  1. In the Court... on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 5, Funny

    of the Redmond King?

  2. Obligatory obscure reference on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they are building on the work done by the folks at Ong's Hat.

  3. She did such good work.. on Prime Human Cloning Researcher Humiliated · · Score: 4, Funny

    "You do such an excellent job, I wish I had ten of you around here. Hey, wait a minute!...."

  4. League of Justice... on Pirates Thwarted by Sonic Weapon · · Score: 1
    "...pirates attempting to take control of a cruise ship of the coast of Africa, only to be twarted by some sort of sonic weapon..."

    Aquaman?

  5. First the plague carrying mice... on Armed Dolphins Released Into Gulf of Mexico · · Score: 2, Interesting

    First the plauge carrying mice disappear, and now dolphins with dart guns might have gotten loose. Maybe we are the third smartest species and they're just building up their arsenal....

  6. Mirror of his blog on DirectNIC Crisis Manager Braves the Chaos of New Orleans · · Score: -1, Redundant

    http://i.tawkr.com/ Let's not slashdot the guy, he's got enough to deal with.

  7. Re:Well, as for myself, my PC runs OT/NT on Code Auditing the Defcon Way · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes and things have really improved from OT to NT. Used to be that when the system crashed, you were down for 40 days, with NT you're back up and running in 3.

  8. Milage may vary... on Windows Vista Faces Lawsuits · · Score: 1
    So this is the new vista...

    http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/pictures/1971_ Olds_Vista_Cruiser.jpg/

    I'm thinking your milage may vary.

  9. Re:Guru Meditation on Happy Birthday, Amiga · · Score: 1

    I actually still have the Amiga Joyboard on which the "Guru Meditation" supposedly took place. If I remember correctly (and this may be apocryphal at best) they developed the Joyboard so that they could be seen doing something while keeping the OS work quiet. Supposedly one of the programmers would sit on the Joyboard (kind of a joystick that you stand on) and try not to have any of the contacts hit in order to clear his mind when he got frustrated with all the coding, hence "Guru Meditation".

  10. Dollar stores on Attack of the $1 DVDs · · Score: 1

    I get DVD's from the local dollar stores once in a while, tapes too. Granted, most of the stuff is B movie or old movies, but there are some winners in the mix. You really can't beat a copy of "This is Spinal Tap" for a buck!

  11. Goto on 83,431 Recited Digits of Pi · · Score: 1
    "This almost doubles the previous record of 42,195 digits by fellow Japanese Hiroyuki Goto."

    That's one long Goto statement.

  12. I can imagine... on PC Case Made Completely of Fans · · Score: 0, Redundant
    being in the room with this thing running.

    "Cool case mod."

    "What?"

  13. Obligatory Simpsons comment on NPR Talks Skyhooks · · Score: 1, Funny

    I hope this isn't going to be anything like the escalator to nowhere...

  14. Japanese geeks are leading the effort.. on Japan Striving For Energy Efficiency · · Score: 2, Funny

    By underclocking their computers in order to save electricity and slow global warming.

  15. Gender and season on Sexual Identification of A Rex Fossil · · Score: 1

    So assuming that T Rex has similar mating cycles to modern birds, we probably not only know the gender of these fossils, but what time of year they died.

  16. Re:Open Source will respond! on Photoshop for DNA · · Score: 1

    I'm a big fan of open source software. Somehow I'm not as enthusiastic about Open source bioengineering...

  17. Re:Really? I don't believe it. on Online Shoppers Naive About Online Prices · · Score: 1
    "I have multiple computers in my home and use the primary one to make online purchases, yet I have never noticed a price discrepancy when browsing the same items at the same online shops using my other computers."
    I'd hazzard to guess that they are looking at either your IP address (and just see that network as one computer) or login information. I suppose you could set up multiple accounts, vary your buying habits on each, and check the results, but that's just as much (or more) work than shopping around and doing some price comparison.
  18. Re:I only have one thing to say.. on Stanford and Volkswagen Create Autonomous Vehicle · · Score: 1

    Given the outcome of last years race it'll probably be more like Farfromfinishing.

  19. Familiar with Easypass? on Chase Deploying "Touchless" Credit Cards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you are familiar with Easypass you know how this will revolutionize things. According to one bill, our car passed a Parkway toll near the Atlantic City Expressway and entered the Lincoln Tunnel ten minutes later.

  20. Re:Make it stop! on The Star Wars Money Machine · · Score: 1
    "I'm hugging my tie-fighter from 1974 in the closet under a pile of socks."

    Where'd you find a tie-fighter in 1974?

  21. Escalator to nowhere? on Space Elevator Update · · Score: 1

    They already tried out this idea on The Simpsons. It didn't go well.

  22. Mandriva? on Mandrakesoft Changes Name to Mandriva · · Score: 1
    Sounds like someone out of a pulp Sci-fi novel.

    "All hail Mandriva, lord of the Moons of Jupiter!"

  23. Ultrasonic pulses? on Sony Patents Matrix-Like Game Technology · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who finds "...describe a technique for aiming ultrasonic pulses at specific areas of the brain." a bit disturbing?

  24. Re:Their response on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 2
    First I thought "What a bunch of clueless nerds". Man was I wrong.These guys know that the premier won't be there and they're still staying to raise money for charity?

    Star Wars nerds? Maybe. Good People? Definately.

  25. Oh boy... on Cartoon Network's 1st Original 'Toonami' Series · · Score: 1, Troll

    Just what we need, more bug eyed cartoon freaks. Is there some sort of contest among the anime people to see who can do a whole cartoon in the fewest frames? Can't they be a little more..oh, I don't know,animated?
