  1. Keep an old browser handy on Opera Tells EU That Microsoft's IE Hurts the Web · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I keep an installation file of Internet Explorer 3.0 available on a floppy disk for emergencies.

  2. Re:No room anyway on Airlines to Offer In-Flight Internet Service · · Score: 1

    That would be nice, but JetBlue doesn't serve my local airport.

  3. No room anyway on Airlines to Offer In-Flight Internet Service · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Call me when there's even enough room to open my laptop to a viewable angle.

  4. Re:Beuwulf! Beuwulf! on FBI's Bot Roast II Sees Great Success · · Score: 1

    Scruffy looking botherder?

  5. View of Earth on Rare Soviet Retro-Future Space Art · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Did anyone else notice that the only image with a view of Earth still featured the Americas, instead of Mother Russia?

  6. Re:Block'em on Fighting Back Against Ghost Calls · · Score: 1

    I've tried that, and when I give them the 800 number from the caller ID, I get some BS message that this number can't be logged or something.

  7. Gotcha! on Subterranean Slashdot Email Blues · · Score: 1

    One of the few simple pleasures is being able to point to a higher up when someone who is complaining is wrong or flat out lied.

  8. They have a weakness on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Killbots have a preset kill limit.

  9. Can't top this one on Rewritable Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    "Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, K-E-L-L-Y"
    - Woody Boyd

  10. Hi, I'm Troy McClure on Politically Incorrect Observations About Human Nature · · Score: 1

    Have you ever wondered why fat people have fat children? Or why Asian people have Asian children?

  11. Mmmmm.....Brain Candy on New Drug Helps to Dampen Bad Memories · · Score: 1

    Gleemonex anyone? As long as there aren't any flipper children, right? Right?

  12. NY State is a Dell Customer on New York Sues Dell for Poor Customer Service · · Score: 1

    Around 1999-2000 I was doing workstation installs for about 1/2 dozen NY State agencies, and they all used Dell servers and workstations.

    So if the State themselves are getting screwed by their service contract, then it's quite likely they'd sue.

    (PS: Anyone else out there who worked for Atlantic?)

  13. My favorite movie! on In France, Only Journalists Can Film Violence · · Score: 1

    Happy Slappy Hero Pup!

  14. Photo evidence? on The Blackest Material · · Score: 1

    How the hell do you take a picture of the stuff? Will a Polaroid result in some kind of infinite loop?

  15. Re:Hollywood? Promoting Writers? on Solving DRM in the BitTorrent Age · · Score: 1

    Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

  16. More dimensions on A 3D Printer On Every Desktop? · · Score: 1

    What we need is a 4D printer, so I can print out today's track results and retrieve them yesterday.

  17. Animals in the sewers on Robots to Crawl Under the City · · Score: 1
    Yeah, those nanites are cute when they come home from the County Fair in a little static-free bag. Then they get bigger and you flush them down the toilet.

    Next thing you know, sewers are crawling with Hunter-Killers.

  18. Telephone notification on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 1
    In the movie "Ransom", a telephone rings, and on the other line is an automated voice saying "You have e-mail".

    Even the amount of spam in 1996 would have the phone ringing off the hook!

  19. I'll ask it... on RIAA Drops Suit Against Santangelo · · Score: 5, Funny
    Won't somebody think about the children?!?!?

    Seriously, who will think of them? If they are the parent's responsibility, and the charges against the parent are dismissed, what will protect them against the blood-thirsty lawyers?

  20. One fine day at the ATM on Robots Could Some Day Demand Legal Rights · · Score: 1

    "Honey! C'mon over here, Sugar-buns. This machine just called me an asshole!" - Stephen King, Maximum Overdrive

  21. He got to see the director's cut! on Revisiting the Physics of Buckaroo Banzai · · Score: 2, Informative
    "The machine which finally enables Buckaroo Banzai to move through matter is based on decades of research that are shown to the audience through home movies and flashbacks."

    Dr. Sneider must have seen an early edit of the film in 1984. The home movie segment wasn't widely available until the recent DVD release.

  22. Ohh....YARN store on "Sysadmin of the Year" Winners Announced · · Score: 1
    I went through the whole synopsis and 1/2 the posts before I realized it said "YARN store" instead of "YAM store".
    Either way, it probably doesn't change the social scene much.

    yarn yam yarn yam yam yarn

    FONT that!

  23. Everybody knows... on Acoustic Levitation Works On Small Animals · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...that sheep do not fly as much as they do plummet.

  24. Re:Next up on the polticial agenda... on MS Anti-ODF Lobbyist Named As MA Tech Advisor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great...a sweaty Ballmer running around the U.N.:
    "Ambassadors! Ambassdors! Ambassadors! Ambassadors!"

  25. Cry, Crippy-boy, cry! on Should Online Stores Be Subject To ADA? · · Score: 1
