  1. Pee Wee Herman? on BBC Writer Tries PC Repair, Finds Poor Software · · Score: 4, Funny
    "Most of the problems I've been called to look at have been caused by viruses and spyware, some by strange software [conflicts], and only one by faulty hardware."

    Fortunately, the hardware problem ended up being a temporary issue.

  2. The MySQL team thinks the PostgreSQL team... on MySQL 5.0.3-beta Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...is a bunch of wimps with no horsepower-ower-ower-ower! Gentleman, start your flames.

  3. Multiplayer games == cie la vie on Girls Got Game · · Score: 0
    When you allow others to enter into your gaming experience, the experience is no longer "yours." Way it goes.

    FWIW, I avoid networked, multiplayer games for this reason. After a long day grinding it out with others at work, the last thing I want is to grind it out with yet more people online.

  4. Re:Can anyone interpret this: on Gnome Removed From Slackware · · Score: 0

    You're going to install XFree86 when Gentoo 2005 comes out?

  5. Re:The revenge of the 2D Fighter on 3D Games Patent Threatens Industry? · · Score: 0
    I bet those two had a hand in this with their secret society of fighting game developers.

    Yeah, those 100-hour work weeks make many a game developer quick and lethal. What's one to do? Beat you over the head with a printout of particle system code?

  6. We all live in a yellow mesh submarine on 3D Games Patent Threatens Industry? · · Score: 0

    This is a weak submarine patent cash grab. Nothing to see here. Please disperse.

  7. Re:The typical things Slashdot users will say: on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 0

    That's the first time that joke's been funny in a loooong time. Thanks!

  8. Re:Picture of the culprit on Culprit of Leaked Doctor Who Episode Found · · Score: 0

    No, that's Bender. See, he's grabbing a brew.

  9. Happy birthday to you on The PSP's Birthday Party · · Score: 1, Funny

    Happy birthday to you Happy birthday, dear Paint Shop Pro Happy birthday to you

  10. It is over. on IE Developer Responds to Mozilla Accusations · · Score: 0
    I won't deny you your complaint, but seriously folks, after years without alpha transparency support and now MSFT waving its hand at CSS2, you might as well can any hope you have for being able to design and code to a single standard. It is over.

    Web development will forever suck fat cock, because you will have to spend many mind-numbing man-hours tweaking your web sites. Cope. This is what web development has been, is now, and forever will be. No amount of letter writing, e-mailing, phone calls, or mobs with pitch forks and torches is going to change it.

    It isn't a matter of difficulty. It's about some people exerting control where they can at the expense of everybody else.

  11. Re:Stirling Engine on The Solar Death Ray · · Score: 0
    I stopped it when I walked in front of it and blocked the sun from reaching it.

    Yes, but can you document this? The committee won't accept your assertion without proof.

  12. Re:Solar Death Ray on The Solar Death Ray · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but paper covers rock. I swear!

  13. Mistake frying that Tetris disk on The Solar Death Ray · · Score: 0

    On 5.25" no less. That would be worth something someday. Oh well.

  14. Let's get pissed! on Irish Movie Theatres Go Digital · · Score: 0

    Dupe, dee, dupe, dupe.

  15. Re:...MOD +1 FLAIMBAIT! on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 0

    Flamebait, perhaps?

  16. Re:BBC archive background music problem on British TV Station Offers Downloads · · Score: 0

    I don't watch much BBC outside of BBC Nightly News on occasion on PBS here in the States, so I don't really know much about the music used, but... ...why not create your own? A couple Acid Pro loops and you've got a 20-30 second clip of worthless but copyright-free music you can drop in.

  17. Prevalence of internet cafes to blame on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 0
    p-p-p-powerbook!

    An entertaining, revealing read to say the least. I believe the prevalence of internet cafes are to blame. Affords greater anonymity as opposed to doing this from a business or home residence.

    As you can discern from my nickname, I like bikes. I often peruse the listings on eBay to see what's out there (I only have two bikes...so far!). There's no shortage of 1-day and 3-day listings that appear to originate from London. They're pure scam listings for very high-end bikes like Pinarello Dogmas, Colnago C-40s and C-50s, and Trek Madones.

    (is there a -1 Bad Joke? I hope not) :-)

    (is there a -1 Bad Spelling? I've lost hope) :-P

  19. What a troll article on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 0

    As evidenced by the fact that it's posted as a YRO article rather than science. What the fuck does iMAX's selection of flicks to show have to do with my rights? Privileges maybe, but not rights.

  20. /var even worse on Solving the /etc Situation? · · Score: 0
    What goes in /var? Logs, databases, package management stuff (e.g. portage). Then there's DNS and mail stuff (e.g. djbdns and qmail). At least with /etc, you can be reasonably sure you're looking at config files. /var is truly the "Wild West" of the filesystem.

    I'd offer some suggestions, but it would not matter. Folks are going to riddle directories as they see fit. Way it goes.

  21. Re:comeback on Firefox Continues to Bite into IE Usage · · Score: 0

    I had tabbed browsing in lynx well before NetCaptor, Opera, or Mozilla ever did.

  22. Re:But it ignores the obvious on French News Agency Sues Google News · · Score: 0
    That is an oversimplification.

    Just because someone wants to have a presence on the web doesn't mean they should have to give away how they present themselves.

  23. Re:I want TiVo's software on FCC Extends Set-Top Box Deadline · · Score: 0

    MythTV + IR blaster = problem solved.

  24. Re:Yahoo and Firefox compatibility on Yahoo Pledges Full Firefox Support · · Score: 0

    That should read "in your language/tool of preference."

  25. Re:Yahoo and Firefox compatibility on Yahoo Pledges Full Firefox Support · · Score: 0
    I like Java, and I like games. But, why should anyone write their games in your ?

    I too wish all web sites could conform to a standard of some sort, but I don't see how that means games should do the same.
