  1. Every time you compile Linux... on The Register Finds Fault In Turion Benchmark Setup · · Score: 1

    ...Heat shorts a processor.

    Please, think of the processors!*

    *Not a jab at Linux but a reference to the masturbate/God/kitten proverb and the temperature those chips can go...

  2. and Steve Irwin told the PM... on Australia-U.S. Trade Agreement Takes First Strike · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Crikey! Isn't that President's toight ass a beauty?"

    the feet of Tony Bliar ...

    Nice subliminal message (even if you didn't mean it).

    Cool... so with the projector you also get realtime shadows!

    Not to mention normal maps, volume texturing and non-planar polygons! Isn't real life cool? ;)

    the Raging One Finger of Darnisus

    You mean the Middle Finger of Game-Loss-Aggravated Profanity?

  4. No, NO. on Ultimate RPG Gaming Table · · Score: 1

    You need Slashdot's Makeshift Tin Foil Hat of Stronger Privacy. That way you can journey past the Immature Hackers, Dwarf Phishers and Overgrown Companies of Middle-Internet with ease.

    Smite the Goblin with your Staff of Whacking!

    (I noticed that in a Playstation magazine years ago.)

  6. Rincon? on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's where my dad was born! Sweet (bitterly of course with IE's reputation).

    What one should be scared of is the "IE 7.0 will feature international domain name (IDN) support" part -- can an IE user disable it like Firefox has (should he desire to use IE of course) before someone *ahem*rincóns them with a bad IDN?

  7. Creative Commons is new licensing scheme? on Creative Commons In the News · · Score: 1

    Then I guess all our errors are belong to MSNBC.

    Somebody set them up a spelling complaint.

  8. Growing threat of pirates? on Console Players Are Pirates · · Score: 1

    Maybe Steve Irwin would know abou--what, console pirates? Nevermind...

  9. It's a lot like Legos...sort of... on Holy LEGO Blocks, Batman! · · Score: 1

    "Hey Joker, l'eggo my sidekick!" TOAST! SYRUP! BITE!

  10. Re:Brilliant... on 'Millipede' Prototype Shown at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    Now you really can enjoy guilty pleasures like porn and Lindsay Lohan singles in privacy!

  11. This is interesting. on Infrared Webcam HOWTO · · Score: 1

    I just wonder why everything turns drab. I guess 'cause it can only get color with the black negative as opposed to the IR filter.

    I'm getting fed up of saying whether it's Sweex specific or not.

    This came very close to replacing my current "Quick! Get pregnant." sig, but since I just put that on (and I love it) it's on my Bio instead. Absolutely hilarious. I bet the next Slashdot cliché/meme will be "But is it Sweex-specific?"

  12. For those who wonder... on Music Piracy Unit Raids ISP in BitTorrent Assault · · Score: 1

    ...that was me by the way. My dad's are big Irwin fan. I just look at the guy* and think WTF? sometimes. At least it's fun to watch and imagine him actually getting mauled. I tried BitTorrent a few times but in the end it was like Lindsay Lohan trying pot: I hated it.** I mean, if you are looking for stuff you have to depend on websites, and having to search them on Google/etc. is a bit scary 'cause the __AAs watch everything even if it's legal. I don't trust anonymizers either, so I'll just stick with actual TV. Or FM radio or something. Otherwise I'd be raided like that ISP.

    *Irwin...and sometimes my dad too when he watches.

    **I, of course, cannot vouch for an actress' truth...but at least she's hot. IMVHO.

  13. Nevermind that post... on Japanese Firms Claim 170Mb/s Service Via Powerline · · Score: 1

    ...at least if T3 servers can upload as fast as shown here.

  14. Re:Original text... on Japanese Firms Claim 170Mb/s Service Via Powerline · · Score: 1
    Translation: We patented our version. Ka-ching!

    Yeah, it is scary how much they'll try to charge for something like this since it's not (from what I see) a government standard (not that such standards are usually free or unencumbered). I just wonder if Sony will see this as an expensive alternative to HomePlug or jump ship and try to lower this one's price. Or better yet, keep working on both and make them, you know, compatible.

    The reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

    I, for one, welcome my bad-girl-gathering sleigh-riding overl--hold on, so that's why I'm single? DAMN YOU SANTA!!!

  15. It's not just pr0n. on Japanese Firms Claim 170Mb/s Service Via Powerline · · Score: 1

    Two words: Vega. Strike.

    (and other streaming/downloading/MMOG uses that other Slashdotters can tell you about; though I seriously wonder, can any server even upload at 170Mb (or 21.25MB)/s?!? I hope the companies in the US are looking at Nihon; they'll get a lot of money from me if they offer it here.)

  16. Re:Why so much security? on Hobbit Movie in Four Years? · · Score: 1
    according to TFA it is a 193* classic.

    <pedantic>No, it's a "193?" classic--otherwise, people could say "What? It wasn't made until A.D.19312345?</pedantic> Also, remember he has made all of these things for profit; he knows anyone can get it for free but he wants tribute from TFM*, so he'd rather have the inevitable^W^W"property-stealing" happen later than sooner by putting it in theaters that'd threaten to get the FBI on your ass if one refuses to give the necessary ticket price. He's asserting the movie is worth something (hell, I would after wasting several years of my life on it). It's not like we have to pay and see King Kong again; we can just ignore it and let him fall into financial oblivion.

    *the fine movie (in Mr. Jackson's opinion at least)

  17. ESRB rating? on Will Wright's Next Game: Spore · · Score: 4, Funny
    Given the popularity of The Sims and the impressive level of polish and humor customary in Wright's work, Spore clearly has amazing potential to become every bit as huge as its predecessor. (And as entertaining -- when your primitive creature mates, the deed is accompanied by romantic guitar and saxophone music.)

    I hope that doesn't mean the more conservative protozoa will try to give it an AO rating.

  18. Re:There is a better option on Senator Calls on NASA to Service Hubble · · Score: 1

    I like the "new Hubble" idea. If you keep servicing the current Hubble, they'd have to deal with the old technology already there, and surely layer over some of it. I think a new one, if it indeed costs less, would have less of the "onion" effect Hubble will soon have with this and later repairs, and will have much more modern gadgets and transmitters.

    (Side note: It's the Johns Hopkins News-Letter. I don't care much for that, but a satellite-TV-guy-turned-mayor might login to Slashdot and complain about it. Or troll the whole site in grief and desperation by promoting a new Manhattan stadium.)

  19. Re:Reading the article... on Stars Have a Weight Limit · · Score: 1
    It does NOT say that stars over 150 solar masses can't exist, only that the cluster is missing them. So, if the Anonymous Coward who walked off with them would own up, everything would be ok.

    I just found him! Boy, was he blushing--oh wait, those were the third-degree burns he got from carrying those giants. Nevermind...

  20. So that means... on AMD Launches Turion Mobile Processor · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...my new laptop won't lower sperm count? Seriously, I can't stand putting a hot laptop on (oddly enough) my lap, so they become tabletops instead for me.

    These Turions better generate less heat or I'd have lost all hope. And feeling in my groin.

  21. Re:PG-13! on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    They'd mod you down because of the Nathalie, fool.</pedantic> Seriously, I too can't wait.

    I don't have much hatred for the films, and I think Lucas made a calculated attempt to bring in younger viewers with the "dream-raping" Eps I and II; those "kid-friendly" ones *cough*JarJar*cough* would make parents bring in their kids, and the grown kids would be subconsciously inspired (by the hauntings years before) to watch Ep. III with the others waiting to watch how Anakin become Vader after seeing Eps. IV-VI; the result would be double Profit! (prepend Underpants Gnomes list jokes there) Oh, yeah, and Natalie...me likes...

  22. Re:What does that mean? on EA To Pay Overtime Wages · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Unfortunately, labor laws have not kept pace with this spirit of entrepreneurialism, innovation and creativity.

    EA are calling the overworked developers entrepreneurs and creative innovators, while blaming their government (labor laws) for their own harsh treatment. They are saying "Ha! We can work our programmers however much we want, make them jump through coding and debugging hoops, and the U.S. doesn't do a damn thing to stop us! T3H P0RG4MM3RS R PWN3D!! OMG WTF LOL!!1!one" or something like that. (Only EA does it in "marketroid" speak, of course, not l33t or English or any non-press-release-worthy language.)

  23. Obligatory quote... on MiniMo(zilla) Running on Windows Mobile · · Score: 1

    I shall call him, MIN--oh wait, its a browser? *scrambles to check TFA*

    It does look awesome (assuming it works on other pages besides Google). Hopefully that means I can get local news, my professors' homework and the answer to life the universe and everything at the same time, in case I forget one or all of them. (Which would be bad.)

  24. Re:You're asking me? on Is Blogging Journalism? · · Score: 1

    Someone please kill that blogosphere word already. It conjures up images of shows like Inside Politics et al. with people who actually try to say words like these, as if we need more buzzwords in our lives. I dunno about all of you but I can't stand this term. Or blog for that matter.

    Still, I agree, I too wonder what the people behind the pages think of their work.

  25. Re:Reinvent on RollerMouse Aims to Replace the Traditional Mouse · · Score: 1
    Everyone is trying to reinvent the (mouse) wheel these days.

    Yeah, and I still haven't heard of smooth (as opposed to notched) mouse wheels *searches Google to make sure*

    Thank thank you. I'll be here all week.
