  1. Hmm on Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah, thanks... I like my Windows XP just fine, thanks. :)

  2. Waldo? on Pharm-Bot Goes On Rampage · · Score: 1

    Waldo isn't supposed to be easy to find! The doctor and patient clearly ran out of the room because they were scared of him, not expecting a close encounter with the reclusive, hard-to-find, and fashion-lacking Waldo!

  3. From the article on Google's Site Ranking Secrets · · Score: 1

    From TFA: This is a major factor so I'll take a few paragraphs to explain what is going on.

    Then why don't you fucking not double-space every single sentence from each other?

    It's really, really annoying.

    It also doesn't make paragraphs.

    The whole article is like this.

    Sigh...

  4. Outsourcing? on India Will Need to Recruit 120,000 Foreigners · · Score: 1

    In other news, rain was seen falling up in parts of the world today, and the sun now travels west to east.

  5. So today is its birthday... on Atomic Clock Turns 50 · · Score: 1

    Now, tell me exactly when it first became operational, down to the precise NANOSECOND!

  6. In other news... on Korean MSN Site Hacked · · Score: 1

    In other Korean news, Jeon Ji Hyun is still a very Sassy Girl.

  7. Re:Interrogation drugs on Trust in a Bottle · · Score: 1

    Except the Geneva Conventions forbid the use of mind-altering chemicals of any kind during interrogation. All interrogatees must be screen by medical personnel before even being able to be talked to by interrogators.

  8. Oh, no! on 60% Of U.S. Believe Life Exists On Other Planets · · Score: 1

    90% say if we receive a message from another planet we should reply.

    So when the aliens attack, only 10% of us will be wearing our aluminum foil helmets?! I need to go warn somebody fast!

  9. Interesting on Terrorist Link to Copyright Piracy Alleged · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Being in U.S. Army, one of the interesting briefings we were given recently was that of protecting civil liberties. It spoke about several times in the recent past in which a supposed threat appeared to our nation, and our freedom of speech, due process, etc. were damaged from the nation's fear of the enemy, and how we should not just let it happen again.

    It's something I had never thought about before, and I think it is amazing to see it happening in front of me, and not on some slides about what happened during the Cold War, or Vietnam, or World War II. When governments are given power outside of their proper jurisdictions to combat real threats, those powers will inevitably be used for unintended and improper purposes.

  10. Skewed article on Windows Nearly Ready For Desktop Use · · Score: 1

    The author had nothing good at all to say about Windows! He is clearly a biased Linux junkie out to take Microsoft's rightful place in the market. Could not believe it when I read it.

  11. Fantastic... on Building the World's Most Powerful Laser · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sharks everywhere rejoice upon reading Slashdot.

  12. Yeah, but... on Building the World's Most Powerful Laser · · Score: 0, Redundant

    When's the shark mod come out?

  13. Re:The obvious question... on Download Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Off topic, you're an echo, aren't you?

  14. Finally on Google Acquires Dodgeball · · Score: 1

    This will finally help us answer the age-old question: Where can slashdotters find girlfriends? Thank you, Google!

  15. Hrm on Sun to Acquire Tarantella · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So we don't spell it "acquire", anymore? :P

  16. My Laptop on Due Next Year: Dell's 19-inch Laptop · · Score: 1

    I own a 17" widescreen laptop, and the thing is a monstrosity. Being in the military, I use it mostly as my desktop PC wherever I am in one place long enough. The carrying bag for my 17" laptop is just barely big enough to fit it, and the bag is huge. Adding another 2" may not seem like much, but it really adds a huge effect.

  17. From TFA on Wal-Mart Parody Site Censored by DMCA · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "The goal was to make the site look like it could be a real site from a company like Wal-Mart, but have text that was so ridiculous that anyone who read it would realize that it was absurd," Papasian said in a statement on his revamped Web site. "If anyone believed it to be a real Wal-Mart site, that is only a testament to the degree of absurdity that exists within corporate America today."

    Wal-Mart claimed Papasian violated copyright law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by improperly using images from the real Wal-Mart Foundation's Web site -- http://www.walmartfoundation.org./

    Papasian said he closed the site for five days so he could remove the offending graphics. In place of the images, Papasian has put the word "censored."

  18. From FTA on Traffic Studied Using Computer-Linked Cars · · Score: 5, Informative

    From FTA: Acura's 2005 RL features a navigation system that provides real-time traffic updates for 20 major cities; information is transmitted to the cars via XM radio satellites. Traffic data is aggregated from local police, transportation departments and other sources. The big question: How much are people willing to spend to avoid sitting in traffic? List figures 10 to 15 percent of drivers in a given area would need to participate to make the system effective. The devices bought separately cost about $1,000.

  19. So... on Mac OS X Tiger Accidentally Shipped Early · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So, where's the torrent?

  20. Um... on Sanswire Demonstrates First Stratellite · · Score: 3, Funny

    "...utilizing proprietary lifting gas technology"

    What, a BALLOON?!

  21. I, for one... on AACS Specifications Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I, for one, welcome our new DRM encryption overlords! Perhaps they'll do better than our previous overlord, Chief General CSS. It only took seven lines of code to bring him down...

  22. Huge gains on Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Already, scientists have made huge strides in their research using this technique. Thanks to new technology and innovation, more and more creatures are able to be 'reanimated' in this way.

  23. Re:This article contains material on evolution. on Early Earth Atmosphere Favourable to Life · · Score: 1

    Bah, we all know the earth is only 6000 years old! Science is made up by a bunch of anti-god atheists who are conspiring to steal our tax dollars! Or, so says Dr. Kend Hovind. Debunking of all his arguments from his many video tapes and debates may be found here.
