  1. The Downside... on Judge Rules in Favor of Websurfing at Work · · Score: 5, Funny

    Unfortunately, the only people who will read this article are those who are surfing the web at work. The people too afraid to surf the web will never hear the liberating news.

  2. Not to mention on Microsoft Loses $126 Per Unit on XBox 360 · · Score: 1

    The whole thing is redundant... From the little math I know, the "360" part should bring it right back around to where XBox started from.

  3. Re:Have you tried.. on Xbox 360 Very Unstable · · Score: 1

    You need to boil it for 40 seconds at a higher altitude.

  4. Good First Step on IBM Slows the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    Now if only they could slow their stockholder's losses, they'd be in business.

  5. Hmm... on China To Develop Its Own DVD Format · · Score: 4, Funny
    "the new standard will be based on but incompatible with HD DVD"

    Then where will Americans get their $2 bootleg DVDs?

  6. The IKEA of database? on MySQL To Be Ikea Of The Database Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    UPDETE TEBLE SET Cuoontry = 'Sveden' VHERE Neme-a = 'Svedeesh Cheff';

  7. Open source education? on Texas Support for Open Source Technology Education · · Score: 2, Funny
    If the kids know what's good for them, they'll push to make all education open source.

    Especially the answer sheet to tests.

  8. Great! on Central Park Media Lets Fans Cast "Outlanders" · · Score: 1

    Not sure why South Park is casting, but I'm thinking: Tom Hanks as Stan Ben Stiller as Kyle Jack Black as Cartman Billy Bob Thornton as Kenny

  9. Anybody notice... on The Company Everyone Loves To Hate · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I'm actually partial to MS, so I hope this doesn't get mistaken for flamebait.

    But it's pretty tough to avoid the obvious comparison between Microsoft and the Hydra. Think Google & Co. will deal Microsoft a fatal blow? Guess again! It just pops back with three heads instead of one.

  10. Jargon on Computer Jargon Too Difficult for Office Workers · · Score: 1

    It's so true... I asked Slashdot readers what a GB and an MB were, and they told me "STFU^H^H^H^H RTFA, N00B."

  11. Another year older... on Microsoft Fights the Flab as it Turns 30 · · Score: 5, Funny

    When Microsoft hits its midlife crisis, what's it going to do? Patent the Porsche?

  12. No choice on Plotting the Revolution's Arc · · Score: 1
    However it's covered, we have to read about this on internet or hear about it on the radio.

    The Revolution will not be televised.

  13. Out with the old... on US Companies Sponsor Pro Gamers · · Score: 1

    No more "On Base Percentage"... the only important stat is "All Your Base Percentage"

  14. It's about to hit the mainstream? on Linux Five Years Away From Mainstream · · Score: 3, Funny


    Mainstream? Well, I was into Linux before it was cool. I totally dig their older stuff so much better... then they sold out to the man
    </indierock>

  15. Further... on Cisco Flaw Opens Routers to Attack · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A Crisco flaw has left the routers open to deep pan frying.

  16. Color on Das Keyboard: Hit Any Key · · Score: 0

    Only available in black? What is this, the Model T?

  17. Political intrigue? on Iraq TLD In Legal Limbo · · Score: 0
    I don't buy that the computer people are privy to inside political gossip. The computer people are always the last to know... even after the janitors.

    The "insider information" is probably that U.S. troops are planning some kind of an invasion, and even that is probably referencing Bush I.

  18. Only in emergencies? on Communications Infrastructure No Match for Katrina · · Score: 0

    With my cell phone, I can hardly make contact under normal circumstances. %&#* T-Mobile.

  19. Makes Sense on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 4, Funny

    InsanityTM is the only way to describe their business plan over the past ten years, be it the Donkey Congas, the Mario Party series, or the N64 game system.

  20. Not my experience on Five Reasons Not to Use Linux · · Score: 1
    In my experience using Linux:
    1. It's been a pain to install
    2. Took me hours to figure out how to watch Homestar Runner
    3. Gotten me trapped in dependency hell every time I try to install something.
    4. Garbled any document I ever tried to send to people
    5. Formatted my iPod

    I like Linux plenty, but I don't think it's quite there yet.

  21. Meanwhile... on iTunes Might Lose Labels · · Score: 1

    Buying a cell phone ringtone version of the same song will cost $3.99

  22. Re:Timing on One Hundred Years of E=MC2 · · Score: 1
    49 days apart isn't much of a coincidence. More like 1:7 odds, really.

    But for the years to both be ending zero (60, 100) is another 1:9...

    Factor in the odds that I'm still going to care after I submit this, and it's like my winning lottery ticket got struck by lightning.

  23. Intel: The Next Generation on Speculations Intel's Next Generation · · Score: 5, Funny

    Probably will feature an android, a Klingon, and a balding captain.

  24. That's not very many. on Google Files to Sell 14.2 Million More Shares · · Score: 1

    By my calculations, this is only 1.4 x 10 ^(-93) of a googol.

  25. Re:Timing on One Hundred Years of E=MC2 · · Score: 1
    You say that as if Einstein had something to do with it.

    Yo dudes... back off

    I wasn't accusing Einstein of anything, I just thought it was an amusing coincidence that these two related anniversaries, falling within mere days of each other, reflect on either the greatest or worst tendencies of mankind.
