to view Invisible files... the iPod shows up as a hard drive to the rest of the (not iTunes) system, and the music is in an invisible folder. Copy it over to your hard drive and do whatcha like.

  12. Good Plot For Ep. 7! on Detailed Empire Strikes Back DVD Change List · · Score: 1

    Sounds more entertaining than 1 & 2... "Star Wars: My Dinner with Sarlaac".

  13. There is no try! on George Lucas to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award · · Score: 1

    Do, or do not!

  14. I For One... on Mt. St. Helens Magma Reaches Surface · · Score: 5, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our new molten magma, uh, underlords!

  15. Sean Penn's Semi-literate and... on Review of Team America World Police · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ... apparently completely incapable of understanding satire, parody, OR irony.
    Unless Drudge made that thing up.

  16. Sarcasta.net /.'ed? on Review of Team America World Police · · Score: 1

    Seems pretty slow... does she like having a link in the review?

  17. Re:It has began on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Well, I for one welcome our new Self-Aware Car Overlords!

  19. Re:UHF reference? on Animated Short - This Wonderful Life · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Are you ready, Fifi? Are you psyched?"

    "ARF Arf arf THUD!"

  20. A HAT!?! on Animated Short - This Wonderful Life · · Score: 1

    Tell that to my kids... or my spit-covered house. Top of the head is NOT where anything ends up.

  21. The Problem Only Applies to Public Schools! on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    I've read all of the comments posted so far, and some of the linked book. It all echoes exactly what I experienced in public school. Public schools are holding pens, more interested in making sure you know how to stand quietly in line and say the Pledge. I've been thinking and saying this (and more!) for years.
    OTOH, my wife spent K-12 in a private school, Kinkaid http://www.kinkaid.org/ , and she and her classmates were taught how to govern. Their teachers actually made them think!

  22. Re:What is unfair here? on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 1

    "The headline of the Slashdot article makes it seems like he said flat out that Windows will be insecure for 10 years. Which isn't true, and which isn't what he said."

    I betcha it IS true, whatever he said!

  23. Re:Answer. on Senator Blacklisted by No-Fly List · · Score: 1

    Mark the above post's words!
    Slashdot should have a new modifier, "Eerily prescient".

  24. Re:Same old, same old on Apple Patents 'Chameleon' Computer Case · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and then unfortunately,
    3) Profit!!

  25. Re:uhm, what purpose does the RIAA serve again? on Recording Industry Hoist By Their Own Petard · · Score: 1

    Let's have fun & adopt a new name, bypassing Phillips!
    I nominate "DVDA". That should create a host of new, exciting IP problems!
