  1. Re:No - SIASL was correct on Orbdev Files US Federal Suit Over Asteroid Claim · · Score: 1

    I don't know, why don't you tell us? :)

  2. Re:What would they have done with him anyhow? on Saruman Completely Cut from 'Return of the King' · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Maybe they just skip the palantir and IM him instead.

    Somehow I doubt they had instant messaging technology.

  3. Re:Odd... on China Outlines Moon Project Goals · · Score: 1

    You haven't seen Star Wars?

  4. Re:Odd... on China Outlines Moon Project Goals · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's what the Moon is - a very large space station in orbit 240,000 miles above the Earth.

    That's no moon, it's a space station!

    Well ok, it's a moon and a space station.

  5. Re:The "Don't Pirate" movie ad on Feature-Length Matrix Spoof to be Released Soon · · Score: 1

    Yes! I noticed that as well. :)

  6. Re:Christmas Special on 'Star Wars: Clone Wars' Premieres Tonight · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why would a Wookiee live on Endor? Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it makes no sense!

  7. Re:So that's whose fault it is on Who Makes MapQuest's Maps? · · Score: 1

    Well the problem is that Boston doesn't make any sense. Even though I've lived here a few years and I'm a "road geek" I still get lost all the time. It's simply not possible to avoid taking a wrong turn in so many places in the area. Accept this fact and instead concentrate on recovering afterward. There's no way I could drive in Boston (or anywhere in a 20-mile radius) without that map.

  8. Re:I'd make a joke on Who Makes MapQuest's Maps? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I'd love to do this :)

  9. Re:Problem with one of the requirements on Search for Miss Digital World · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just make the gentalia modular. Easy!

  10. Re:This should be fun on Evaporation Prevention Using Molecular Blankets · · Score: 1

    Not quite the same thing, but it's also like Ice-9 in Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle".

  11. Re:Still waiting... but... on Memory Hole Un-Redacts Redacted DOJ Memo · · Score: 1

    Kurt Vonnegut?

    I recall in one of his books he says something like "here is a picture of an asshole" and then there's a big * on the next page.

  12. Re:Spinning. . . on Diebold Chases Links To Leaked Memos · · Score: 1

    Wow, thanks for the link.

  13. Re:Spinning. . . on Diebold Chases Links To Leaked Memos · · Score: 1

    Try asking the average person, "How many non-Jews died in the Holocaust?" A great deal of time, money and resource has been funneled into shaping the general belief that only Jews were killed by the millions, when this is by no means the truth.

    I know the Nazis killed others, like gays and gypsies, but millions of them? Do you have a link?

  14. Re:Illegal voteing on Diebold Chases Links To Leaked Memos · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Good journalism is in part good history and anthropology.

    and is nowhere to be found on Slashdot.

  15. Re:Stupidity or Insanity? on Terahertz Scanners See Inside Sealed Packages · · Score: 1

    Clearly we need to ban peanuts. The allergic reaction can be devastating.

  16. Re:How useless on Star Trek Enterprise Tested to Mach 5 · · Score: 1

    You really know how to put the FU in fun. Give em a break.

  17. Re:This is so stupid on Brill's Contentious ID Card · · Score: 1

    So... you know the trick to not be "randomly" searched, and you STILL do this every time? :)

    But seriously, you do make an excellent point. Airports (well the TSA now) aren't looking for the right thing.

  18. Re:Google on Brill's Contentious ID Card · · Score: 1

    Organ trading requirement restored. (Check the partner link. Yes it works.)

  19. Three letters that make it not so useful on First Napster 2.0 Review · · Score: 0, Troll

    W, M, and A.

  20. What does Daniel Lyons have against Linux? on The FSF, Linux's Hit Men · · Score: 2, Informative

    It isn't the first time he's cheered on SCO. Here he goes again.

  21. Re:I guess old age is a preventable cause of death on Women Live Longer Because Men Are Dumb · · Score: 1

    Wow, that really is bizarre. What's the story here?

  22. Re:The Clone Wars and Episode III on "Star Wars: Clone Wars" coming to Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine a Matrix 1.5?

    It's funny you pick that out of all possible examples when this exists.

    I think "interquels" could be pretty neat in the right circumstances. Or "co-quels" like Ender's Shadow.

  23. Re:Gaim vs. AIM on Linux Users Try FreeBSD 5, Windows · · Score: 1

    Excellent response, thanks.

    I didn't know gaim even had a Windows version before this article was posted. Also, I'm not noticing the lack of multiprotocol support because I only know AIM users. Once I do have people I want to talk to on ICQ or MSN, I'll be making the switch.

  24. Re:I'm just waiting... on Element 110 Now Darmstadtium · · Score: 1

    In my high school chemistry class, my teacher would often describe principles that could apply to any element. Typically, he'd choose his favorite element Arbitrarium.

  25. Gaim vs. AIM on Linux Users Try FreeBSD 5, Windows · · Score: 1

    I use Windows at work and I'm gradually switching to Linux at home. On Windows I use the official AIM client. I am curious as to why you prefer gaim on Windows. I find them pretty similar.
