  1. Re:Education on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    Lots of films.

    Will they be on at 11? More to they point, will they have subtitles?

  2. Re:So they can counterfeit on Report Says China Will Demand Source Code · · Score: 1

    No I don't, please learn to read.

  3. Re:Right for the wrong reasons on Geneticist Claims Human Evolution Is Over · · Score: 1

    If human evolution is slowing, it isn't because of old dudes having mutated sperm.

    Who said it was? The fine article said quite the opposite.

  4. Re:And we would care about this 'woz' WHY, exactly on Steve Wozniak Predicts Death of the IPod · · Score: 1

    Ms Palin (or may I call you Sarah?), have you ever considered signing up for an account here?

  5. Goodbye, cruel world on Steve Wozniak Predicts Death of the IPod · · Score: 4, Funny

    First evolution gets cancelled and now there's no more iPods? If it wasn't for the fact that I've got a ton of money in the bank I think I'd jump off a bridge.

  6. Re:So they can counterfeit on Report Says China Will Demand Source Code · · Score: 5, Insightful

    if you ask me, it's about time profligate western nations got a taste of what it's like at the other end of the stick.

    Brought to you by the two-wrongs-make-a-right department.

    One other thing. Extort doesn't normally take a person or people as its direct object.

  7. Re:I'd like to see more move to this trend on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    Band X puts out a single.

    Ah, the days of 78 rpm...

  8. Re:Not a problem on Managing Personal Electronics and Software In the Workplace · · Score: 1

    porn? well... thats a whole new ballgame.

    A very apt choice of words there.

  9. Re:Religion on Has Superstition Evolved To Help Mankind Survive? · · Score: 1

    I once had a long talk with a Polish priest (snip) One of the most interesting conversations in my life.

    You need to get out more.

  10. Re:FITD vs DITF on Researchers Find Racial Bias In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    Hell I could probably get away with including "applicants must have black hair" on a job ad and get away with it.

    Just stipulate an IQ higher than 80. That'll keep the blondes out.

  11. Re:"Battery" is plural on Environmental Cost of Hybrids' Battery Recycling? · · Score: 1

    Actually battery is plural. The singular form is cell

    Then so is "man" and "prison" - they're both made of cells too.

  12. Re:Before the outrage starts... on J. K. Rowling Wins $6,750 In Infringement Case · · Score: 4, Funny

    How does that NOT fail the "fair use" test?

    Because she's got lots of money and that's not fair? Somebody better call a waaaaghmbulance for NewYorkCountryLawyer!

  13. Re:Well that sounds reasonable. on Google Updates Chrome's Terms of Service · · Score: 1

    That's because MSN search quite frankly sucks. [...] And Microsoft knows it. There's a reason MS tried to buy Yahoo!

    Sticking two things that suck together in the hope that the result won't suck is like trying to make two left shoes into a pair.

  14. Re:2 ideas on States Throw Out Electronic Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    Novelty themed restaurant, where you place your order by "voting".

    And everything on the menu is pork.

  15. Re:I knew a guy who always had headaches on Secure File Storage Over Non-Trusted FTP? · · Score: 1

    Nope, you lost me there. Try telling us which is a BMW and which is a skateboard.

  16. New tag line on Seattle Flushes $5M High-Tech Toilets · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot - news of turds, stuff that splatters.

  17. Re:[offtopic] When did Slashdot change its timezon on US Failing To Prosecute Online Criminals · · Score: 1

    Given that /. is US based then it wouldn't be unreasonable to use a US timezone

    But then you'd get into an East coast/wWest coast pissing match over which one.

    The logical thing would be to have it in the preferences, of course. Maybe it is in there. I don't know, because another logical thing worth doing would be to organise the preferences so you have a hope in hell of finding something.

  18. Re:Rare? on Solar Systems Like Ours Are Likely To Be Rare · · Score: 1

    Somebody here probably knows better, but don't the 'wobble' methods involve detecting the resulting doppler shift, which will be greatest if the observer is in the plane of the ecliptic, rather than closer to the star's axis?

  19. Re:Well, that does it... on Solar Systems Like Ours Are Likely To Be Rare · · Score: 1

    Donald Rumsfeld posts on slashdot! Hey, careful, that thing's loa no carrier

  20. Re:And they say ... on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    1500 vials? Sounds like it's a series of test tubes.

  21. Re:There comes a point... on What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    Here in Minnesota ... winter (which comes early here)

    Be fair, it stays later to compensate.

  22. Re:Devil is in the details on Who Owns Your Online Networking Contacts? · · Score: 1

    I patented a method of onomatopoeically representing a fast moving airborne object, and usage of the aforementioned in an ironic context. So look up^H out!

  23. Re:Stupid and Redundant on Let Your Theme Song be Your Password · · Score: 1

    I assume you use a specific file, rather than just name of the song - but then it's just changed the mechanism from something you know to something you have. But that isn't a solution, hence there's no story - so it couldn't be, could it?

  24. Re:Did Obama study throwing US Constit. out window on McCain Campaign Offers Rewards For Turn-Key Comments · · Score: 1

    I didn't know they taught future Constitutional Law professors the proper techniques to be used when throwing the US Constitution out a window.

    They don't - they rightly expect a professor to be able to work it out for himself!

  25. Re:I really dont care for olympics on New Olympics Scoring: No More Perfect 10.0 · · Score: 1

    Or just get a cat.
