  1. Re:Old News.... on Zune DRM Cracked · · Score: 2, Funny

    You'll have to snort instead of shooting up, but this might help. And it comes with a free blender.

  2. Re:Even more outrage... on BBC Trust to Meet With OSC Over iPlayer · · Score: 1

    Maybe CowboyNeal could post a weekly mash up of all stories he found particularly interesting, instead of duping them. In case you were wondering: I don't find the additional links to linuxjournal and currybet interesting. Fewer then 200 comments, most of them obvious spam. Additionally, everyone knows that intelligent people post on Slashdot.
    Don't even get me started about http://digital-lifestyles.info/

  3. Even more outrage... on BBC Trust to Meet With OSC Over iPlayer · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Even more outrage can be found here.

  4. Re:More reliable than humans? on How to Backup Your Smart Phone · · Score: 1

    Had it fallen out of my shirt pocket into a comode
    Forgoten to take it out of the pocket in my shorts before going swimming
    Had to remove a shorting battery because the desktop was in my pocket when the canoe tipped over
    Left my desktop on the table at a restraunt
    Left my desktop sitting on the roof of my car while I drove off
    Had my desktop fall out of my pocket while getting into the car
    Had someone steal a desktop out of my car

    So, I gather you don't go to LAN parties?
  5. I for one ... on Will Microsoft Put The Colonel in the Kernel? · · Score: 1

    I, for one, applaud this patent application. Furthermore I hope that MS will vigorously protect this IP from other people(/companies), who might want to use it. This way, I will (probably) never encounter it on any PC that I'm using.

    While they're at it, they can patent spam and viruses as well.

  6. Re:Sex, anyone? on The Dusty Concern for the Mission to Mars · · Score: 1

    Please, after 6+ months without sex, you can be damned sure that the male astronauts will find a way. Hell, I can think of 6 right now, ... 7 ... 8 ... Ok, back on track: ( ... 9 ... ) There is always the possibility of (... 10 ...)

    Screw this, I'm of to draw diagrams for the rest of the evening. Maybe I'll make a nice presentation, and if my gf is up for it: beta testing.

    Btw. does anyone know any swimming pools where we could get some privacy, some Barry White playing on underwater speakers, and some scuba gear?

  7. Re:Guess what? on Microsoft's OOXML Formulas Could Be Dangerous · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just because a certain feature is the de facto standard, doesn't mean it shouldn't be included in a standards document to combat ambiguity.

    Btw, comparing Excel (Excel users) to a programming language (programmers) is a stretch at best.

  8. Re:23 Mile Bicycle Ride on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    We would like to honor you at the next Slashdot Award Ceremony. Where you will be awarded the coveted "Gold Plated Geek Membership Card". :)

  9. Re:I wouldn't know on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    Study, talk to people and figure out how to do his job better. Apply for his position, if he won't listen to you.

  10. Cellphone on Arrest Under New NY Anti-Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    I would like to invite you to speculate when 'normal' cellphones will be considered 'video-recording-equipment'. Because I don't think that such a law can be enforced by then.

  11. Re:OK on Whirling Twirling Propeller Trike · · Score: 1

    Seeing as he is studying at MIT, riding around on the public road with an unducted fan, could almost be considered criminal. That being said ... throw in some blade pitch control and proper gearing (without the chain) and I would want one. In red please.

  12. Re:Can I get a consensus opinion? on SAP Admits to 'Inappropriate' Downloading of Oracle Code · · Score: 1

    I'd try www.winehq.org first :)

  13. Re:When you take something that doesn't belong to on SAP Admits to 'Inappropriate' Downloading of Oracle Code · · Score: 1

    I'm just glad that we (the human race) invented the wheel _before_ we invented copyright.

  14. Jack Thompson crazy? on Thompson Says Florida Bar Requested Psych Test · · Score: 1

    Someone thinks that Jack Thompson might not be playing with a full deck?
    Dear God! Hell must have frozen over solid!

  15. Re:Hmmmmm! on Allofmp3 Shut Down, Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    P: Yeah, W ... about that Missile Defense Shield. I'm not to happy with that. But I can give you Allofmp3.com.
    W: Daddy what do you think?
    Daddy: Read my lips, No New Taxes! Oh, on the MDS ... do we really care that much about protecting the EU?
    W: Well, if you're going to be all kriptik about it, I'll call Jebb. He's always willing to help.

  16. Re:I, for one, welcome our... on What Happened Before the Big Bang? · · Score: 1

    They're already here....

  17. Re:This is my single biggest push to free software on Vista is Watching You · · Score: 1

    There's more info on Cedega's wiki: http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/wiki/Main_P age

    Btw, I'm not a "Cedega fanboi", neither do I have a subscription. I'm just praying for the day that "The Sims 2" will be supported, so I can finally convert my GF's PC.

  18. Re:This is my single biggest push to free software on Vista is Watching You · · Score: 3, Informative

  20. Re:Lacking in skill on Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell · · Score: 1

    Either that or the aliens are just noobs. I mean: how many pro aliens crash their saucers- be they egg-shaped or not?

    Do not attribute to malice that which can be easily explained by incompetence.

    Has your sig ever been more appropriate?
  21. Re:But even worse on Far Future Will See No Evidence of Universe's Origin · · Score: 1

    Nah, the bigger problem would seem to be that as far as we know we are the only sentients capable of taking advantage of the information currently available... which places a huge responsiblity on our shoulders.

    It's probably in Google's cache by now. Problem solved.

  22. Re:a solution that works somewhat here..... on Cart Locking System Released as Open Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Like with most highly sophisticated systems, an unfolded paper clip will do fine.

  23. Re:legal approval? on SWSoft Out of Compliance With the GPL · · Score: 1

    Unless you've got a team of lawyers in every country in the world,...

    Or you could sign your copyright over to the FSF, who will do it for you.

  24. Finally... on Russia Claims Large Chunk of North Pole · · Score: 1

    I've just figured out how to start WWIII in my next novel.

  25. That's it ... on Cyberbullying Gains Momentum in US · · Score: 1

    That's it, the final straw. We have to shut down the internet RIGHT NOW. Won't someone please think of the children?!?
