  1. Re:Gal Civ 2 perchance?! on Leaning Tower of Pisa Secure For 300 More Years · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's the problem with slashdot moderation. You can clearly see the violence inherent in the system.

  2. Repurpose on VoIP As a Solution To Rural Broadband · · Score: 1

    Aww, "repurpose." That's a shame.
    I would've had a great time explaining "IPoVoIP" to my relatives.

  3. Re:Yottabyte Fhtagn on A Yottabyte of Storage Per Year by 2013 · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... and everybody say... "Yotta!"

  4. Re:Satan, Britney Spears on Satan, Britney Spears Top Paris Hilton In OSS References · · Score: 1

    Don't clean up yet, we still care about one of those pointers!

  5. Re:Seen this long ago for Mac OS X on Homer Simpson Drawn With Web 2.0-Style ASCII Art · · Score: 1

    A well-generated source, I think, could make processing without rendering(at least to some degree) difficult. But even if that's true, rendering the CSS is certainly possible (the browser can do it, after all). This would also mean that for a given browser, the CSS must be appropriately rendered to be a usable captcha on that browser. I don't know how hard THAT is, but judging from some of the other comments, that's not going quite 100% for Homer.

  6. Re:He does what with his girlfriend ? on Usability Testing Hardy Heron With a Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    Even fscking can be better with a nice visual interface.

  7. Re:But.... on Senate Proposal To Clarify 'State Secrets' Doctrine · · Score: 1

    Won't somebody think of the Khildren!?

  8. Re:That's exactly what a selfish driver would say. on New Service Maps Speed Traps By Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A gold star may not count for much, but the insurance discount sure does.

  9. BUNNIES SCIENTIFIC FACTS on Daily Caffeine Protects Your Brain · · Score: 2, Funny

    *looks at coffee cup*

    ...

    "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

    (Bunnies can't do scientific research)

    (but - THEY - CAN - DANCE)

  10. Re:They don't complain on A New Tool From Google Worries Brand-Name Sites · · Score: 2, Informative

    Far as I can tell, there's no difference. In fact, when you use this thing, that's exactly what you get -- the search results page even shows that it's the result of a site: search in the text box.

    All they've done is put a little GUI front on it. You're still clearly within the realm of google search results. Really, I don't think I'd ever use this feature much. If I'm searching a particular domain it's still easier (to me) to just type site:url and do one query.

    Pi is ... ... ... ... 1.

    In base Pi, I'M FINE.

  12. RFC 1149A on The Cuban Memory Stick Underground · · Score: 1

    I'm considering implementing this standard using hogs instead of pigeons. My first planned transmission will be a copy of Duke Nukem Forever.

    Imagine two Beetles in the sky... you could play Punch Buggy anywhere!

  14. Re:Slashdot on Gaffes That Keep IT Geeks From the Boardroom · · Score: 1

    We ask the non geeks to avoid downloading bonzai buddy and anything similar, they ask us to match our belt to our shoes. How hard can it be for everyone to just follow these small pieces of advice?

    I don't know, but I'm holding up my end of the deal, and it's not making the purple monkeys go away.

  15. Re:they should have just adopted the os-tans on Microsoft's "Source Fource" Action Figures · · Score: 1

    The product images that Microsoft's marketers want to push are simply too different from that of the OS-tans:

    • Me crashes and freezes often
    • 2000 is still hot if 'streamlined and stable' is what you're into
    • XP eats a ton of memory for nothing, and has large boobs
  16. Robot 'plays back' dreams on Robot Interprets, Plays Back Dreams · · Score: 3, Funny

    In a lesser-published trial, the robot was recorded fishing out a credit card, leaving the lab, and running off to the mall to buy a pair of Lightspeed Briefs.

    Most good skins are ones where you can tell one side from the other.

  19. man pages on Hostile ta Vista, Baby · · Score: 1

    I've been a happy user of various linux/unix machines for years, but out of what gripes I do have with them, the biggest is the varying quality of man pages. Some are great, but too many important commands are sticking end-user-unfriendly details up at the front -- under-the-hood workings, programmerspeak, or excessively technical/verbose summaries. These are important details, yes, but I rarely need to know any of them when first learning how to use the thing.

    The front sections of a man page should contain no more than "what is it," "what's it for," and "how to use it." Examples are especially helpful, but far too uncommon. Details about operator precedence or which argument the program feels is the beginning of your search expression can wait till after you've explained how to use it to find a file.

  20. :E on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Puts a bit of a painful spin on "getting boned."

  21. In other news on China Vows to Stop the Rain · · Score: 1

    Bush threatened China with force in an emergency press conference on Thursday, demanding the extradition of terrorist leader Cobra Commander.

    If you can't have "Thunderstruck," you might as well jump. Go ahead, jump.

  23. Re:Gentlemen, start your spambots on Yahoo CAPTCHA Hacked · · Score: 1

    Who knew that the desire of a horny teen to see pixellated boobs would lead to history research? Especially over such prominent historical subjects like Annette Funicello, Hugh Hefner, and nehru jackets.
  24. [ 9:25 PM, District Court No. 2 ] on Subpoena Sought For Browsed News Articles · · Score: 1

    "Mr. Wright. Though the court's patience is wearing thin and I see no further need to examine this witness... I will allow you this one last chance to prove his guilt. Show me a piece of evidence that provides the identities of all the people who accessed this defamatory online content."
