I would shock..

On: Study: People Would Rather Be Shocked Than Be Alone With Their Thoughts

I would happily shock everybody I know to get 15 minutes to myself to think in quiet. Between work, (public) travel, socializing and married life, I doubt I get as much as 15 minutes a week. How folks with kids survive is a slightly off-topic mystery to me.

Blink twice for yes.

I hereby bet my life savings (past, present and future) that nothing - absolutely nothing - even _can_ come of this. Does it even matter if anybody cares any more?

Yeah - start your own branch, with black-jack and hookers

In fact, forget the branch and the black-jack

Ah screw the whole thing.

"The march to 10,000,000 enrolments

Maybe it's time for another '0' to aim for...

Good luck

On: Creative Gunning For the iPod

I like Creative and all, but taking market share from Apple is going to take quite some doing

On the plus side, it's nice to see no mention of the previously ubiquitous "iPod killer" nonesense.

3. Four audio commentary tracks, something that has never been done before (to my knowledge).

Shaun of the Dead had 4 too. Thought you'd all like to know - an excellent dvd also, well worth a watch.

Not safe for work, surely?

...we could find a font that scales well enough to fill a whole nyt page with the names of the 12 or so people that would sign this?

(Also, forget the pretty pic too...)

As a maths grad, yes - this pretty much sums up my sex life :(

Re:A new Slashdot first?

On: Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility

I'm not sure, let me know when you encouter them in plural, what you call them. I have never encountered them in plural, so I wouldn't know, and I'm not expecting to do so.

Never planned on such an event taking place, but thanks for tonight's bad dreams, dude.

Re:A new Slashdot first?

On: Laptops May Be Hazardous to Your Fertility

Plural required here for gramatical corectness. 'Scrota'? 'Scroti'? Or just plain good-old-fashioned 'nad-sacks'?

Now that's Stuff That Matters(tm)!

Hmmm.....

You are a PalmSource employee, so we trust you to know what you're talking about.

But you are a slashdot reader, so you won't have read TFA.


This is a dilly of a pickle.
