  1. Fashion faux pas on Saturn's Moon Iapetus Has A 'Belt' · · Score: 0

    It also has suspenders.

  2. Re:Coming Soon! on Google's 20-Year Usenet Timeline · · Score: 0

    First repost of an old story.

  3. Re:I've always wondered on Where's My 10 Ghz PC? · · Score: 0

    But then time zones would give the electrons jet lag!

  4. Abacuses? on In The Beginning Was The Command Line, Updated · · Score: 0

    Why, we had to... okay this has gone far enough.

  5. Swedish on Learning a Foreign Language with The Sims · · Score: 0

    You can also learn Swedish from pr0n. Remember John Candy in Splash?

  6. What about comments? on Blog reading up 58% in U.S. · · Score: 0

    "There is no difference between a blog and a person's home page, except that one usually is now automated (as far as having an interface to use for adding content) and the other is manually done by editing HTML files."

    The ability to submit comments about a blog post surely differentiates the two. I find greater similarity between blogs and USENET groups.

  7. Re:Learn to read on Folksonomies In Del.icio.us and Flickr · · Score: 0

    Because this is Slashdot?

  8. Re:Not so many comments here.... on Indian Consortium To Offer 2 Mbps At $2.30/month · · Score: 0

    But the dollar isn't controlled by the Stonecutters like the pound is!

  9. Re:I'm Sick of Mergers... on Symantec to Buy Veritas · · Score: 0

    They're usually bad for the merging companies too. Synergies often don't pan out.

  10. Re:AC's stock tip on Symantec to Buy Veritas · · Score: 0

    I think usually the acquirer goes down and the target goes up on the announcement.

  11. Re:As my professors used to say... on Le Guin Peeved About Earthsea Miniseries · · Score: 0

    Were they from the Soviet Union?

  12. But why? on ICANN Approves Two More Top-Level Domains · · Score: 0

    Will there really be any incentive for companies to do this? Most corporate home pages have an easy to find 'jobs' or 'careers' link on them. Who needs another domain?

  13. Re:Yes, but... on War of the Worlds, Chocolate Factory Trailers · · Score: 0

    I'll admit I've only seen the newer one but if they're both heist movies about simultaneously robbing three casinos then that's close enough for me to consider it a remake.

  14. That's why I just use 'password' on Password Security Not Easy · · Score: 0

    Oops, probably shouldn't have admitted that.

  15. Yes, but... on War of the Worlds, Chocolate Factory Trailers · · Score: 0

    It's still copying the original even if it is better than it.

  16. It's short for Skeptic's Dictionary... on Atlantis Found. Again. · · Score: 0

    not a misspelling of 'skeptic'.

  17. I lost my card once on ATMs Susceptible to Windows Viruses · · Score: 0

    There was a power failure during my transaction. When the ATM rebooted, it kept my card (as it was designed to do). Fortunately, the bank was open at the time at they retrieved it for me.

  18. "As it turns out, Kari is a business man" on Hannu H. Kari Gives The Internet 2 More Years · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hmm, I wonder if this is relevant?

  19. We need to find James Winklee! on MyDoom Seeks to Destroy Antivirus Firms · · Score: 1

    He needs to be held accountable for this mess!

  20. Oh, I thought it said BBC! on 7 hour BBS Documentary Nearly Ready · · Score: 1

    Either way, I couldn't survive seven hours.

  21. Re:Incredible but.... on A New Species Of Giant Ape? · · Score: 1

    "If they are killed by a disease or predator, that's natural and I can accept it."

    We are predators.

  22. How much longer before... on AT&T Considers Mac OS X, Linux For 70,000 Desktops · · Score: 1

    AT&T goes bankrupt (not because of their desktops)?
