  1. Linux newbie on Boot Linux In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    I never used Linux before let alone the command line interface, so what's the first thing I typed? "penis"... because I can! After seeing the error message, I typed "it". "sh: it: not found" -- please tell me I'm not the only juvenile poster on this website.

  2. Re:I think I'll start keeping a frypan in my backp on Boost a Weak 3G Modem Signal, With a Saucepan · · Score: 1

    Ford wrench, teflon tape.

    And to the smart asses who say "How do you kill the man when you have no ammo", think outside the [orange] box: crowbars.

  4. Re:That's good... on 100x Denser Chips Possible With Plasmonic Nanolithography · · Score: 1

    In 5 to 10 years [ref. user wjh31], scientists will eventually combines the advantages of today's chips with Chex, which benefit from breaking less easily and becoming soggy less often.

  6. Re:Can we build more nuclear reactors now? on 550 Metric Tons of Uranium Removed From Iraq · · Score: 1

    More reactors? Excellent!

  7. Re:The NSA and FBI are both hiring in the Tech are on Feds Have a High-Speed Backdoor Into Wireless Carrier · · Score: 1

    Shouting her name from the basement constantly until she responds probably won't help, either. You should consider getting off the couch and asking her in person. Eye contact will help greatly.

  8. Re:A slogan on Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Try powering a place like Las Vegas with tidal and wave, or New York City with wind and solar energy. In some cases, nuclear is the best, most cost-effective choice.

  9. Re:Well duh on Court Strikes Down Age Verification For Adult Sites · · Score: 1

    this is Slashdot; why did you include the word "inserting"?

  10. Re:Obligatory (I still can't believe I'm doing thi on SwarmOS Demonstrated at Idea Festival · · Score: 2, Funny

    I feel a beowulf cluster joke coming on...

  11. Re:Or maybe... on Interstellar Dust Could Be "Alive" · · Score: 1

    or maybe our universe is a big bag of marbles?

  12. Re:But on Anti-Bacterial Soap No Better Than Plain Soap · · Score: 2, Funny

    I beg to differ.

    When you have two other room mates and the three of you are in the room, back out, 15 minutes to get ready in the morning, sweating in the California sun, and hydrating all day, then I'd eat off of my keyboard any time! If only you could see the stuff we eat -- Hot Pockets aren't the worst of it!

  13. Re:Power on New Chip-cooling Technology · · Score: 1

    Or worse yet, dental coverage! I mean, think about it. When was the last time you heard about particulate matter getting routine checkups? The plaque buildup, gingivitis, stained teeth... let's just hope they're not smokers!

  14. Re:master chief makes your head like a hole on Halo 3 Preorders Top 1 Million, Marketing Begins · · Score: 1

    wow, and I thought the incessant 13-year old Halo 2 players made the world's dumbest comments. Congratulations, Sir!

  15. Isn't it also a possibility... on The Fermi Paradox is Back · · Score: 1

    Isn't it also a possibility that we have seen planets with intelligent life on it but not the intelligent life itself? Imagine you're on some distant star looking through a telescope at Earth. First you hit the oceans and notice it's everywhere, so you try land. Wow! The Sahara desert is next. Then you pick another random location, and you find yourself in Siberia. And then other random locations you choose to check out may include the Arctic, Antartica, the Himalayas, Nunavut... the list could go on.

    So think about it. Maybe the various "floating masses" (to cover everything) we have seen may actually have life. We're just looking in the wrong spots.

  16. Re:Huh. Better get to work! on New Theory Explains Periodic Mass Extinctions · · Score: 1

    sure, this may be 7 million years from now, but do you think it has already started to affect the bees? Just a curious question; I'm pretty clueless to the bee mystery.

  17. Re:It's taken four years on 2008 - Year of Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    I really am sort of new here, and I think that joke was crappy. I can only imagine how you guys feel after 4 years!

  18. Re:This bit is always amusing... on RIAA Forces YouTube to Remove Free Guitar Lessons · · Score: 1

    what are you talking about? Consumers LOVE buying new albums with the same old material on it. It's like reliving the past, man!

  19. Re:It's all over, though, as soon as someone... on The Mainframe Still Lives! · · Score: 1

    I tried to fit a Miss America joke in there, but as you can see, I couldn't

    ...although admittedly, seeing her hit by an RPG -- whether it's an explosive or mainframe -- would be pretty awesome.

  20. Re:DNF!! on Ocarina of Time — Best Game Ever? · · Score: 2, Funny

    can we please skip Florida's votes on this one?

  21. Re:Amazingly on Autism Reversed in Mice at MIT Lab · · Score: 1

    One of the mice was recently discovered missing, but he did leave a letter behind. Here's a snippet of that letter:

    Our relationship is becoming increasingly strained. I resent Nemur's constant references to me as a laboratory specimen. He makes me feel that before the experiment was not really a [mouse].

    (for those who don't get the joke, read Flowers for Algernon; and yes, it relates to the article)

  22. Re:missed the best part... on Boeing's New 787 Wings — Amazingly Flexible · · Score: 1

    It's not for every customer. Studies show the pro-organic folks get a kick out of it, though.

  23. Re:It is not too loud! on Why Music Really Is Getting Louder · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This doesn't directly relate to the topic but is useful information.

    I learned recently in a class that at 90dB, it will take about 8 hours for a person's hearing to degrade; every increase of 5dB will cut that time in half, so 95dB will degrade after 4 hours, 100dB degrades the hearing after 2 hours, and so forth. And here is something to compare: average speech is 60dB, car horns 15 feet away are around 100dB, and watching fireworks is 120dB.

  24. OMG SILVERLIGHT on Microsoft Using .MS TLD · · Score: 1

    this is very off-topic, but I wanted to bring it up anyway. for those of you who actually tried getting Popfly, did any of you click the Whack-a-mole link? It leads directly to a web page requiring you to install Silverlight (if you haven't done so already). And to bite MS in the butt, the install page says if you have Firefox or Safari to restart the browser, but if you go to the System Requirements page, only the IE and Firefox browsers are mentioned. way to go, Microsoft. as for the actual topic, why does it matter if Microsoft registered its project's site under a Caribbean island's domain? oops, did I just restate the summary in a bland paraphrase? my bad.

  25. I've had it all wrong on Has Cosmology Been Solved? · · Score: 1

    wow, I've been reading all of these posts wondering how God and religion relate to cosmotology. My bad!
