  1. Kudos on Chimps Belong in Human Genus? · · Score: 1

    I had to scroll halfway down the first page before I hit the first "homo" joke, and it wasn't even related to buttsex.

    Good work guys!

  2. Re:Are Slashdot trolls odd or what ? on The Story of the tech.net.ru Crackers · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, software cracks YOU!

  3. Re:Tetris' lingering side effects on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 3, Funny

    In Soviet Russia, Tetris plays YOU.

  4. Fun For A Lazy Sunday on How to Make a Starship Enterprise out of a 3.5" Floppy · · Score: 1

    These things actually fly pretty straight, if you throw 'em.

    These instructions could probably use improvement (for instance I was thinking snipping the neck where the saucer section attaches at the front might make it fit on better). Anyone feel like reworking the design a little, or providing more clarity?

    Also, if anyone has ideas as to how one would make a Bird of Prey from the same parts, that would be appreciated. :)

  5. Re:Be honest now... on How to Make a Starship Enterprise out of a 3.5" Floppy · · Score: 2, Funny

    As such, I am missing the little wing tips from the model

  6. whoops on Information Patents in the US and Europe · · Score: 1

    I read that as "Information Pants in the US and Europe"

    Pants! What is the fastest land-based animal?

    Argh, maybe I should go back to coffee...

  7. Upgrading Fun and Mozilla on Mozilla.org Launches Mozilla 1.3 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can someone tell me the best way to upgrade between the versions?

    I've been usin' and lovin' Moz for a long time now, but I'm always worried about going from one version to the next....can I just "cheat" and install overtop? Should I uninstall the old Moz first for the best stability? I tend to be anal in this area because I like my installs to be 'clean,' yet at the same time I'm lazy and want to do as little work as possible. :)

    What is the most I can "get away" with?

  8. Re:We Have This Energy, See... on NASA: Evidence Favors Infinitely Expanding Universe · · Score: 1

    "It's the weird colour scheme that freaks me. Every time I try to operate one of these weird black controls, labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let me know I've done it."

  9. Re:Secret Government Property???????? on The Search for Secret Shuttle Parts · · Score: 2, Funny

    See, this is where your thinking is wrong. In Nacogdoches, this would only guarantee that someone would try to use it.

  10. Re:Astrophotographers are persistent on Adapting a Webcam for Astrophotography · · Score: 2

    Is it possible to do this with a Connectix Color QuickCam? Or does it possess an infrared filter?

  11. Re:Scanning without damaging the book? on Just One Page a Day · · Score: 2

    The other poster's idea might be better here, I'm not familiar with those photocopiers, but I would think that one of the newer digital cameras (4 megapixels and up), accompanied with a macro lense would do the trick. You can get some pretty stunning detail out of the newer models, if you haven't seen them.

  12. Re:One thing to keep in mind: on Your Eyes Will Melt Out Of Your Head · · Score: 2

    Why does everyone assume it must be *one* of the above? How about ALL of them?

    Sitting in one spot will definitely fuck you up. We have predatory bodies, that need and were designed to be USED. Not exercising for years is like not using your car for years. Don't be surprised when it doesn't start, falls apart, and dies early.

    It's pretty much a known fact that a shitty CRT (with a low refresh rate -- first thing I do when I visit a client is bump the refresh rate to maximum, nothing will give you a headache faster than 60Hz) will cause headaches and eyestrain, and it is known that these two go hand-in-hand.

  13. This has already been done... on NASA Wasting Time and Money on Moon Landing Doubters · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...and rather well, I thought, by the guy who runs BadAstronomy.Com.

    Here is a direct link to the article where he does so, where he tears apart the horrible Fox TV special that was on in 2001.

  14. Good. on NASA Has Plans for 2nd Space Station at L1 · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's good to see the L1 (and L2!) buttons getting more use.

    Now if they could also implement R1 and R2.

  15. Whip It on Postmodern Computer Science · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Devo sucks!

    That would be how the rest of the English-speaking world spells apologize.

  17. Oh, the movie quotes to apply on HighWLAN · · Score: 2

    "When this baby hits 88 miles per hour...you're gonna see some serious shit."

    or

    "If we drop below 50mph the hub will explode!"

  18. duuh on Mac Users May Be Smarter · · Score: 3, Funny

    It seems a NetRatings Study concluded that those owning Macs tend to be more experienced with the internet, as well as educated better in general.

    Some of thems guys, they reads real good too.

  19. Can someone answer this for me? on Apollo 1 · · Score: 2

    I thought that breathing pure oxygen got you high, that it was like taking a drug. Why were they doing this then? Did they have some way of counteracting this? Or were they doing it because it would simulate the physical conditions of actually being in space?

  20. Re:Bill Re:Through the miracle of CGI . . . on Info on the LOTR:FOTR DVD · · Score: 2

    Bill the Pony was bought off of the shifty guy in Bree, the guy that they think freed all the ponies and horses from the stable.

  21. That's fine and all... on Neuronal Learning Observed · · Score: 1

    ...but how can I use this to learn Ju-Jitsu?

  22. Re:Very Nice on Fuel-Cell Backup Power Under Your Desk · · Score: 2

    That's not a fair comparison, since shuttle Challenger was liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen all in one neat package.

  23. Re:Car security! on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 2

    You didn't read the parent post to this. The guy is talking on one hand about how he loves the security of the new key-chips, yet he goes outside in his pajamas in the morning to start the car to warm it up before work while he gets ready. He's not using a remote starter of any sort. :)

  24. Re:other ignition technologies on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 2

    The problem with that, of course, is that drunk drivers tend to walk away from their accidents uninjured. Tensing up and restraining yourself causes you the most damage in an accident. Since they're blitzed out of their gourds, they're all nice and limber and don't even realize they've hit someone until way after the fact.

  25. Re:Sorry if you don't like the transcription. on Bruce Campbell Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Yes, thanks for doing that :)
