  1. Re:Holy crap, that's my site on The Crawlspace Tankcam · · Score: 1

    Wow thanks, now I can finally justify getting a remote control vehicle with a camera on it. "Yeah honey it is for, ummmm, looking around in the crawlspace, yeah that's what it is for. So the brown recluses and insulation don't get me."

  2. Movie warning on Elektro, the Oldest U.S. Robot · · Score: 4, Funny
    At first glance it looks like the movie mentioned in the article (Sex Kittens Go to College) is a nerd's dream come true, containing both sex and robots! However, upon looking at the reviews at imdb, the first one I saw was:


    [Watching this movie was] Like watching Judge Judy do aerobics in a thong


    Ahh thanks so much for that wonderful imagery.

  3. Re:Consumer mindset on Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    When that happens I always assume someone is doing it to be humorous or is trying to help my karma (since you don't get any karma from humorous posts. Well at least not slashdot karma, I like to think I get good real life karma that way :-) ). However maybe I should hurry and go register a website and start selling this product just in case.

  4. Re:New product line on Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft · · Score: 1
    Inhale would probably be a better word, or maybe the more correct breathe. I am suprised you picked on that but didn't pick on my extra "be".

    I love writing under time pressure! :-)

  5. New product line on Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny
    Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft

    Here is a sneak peek at Microsoft's latest offering: cans of MicrosoftAir(tm). Tired of the same old boring air? With new MicrosoftAir(tm), there is a cornucopia of smells in every butterfly festooned can! Order a case for only $368.00 today!

    Note: Microsoft is not responsible if sniffing MicrosoftAir(tm) makes the user more likely to catch a virus. Not compatible with any other kind of air. Due to licensing agreement, once you have used product, you will be never be able to breath regular air again. Void where prohibited by law.

  6. Do I understand this? on Huygens Wind Experiment Salvaged · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So basically what they are saying is they should have used the space for some other experiment? The guy spending years setting up an experiment that never got turned on isn't as bad as designing a useless experiment taking up space on the probe. Or was the onboard experiment supposed to be much more accurate?

  7. Re:To put that in perspective... on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 1

    Your equation is missing a closing paren, can you explain the equation? I searched the web to no avail, and I was hoping to write a nifty perl script to compute this kind of thing.

  8. Re:Relative speeds on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it possible for a star flung like this to keep any planets it had, or would they most likely get sucked off by the black hole?

  9. The real question is on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 0

    when will Walmart be selling these reactors? I can't wait for these things to start popping up everywhere with "Made in China" on the side in big red letters.

  10. Re:Misapproriated Funds on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Actually I was trying to imply that pretending to be raising money to save a TV show while instead spending the money on something worthwhile would be humorous. I could explain further, but I think I will go watch a few hours of TV instead.

  11. Cheap solution on Cooling Down Hot Processors · · Score: 0

    The best solution is to install something like NetNanny to filter out porn sites. Even the slowest and oldest cpu in the world can't help but heat up when natportmanhotgrits.jpg is being processed.

  12. Re:Misapproriated Funds on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...some of the individual X-Prize teams operated off money gained from ordinary commercial ventures.

    I wonder how much money could have been raised from a bunch of "save your favorite show" websites scamming money from various rabid fans? Scamming money for a good cause is legal right???

  13. Re:Easy solutions... no extra kit required on Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls · · Score: 1

    Sadly I only have a cradle charger, which makes it impossible to talk on the phone while it charges. I hate carrying it around at home, so leaving it in the charger makes sense but the ringer isn't loud enough to hear everywhere in my new house, which means I miss calls unless I am carrying it. Plus I keep picturing a big tumor on my side where it hangs all day, which makes me want to carry it around the house even less :-)

  14. Re:google cache on Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls · · Score: 1

    I can't decide if I should feel happy that my article was accepted or sad that I caused the destruction of a poor innocent website. I should have ordered one before I posted the article, because now they will probably raise the price to pay their extra bandwidth fees :-(

  15. Re:Another IDN bug on Firefox on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 1

    I am running my own dns server, I wonder if I could make it ignore lookups to domains like this? It seems like filtering this junk out at the ISP level might be the way to go. Something a little nicer would be to have the address returned direct the user to an IP with a web server running with a page stating "this may not be the domain you think it is" with perhaps a link to the host by IP or something so if they really really wanted to go there they still could. Of course any other functionality (ftp or whatever) would die a horrible death and the user wouldn't know why.

  16. Re:Sims and testing? on NASA Proposes Warming Mars · · Score: 1

    Well take your pick, either we will degrade this planet until it can no longer support life or it will eventually get awfully crowded. I suppose we could all live in super-highrises eventually, but I wouldn't mind seeing the occasional tree and wild animal (rats and feral dogs don't count).

    EARTH FIRST

  18. Sims and testing? on NASA Proposes Warming Mars · · Score: 3, Funny
    I wonder how much simulation and testing you need before we feel safe about affecting an entire planet."

    Apparently none, since we are modifying the earth in bad ways every day. Having another planet we can live on sounds like a great idea to me, since this one is becoming less habitable every day.

    IANALBRTSOALSWIHSAL (I am not a lawyer but rather the spouse of a law student who I help study a lot) ...and you saved me from having to correct everybody. Now if I just had mod points.

    Any chance of getting that added here or am I going to have to write it on my arm?

    This is why I post all controversial postings as nizoLLC, a limited liability corporation created just for this purpose.

    Ahh, another way to put it is "mind control rays". Now where did I put my tinfoil covered glasses?

  22. Re:Free shipping is the way to go on big ticket it on Amazon Offers 2-Day Shipping For $79/Year · · Score: 1

    It would be a true miracle (just like a virgin mary statue crying real tears) if the typical woman could find a dress she liked for any amount of money at the first 5 stores she visited. Your logic would hold if it were a man renting a tux, but alas you have not factored in the whole woman buying a wedding gown thing.
