  1. Re:The shy return of vinyl? on Compact Disc Turns 26, Has a Bright Future · · Score: 3, Funny

    But can I get the latest Hannah Montana in vinyl? That's what I really want.

  2. Re:Paid for Fair and Square on ISO Rejects OOXML Protest Appeals · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yea sure. Because everytime I see a story about Microsoft posted on Slashdot I think "oh man, another page full of knee-jerk pro-MS comments!"

  3. Cloud Computing on Microsoft Working On "Post-Windows" Cloud Computing OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    If only someone could utilize the power of cloud computing to get rid of dupes.

  4. Here's an idea. on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe if you're 65 years or older and you have vision problems you shouldn't be driving?

  5. Shhh! on Cybersecurity and Piracy on the High Seas · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't let W. hear this. Next thing you know we'll be sending the Internet Marines to invade Romania.

  6. Re:Quite revealing... on Microsoft Internal Emails Show Dismay With Vista · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well contrary to popular portrayal, psychopaths are usually pretty unorganized people.

  7. I think I've seen this movie. on NASA to Demonstrate Moon Rover · · Score: 1

    Drilling in a low-grav environment? Maybe NASA should call in the assistance of a maverick well driller and his crew of wacky misfits to help get the job done.

  8. Re:Abolish domain tasting on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    That has absolutely nothing to do with this. Registrars aren't using dedicated IP's for the singular purpose of hosting one "tasted" domain. Domain name issues really don't have anything to do with the IPv4 issue.

  9. Makes sense on Leaked RIAA Training Video · · Score: 1

    That must be why the RIAA is sueing twelve year olds and grandmothers; to protect America!

  10. Brilliant! on SCO Goes Private With $100 Million Backing · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What kind of genius investment group thinks sueing IBM is a winning proposition?

  11. Re:Iran has NOT "offline" on Fifth Cable Cut To Middle East · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You beter be careful my friend. They are watching you now.

  12. Re:News? on DOS 5 Upgrade Video · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hey it's better than the 12, count 'em, 12 consecutive non-stories posted by kdawnson that are on the frontpage right now.

  13. Quick use the Drizzle Phone baby! on Police Data-Mining Done Right · · Score: 1

    This technology will be perfect for the Drizzle! This will give him plenty of lead time to get the clouds going-with the sheets and sheets of rain-it drenches the criminals!

  14. Hmmmmm on Checkers Solved, Unbeatable Database Created · · Score: 3, Funny

    So what happens if one automaton plays another? Does the universe implode in some kind of horrible checkers armageddon?

  15. Russian parts, American parts, on ISS Computer Failure · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're all made in Taiwan!!

  16. Re:These people govern for _all_ , not just techie on 'Dangers of the Internet' Resolution Passed By Senate · · Score: 1

    No kidding, I think your typical Slashdot posters overlook these problems and assume that everyone should be as knowledgable as them about technology. Just wait until someday many of them become parents with full time jobs who don't have time to read every tech blog in existance. They might change their minds about censor/nanny type software after the first time their 11 year old visits a couple porn sites.

  17. Tech Industry? on Job Cuts For Dell, Motorola, and Circuit City · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't know if I'd really consider working for Circuit City to be part of the "tech industry". More like retail sales.

  18. Thank goodness. on Home Secretary Requests Fingerprint-Activated iPods · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know I'm sleeping better at night knowing that Homeland Security is focusing it's attention and resources to the critical matter of protecting the nation's valuable mp3 players. Forget about border security, cargo inspection or tracking illegal immigrants. That stuff is peanuts.

  19. Amazing! on Vista Sales Expectations Too High, Office Doing Well · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's almost as if the crappy product with very little innovation is selling poorly, while the well thought out product that has some innovative features is doing nicely. Who woulda thought.

  20. Re:Good News, Everyone! on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 1

    Gwobo-wha-what?

  21. You insensitive clod! on Dell Laptops Have Shocking New Problem · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's how three of my family members died!

  22. Man... on 7 Ways to Be Mistaken for a Spammer · · Score: 1

    I know its bad to be called a spammer, but I can't even being to imagine what it's like to have something thing you're a spammmer.

  23. That's horrible! on How eBay Sellers Fix Auctions · · Score: 0

    If only there was a way people weren't forced into bidding on overpriced items available in online auctions!

    Oh wait... they aren't!

  24. What? on Who won? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    'Freeman claims that he is not a political person (and adds "I despise the Democrats")'

    So hating one of the major political parties involved in that election makes him neutral?

  25. Dear Apple, on New iPod Owner Onslaught Overwhelms iTunes · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bought my wife an IPod Nano and an I-Tunes gift card. I am so sorry.
