  1. this is worse on America's Worst Christmas Parties · · Score: 0

    I work at a small cafe in portland. Yesterday I got replaced with a girl because the owner thought it would increase sales. I could understand this logic if perhaps he hired a cute girl with wit and charm rather than the tore-up, monotone bore of a (recovering) crackhead that he selected. (i'm not making this up, btw.) I came in to give him the keys to the shop and get my paycheck. As one may expect, there was no paycheck.

  2. Or edonkey network on New Dr. Who Episode Leaked · · Score: 0

    I found it in less than 5 seconds. and it's already starting to download... at 0b/s. -BUT STILL! 19 people have it as of now and at 30% complete. yay.

  3. Yer All wrong... on Altnet Threatens P2P Companies Over File Hash Patents · · Score: 0

    Alcohol extraction is gross if done perfectly or in laboratory conditions. the best method is Ice extraction. and the filtration screens need to be silkscreen quality. 120 microns, or whatever. you can buy equipment to do this but crafty ones will make their own. http://www.high-land.co.uk/acatalog/bubblesac.html

  4. *please* no matrix inspired super-kungfu fights. on Disney Plans Tron Remake · · Score: 0

    Here is my guess as to the lameness that will be Tron 2.0 ....

    -Oversaturated and fakey-looking CGI.

    -super extreme soundtrack w/ extreme rock and rockin hiphop in lieu of the classic score by Wendy Carlos.

    -super extreme battle fung-fu inspired by the matrix series in place of elements of adventure + wonder.

    Viola! more disney crap.

  5. Re:(IBM == M$) && (SW == HW) ? on USPTO Released List of Top 10 Patent Receivers · · Score: 0, Flamebait

  7. Re:Hyperthreading software on Where's My 10 Ghz PC? · · Score: 1

    adobe premire pro 1.5. it's pretty neat to see it read "dual processor detected" in my single 3.4ghz. but ah, ...thats about it.

  8. wake me up.... on Microsoft Drops Windows XP for Itanium · · Score: 1

    when they make a black & white robosapein with advanced, sentient AI, minigun side-arms and *INEXPENSIVE* add-on servomechanical sentry satellite-bots. (SAY, thats alot of "S" sounds and "-" marks!)

  9. APPLE = THE APPLE OF SATAN 666. on iTunes User Sues Apple Over Lock-In · · Score: 1

    juuust kiddin. but seriously, people are babies. If I buy some peice of hardware that doesn't do what i want/need, I do what any well adjusted, personality-disorder-moderated, sane person would do: I COMPLAIN AND WHINE ABOUT IT. ON THE INTERNET. sue happy people get what they deserve: bankruptcy unducing lawyers fees. But his case begs the question: in regards to the recent Airplane-cockpit-laser-painters, is this guy less retardedier -or more?

  10. Re:Peak Oil on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    Ian who posted: http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=135001 &cid=11265443 should be in agreement and perhaps unlike you and i, pleased at the developments.

  11. Re:UFO's on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    didja know that the Mexican Air Force recently released videotape of UFO's? http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1106371.htm Although there was no official comment from any government or defense orgs, Maj Magdaleno Castanon was quoted as saying "I believe they could feel we were pursuing them." and although this is not a certain affirmation that the supposed craft were piloted by an ET, we can certainly chalk up this guy with the rest of the tinfoil hat crew that include other total FREAKING WHACK JOBS like... NASA astronauts Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell Admiral Lord Hill-Norton: Five-Star Admiral, Former Head of the British Ministry of Defense FAA Division Chief John Callahan Dr. Robert Wood: McDonnell Douglas Aerospace Engineer Captain Robert Salas Professor Robert Jacobs: Lt. US Air Force Lt. Colonel Dwynne Arneson: US Air Force (ret.) Colonel Ross Dedrickson: US Air Force/AEC (ret.) Harry Allen Jordan: US Navy Mr. James Kopf: US Navy/ National Security Agency Lieutenant Colonel Joe Wojtecki, US Air Force Staff Sergeant Stoney Campbell: US Air Force Master Sgt. Dan Morris: US Air Force, NRO Operative and the list goes on and on... *ANYONE* who claims the existence of UFO's or (worse) ETI in contact with earth is crazy and should not be considered sane enough to work at a salad bar. They are a curse to REAL TRUE skeptics and scientists and reasonable people everywhere. all these people should have their prestigious credentials STRIPPED AWAY along with citezenships and drivers licenses. {/sarcasm}

  14. US Gov Would Want It This Way on Interceptor Missile Fails Test Launch · · Score: 1

    Now they have a frightened public to spend more money on the military industrial complex and space effective weapons systems. WHY? TO PROTECT US FROM AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL THREAT THATS WHY! :D it goes: 3rd world countries, terrorists, asteroids, aliens. All based on lies. all supported by the frightened people. but don't take my word for it. take Werner Von Braun's name instead. actually, don't take anyone's word for anything. ...but don't ignore it either.

  18. Mr. Powell and the FCC can eat a bag of dicks on FCC Claims Regulatory Power Over Home Computers · · Score: 1

    ...and die. Actually, I kind of like the idea of information/culture war. it's FUN! and it we get to see uptight christians and heartless federal slugs (such as those in the FCC) get up-in-arms. i love that. sooner than later people (the real kind) are going to start novel ways to fight back against information oppression. hooray!

  19. don't relinquish skepticism to psuedoskepticals on Atlantis Found. Again. · · Score: 1

    skepDIC.com, along with most sites claiming to be the mouthpiece for true reason and sober skepticism is as ideological as anyone. for example, their typical treatment of UFO's and related phenomena... http://skepdic.com/ufos_ets.html they claim that testimony of the existence of ETI and ET craft are the product of "the willingness to trust incompetent men telling fantastic stories". In truth, these "incompetent men" include NASA astronauts, radar technicians, Aviators, physicists, men & women in the intelligence community (both here in the US and abroad), 5 star generals and even the former chief of Englands Ministry of Defense. This is not the end of the sites misinformation and error or those who claim firsthand experience with ET tech and the secrecy that surrounds it. I do not claim this testimony, regardless of it's credibility, to be counted or confused as empirical evidence.
