  1. Re:What a Game! on US Videogame Sales Have Biggest Drop In 9 Years · · Score: 1

    I second this.

  2. Re:My first real world experience on Smart Self-Service Scales · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know, when you walk into the grocery store the next time, a Bonzi Grocery Buddy will be talking to you from your shopping cart. "Would you like more nectarines? Looks like you ate 3 of them. Or how about some pears this time?"

  3. Re:They're also very quiet on Western Digital's "Green" Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    They run very quiet indeed. I was very impressed with the WD1000FYPS RE2 drive that we got in at work. I couldn't even tell it was running. Even when touching the drive, it's hard to tell. According to the website, that drive in particular uses technology to reduce problems caused by system vibration. Not to mention it long-formatted 1T in a 1-2 minutes or so.

  4. Are they... on CERN Scientists Looking for the Force · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...hacking the Higgs Boson? Too much of a stretch?

  5. Re:Better than that, what they need on NASA Wants Fast Moonbuggies and Solid Lunar Lander · · Score: 1

    Is an automated drilling/mining/processing plant. Don't you mean, cheese processing plant? ;)
  6. Re:A boot sector virus? In my PC? on Boot Record Rootkit Threatens Vista, XP, NT · · Score: 4, Funny

    512 bytes should be enough for any virus.

  7. Re:More than just ink... on HP & Staples Collude On $8,000/Gallon Ink? · · Score: 1

    Most do not come with the cable. Sometimes the Multifunction Machines do. I recently delivered a Lexmark MFC that came with one.

    A lot of people come into the store buying USB Cables because they find out their printer didn't come with one.

  8. Re:How many versions will we see of this film? on Jackson Slated to Make Hobbit Movie, Sequel · · Score: 1

    The Hobbit is a Replicant Edition?

  9. Re:Boo Vista, A common theme for 2007? on Vista Named Year's Most Disappointing Product · · Score: 1

    Vista is horrible!

    -Vista, helping the little guys gain cred on Slashdot since 2007!

  10. Re:Incorrect repository URL? on Google's Android Cellphone SDK Released · · Score: 1

    "What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)"

  11. Re:Bad summary. Uses incorrect units. on Microsoft Plans $500 Million Chicago Data Center · · Score: 2, Funny

    And don't forget the measurement of how many Mp3's the data center can store.

  12. Re:Not just what, but when? on Time Dimension To Become Space-like · · Score: 1

    So is "this" the Ultimate question?

    This? 42.

    Hmm...

  13. They Live on Realtime ASCII Goggles · · Score: 1

    I see Aliens in ASCII!

  14. Re:This is a trend on Comcast Cuts Off Users Who Exceed Secret Limit · · Score: 1

    I've had to call Sprint about once or twice a month. So far they haven't canceled me. I guess I have to try harder. :)

  15. Re:I wonder ... on How Classsmate PC Stacks Up Against OLPC · · Score: 1

    I agree with you about them competing against a charity. Next thing you know, MS will want to sue OLPC for some reason. It's like Wendy's competing w/ a soup kitchen.

  16. Re:Strange but true on Hybrid Cars to Get New Mileage Ratings · · Score: 1

    Whoo! Chevy Sprint! I had one in Blue. It's a handy little car. Suzuki made the engine I believe.

  17. Re:I'd call that a feature on Hardware Implants Mimic Brain Cells · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I had thought it could be used in a positive manner also. It's a bitter sweet thing, perhaps.

  18. Vista Implant? on Hardware Implants Mimic Brain Cells · · Score: 1

    You have just been given a memory. Cancel or Allow?

  19. Dell Distro on Shuttleworth Tells Linux Users to Stop Being So Fussy For OEMs · · Score: 1

    Maybe Dell just needs to make it's own distro or Linux. They could call it, Dellinux, or Dellux... or something...

  20. Re:I live in Europe on Wednesday Is Pi Day · · Score: 1

    Sweet! My birthday was also Pi Day and I didn't even know it!

  21. 96 Bytes on DIY Laptop · · Score: 1

    96 bytes should be enough for anybody!

  22. Clippy - Lite Bright on The Death of Clippy · · Score: 1
  23. Re:They want a hit? I'll give them a freebie. on The Return of Toys · · Score: 1

    That would be sweet. Taking the rc plane and a laptop out to a park, and having it record all it sees would be great.

  24. And they called the computing grids... on World's Largest Supercooled Magnet Activated · · Score: 1

    ...Deep Thought

  25. Re:Drivers on NASA Testing Linux-Based Exploration Robots · · Score: 1

    They're robots! They should be able to drive themselves! Oh wait... ;)
