  1. Re:AI restaraunt managers...Cylons next? on Computer Manages Restaurant Workers · · Score: 1

    Yes, but (we think that) neither Callie nor Tyrol is a Cylon.

  2. ObEureka on Firefox Crop Circles Prove Intelligent Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Call me when they move on to anal probes.

  3. Re:Space Oats? on Firefox Crop Circles Prove Intelligent Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Space corn can cause big problems as well.

  4. Re:Christian Science Monitor on A Website with Real Science News? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Bush has specifically told the media that God told him to invade iraq. You're the fucking idiot here.

  5. Modify TrueCrypt on Open Source Removable Media Encryption? · · Score: 1

    It shouldn't be that hard to add a check to make sure it only encrypts removable media.

  6. Re:Christian Science Monitor on A Website with Real Science News? · · Score: 1

    The actual story of the CSM is quite interesting--the creator believed that God wanted her to make an unbiased newspaper. I wish more commands from God were like that instead of "Invade Iraq!" and "Blow up the WTC!"

  7. Re:He represents zero threat. on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    You do realize you're describing the Republican members of Congress, and even quite a few Democrats too?

  8. Re:I think I speak for everyone here, on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    You'd think so but the leader of the invasion forces in the Milky Way is female, so no go for Thompson and the Ori.

  9. Re:AI restaraunt managers...Cylons next? on Computer Manages Restaurant Workers · · Score: 1

    I remember the baby, but I don't remember anything about a second baby. And nothing ever is as it appears in science fiction :P

  10. Re:I think I speak for everyone here, on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's actually easier to slingshot him outside of the solar system. Only problem there is that the Goa'uld might get mad.

    It's a longer time between the last season and this next one that gestation!
    Huh?
    End of last season I mentioned that because of the whole second-Sharon's-baby thing.
    My memory of the S2 finale must be faulty because I don't remember this. Care to remind me? Or is this just speculation?
    Unless they're going to have this human-Cylon child age faster.
    That's the most likely route if they're going to deal with the hybrid immediately. By default Cylons don't even age(they seem to just pop out of the resurrection chamber whose name I forget), so this hybrid is very unlikely to age like a normal human did.
    Personally I would like to see more about the "Cylon heroes". I wonder if they're even still there considering that they were going to be 'boxed' until they became 'heroes'.
  12. Re:Just a question, and some thoughts on RIAA Ends Harassment of Grieving Family · · Score: 1

    One idea I heard was to boycott a specific slice of RIAA record labels but to continue buying for others. That way it would be clearer.

  13. Re:What's wrong with IDE? on Terabyte Drive to Debut Later this Year · · Score: 1

    Well, considering that Linux worked much better after I used a different hard drive, nope, it's not Linux's fault that the hard drive sucked. Funny that Linux has to be what's at fault to the Windoze zealots so afraid of change.

  14. Re:Well...a little of both? on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    If Daleks evolved from humans, why are there still humans? EX-TER-MI-NATE!

  15. Re:Sort of like this.... on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 1

    Military guy learns what "dead man's switch" means.

  16. Re:Fool on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 1

    I completely agree. I see quite a few parallels between the modern Arab world and pre-Reformation Europe--the political entaglement with religion, the hatred for even some of their own type(Shi'ite-Sunni fighting and the side-attacks on Eastern Orthodox Christians during the Crusades), and your standard overreaction(Galileo-type stuff being burnt and the reaction to the (not even funny) Mohammed comics)

  17. Re:Psssh. on New 'No Military Use' GPL For GPU · · Score: 1

    Actually, there has never been any attempt to conquer the entire United States by any nation other than England. Besides, I'd actually prefer it if we were all speaking some other language, as most of those languages have a much better logical structure than English.

  18. What's wrong with IDE? on Terabyte Drive to Debut Later this Year · · Score: 1

    SCSI causes nothing but trouble. When I had a SCSI drive it caused all sorts of weird failures--so much that I had to reinstall Linux about 30 times because the drive would report itself as full even though I had barely used it. Now I'm using an 80GB IDE drive which never has any problems whatsoever for me.

  19. Re:MacGyver? on Old Methods Used to Detect Liquid Explosives · · Score: 1

    Richard Dean Anderson no longer has a mullet.

  20. Re:Must be the new linux-based time travel machine on On the Scene at Linux World Expo · · Score: 1

    It's a clone of Apple's Time Machine.

  21. Re:WTH? Moodle and Octave? on 68% of UK Universities and Colleges Use Firefox · · Score: 1

    It was a joke. I wasn't trying to be sexist, just parodying the nature of some Slashdotters to go insane whenever there's a girl posting on Slashdot.

    Yes, I've seen the teaser for season three. *hates having to wait until October*

  23. He didn't forget *P*oland. on The 7 Ways That People Search the Web · · Score: 1

    I think you mean he forgot Roland.

    Yes, but he would be unrelated to the original reference that I made.
