  1. sighs louder on Why the Semantic Web Will Fail · · Score: 1

    * groan *

    Who didn't see that coming?

  2. Re:Aflack, err Affleck on NASA Can't Pay for Killer Asteroid Hunt · · Score: 1

    Anything is better than Meteor with Sean Connery. The not-so-special FX speak for themselves.

  3. Re:"Space" rocket? on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    Russia and Iran are allies. If we go to war with the latter, we may end up fighting the former. And somehow I fear Russia's tangible nukes moreso than I do Iran's fabled ones.

  4. No, pal you're wrong on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    No pictures of the reported launch have been shown on Iranian state TV, and no Western countries have confirmed tracking any such test-firing.

    funny how the BBC managed to acquire images, then. We saw the launch right here in the UK. I guess you yanks don't have us free a media as we do.

  5. And ... on SETI Finally Finds Something · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... will no one think of the children?

    Imagine the danger they must be in from these Beowolves!

  6. Choke the chicken on Bird Flu Pandemic Could Choke the Net · · Score: 1

    I guess slashdotters worrying about bird flu choking the Net is better than slashdotters choking the chicken over birds on the Net.

  7. Actually ... on DNA to Test Theory of Roman Village in China · · Score: 1

    C'mon, everyone knows spaghetti grows on trees.

  8. Re:Protect your information on Study Finds IE7 + EV SSL Won't Stop Phishing · · Score: 1

    I'll give you a bar of chocolate for your password?

  9. Part of the problem on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 1

    If people weren't flying to far away destinations just to slide down a hillside, then perhaps there might still be snow on those hills. After all, the emissions from airlines are part of the cause of Global Warming, are they not?

  10. Chaos on 2006 Was the Warmest Year Ever · · Score: 1

    Those are interesting charts. But what part has say El Nino played in them, given that it has an effect on global weather patterns not just those localised to the Eastern Pacific, especially since it's not caused by global warming. What's their correlation?

  11. Re:Clotthes will call for help in a health emergen on Military Tech for Daily Life · · Score: 1

    So, mugging is a valid career path in the states, is it. Wow. What kind of pension plan comes with that?

  12. The mind 'goggles' ... on Military Tech for Daily Life · · Score: 1

    I dread to think of how many slashdotters have their own nightvision goggles and what they may really be used for.

  13. Republican Party Reptiles on Two-headed Reptile Fossil Found in China · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Are these related to Republicans - after all, those reptiles have already got two faces.

  14. Sherlock would be so proud of him on Bruce Sterling's Final Prediction · · Score: 1

    my last little act of prediction in this space: I don't have a poll or a single shred of evidence to back it up, but I believe more good things are in store, and some are bound to come from the tangled, ubiquitous, personal, and possibly unpredictable Net

    So he predicts the internet is basically unpredictable. Not exactly earth shattering news, is it. That's something most normal people have known for quite some time.

    The only thing that's remained constant for the past 10 years of the Net, is the ubiquity of pr0n. Homepages have become blogs, search engines have become advertising media. Not much else has stayed the same, although there is prolly plenty of amateur crap still kicking about.

    Still at least he didn't mention Web 2.0 or heaven forbid Web 3.0.

  15. Bullsh!t bingo ... on Bruce Sterling's Final Prediction · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    HOUSE!

  16. Oh for heaven's sake ... on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 1

    ... won't someone think of the frikkin' sharks? How are we meant to fix them to our cars without upsetting those pesky treehuggers.

  17. Polonium Balloneyum on Polonium-210 Available Through Mail Order · · Score: 1

    Great, so now we can all expect spam asking us if we want Pol0n!um.

    Pol0n!um 210 is the new pot3nt p0ison that every spy is talking about. Here goes some reasons to choose Pol0n!um 210:

    1. You can mix a1cohol drinks with this p0ison with many undesired effects.

    2. Pol0n!um does make them feel dizzy and make vision blurred, so they can't easily drive a car or operate heavy machinery.

    3. Pol0n!um works much slower than any known ED p0ison solution. ttt enters the bloodstream directly instead of going through the stomach, thus they need only 15 days till they feel the effect.

  18. How Uncanny on World's Largest Supercooled Magnet Activated · · Score: 1, Redundant

    This morning I sensed a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of floppy disks cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced!

  19. Jackson on Tolkien Enterprises To Film Hobbit With Jackson? · · Score: 1

    ... as in Michael Jackson.

    What part is he gonna play? I didn't think Hobbits were his thing. :erm:

  20. because on Blind Mice See Again After Cell Transplants · · Score: 1

    ... mice rule the world, gawddamit!

  21. Subject dependent surely? on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 2, Funny

    I bet the some people are happy to wait longer than 4 seconds for his favourite pr0n to download. This is slashdot after all.

  22. Google's goals ... on Google's Internal Company Goals · · Score: 1

    ... now come with Slightly Less Evil (TM) ...







    *ducks (chair)*

  23. d1a2ep@m for less on Spammers Fined A$5.5 million · · Score: 1

    I bet that makes them depressed.

    Perhaps they should seek out some Net-based therapy.

    Maybe they need to subscribe to mailing lists for d1a2ep@m.

  24. Where's Steve Ballmer when you need 'im? on FCC Commissioner Stumps For Media Diversity · · Score: 1

    Why is it whenever I read the word "chair" on Slashdot I immediately think of a certain Mircosoft employee??

  25. Do I need to upgrade to .. on Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Firefox 2 to be able to run Dotcom 2?
