  1. Damages on AOL Digs Up Yard for Spam Gold · · Score: 5, Funny

    AOL will not offer to pay for damages caused. However they will give them a one time discount of 50% on an AOL Broadband Platinum account for the first 3 months (Subject to a 12 month contract, standard terms, conditions and fair usage policy apply)

  2. Nope on Backlash Against British Encryption Law · · Score: 1

    "You do not secure the liberty of our country and value of our democracy by undermining them, that's the road to hell."

    Nope its not the road to hell, its the road to becoming the 51st State. ;)

  3. Dabs.com on Excessive Tech Packaging? · · Score: 1

    1gb USB Memory stick. Physical size 2"x1/2". Box size 2'x1'x1/2". Seemed a bit excessive for something that now lives on my car keys.

  4. Re:That's a Lot of Cash on MMORPG Developers Warned of Security Risks · · Score: 1
  5. Green Ball on Robosapien V2 Review - with Video · · Score: 1

    So, does it detect that the ball is green and know to bowl it? If so would this work with other green things you gave it? I can see much potential for frog throwing fun.

  6. Ebay wont be an issue on Sony Plans Deposit Scheme for PS3 in UK? · · Score: 2, Funny

    They wont be able to resell the consoles on Ebay because at the time of purchase Sony will require a sample of your blood that will tie your PS3 to your genetic code, this does of course mean that you will be unable to lend your console to your friends as each time you play small hypodermics will come out of the joypad and sample your DNA to ensure you are the registered user of the console. No real change in Sony policy there though, because Sony has been bleeding gamers dry for the past 10 years ;)

  7. Heh on Talking Mirror, Pirate Skull Security System · · Score: 1

    Mirror mirror on the wall, whos the geekiest of them all?

  8. Big Whoop on Microsoft Hit With 280m Euro Fine · · Score: 1

    If you belive what they say in the newspapers Billy Gates makes $7 Million in the 8 hours he's asleep so it shouldn't take him to long to make this back. The phrase "drop in the ocean" springs to mind.

  9. Re:Question... on The Physics of Superman · · Score: 1

    Not only can they fly but they have laser vision and can bend steel bars in their beaks.

  10. Click. on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1

    I was trying to talk my mother through some operation on her computer over the phone ( I forget exactly what it was she was trying to do) I told her to click on "My Computer", she replied "How can I click on your computer? Your on the other end of the phone!".

  11. War Driving on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    Brings a whole new spin to War Driving when the network your looking for is a landmine network.

  12. Re:Let me line my car up to get a better photo.... on A Car Navigation System That Takes Pictures · · Score: 1

    Good idea, surely they could just add something to a GPS system where you take the photo with your phone and then bluetooth it to the system. Then the user could angle the photo exactly how they wanted. Probably work out cheaper to.

  13. Re:X-com, or UO on The Ten Greatest Years in Gaming · · Score: 1

    Yeah but how did you get around the fact that the screen scrolls too quickly when you reach the edge and try to look around the map? Made my replaying it a pain and in the end I gave up.

  14. New Slogan on The 10 Tech People Who Don't Matter · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot - News For Nerds Stuff That Doesn't Matter.

  15. Not really that secure on Biometric Payment Arrives in a Store Near You · · Score: 1

    If you think being able to use Gummi Bears to fool these scanners is bad then you should look at the scanners we have at my place of work. If you go upto the scanner and blow lightly on the finger plate then the system 9 times out of 10 will access using the finger print of the last person to use the scanner.

  16. Errr. on The Story of the RedBerry · · Score: 1

    "Howard is co-founder and COO of Iotum Corporation, an emerging technology company based in Ottawa that is helping to redefine the web by "Bringing Relevance to Communications"

    Because a red blackberry is oh so relevant and emerging.

    "I probably broke every rule in the book"

    Oh yeah, he's a real badass. Wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley would you?

  17. Re:Wait for it on Using Jet Engines to Cool Servers · · Score: 1

    I prefer Tic Tac Toe.

  18. Wait for it on Using Jet Engines to Cool Servers · · Score: 1

    1) Tech installs HP jet fans into all his servers.
    2) Tech restarts all his servers.
    3) Tech shits himself as all servers simultainiously (sic) take flight smash though the wall and put themselves into a flight path heading fot the North Pole.

  19. Hmm on Heat, Whine, and Now Yellow MacBooks · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess these Apple users REALLY love their new machines, they should probably wipe them off afterwards if they want to avoid any unsightly embarassing stains, that or use a tissue in the first place.

  20. Already on sale on Projecting Data on a Sphere · · Score: 1

    Think Geek are already selling these and have been since April 1st 2006 http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/screenedsphorb.s html?cpg=28H ;P

  21. Half their salary. on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    So what? How much of the avarage persons monthly salary does rent/food/bills consume? I know in my case its half as well.

    Illegal immigrant caught on street corner selling stolen webcams.

  24. Re:It isn't new to the UK on Movies Delivered Via Television Signal · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not for the updates, I know this for a fact because my box hasn't been plugged into the telephone line for 2 years and I've had no problems. I even got the changes they made to the user interface about 6 months ago. I think its only used for outgoing information as all other info could come down the dish. So what else could be going out apart from the info when you request a boxoffice movie?

  25. Re:Or Electronics on Home Chemistry An Endangered Hobby in U.S. · · Score: 1

    "Then I wondered what it is going to be like in the near future where the flight control system probably runs windows CE or similar"

    And when that happens is around the same time I stop using planes. Blue Screen 'o' Death at 5000', not a nice thought.
