  1. Re:TI-99 on "Bookshelf" Computer Wins Design Contest · · Score: 1

    Man I miss my old TI computer. Nothing like writing usless BASIC programs and saving them on the external casette tape. Way too much fun.

  2. I like the new Daleks on Dr. Who on Sci-Fi Channel in March · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here is an image of the new Daleks. They look like they are ready to provide for all of our food mixing and toilet plunging needs.

  3. Green pigs eh? on Taiwan Breeds Transgenic, Fluorescent Green Pigs · · Score: 4, Funny
    So where are the winged pigs already? I would pay good money for one the next time I ask my boss for two weeks of vacation and he says, "You can have two weeks off when pigs fly".

    And while you are creating freaks o' nature, please sign my future offspring up for a pair of wings, skin with chlorophyll, and night vision.

  4. Re:Long way to go yet... on Tapping Trees for Electricity? · · Score: 1

    It gets better: they will use the electricity generated by the tree to power sun lamps shining on the tree, thus creating an unlimited supply of free energy!

  5. Re:A need to hide your music tastes? on iTunes is Malware? · · Score: 1

    Then this "feature" could actually be good news for little bands; imagine if their music gets reported back to iTunes, and they get picked up and sold by iTunes. Or better yet, someone writes malware that contacts the iTunes server and makes it look like everyone and their cousin is listening to some little band......

  6. A need to hide your music tastes? on iTunes is Malware? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Wouldn't iTunes already know all of your music tastes, since presumably you purchased all of your music from them? Granted they would now know that you listen to Britney Spears all day and night, but assuming you got your music through them, what is the big deal here?

  7. Re:Do something useful on Panel Confirms S. Korean Cloning Fraud · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is the REAL future of cloning: clone me up a few of me, so they can all go to work/do chores/etc while I sleep in. Then again if they are all as lazy as I am, they would probably band together and make me do all the work/chores, damn them.

  8. Re:CD-Rs with a 100 year warranty on Burned CDs Last 5 years Max -- Use Tape? · · Score: 1

    It is easier to sell them for twenty times their worth if they have "gold" in them?

  9. This should greatly enhance productivity on Computers That Feel our Mood · · Score: 4, Funny

    You seem depressed Dave, perhaps you would like to look at some porn?

  10. Re:Of course on Your Cell Records For Sale Online, Cheap · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Ernie Rizzo, a Chicago private investigator, said he uses a similar cell phone record service to conduct research for his clients. On Friday, for instance, Rizzo said he ordered the cell phone records of a suburban police chief whose wife suspects he is cheating on her.

    I wonder how Ernie would feel if someone purchased his phone records and found out who his client is? Since he is aware that phone records are for sale, isn't his statement the same thing as releasing his client's name and identifying her husband? If that is the case, it seems like she (or her husband) could sue the living daylights out of him.

  11. Excellent! I needed help with New Years resolution on Motorola Unveils iRadio · · Score: 4, Funny
    The iRadio service will cost about $7 (4 pounds) a month...

    Can I choose to pay the 4 pounds a month instead of dollars? I did resolve to lose some weight and I figure at 4 pounds a month I can keep the service for at least a year until I am down to a reasonable weight.

  12. Re:Clothing, eh? on Santa Shopped Online This Year · · Score: 2, Funny

    Luckily I am guessing that many of the online clothing purchases consisted of about 9 square inches of actual fabric with lots of elastic straps. At least thats what I asked for from Santa before they threw me out of the mall anyway.

  13. Simple solution on How To Enable Mom w/ Encrypted E-Mail? · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...encryption does me no good if the recipient can't decode it.

    Simply included an encrypted and plaintext version in every email; problem solved!

  14. Re:prank, you say ? on Great Hacks and Pranks Of Our Time · · Score: 2, Funny

    Probably a mistake. Now if it had popped up a page with a goatse picture on the other hand....

  15. And of course on Great Hacks and Pranks Of Our Time · · Score: 4, Informative

    Like lemmings we click on the bonsai kitten link to find out more. The snopes bonsai kitten link is here.

  16. Excellent advice on Glass Shapes Can Make Us Drink Too Much · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have found that after switching to this glass not only do I typically only fill it half full, I rarely even finish it all.

  17. Re:Times have changed on Intel Launches Pentium Extreme Edition 955 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah but you couldn't play games for the PC like Duke Nukem Forever on your old Atari ST. Oh wait....

  18. I can't wait on Intel Launches Pentium Extreme Edition 955 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    So when do we get to see an Extreme CPU cable channel?

  19. Re:What the fuck is this again? on Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner · · Score: 1

    Actually it should be safe since someone will probably steal it long before it gets rained on.

  20. Yeah but.... on Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner · · Score: 4, Funny
    If you're looking for someone to kick around in CoD multiplayer, I will probably be able to oblige any deep-seated fantasies you may have of shooting a Slashdot editor in the brainpan.

    I still think sniping you through the office window would be easier than getting an Xbox 360 right now however.

  21. Re:My Theory of Keyboard Design on New Keyboard Has Just 53 Keys · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sadly, Moresnet no longer exists :-(

  22. Re:Wait on Testing Drugs on India's Poor · · Score: 2, Informative

    'Ship Breaking' is indeed incredibly harsh and toxic work.

  23. Wait on Testing Drugs on India's Poor · · Score: 4, Funny

    So now we are outsourcing the jobs of lab animals to India?? And I shudder to think what the "No Indian testing" label will be in Europe (maybe a big hand patting a meditating guru on the head?)

  24. Re:Oh, no... on Hacking Santa · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even better, how about returning him for a new one? Just imagine how happy some unsuspecting person will be when they hear the new modified Santa they just bought from Walmart. Plus you can keep hacking/returning them until Walmart runs out of Santas or has you thrown in jail.

  25. Re:Great idea! on Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass · · Score: 4, Funny

    Luckily if you drive backwards down the onramp back onto the freeway your car gains energy.
