  1. Is this a joke? on Alligator Blood May Be Source of New Antibiotics · · Score: 3, Funny

    Were they hoping people wouldn't associate a wonderdrug from a reptile (this shite) with the common phrase "snake oil" (a wonderdrug from a reptile)

  2. Re:More expensive? Why? on Cell Phones To Be Allowed On UK Planes · · Score: 1

    I get the Tube to work every single day (I work in Shoreditch but live in Chiswick). Actually, that's not true. I get three, each way. And on every single one except the District line between Turnham Green and Hammersmith, I'm lucky if I get a seat. Fuck, I'm lucky if I get a place to stand.

    I'm sure the quaint Mary Poppins view of London must be lovely, but try to keep it vaguely realistic, eh chap?

  3. Re:What do you expect? on Microsoft Accepts Flash For Windows Mobile · · Score: 1

    YouTube is supported on the iPhone and Apple TV because Apple paid rather a lot of money to have YT transcode the Flash fiels into H264 files.

  4. Re:WikiPedia: Something good happening. on "DonorGate" Is Latest Scandal To Hit Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    +5, Brown-nosing.

  5. Re:But what we really want to know is.... on Stored Data to Exceed 1.8 Zettabytes by 2011 · · Score: 1

    More importantly, how many floppies is that (3s or 5s, if you please)?

  6. Well guys.. on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 5, Funny

    It was nice knowing you.

  7. Re:What a poser on Command Line Life Partner Wanted · · Score: 1

    Oh god I wish I had mod points.

  8. Re:I think i can speak for everyone when i say... on NBC's Zucker Hints At Return to iTunes · · Score: 1

    Not really speaking for everybody. I care. Though having the rental store in the UK would be of greater interest for me

  9. Re:Any suggestions to slashdotproof it? on OOXML's 662 Resolutions · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is the /. equivalent of the captains last words as he goes down with his ship.

  10. Re:And Fonts... on Everyday Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    Yeah. But it would take me so long to explain you'd literally die of old-age before I was done.

    So use whatever you feel like until you have to do a corporate project, then pray there are open-source fonts similar enough to what you'd normally use.

  11. Re:I should note... on NBC Direct Launches With Free Downloads · · Score: 1

    Okay, I hate to be nazi about this, but I'm really sick of seeing it.

    Mac, as in an Apple computer, is not written in capitals. MAC stands for Media Access Control, and is the hardware ID for a netowrk device. Thank you.

  12. Re:What's the deal with this? on Evidence of Historical Zombie Attack at Hierakonpolis · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, of course the article is a bit old. They are an Archeology Magazine, after all.

  13. Re:Easy on School District Threatens Suit Over Parent's Blog · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Pedophile is the Yank (incorrect) spelling.

    Paedophile is the British (correct) spelling.

  14. Re:banjo kazooie == donkey kong country on 50 Landmark Game Design Innovations · · Score: 2, Informative

    And Sonic 2 even earlier.

  15. Re:Which of course means.... on Over-50s Invade the Social Networking Scene · · Score: 1

    Thank fuck I'm not the only person who immediately thought the former, not the latter.

  16. Re:nice idea on YouTube For High-School Jocks · · Score: 1

    "Of course, one would suspect something if a set of parents spent $50 grand on hiring Pixar to make their son's youtube video."

    Because it'd be about 3 seconds long, right? :P

  17. Re:Looks Familiar on Nanotube Body Armor Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry everyone, he gets like this when his tinfoil hat is on too tight.

  18. Re:Good luck with that on iPhone Likely Set to Launch in the UK Next Week · · Score: 1

    I agree with this. I thought long and hard about the iPhone, but ultimately it's not enough of a phone for my needs (my current phone being the k810i - a refresh of the k800). No MMS was the main kicker, as I send at least 3 picture messages a day. The only thing I wish it had was WiFi, but having such good battery life makes up for it.

  19. Re:I guess they were scared of copyright issues... on Ubuntu Hardy Heron Announced · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ignoble Iguana? Wouldn't that be SuSE?

  20. Re:"Even women should be able to beat it" on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 1

    I read the tag as "even women can be at it".



    *Nudge nudge* *wink wink* Say no more!


  21. Re:Don't mind me, I'm just trying for +2, Funny. on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 5, Funny

    As /. posts go, it's not the funnest. ...I'll be in my bunk.

  22. Re:Anal Log Hole on University Taps Sewers for Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Good sir, I am hereby revoking your pun license, with immediate effect.

  23. Re:memories on AppleWorks/ClarisWorks Dies Quietly · · Score: 1

    ...and still the same code on my G5 iMac.

    It will be missed, but Numbers(and hell, even Office:Mac) massively outclass everything it ever did.

  24. Re:Darned whippersnappers on Does Going Digital Mean Missing Music? · · Score: 1

    Let's just say I won't be going around his for a sleepover party any time soon.

  25. Re:Removal Tool on Storm Worm Rising · · Score: 5, Funny

    No fukcing way am I going anywhere near a site called Team Furry.

    The goggle really might do nothing.
