  1. They took jer job on South Park Turns to Xserve for Storage Upgrade · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm pretty sure that their providers of DL Tape are probably saying "They took mah job!"

  2. Re:Is web surfing the only application? on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 1

    "Oh, you're right. And when you're right, you're right. And you - you're always right."

    Funny thing is that I can't seem to figure out what to do with doodie.

  4. Re:horrible site interface on A Look at Data Compression · · Score: 1

    A bit difficult, yes... but I advice you use Firefox and the NoScript extension. You can temporarily allow that site to execute its scripts, but you won't allow the ad companies to run whatever they run on you.

    I keep refreshing goatse... and lemon party... at the same time! Oh noes!!111

  7. After giving it some thought... on New Uranus Moons and Rings Discovered · · Score: 1

    I guess we should never have stories about Uranus in the frontpage.

  8. Re:Ingredients of Life Found Around Sun-Like Star on Ingredients of Life Found Around Sun-Like Star · · Score: 1

    I started thinking on what was the origin of science... I guess the greeks must've come up with it when they spent some time thinking about their religion... I'm not sure I would've seriously believed in a religion that involves a sex goddess born from the splash in the ocean caused by some castrated god's genitalia.

  9. so... on Learning Java or C# as a Next Language? · · Score: 1

    I guess he'll just go with Python.

    Then register, so that you can convert from an Anonymous Coward to a Recognised Pussy.

  11. Re:/.ed on New Possible Record Prime Number Found · · Score: 2, Funny

    you've just increased some geek's hope that he'll find a prime by about 7.7 times

  12. Re:GPS buys you a head start! on GPS Could Speed Tsunami Warning · · Score: 1

    More than enough time for them to lie down or put paper bags over their heads.

  13. Re:How long till the skeptics post? on Polar Bears Drowning As Globe Warms · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are SUV driving slashdotters? I would've expected they were already driving gokarts powered by their own sense of self-satisfaction.

  15. Re:Seems obvious to me on Why Do Computer Games Claim Lives? · · Score: 1

    He must have been a christian... in that case he was 'smighted' by a parmesan-covered midgit.

  16. Re:Real Identity? on No More Internet Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Although there was this one news about a multi-billion dollar number typo a few days ago, (obligatory quote follows the sentence)... "You must be new here".

  17. ... offtopic, but... on Slashback: Quinn, iBackups, Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Heh, anyone browsing using NoScript in Firefox? There are quite a number of 'paid advertisement articles' on the right side of the page. They all seem to try to advertise some subpage

  18. Re:The mouse click heard 'round the world? on Cyber Attacks on US Linked to Chinese Military? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Then again, consider how many crappy chinese products have Americans purchased for years? Couldn't they be altered as well? And wasn't there a Simpsons episode regarding this very subject?

  19. Re:Does anyone see a different story? on This Text Message Will Self Destruct · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a great idea.

    It'd be great if it were "toggle-able", and you were to receive money from listening or reading advertisements.

    If the advertisers were smart enough, theyd send contextual messages (and even related to your position).

    For instance, at lunchtime... I'd just switch to the "opt-in" mode, and I would receive some friendly ad telling me that Luby's has 10% off when you bring in 5 or more people.

  20. Re:Alternate on OpenOffice Illustrates Open Source's Limitations? · · Score: 1

    Well,... I don't know. Excel seems to be the only good thing that M$ has done in it's Office suite. In functionality, OO.o lacks a Solver and a better estimator of parameters in regressions (in Excel, you can tell it to have a 2nd order, or third order, so it calculates the parameters for the equation). Linest and logest are nice functions, but they need more flexibility.

  21. Re:lol no this is not a virus on New Worm Chats with Users on AIM · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ha! This reminds me soem advice a friend of mine gave to me: "If you want your pr0n folder to be untouched: compress it, delete the original, and change the archive's extension to *.dll. Nobody wants to mess with a 1 GB *.dll."

  24. Re:Go with GAIM on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    Man... I can't wait for this to happen... it'd allso be really cool if Google Talk were able to make phone calls. Even if it were a service in which you paid-per-calls, or something like that, I would be more than happy to hand over the money to Google... Then again, I'm sure this won't happen until Google creates a Credit-management service (Google Wallet?). Who knows if Google can set up this sort of infrastructure and when it will be available.

  25. Re:Good protocol is useless, if on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    My town is obsessed with MSN Messenger... I don't know why. It's just filled with ads, sucks up a lot of memory, and plain sucks,... but people just use it.

    I would very much like to have a unique ID that would serve throughout all IM clients. I don't know how Microsoft and Yahoo are going to pull off the network linkage, but I'm sure it'll involve Yahoo users using their full email address, instead of user ID.

    Then again, I'm all for using Jabber. I preferr using PSI over GAIM, but that's just me. Miranda IM is a good client too, but the chat logs are kept in text files, and I would rather they kept it in XML files...
