    See, I am too innocent to know all these dirty things. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I feel so cleansed!

  3. Is Shuttleworth your real name? on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 1
    Come on, you made that up when you decided to go into space, didn't you?

    Ok, serious question time.

    1. Would you support the idea of an African Union. The European Union is generally considered sucessful. Would you consider an African Union similarly promote the interest of Africa and help other African Nations?

    2. How do Africans view the Suddanese civil war? The civil war has been ongoing for a number of years and it's only recently pushed to the limelight in the west. Are other African countries interested and have they attempted to help? What about the situiation in Zimbabwe?

    3. Are you investing in private space travel? and what possiblities do you see in the future of space travel?

    4. Can you loan me some money? See, I got this great start up idea. Can sell you shares cheap... cut me own throat...

    I am only slightly ashamed that I spotted that error.

  5. Street Fighter was good on Doom Movie in Production For Aug 2005 Release · · Score: 1
    > Hooray! Because we all know that films based on video games are always great

    Street Fighter was good. No, hear me out. Just watch it like a comedy instead of an actual movie and it was really really funny.

    My friends and I laughed the entire way through the movie and almost got kicked out for being too disruptive. For some reason, we were ROFLOAO at the part where big bags of green bubbling chemical with huge labels that says "mutagen" was seen on the screen one time too many.

    It might have something to do with what we smoke an hour earlier....

  6. Flying car joke or beheading joke? on Build Your Own Flying Lawn Mower · · Score: 2, Funny
    Hmm... should I go with the boring old flying car joke or should I go with tasteless beheading joke?

    Sigh, it's Friday night, I think I will go out and get a life instead.

    Oh, Who am I kidding? I am on slashdot.

    >When a computer program crashes it's usually down to the human(s) who programmed it, and in the rare occasions it's a hardware glitch and it was humans who designed the hardware, so we're still to blame either directly or indirectly.

    And supposedly God created humans so we should all blame him. Your windows xp crashed? Act of God.

    Actually that's why I don't believe in the Christian God. God is infalleble but God created people. hmm...

    What's with this story? Two lines and one link only? Where is the details?

    I need to know what the subscription cost is per month! I need to budget my game money!

    >it gushes from the toilets of Singapore instead of a bubbling spring.

    Isn't this how they do it in spaceships? Recycle water? Drink your own urine essentially?

    Well, if it's good enough for the Astronauts, then it's good enough for you. (But not me, of course. That's disgusting!)

    >Personally I would have thought that London would have received more rain than Sydney OR Melbourne. To learn that London is actually pretty DRY definitely shatters some preconceptions I had...

    London rains a lot, especially in the fall. But it's very very light rain. If you walk around in the rain, you can barely feel it. I lived in London for 2 years and I can only remember pouring rain maybe 3 or 4 times there. I didn't buy an umbrella the whole time I was there. So counting inches of rain makes it seems like London is fairly dry but it's not.

    Of course, the rain falls on the London streets and make everything very muddy because the streets there are always dirty and dusty. The water in London coming out of the faucet is supposed to be safe but very undrinkable.

    On the other hand, when I travelled to Devon on the UK westcoast. I drunk water out of the faucet that was pure and sweet. Better than bottled water in North America. This old lady at a b & b I stayed at joked that water there has only been drunken once while water in London has run through many people.

    >I read the article in the magazine and they just soldered an antenna to a bluetooth adapter. How could putting a bigger antenna on a receiver cause interference?

    It would cause interference because it's both a transmitter and a receiver.

  13. what? no girlish scream from Luke? on Detailed Empire Strikes Back DVD Change List · · Score: 2, Funny
    But that girlish scream from Luke is the only thing that makes me feel superior to Luke and can hold my head high while watching the movies.

    Now I have to sulk about how he is so heroic in every way and I can never be a good Jedi like him and will have to turn to the dark side instead.

    Well, this development, plus sucess of the spaceship1 and the work on the space elevator is giving me hope that I could actually experience space travel myself. Awesome.
