    And 5 million reverts.

  2. Re:New phone - apps transfer? on TomTom Releases iPhone Navigation App · · Score: 2, Funny

    This being /. perhaps the units of currency should be quatloos or bars of gold-pressed latinum.

  5. Re:Pardon? on Parents Baffled By Science Questions · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is the question "Where do babies come from?" really a science question?

    Yes. Geography to be specific. Croydon to be precise.

  6. Re:Operation AJAX on Iran Getting Better At Filtering Web Traffic · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why do people think that client-side JavaScript is the answer to everything?


    P.S. It's REALLY amusing to me that Firefox' built-in spill chucker doesn't recognize the word "javascript".

    If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour ... you're gonna see some serious shit.

    Curly: "Well, I put in the antimatter."
    Larry: "You put in the antimatter?!? You're crazy - I put in the antimatter!"
    Moe: "You're both wrong, I put in the antimatter."

  9. Re:Reimage is the least waste of time. on How Can I Tell If My Computer Is Part of a Botnet? · · Score: 1

    It is absolutely breathtaking to me that people think the above behavior is somehow "normal".

  10. Dear Slashdot on How Can I Tell If My Computer Is Part of a Botnet? · · Score: 1, Funny

    While my father was cleaning his gun, he loaded it and emptied the clip into his foot. He then reloaded and pumped another four slugs into the same foot. So I was wondering, does any one know where I can get a good deal on Band-Aids? Thanks.

  11. Re:To be used in court cases how? on Psychopaths Have Brain Structure Abnormality · · Score: 1

    To me, it seems more likely that we'll be seeing such scans used by the defense. "My client is a victim here, too. A victim of his chromosomes".

    Dude, Summer Glau is so going to rip your beating heart out of your chest out for that.

  15. Re:USAF Holler! on 10th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    Real calls I've gotten:
    1) "The printer stops printing when it runs out of paper".
    2) "Can you make this report print darker?" (Attached to a fax of a xerox of a dot-matrix printout).

    And the ubiquitous 2:30 A.M. call from the machine room operator:
    Him: "Batch job xxx.yyy aborted"
    Me: "What does the log file say?"
    Him: "Let me check..."

  16. Re:From Mogwai to Gremlin on BIOS "Rootkit" Preloaded In 60% of New Laptops · · Score: 1

    Heh. Parent is "flamebait"; like the masses are going to rise up and hotly defend Windows ME.

    Extraordinary

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Oh, I don't know; 40 femtoseconds is a significant fraction of my attention span.

  22. Re:Could not care less. on Tron Legacy Exposed · · Score: 1

    I remember thinking how much it stole from "Through the Looking-Glass". Also, the InfoWorld (which was then primarily a CP/M weekly newspaper) review was titled "The (Disney) Empire Strikes Back".
