  1. Big deal! on Toyota Going 100% Hybrid By 2020 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm still waiting for my Mr. Fusion , that will enable me to power my vehicle on ordinary household garbage! After all, it's the only power source that's capable of generating the 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity necessary to run the Flux Capacitor in my DeLorean! ;-)

  2. We found it! on ESA's Cluster Spacecraft Makes Shocking Discovery · · Score: 2, Funny
    This must be the homeworld of the Ori, and this must be a sign of the enlightenment! "Those who reject the path to enlightenment must be destroyed."

    "Hallowed are the Ori."

  3. Re:my ancient 8 digit UIN still works on Thousands of ICQ Numbers Deleted · · Score: 1
    My 237XXX UIN is still working. Though I don't really use it anymore. Still login occasionally through trillian, but virtually all of my contacts are either on AOL or Yahoo IM.

    Still not sure what the big deal is about all these low UINs,... why people want to hang onto them like they're some kind of status symbol is beyond me,...

  5. Re:Well... on Big Red Button Disasters? · · Score: 1
    Well, that's a great story. But I could probably top that. When I was about 4, I pulled a fire alarm in a convent. Still not sure exactly why my parents took me to visit a convent (must be a catholic thing), but to this day, I still have these visions of nuns running around screaming and panicking, trying to find the button to deactivate the thing.

    Probably going straight to hell for that one! Aisle seat, please!

  6. Re:Just what I dreamed of! on Lucas To Make New Live Action Star Wars Films · · Score: 5, Funny
    The only plot of a successful Jar Jar Binks-based movie might be something like, Gungans on a Plane! They could re-cast Samuel L. Jackson back into his role as Mace Windu. It would be an epic tale of the Jedi Master in his early days battling the evil Gungans on the planet Naboo, ultimatel forcing their whole civilization into exile to live beneath the waters of the planet forever, hoping they'd be forgotten (until discovered in ep. 1 by Qui Gon and Obi Wan).

    "I am sick and tired of these mother-f**king Gungans . . . on this mother-f**king starship!"

    Hmm, come to think if it, I might actually pay to see this movie! ;-)

  7. This is why fark has a Florida tag on Two US States Restrict Used CD Sales · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So much for buying used CDs from some dude at a garage sale. Is the MAFIAA going to go after garage sales, too? Where does the witch hunt end?

  8. Re:This is already a solvable problem. on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 0

    Please, somebody with MOD points, MOD parent up +36 insightful. If I had MOD points, I'd do it myself! This is an excellent idea.

  9. Is ICANN really this desperate? on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 1

    This really goes to show that ICANN is really desperate to try and make it look like it's actually useful. First, they give us completely useless domains like .museum, .aero, and .biz. Then, the debate .xxx until it's dead. Then, they debate it some more, and still can't decide whether it's a good idea. Now, they want to extort $50,000 from every bank in the world every year in the name of security ?!?! What kind of drugs does ICANN use, anyways?!?!

    I bet the first thing you'll do if you had a million dollars, would be sign up for a millionaires email [millionaires24.com], wouldn't you, smart spender?

    No. The first think I'd do if I had a million dollars, . . .

    is two chicks at the same time, man. That's what I'd do. And I bet, if I had a million dollars, I could probably hook that up. 'Cause chicks dig a dude with money. ;-)

  11. Re:Champoined Needed - Sounds Good To Me on Bill Gates' Management Style · · Score: 2, Funny
    Two important facts stand against you
    1) Balmer is not related to you

    Steve Ballmer is my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate, you insensitive clod!

  12. Re:No surprise... on Some Schools Ending Laptop Programs · · Score: 1
    Electronic textbooks cost about the same as printed ones, and publishers love to sell them on a subscription basis (as in, the book evaporates after the semester is done).

    Hmm, that's strange. That sounds like somebody tried that before, . . .

  13. domain name? on Ad-Supported Free Music Downloads Doomed to Failure? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if we7.com is doomed to failure or not. I guess the market will ultimately determine that. But seriously, is cybersquatting these days really so bad that the best name for the site that they could come up with is WE7.COM?!?! Seriously?!?! WTF does that mean?!?!

  14. Re:Obligatory RIAA slam on Music Decoded From 600-Year-Old Carvings · · Score: 1

    All tourists must now sign an anti-piracy document, and pay a $2,500 "copyright fee" if they take photos.

    That "homeless guy" you saw in downtown Denver panhandling for money,. . . is actually an IT professional whose job was recently outsourced to Delhi last year.

  16. puleeeeze! on Digital Camera Vs. Camera Phone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Get over the "megapixel" factor of digital cameras. There are so many more factors involved in photography, it's not even close to fair to compare megapixels. Sure, it's entirely possible for someone with a low quality camera phone to take a reasonably good picture compared to something out of a dSLR. Half of the photo depends on who is taking the photo and how the lighting is set up. Who gives a frack about megapixels!

  17. Re:More Power for What? on The Gigahertz Race is Back On · · Score: 1

    Those guys doing "great" meticulous coding during the 80s forgot one little, billion dollar mistake ... like only putting in two digits for the year instead of four. ;-)

  18. Bad Headline on HP Stops Selling Printers, Starts Selling Prints · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't see that HP will stop selling printers. They just won't sell this one. You can still buy other HP printers, though. But the Edgeline does seem like a nice printer, though. $50 says that in 5 years, every office will have one (that they own).

  19. Google? on Browser Wars Declared Over? · · Score: 1

    What was Google doing there?!?! Do they have a browser that I don't know about?

  22. Re:Laptops for kids opposed too on An iPod For Every Kid In Michigan · · Score: 1

    Cobb County, Georgia?!?! Really?! If they gave students iPods, it would probably be with the primary intent to distract them away from actually reading their anti-religious, anti-Christian science textbooks that discuss the "Theory of Evolution."

  23. Breaking News! on An iPod For Every Kid In Michigan · · Score: 1

    This just in! RIAA lawyers have sent letters threatening to sue to every child in the state of Michigan. Each letter asks the child for $3,000 to prevent a lawsuit due to the intent that they might break the law by downloading music illegally to their free, government-issued iPod. They don't have the iPod yet, and they haven't downloaded any music yet, but the RIAA calculates a 90% probability that they will do so, and they are trying to institute some preventative measures in place before they actually do download illegal files. Any child that fails to pay will be sued in Michigan Court.

    Whoops! "prostitites" should be "prostitutes" ... sorry! No pun intended! Really! ;-)

  25. interesting on 1-800-Google Launches · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Tried the number, and I'd say it works pretty well. I searched for "pizza" in "Scottsdale, Arizona", and it gave me quite a listing. I was also impressed that I only had to say "Flagstaff", and it knew automatically that it was in Arizona also (although there is also a Flagstaff, Maine, but I think that's a ghost town these days) ...

    Google also recognized the term "brewpub", and located my favorite one, too! :-)

    Sadly, they didn't understand my search for, "beer and hookers." But my search for "prostitites" in Scottsdale resulted in a response of, "We didn't find any exact matches, but here are a couple that come close ..." I got a kick out of the fourth listing they provided, which was for the Alliance Defense Fund,. . . (no joke ;-)

    An an unrelated note, if all of use call this number tonight, do you think it might be a first to "slashdot" a telephone? ;-) If we can slashdot Google's number, we should have CowboyNeal post a Telemarketer of the Week's number on slashdot ... try to bring down some truly useless and evil people,... :-)
