  1. Must mention on Blue Ring Around Uranus · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My doctor gave me a very effective cream for this condition..

    You just smear it on the optics of the telescope and voila, no more rings!

  2. Housecleaning on 360 Bundles Lead To Best Buy Housecleaning · · Score: 3, Funny

    About time someone cleaned up those stores a bit. Dirty bastards with all that yellow and blue...nauseating.

  3. Oh well.. on Nielsen Adapting To Modern TV-Watching · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Too damn late for Farscape or Futurama...

  4. Re:One other thing on Siberian Permafrost Melting · · Score: 1
    At least we are going to get back all that farmland in Siberia that was froozen during the last Ice Age.


    You mean the Northern Resource Area, right? ;)

    Hey, didn't we try that last election?
  6. Re:[Addendum] on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 1
    Remember when the Discovery Channel was all about actual learning and knowledge?

    On a related note, remember when MTV involved music?

    And the Republican party was conservative?


    Pepperidge Farm remembers!
  7. Confusion on LA City Votes For Municipal Fiber Network · · Score: 2, Funny
    Anybody else think that title could have been worded better to avoid confusion with the more common LA?


    I wholeheartedly agree! After looking all around Los Alamos, the only computer related stuff we could find were some old, discarded hard drives http://tinyurl.com/btatd.
  8. Re:UN-effective and neutered, on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1
    The Un is about as effective as moldy wet bread.


    Umm...have you ever heard of a thing called penicillin?

    Maybe a better metaphor for your comment would have been "as effective as moldy wet lasagne."

  11. Re:thin atmosphere on Cassini's Got Pictures And Data · · Score: 1
    Wouldn't that be an atmotorus?


    Actually, yes! Pretty phenomena, but they aren't as rare as the illusive atmododecahedron. Those angled gasses are usually only found in geometry class...

  12. Re:Agree or disagree with him... on Wil Wheaton Strikes Back · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Like him or dislike him...but I wish every slashdot writer was so thoughtful and lucid.


    I think that most of us would sound more thoughtful and lucid if we were to take 7 months to contemplate our answers. :)

    Still, nicely written piece. I very much appreciate good writing, wherever I see it.
  13. Re:star trek on Cold Fusion in a Breadbox Instead of a Bottle · · Score: 1
    I Sir am the inventor of Mr. Fusion.

    I feel it necessary to clear up some confusion.


    You had a nice little limerick-sort-of-poem-thing started there...keep going.
  14. Re:Cohabitation on The Science of Star Wars · · Score: 4, Funny
    The Nabooians (naboos?) are human.


    I believe the proper plural for the people of Naboo is "Nabooniks."

    This is a far cry more dignified than the residents of Tatooine, which are referred to as "Tatooweenies."

  15. Obligatory quote from fictional A.I. on Effort to Create Virtual Brain Begins · · Score: 1
    Bite my shiny metal ass.

  16. Re:Does this happen much? on Online Shoppers Naive About Online Prices · · Score: 1

    Would that I had a mod point to give you for +1 informative.

    I had no idea such sites like that were out there. I get most electronics via employee purchase/discount, so had never thought to look for the down-low cheapest price.

    Thanks!

  18. Re:Further down in the report... on Before You Fire the Company Geek · · Score: 1

    Yes indeed. For instance, almost 100& of the individuals reading this sentence are literate.

    One can 'prove' anything with statistics. That's why they're generally useless.

  19. Two things on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 2, Informative

    I thought up all kinds of foods people aren't likely to have in front of a computer, like Maine Lobster with Drawn Butter. However, sticking (pun intended) to foods one might actually try to eat while geeking it up a notch, I thought about two of my favorites: soup (most any kind) and Swiss Miss pudding cups. These bastards more or less ruin a keyboard.

    So I went and bought one of these http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog_name =CTLG&product_id=26-773# and now I can actually wash the keyboard in the sink with the dishes.

    Not much of anything has ever stuck permanently on this new keyboard.

  23. Re:Conversion units on Sanswire Demonstrates First Stratellite · · Score: 1

    First, thank you for voting.

    Second, I wasn't referring to Jr.'s origin, but the last state he held as governor.

    Third, what argument? I'm making a farking JOKE.

    Fourth, the ad hominem attack of calling me an asshole has proven that your sense of humour was removed at birth. That is contrary to most Texans I've met, who smile large and friendly even when they don't know you.

    So, quit thinking I'm smearing Texas, you insensitive clod!

    As a new resident of Texas, I can assure you that _all_ Texas is Imperial.

    So should I throw away all my reference books and keep just one encyclopaedia?


    No, you should throw out all your reference books including that one encyclopaedia. Then you may call yourself a publicly educated American Citizen. :)
