    That or they get some contestants with decent boobies.

  2. Re:Nitrates? on Dutch Town Lays Air-Purifying Concrete · · Score: 1

    They're just like Germans, but without the sense of humor!

  3. Re:Ugly guys shouldn't comment on appearance on The DIY Dialysis Machine · · Score: 1

    personality and being funny trumps all.

    And here's nothing more hilarious than being a billionaire!

  4. Re:Lynx? on The DIY Dialysis Machine · · Score: 1

    What use is lynx for that, it's text only?

    Ah. You said 'slacking off'. My bad!

  5. Ob on Why Game Developers Go Rogue · · Score: 1

    How could anybody abandon the steady paychecks, access to the best tools and engines, large teams of skilled colleagues and the glory of working on one of next holiday season's blockbusters

    No blackjack? No hookers? I think that's the answer, right there.

  6. Film at 10 on Subject to Change · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Film at 10. Or 11. Whatever.

  7. Re:Nitrates? on Dutch Town Lays Air-Purifying Concrete · · Score: 5, Funny

    The nitrates can't run off into the oceans, because Holland is below sea level.

  8. Re:The captain? on Scotty's Final Mission · · Score: 5, Funny

    Who was the captain aboard this vessel?

    That's wessel (as in nuclear), you insensitive clod!

  9. Re:I dunno on Toyota Announces the Winglet, Wannabe Segway Killer · · Score: 1

    A group that rides a Segway? Do they take turns, or do they go in for a more creative approach?

  10. Re:Common sense on India's "$10 Laptop" To Cost $100 After All · · Score: 2, Informative

    Was it a dry kind of sausage, like salami? If so, the reason is probably water loss.

  11. Re:Give it a day... on India's "$10 Laptop" To Cost $100 After All · · Score: 2, Funny

    That was this morning, it'll be 20 trillion by lunchtime.

    - J.F. Kennedeski

  13. Re:Short answer... no on Are We Searching Google, Or Is Google Searching Us? · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The internet" cannot be searched, there's no protocol for it

    The real reason is that some of the tubes are bent, and you can't see round corners.

  14. Re:For Old Time's Sake on Sen. Ted "Tubes" Stevens Is Indicted · · Score: 1

    Lobbiests have this much influence over our senators

    No, lobbiests are people who are the best at throwing a ball on a high plunging trajectory. Those who can do this with a good level of skill are merely lobby and those who are a little better are lobbier.

  15. Re:Conversions on Software Price Gap Between the US and Europe · · Score: 1

    BTW I didn't know them off by heart (I'm not that much of a nerd!) - I might even have gotten FP if I hadn't needed to look them up.

  16. Re:Real question: Why can they? on Software Price Gap Between the US and Europe · · Score: 3, Funny

    European countries must be backward and poor - just look at how thin all the people are!

  17. Re:The problem isn't the education. on How Do You Fix Education? · · Score: 1

    one of the largest criticisms of math courses (which is, in some respects, quite true) is that the majority of people who learn it will never use 99% of what they learn in there.

    I never used 99% of the math I learned. As for the other 21%, I guess I just forgot it.

  18. Re:Fix it at home on How Do You Fix Education? · · Score: 1

    These people react to any new thought as if it were a virus to be resisted.

    That's a bit of an over-generalisation. Darwin's been dead over a century and they still don't like evolution.

  19. Just to be on the safe side. on Software Patent Sanity on the Way? · · Score: 1

    I've just patented a method for evaluating the credibility of a statement relative to some predefined threshold level, based on direct visual evidence.

  20. Conversions on Software Price Gap Between the US and Europe · · Score: 5, Funny

    E570 is not $900; it's stearic acid. E366 is potassium fumarate.

  21. what? on Police Director Sues AOL For Critical Blogger's Name · · Score: 5, Funny

    is interestingly

    I don't know whether to be amusingly or annoyingly about the quality of the editing round here.

  22. Re:Who really gets paid? on EU Proposes Retroactive Copyright Extension · · Score: 1

    That's the first time I've ever seen a slashdot post about the other kind of pw4n.

  23. Slow news day? on Doing the Laptop Drive of Shame · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slow news day ... or no news day?

  24. Re:Browser-based OS on The Next Browser Scripting Language Is — C? · · Score: 1

    The normal excuse for not reading the summary is that usually it bears no relation to the article anyway.

  25. Re:News for nerds. Stuff that mattters??? on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm tiered

    Just go and layer down for while.
