  1. Re:Newegg is awesome on A Look Inside Newegg · · Score: 2, Funny

    Gah! Advertisement drones have infiltrated slashdot!

    PS, I'm a real person and I love Newegg

    for serious

  2. What the hell does this thing do? on Songbird Flies Today · · Score: 1

    Or what doesn't it do, and why doesn't it do what I want it to do?

    I'm so confused...

  3. Re:Google Robots on Imagining the Google Future · · Score: 1

    Well, you'd be able to solve all your privacy issues by walking around in the nude and gluing porn to everything.

  4. Re:Congress blocked :P on Wikipedia vs Congressional Staffers [Update] · · Score: 1

    ...and a lawsuit ensues in which freedom of speech is acknowledged by the supreme court as having superiority over the egos of Congress. America will work like it always has, and speech has always had preferred position. I see no merit in your dystopian prognostication.

  5. Re:Moving time! on eBay Scraps Transaction Fees in China · · Score: 1

    And the fog and cloud formations that you later realize are pollution, and the immense gap between rich and poor, and the arbitrary nature of the government...

  6. I am still confused on China to Build World's First "Artificial Sun" · · Score: 1
    The problem is referred to as the hairy ball theorem. Imagine a sphere with hair growing out of it...It turns out that it is impossible to comb hair on a sphere so that no hair sticks up. A strand of hair that is standing on end would be equivalent to an instability in the reactor. However, a hairy doughnut can be so combed, and thus adjustments to the magnetic field can be made to correct the irregularities.

    WTF DOES THIS MEAN!?
  7. Re:I'm not surprised... on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    My friend watched Serenity, so I asked him what he thought of it. He looked at me with this confused-dog expression, and asked, "What the FUCK is a 'boon'?"

    Mal said "boon" in passing and completely ruined the rest of the movie as my friend tried to figure out what it meant.

  8. Yeah, but... on South Korea To Develop Army and Police Robots · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...he's dead.

  9. Re:Cement Truck go BOOM! on MythBusters - The Lost Experiments · · Score: 1

    I find it ironic that this is just below CyricZ's comment about quality.

  10. A Sundance Sneak Preview on Crossing America on a Segway · · Score: 2, Funny

    Segway Trail

    Narrator: Your Segway has lost a wheel. Resupply/Keep going?
    keep going

    Narrator: Sam has been bitten by a poisonous snake. Medicate/Keep going?
    keep going

    Narrator: Your Segway has run out of batteries. Recharge/Hunt?
    hunt

    Narrator: You are out of ammunition. You have killed everything in the vicinity. You now have 13,058lbs of meat. You are overburdened.

    Narrator: Sam has died.

    Narrator: The Segway is irrepairable.

    You have died of stupidity. Play again?


    We laughed, we cried...Segway Trail. Watch it.

  11. Re:Is it just me? on OEM Hard Drive With Window · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think it would be awesome if you could fit an aquarium in there.

  12. Re:Black stripe on Hackers Rebel Against Spy Cams · · Score: 2, Funny
    Size of eyes, how deep they go into the skull, and the distance between them is a big part of what makes a face unique.

    That's why no one recognizes Superman as Clark Kent. He takes his glasses off!
  13. So what? on Apple Designer Honoured By British Crown · · Score: 1

    OH...that says "crown," not "clown."

  14. A cat? on Sony DRM Installed Even When EULA Declined · · Score: 1

    You, sir, are much too attached to your computer.

  15. Re:Who are the fools? on Stem Cells to Treat Brain Injury in Children · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lemme tell ya, it'll take a lot more than stem cells to let Christopher Reeve ride a polo pony at this point.

    Though I imagine duct tape would do it.

  16. I know this one... on 3 Email Chiefs Come to Dinner · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's Kevin Doerr (no relation to the venture capitalist) and Yahoo's Ethan Diamond walk into a bar.

    Google's Paul Buchheit ducks.

  17. Re:A female perspective on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1

    I'm in Computer Science at UBC, and there are a lot of girls in my classes... but at least 90% of them are Chinese.

    I'm a Chinese American high school senior applying to colleges...and you have just convinced me to pony up the $100 application fee for UBC!

    Damn these raging hormones...

  18. Re:Privacy != Freedom && Freedom != Privac on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1

    I read that as Piracy != Freedom & Freedom != Piracy

    I was sad.

  19. Psych! on Opera to Put User's Face in Times Square · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Goatse!

  20. Re:Actually that's wrong... on Depressed Hamsters Help Researchers · · Score: 2, Funny

    But the question is, does it weigh as much as a duck?

  21. Re:There's probably some truth to this on Intel Calls $100 Laptops Undesired Gadgets · · Score: 1

    I thought it was: Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll sit in a boat all day drinking beer with his buddies."

  22. Re:How about . . . on Tulane University to Reduce Engineering School · · Score: 1

    Well, you obviously knew enough to tell him you knew nothing, so that's gotta be worth something. Yay /.!

  23. right click on Windows Live goes Local · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I really love the right click features - getting directions to and from places you don't know the exact addresses of are a godsend.

  24. Titan Rain on Is the Cyberterror Threat Credible? · · Score: 1

    It's not the complete take-down of the USA's electronic infrastructure that should worry you. After all, that would hurt everyone. This is what's more realistic:

    Titan Rain was covered on slashdot before, but the linked Time article has since gone premium. A quick google search brings up this and this, though I'm not sure how reliable they are since they're random Google search results.

    Ah, here's a ZDnet article. Might not all be FUD.

  25. Re:So... on Sony Develops Buckyball Fuel Cell · · Score: 1

    Speaking of which, yay for proprietary formats. With their previous track record, I wouldn't be surprised if this was for Sony products only.
