  1. Re:No, it won't help on Free Tuition for Math, Science, and Engineering? · · Score: 1

    People look at you funny if you want to talk about the space program or something crazy like that.

    I never have that problem.

    Of course, I work at a company that makes spacecraft.

  2. And the there's the... on The IT Industry's Red Shift Theory · · Score: 1

    brown shift theory, where any and all overblown theories about the interwebs invariably approach utter bullshit at an increasing rate.

  3. At times like these... on Going to Yosemite? Get Your Passport Ready! · · Score: 1

    ...I'm glad to be such a complete misanthrope. I love anything that fucks with the population. :-) I totally want to be appointed the National I.D. Czar. I'd wear my Evil Overlord cape to work, and come up with the most degrading things for people to do to get their IDs. Oh, and eventually you'd need the ID card to use a public toilet or buy a pack of gum. Mwah ha ha ha ha!

    And your Slashdot number would be replaced by your ID number. No ID? No Slashdot. Oh the irony!

  4. Warmest year on James Hansen on the Warmest Year Brouhaha · · Score: 1

    The warmest year was 3,995,198,201 B.C. Everyone knows that! Sheesh! You kids these days...

  5. Re:Ok, which is it now? on James Hansen on the Warmest Year Brouhaha · · Score: 1

    Whichever one supports your ideology.

    Personally, I think the issue is so muddied by politics for *ALL* sides that there isn't a person on Earth who really knows what's going on or what's causing it.

  6. Re:cue the... on The CD Turns 25 Today · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cue the vinyl fanatics who will whine about how "warm" their vinyls sound

    Don't worry. I think I've managed to kill tham all.

  7. Re:Goofy taging... please stop on See Who Is Whitewashing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Who added the tag "slashdot liberal whining"?

    I agree with your outrage!

    The term "slashdot liberal whiner" is *triply* redundant. :)

  8. Re:Raffle? on Google News Allowing Story Participants To Comment · · Score: 1

    >>> (Took almost an hour it seems)

    I know! Slashdot TOTALLY let me down!

  9. Sounds fine on Does Going Digital Mean Missing Music? · · Score: 1

    Above a certain bit you can't hear a difference. Some, who desperately need to be snobbish about SOMETHING, claim otherwise, but who cares about people like that?

  10. Raffle? on Google News Allowing Story Participants To Comment · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A raffle on how long before some is called a Nazi?

    I take 2 to 3 milliseconds.

  11. Love it on Amazon Invests In Dynamic Pricing Model For MP3s · · Score: 2, Funny

    The stuff I like will cost 0.01 while the popular spooge hits the cap. I love you, free market. :)

  12. Huh on Humanity's Genetic Diversity on the Decline · · Score: 2, Funny

    skewing the data in the local female population

    So that's what they call it now.

  13. Why not? on 8 Million Year Old Bacteria Thaws, Lives · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Also somehow they are sure that this is safe.

    Everything to which the bacteria had adapted is 8 million years dead.

    Poor little feller... :(

  14. Re:Thinks I would like to happen! on William Gibson Gives Up on the Future · · Score: 1

    New materials are manufactured from Dark Matter. Buildings 10 miles high, space elevators ala Space 3001.

    Sadly, the dark matter is STILL transparent to light, and people just keep walking into the damned things, breaking noses.

  15. Mod parent +5 Stripperlicious! on Federal Agents Raid Homes for Modchips · · Score: 1

    Pretend you are a stripper. Someone pays you $40 to give them a lap dance.

    Best. Analogy. Ever.

  16. Re:The unanswered question on Smarter Teens Have Less Sex · · Score: 1

    You know what I mean, though... that the only reason anyone did this study is to get paid for pseudoporn studies.

  17. QD - Futurist! on What Does the 'Next Internet' Look Like? · · Score: 1

    It'll look exactly the same, but more glowy.

    And better, um, fonts.

  18. Re:It looks like on What Does the 'Next Internet' Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but we'll still party like it's 1999!

  19. The unanswered question on Smarter Teens Have Less Sex · · Score: 1

    Anyone else feel that, somewhere behind this study, is someone who just gets a boner about underage sex?

  20. :-P on Mac OS X Leopard is Now Officially Unix · · Score: 1

    I know everyone out there was really worried about this one. Welcome to the August news vacuum!

    Well... *I* was.

    (Slumps shoulders and kicks pebble)

  21. Re:Two jobs in the US by 2020 on Apple Sued Over iPhone Non-Replaceable Batteries · · Score: 1

    I'll be 3. Retired. :)

    Yep. Just me and many whores in my high tech log home in the woods surrounded by an impenetrable force bubble.

    Of course, I'm assuming some sort of massive pay off from superstring theory between now and then with the force bubble thing.

  22. Re:On avg Americans change phones every 18 months on Apple Sued Over iPhone Non-Replaceable Batteries · · Score: 1

    I bought one of those Mil-Spec Motorola phones... actually, it was free with the basic service plan. It's 6 years old and not a scratch. Just bought a battery for it for $8.

  23. Re:Unicorn and sexbot? on Japanese Auto Makers Teaming Up To Create Standard OS · · Score: 1

    UniCRON! C R O N, not CORN! Unicron was a Transformer.

    ObSheesh: Sheesh!

  24. I know what the game is on Sony Announces New Exclusive Rockstar Title · · Score: 0

    I was hiding in an air duct above the meeting room where the deal was made.

    It only has a working title that I barely made out.

    It was "Bloody something Murdering Rapist something something Detonate something Slaughter Kill Kill Kill something If I Could Walk That Way something Linoleum something."

    Most of the discussion of the game play seemed to involve the phrase "crushing the heads of small handicapped children".

    I was very very afraid.

  25. I support this product and/or service... on Japanese Auto Makers Teaming Up To Create Standard OS · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...only if there's a button on the steering wheel that transforms the car into a 20 foot tall battle robot. Or a sexbot. Or both. At the same time.

    The Toyota Unicron. Yeah, yeah, gimme some of that.

    Main competitor? The Kia GoBot.

    Ha ha ha ha! Go-bots....
