  1. Barbie Dolls on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In other news Barbie Dolls are being recalled and given the Mature rating because mods exist that allow Barbie to go au naturel.

  2. The Only Windows Software you Need... on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 3, Funny

    AVG, Zone Alarm, AD-Aware and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and you should be set.

  3. Bad Caps Abound on Early Adopters Experiencing More Bugs? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yeah, Philips is known for having products with bad caps. I've had a couple Philips DVD players stop working for this very reason. There are whole forums devoted to the issue, you think they would have found a new supplier of low ESR caps by now. In any case no more Philips for me.

  4. Re:False Positives on DoJ Following Porn Blocker Advances? · · Score: 1
    maybe pictures of animals (similar color tones)
    Yeah, NAKED animals. Do YOU want naked alpacas exposing themselves to YOUR children. I think not.
  5. Re:Bye bye karma on Google Transit Now In Beta · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I guess the difference is that the Slashdot version wasn't written by a 13 year old and didn't have the title, "L0LERSKATES!!1look At what I found on teh intarwEb, its GOOGLE transpertation. YA RLY." Digg makes my head hurt.

  6. Let's see... on Company Solicits Feedback on Next-Gen Recorder · · Score: 2, Funny

    I would like it to have a 6.8GHz processor with 1TB non-volatile Quantum-Optical RAM and a 2TB solid state AtomChip® optoelectronics drive. Oh and it should cost less than $149.99 and include a cool leather case.

  7. Come up with some real reasons... on Stopping Linux Desktop Adoption Sabotage · · Score: 2, Insightful
    So Linux desktop computers cost more than Microsoft Windows PCs do, and it's hard to find devices and drivers for Linux.
    Linux works better with most hardware out of the box in my experience. Windows XP won't even recognize my SATA controller, and most of the other drivers don't work very well until I update them.

    Oh, and buy a system without ANY operating system, if it still is costing you more find someone with a 3 digit IQ to find a cheaper computer for you. Besides this is mostly Microsoft's fault because they won't give special discounts to dealers that sell computers with no OS/Linux.

    The guy running SuSE 9.3 sounded like he tried Linux for a grand total of 10 minutes, of course you aren't going to know how everything works in that time frame. Sheesh.
  8. Still no CMYK huh? on First Look at GIMP 2.4 · · Score: 4, Funny

    So when can I edit CMYK screenshots of Duke Nukem Forever in GIMP?

  9. Kept asking for money on Mystery Australian Big Cat Shot · · Score: 0

    Stupid cat wanted to borrow tree fidy, so I shot it.

  10. Not so good for wireless though... on 5 km Range Commercial Wi-Fi Available · · Score: 0

    I'm sure it's capable of large data transfer rates, but I bet the latency is terrible.

  11. I'm no EE, but... on New Battery Technology Powers For 12 Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    What I want to see are giant Telsa coils at airports, restaurants, etc. that shoot bolts of electricity out and recharge people's pacemakers. What could possibly go wrong?

  12. Re:A beer gadget! on Intelligent Coasters Keep Beer Mugs Full · · Score: 5, Funny
    Tomorrows news...
    CNN.com is reporting that two German students have invented a beer stool, or chair, that uses sensor chips to determine when the occupant it supports has fallen off and then radios for a cab.
  13. Bathroom Ape? on Wild Gorillas Impress With Their Tools · · Score: 0

    So how long until I can expect a bathroom Gorilla?

  14. Re:Or you could just go here on Tim O'Reilly on the Google Library Project · · Score: 0

    There are WAY more books on Safari than that page has. People might as well go to site you linked to though because the people at Safari treat customers like criminals anyway.

  15. Re:during sex? on The Tongue Twisting Tooth Microphone · · Score: 1, Funny
    So what happens with this little device during various sex acts?
    What, are you afraid of feedback? I can just imagine it, the lights are down low, the mood is just right, your lips touch, then... WWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
  16. It's a trap! on Microsoft And JBoss Collaborate On Server Software · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So...embrace, extend, and DESTROY!

  17. Cubicle Defense Mechanism on The Quintessential Sentry Gun · · Score: 5, Funny

    I doubt there is a single person here who didn't think, "hmmm I could use one of these in my cubicle."

  18. Re:That's nothing on Creating Artificial Proteins · · Score: 0
    I've been creating proteins by hand since I was 12!
    You're a soybean farmer?
  19. No Always the Case on Preference Engines Side-Effects in Online Retail · · Score: 1, Informative

    I use AmaroK with the Last.fm Audioscrobbler plugin turned on, when I listen to a track it submits it to a database and compares that database to other user's database. It suggests a pretty diverse selection of music, everything from Iron Maiden to :Wumpscut:. So I would hardly say that ALL preference engines create a homogeneous selection, just the bad ones.

  20. Innuendo on Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft ... Deep Throat ... customer pleasing
    Is this what it has to "come" to for Microsoft?

  21. Re:Look it up on Intelligence in the Internet Age · · Score: 0

    So according to Einstein, in the future we will all be a bunch of dumb terminals with access to a central server, sort of like the Borg. Hmmm...

  22. Re:If an astronaut on a space elevator farts... on Space Elevator Gets FAA Clearance · · Score: 0

    I don't know, but in space no one can hear you fart.

  23. Re:Just what the world needs... on Underhanded C Contest announces winners · · Score: 0

    People shouldn't stay completely ignorant of how malicious code works, to prevent this kind of thing you need to know what to look out for.

  24. Re:A REAL Electrical Engineer on Statically Charged Man Ignites Office · · Score: 1

    Well I guess I would like to think that he is a living Tesla Coil.

  25. A REAL Electrical Engineer on Statically Charged Man Ignites Office · · Score: 3, Funny

    This guy could get a pretty good job as a generator in New Orleans. I don't want to know where they put the plugs though.
