  1. I gotta say on IBM Pushing Microsoft-Free Desktops · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...Microsoft-free personal computing choices...

    Has a nice ring to it, don't it?

  2. Re:"found" or "constructed" on A Quasi-Quasicrystal · · Score: 1

    Indeed. If it is naturally occurring, it should be called a quasi-quasicrystal, but if it is manmade, it should be called a pseudo-quasicrystal :D

  3. He warned 'em on Scotty's Final Mission · · Score: 4, Funny

    "She canna take much more 'o this - she'll blow!"

  4. Re:640 words? on Gates Issues Call For "Creative Capitalism" · · Score: 2, Funny

    There is no reason for any individual to have a dictionary in his home.

  5. Re:Text-free UI? on Gates Issues Call For "Creative Capitalism" · · Score: 5, Funny

    640 words should be enough for anyone.

  6. Re:What does Netcraft have to say? on NVidia Reportedly Will Exit Chipset Business · · Score: 1, Troll

    Or at least has Gartner predicted it won't happen?

    There, fixed that for you.

  7. Re:The motion to adjourn passed... on House Dems Turn Out the Lights On the GOP · · Score: 3, Funny

    Exactly. Robert's Rules of Order, do you speak it motherfucker?

  8. Re:Internets... on Yale Students' Lawsuit Unmasks Anonymous Trolls · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sister Bernice always warned me that things were going to Go On My Permanent Record.

  9. Re:Usenet thrives for those willing to pay on R.I.P Usenet: 1980-2008 · · Score: 1

    No, I'm not posting your fills. Get a real news service n00b, and a real newsreader while you're at it. I posted all the PARs (in yEnc) that I'm going to. Go whine to your mommy.

  10. Re:So what was your favorite newsgroup name? on R.I.P Usenet: 1980-2008 · · Score: 4, Funny

  11. Re:Low Gravity and Viscous Liquids on Liquid Lakes On Saturn's Moon Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Ethane BOILS at -88 C, so skip the zinc oxide and pack some mittens and earmuffs.

  12. Re:Duh on UK Hacker Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think the sysadmins who set up a "secure military system" that could be breached by an amateur on the internet should be executed.

  13. Re:Ah the Uk on UK Hacker Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some of us here in the States are pretty fed up with the US throwing its weight around on the world stage, also.

  14. Re:I wouldn't mind doing this on Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad · · Score: 2, Informative

    What part of "pay by credit card" didn't you get?

  15. Re:What's the big deal? on Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad · · Score: 3, Funny

    Never has a nick matched a post so well.

  16. Re:I wouldn't mind doing this on Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I AM against telco immunity. I'm against domestic wiretapping. I'm against an administration that blatantly disregards the Constitution and regards everything they do as legal, simply because they are doing it. However, hard experience has taught me that contributing to ANY cause gets me on mailing lists for "similar" causes - whether I want to be or not.

  17. I wouldn't mind doing this on Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    if I wouldn't end up on a spamlist for every new tree-hugging wackjob cause that comes down the pike.

  18. Remember what Barbie said: on No Gap Found In Math Abilities of Girls, Boys · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Math is hard! Let's go shopping!"

  19. Re:Wow, good job! on Robocars As the Best Way Geeks Can Save the Planet · · Score: 5, Funny

    People have hypothesized female Slashdot readers before, but I think it's easier to find a Higgs boson.

  20. Re:Wow, good job! on Robocars As the Best Way Geeks Can Save the Planet · · Score: 1

    See the little asterisk? It means he's a subscriber. They can read articles from the future.

  21. Re:Its going to land how? on First Images of Russian-European Manned Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    I thought this at first, too. But if they're using the thrusters for deceleration, rather than a "soft" landing, then it makes more sense. It would lessen full reliance on fragile tiles or replacing ablative shielding.

  22. Re:This is not true, according to NASA on NASA May Hire Japanese Spacecraft For ISS Service Mission · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Strangely, though, the announcement referenced isn't on NASA's recent press releases page.

  23. Re:Energy supply for the cloud cities on Floating Cities On Venus · · Score: 1

    Thanks. Now I wonder where I "learned" that?

  24. Re:Energy supply for the cloud cities on Floating Cities On Venus · · Score: 0

    I've actually considered this. Mercury is a better choice, though, because it's tidally locked to Sol. (i.e. the hot side is always hot and the cold side is always cold.)

  25. Re:Beginning of the End on Inside the Lego Factory · · Score: 1

    I always assumed it was done inside a large switch() statement.
