  1. In related news... on RIAA Goes After Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    Humming and whistling have been outlawed. Toe-tapping is still legal, except for the song "Wipeout". Resume normal transmission...

  2. WMD's on Google Declares War on Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apparently Google is in possession of documents claiming Microsoft is in possession of Weapons of Mass Distribution.

    In related news, it has been reported that Clippy was an early casualty - he took a direct hit from a sniper in the semi-colon. At the end, he simply wiggled his eyes, straightened, and flew away.

  3. Exclusive Club on Flock, the New Browser on the Block · · Score: 1

    I signed up a while ago to get this browser, but I've heard nothing back since. Has it finally opened up to the public?

  4. Re:As Jean Paul Sartre used to say... on Google & Sun Planning Web Office · · Score: 1

    >>Gmail, GOffice, Google Search... I don't need no steenkin' desktop...
    Yes, those applications will be magically beamed into your computer's BIOS to run on it's built in web browser.


    Thanks!

  5. Stacker on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Is this the compression code they "borrowed" from Stacker?

  6. As Jean Paul Sartre used to say... on Google & Sun Planning Web Office · · Score: 1

    Suuuuuuuhhhhhhhweet!!!!!!! I have been wondering for a long time when this was coming. Hopefully this will be much faster than the java attempts at this (Thinkfree Office). I imagine some blend of Ajax would create a right snappy client. They could add online storage and charge me some change and I wouldn't mind paying. Gmail, GOffice, Google Search... I don't need no steenkin' desktop...

  7. Clever storage is the secret on Too Many Passwords · · Score: 1

    I store mine on Slashdot!

  8. Treaty on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 0

    ...and it pops up a window saying..."No more Nukes for you!"

  9. Re:What is Vista anyway? on Major Microsoft Re-Organization · · Score: 1

    It's short for "Hasta La Vista"

  10. Coming soon to the Lifetime Channel on Mothers Taking the Fight to the RIAA · · Score: 3, Funny

    A made-for-tv movie staring Lindsay Wagner. Her physically-challenged daughter is just starting to make progress by listening to P2P songs when suddenly the RIAA files a lawsuit against them both. Only a last-minute visit from Madonna stops the plans of the evil RIAA. Yup.

  11. Re:Human greed knows no bounds on Global Warming Past The Point of No Return · · Score: 1

    Currently the main limitation is the long hose trailing all the cars...

  12. All we need is... on Missing Lab Mice Infected With Plague · · Score: 5, Funny

    Someone to build a better mousetrap!

  15. Everyone out of the elevator now! on Hydrogen Stored in Safe High Density Pellets · · Score: 1, Funny

    There could be some interesting side effects if you swallowed one...

  16. Mad Cow Test on New Mad Cow Test on the Horizon? · · Score: 2, Funny
    Sample questions from the "Are you a Mad Cow?" test:
    1. Do you often feel your section of the pasture has a higher percentage of weeds
    2. Do you have frequent dreams related to tipping? Do you land?
    3. Do you often have difficulty "showing affection" in the stall?
    4. Do you read Slashcow?
  17. Re:yeahh... but... on New 'Pentop' Computer To Help Children Learn · · Score: 1

    Yeahh... but does it run Linux?

    NetBSD was ported to the device, but the project was scrapped due to the difficulty of teaching kids 9-14 how to write out the slice/partitioning stuff. Theo rejected it for OpenBSD due to possible buffer overflows with the ink mechanism.

  18. Re:Cisco is not a business of social activism. on Shareholders Squeeze Cisco on Human Rights · · Score: 1

    Trues, military arms companies having been doing this for years.

    It's actually three E's:
    • Embrace
    • Extend
    • Extinguish
  20. In related news... on FreeBSD Ported to XBox · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have ported NetBSD to run on my toaster. I have full support for quad-processing (requires four slots), hyper-breading and hot swapping. Unfortunately, fork() is not currently implemented...

  21. Capitalism at it's best on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1
    Thanks to this maneuver, to see the Way Cool Show people will need to:

    • Buy a new monitor
    • Buy a new OS
    • Buy premium content (probably not a free show)
    • Because the new OS is such a hog, they get to buy a new computer!

    WOW!
  22. Give me a break! on Linux and Windows Security Neck and Neck · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have been running a mixture of Windows and Linux boxes at home for more than 10 years. I am conscientious about anti-virus and anti-spyware on the Window's boxes. On the Linux (and an occasional BSD) boxen I just take the normal security of the distro install and update packages regularly. I also, of course, do not log in as root. The bottom line is over the years I have had to battle various vermin on the Windows boxes. I have yet to have a virus or anything like it on the Linux/BSD machines. EVER! I use Linux as my normal OS on my laptop. I am surfing everywhere, constantly checking email. I download lots of programs, install things, etc. NEVER a virus, etc. Give me a break!

  23. Priceless on A Study On Time Wasted At Work · · Score: 1

    Wasting time at work: Read Slashdot

    Wasting time in the university: Perform useless studies

    Wasting time at Slashdot HQ: Post results of above study.

  24. Re:Victory! on EU Says No To Software Patents · · Score: 1

    This is patently off-topic, but I couldn't resist...

    The Titanic was built by professionals. When Noah built the Arch he was an amateur

    In a later development, Noah was promoted by the church to a saint - St. Louis, that is.

    Mod me down, resume normal transmission.
