  1. Oh the violence! on Overclockix 3.7 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Torturing hardware? Cutting out eye candy? How graphically violent! Either that or I've been playing too much of Doom 3.

  2. Re:35 on Huygens Probe Prepares for Saturn Moon Landing · · Score: 1

    Look closer

  3. Re:Some Jokes on Pair Arrested After Telling Lawyer Jokes · · Score: 1

    Isn't this the joke those two got arrested for? I read it somewhere but can't find it now...

    Yea, it's in the article...

  4. Mobile Phone story on Physicists Work on Physics' Uncool Image · · Score: 1

    I meant this for the mobile phone story, but I guess it still sorta applies...

  5. Great Idea but... on Physicists Work on Physics' Uncool Image · · Score: 2, Funny

    Won't it make you look like the crazy bum at the park?

  6. Looks photochopped on Opportunity Spots Curious Object On Mars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I know its NASA and I know they wouldn't play tricks on us, but... it looks like it's a bad photoshop job. Anyone else with that impression?

  7. Re:Kick legs on Robot Makers Say World Cup Will Be Theirs By 2050 · · Score: 1

    ...or they'll just shoot laser beams out of their eyes. Simple as that.

  8. Someone's gotta stop them! on IBM Opens Their Patent Portfolio to Open Source · · Score: 1

    It won't be long before the Communist steam roller is rolling along quickly across the information superhighway!

  9. Re:yeah, so why'd they skip all the way N on Belkin Offering Pre-802.11N Products · · Score: 1

    Can't wait till I'm using 802.11fu. OH, how horrible!

  10. Re:Reported last month on World's Shortest P2P App: 15 Lines · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe New Scientist editors read Slashdot for their news, which then Slashdot user read for more news. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw this article in New Scientist next month.

  11. No Practical Size Limits? on Hitachi to Release Half TB Drive Soon · · Score: 2, Funny

    32-bit operating systems can use 64-bit filesystems (e.g. XFS) which have no practical size limits.

    Wait 10 years...

  12. So they're bankrupt... on Interplay Forced to Liquidate (France) · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...does that mean they'll be releasing keygens for all their games?

  13. Re:Wrong Direction? on Reinventing the Wheel · · Score: 1

    It would be interesting to see what it could do for off-roading.

  14. Re:Wasted space? on Sneak Peek At Microsoft Anti-Spyware · · Score: 1

    If this had been destined for Longhorn, I'm sure the 'Scan' button would take up half of the screen. (...think back button, there you go...)

  15. PMP? on More Linux Portable Media Players On The Way · · Score: 1

    Sounds like ghetto slang to me...

  16. Re:What a waste of money on NASA Prepares to Launch Comet-Buster · · Score: 1

    How many licks does it take to get to the inside of a comet?

  17. New channel idea? on Inside TechTV/G4 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If there is no longer a channel that appeals to geeks, why not create one? I'm see a huge market potential for it. There'd be millions watching it. Probably all the real geeks from TechTV would fly over, giving the channel some talent.

    Slashdot Channel anyone?

  18. Re:Green with envy on FBI Investigating Laser Beams Pointed at Aircraft · · Score: 1

    There is no problem with pointing them at airplanes far, far away flying overhead in mid-flight. However, this poses a huge problem for airplane pilots on approach or right after takeoff.

  19. Re:Surely PowerPC G5 is the way forward? on More Analysis Of Pentium M Desktops · · Score: 1

    >Why would anyone want to use an Intel chip or an AMD chip is beyond me. All that backwards-compatible legacy circuitry eating up real-estate on the die.

    You gotta always be prepared just in case you find yourself stuck with your computer in 1981, without software or the hard drives.

  20. Re:pictures on Opportunity Rover Encounters Its Own Heat Shield · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually it would be C:\Documents and Settings\Mars Rover Mission\My Documents\My Pictures. NASA wouldn't dare risking the Mars mission to Windows 95/98! Only the best for the Mars rovers: Windows Server 2003 with the Workstation hack installed!

  21. Re:Warning! on Green Security Clearance Laser Pistol Available · · Score: 2, Funny

    Evolution at work!

  22. Get him! on Alek's Christmas Lights: Humbug · · Score: 0, Troll

    I know where he lives!

  23. The Other Contenders... on New Speed Record For Hybrid Cars · · Score: 1

    They tried setting a record with the Ford Escape Hybrid but it rolled over. The Insight mysteriously dissappeared after that incident, although a hunk of metal was discovered under the Escape.

  24. Santa's Secret discovered! on Ho, Ho, Ho · · Score: 1

    According to the NORAD Santa tracker, Santa's position is where today changes into tommorow (I don't know what the exact name of the boundry is). By precisely between today and tommorow, he falls into a rift in time that allows him to do his thing!

  25. Opens up possibilities? on Next G5 Multitasks Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    Instead of running multiple operating systems on one processor, could it fundamentally change the way an operating system runs on a computer? Also, if you were to run multiple operating systems, how would you switch between them? Would you have a key combination (like the apple and enter keys that switched between a mac and pc on hybrid systems back in the day) that would allow you to switch or would you be running a super OS that would let you see what each OS is doing at each moment? Or, would you have a multiple graphics card setup that will have an independant terminal for each OS? Lotsa unanswered questions there...
