  1. Re:What is this? on Linux 2.6.22 Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    I honestly can say I have never seen the Bodyguard (or Titanic). I hardly ever have time to watch movies at the cinema and by the time they get to video I just can not bring myself to listen to the soundtrack one more time...

  2. Re:What is this? on Linux 2.6.22 Kernel Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    I only just noticed that it was Whiney. I always read Whitney. I should have realized - I mean girls on slashdot, what next?

    Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

  3. Re:Not the first time. on Some 7-11s Become Kwik-E-Marts · · Score: 3, Informative

    And the kegs of McDuff are quite inexpensive... The brewery was named after the owner whos last name was Duff. I think it was around before the Simpsons but the guy couldn't be bothered fighting with Fox. Fox paid for the rebranding though.

  4. Emacs is a bug? on Vista Security Claims Debunked · · Score: 2, Funny

    A bug in Firefox (not to mention emacs), counts as a flaw for Linux...
    I like text editor wars as much as the next guy, but calling emacs a bug...
  5. Sudown on Pimp Your XP · · Score: 1

    Isn't that the game with numbers in rows and columns?

  6. Another way to save the planet... on Google Spends Money to Jump-Start Hybrid Car Development · · Score: 5, Funny

    I recommend you get a license to sell real estate

  7. Re:Noticeably Absent... on Best Places To Work In IT · · Score: 1

    Is this just because they were the obvious winner... just like emacs vs vi in the best flamewar poll.

  8. New model speakers on Why Music Really Is Getting Louder · · Score: 4, Funny

    The problem is that todays speakers go up to eleven. That one louder...

  9. Problem on New "Terminator" Trilogy Planned · · Score: 4, Funny

    Anchors drag things down, or at least keep them where they are. I think they need a better analogy. Perhaps something to do with cars...

  10. Check out the sample pages on Earth's Species To Be Cataloged On the Web · · Score: 4, Informative

    I had a look at a couple of the page mock-ups on the site. The information seems organized in a much better way than on the Wiki-species page. If the actual site turns out to be as good as the examples I will use it frequently.

  11. Site Extinction on Earth's Species To Be Cataloged On the Web · · Score: 1, Insightful

    With that massive jpg on the site, it won't be long until the site becomes extinct.

  12. Re:fix the article title, then on You Can Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source · · Score: 5, Funny

    People who just scan titles, esp on RSS, are going to think this is a dupe.

    I almost did. But then I remembered that Slashdot has editors to prevents such horrible things as dupes and that this must have been a legitimate follow-up to the previous article.
  13. Re:Good to know on No Windows (Officially) On OLPC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is interesting to see that choice is good, unless someone may have the choice to install software from Microsoft. I know when I get a new computer, I like having the choice to run windows.

    Given who the laptops are going to, my guess is that Microsoft would have to give away any version of windows that actually ran on the computer. It is not as if the owners a going to have spare money lying around to buy a license.

  14. Re:Gene sequence in hex is... on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 1

    Well, we know there must be two variants of the gene, one for long life and one not. We just need to find some "next-key" HD-DVDs to find the other the variant...

  15. Gene sequence in hex is... on Longevity Gene Found · · Score: 5, Funny

    09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

    (That is going to hurt my karma but I am still no bored of that joke...)

    (OK, maybe a little over it)

  16. Re:I think I have a solution... on Australian Teachers Try To Shut Down Website · · Score: 1

    In hex you say...

  17. Re:So which is it? on Ext3cow Versioning File System Released For 2.6 · · Score: 4, Informative

    From the example screenshot it appears it is a file system. You take a snapshot of your system at some point in time and it stores this data even when files change. Of course, with any file system it is important to have functionality that allows you to view the files as well...

  18. Moo? on Ext3cow Versioning File System Released For 2.6 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  19. Whats wrong? on Must-Have Extensions for Thunderbird 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I use the webmail extension to check my hotmail account. The only time I have had problems in the last year was when hotmails interface changed but that was fixed in a day.

  20. Re:6 Gig? on 6G iPod & Apple's Future · · Score: 1

    I though they must mean the nano but there is already bigger ones out there... I really had no idea there had been that many iPod generations. Those things breed like rabbits!

  21. FIRST? on HS Students Compete In FIRST Robotics Competition · · Score: 2

    I am pretty sure I have heard of previous robotics competitions... so FIRST much be an acronym and not capitalized for emphasis. Anyone know what it stands for?

  22. I got bored with TFA... on Principal Cancels Classes, Sues Over MySpace Prank · · Score: 2

    Can someone tell me if this is really news from 2005... or has something important actually happened?

  23. Missing package on Debian 4.0 'Etch' Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Doesn't even include firefox...

  24. Windows? on US Leads the World In Malware Creation · · Score: 3, Funny

    We all know that Microsoft makes the most common malware known to computing. There was never really any competition to stop the USA getting the title.

  25. I have an idea on A Mozilla Desktop Environment? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why don't they just pool their web browser, e-mail client and calender application into one big package. That would be a great start...
