  1. What about the hair? on Bob Ross And The Joy of Painting · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does the game teach you how to get Bob's wicked cracker-fro?

  2. AOL IM is the worst on Is There a Solution for Focus-Hungry Apps? · · Score: 1

    For years I refused to switch from ICQ to IM just because of this abhorrent behavior (that, and how it inserted shortcuts in 10 or 15 different places). Eventually, all my friends migrated to IM and I didn't have much of a choice. To this day, the forced popup windows bug the hell out of me, but I can get around it with 3rd party clients.

  3. Re:Waterless toilet on Pork Barrel Tech Projects On The Rise · · Score: 2, Insightful
    The waterless toilet is a great idea and it works

    I agree. I've seen them in national parks/forests and they allow sanitary waste disposal without having to run massive lengths of plumbing. They're also popular at some ski resorts, but no self-respecting skier would ever use a urinal. That's why God made snow: For man to practice his urinary penmanship.

  4. Re:Save the melodramatic crap on Drugs May Offer AIDS Prevention · · Score: 1
    There are very few places outside of sub-Saharan Africa that have a greater than 2% infection rate

    Actually, Washington DC has greater than 2% infection rate. 1 in 50 are living with full-blown AIDS, and the city doesn't even know how many have HIV. I don't know at what point the label "pandemic" becomes meaningful, but when a disease can be carried and transmitted for 15+ years, 2+% of a population provides a lot of hosts.

  5. Re:Pork... on Bring Home the Biotech Bacon · · Score: 1

    Just watch out for Trichinosis

  6. Re:Forget hearing loss... on New Tech to Help Prevent Hearing Loss? · · Score: 1

    Riiiiight... Slashdot is making you go blind. And Slashdot is making your keyboard sticky too.

  7. Ubiquitous PC Game Installation Procedure on The Problems With Game Copy Protection · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Step 1: Buy game
    Step 2: Install game
    Step 3: Download NoCD crack from MegaGames, install crack, copy ISO to hard drive, run Alcohol %120, run program to hide Alcohol %120, yadda yadda yadda...
    Step 4: Play game
    Step 5: Realize that you probably spent more time protecting your computer from DRM perversion than actually playing the game

  8. Re:And in other questions... on Is Visual Basic a Good Beginner's Language? · · Score: 1

    Dear United States citizens: Would you vote for Ralph Nader again?

  9. 2 Words: Windows Vista on The Trouble With Software Upgrades · · Score: 1, Insightful

    'nuff said

  10. Re:Predictable results on NJ Bill Would Prohibit Anonymous Posts on Forums · · Score: 1

    Funniest thing I've seen today. I'd mod you up if I had the points.

  11. MP == Member of Parliament on French MPs Consider P2P Downloads Again · · Score: 3, Informative
  12. Re:Bush Whacked. on President Defends Global Outsourcing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The inherent problem with campaign finance restrictions is that they can give the incumbent an enormous advantage. Take, for example, the Vermont rules. In certain cases, the candidates can only allocate a few thousand dollars. How is a challenger supposed to mount an effective public relations campaign with that kind of money? Unless the incumbent royally F's up, most people will stick with what they know.

  13. Re:Sensationalist, but effectively correct on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 1

    Who is John Galt?

  14. Schrödinger's PC on Quantum Computer Works Better Shut Off · · Score: 2, Funny

    But how do we KNOW it's off?

  15. Cue Doc Brown on The Good and Bad of In-Game Ads · · Score: 1
    I don't want to be defusing at basement nuke and see an advertisment for Tampax Heavy's on the wall

    Dr. Emmett Brown: 'There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?'

    Sorry, completely off topic, but it's the first thing that went through my head...

  16. Bring on the Mountain Dew! on Fight Tooth Decay with Electricity · · Score: 5, Funny

    We'll see how well that 5-year warranty holds up after I'm through with it!

  17. Re:For sure. on On Single-Player Competition · · Score: 1

    One of my proudest middle school achievements was borrowing my friend's Super Mario Cart cartridge and systematically trouncing each one of his best times. The look on his face when he realized that he was pwned at his own game was priceless. Ah, to be a caffeine-addicted 12 year-old again...

  18. Re:SEGA Fantasy VI on Classic Game Endings Online · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty well-versed in console history and I've beaten FF6(3), but I'm not sure if I even got half of those references! Damn funny though.

  19. They're just representing their game on Do Booth Babes Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    The booth babes are there to represent the female characters present in the game. Underwhelmingly, I might add. If those top-heavy characters were adequately portrayed, they'd have a hard time remaining vertical.

  20. Re:Harvard Extension on Stanford Classes Now Available on iTunes · · Score: 5, Funny
    classes that I missed due to illness or work schedule conflicts

    You misspelled "hangovers" and "parties"

  21. Thread continued on another random blog on Washington Post Shuts Down Blog · · Score: 3, Informative
    Don't worry, some other random Washington Post blog was hijacked by this thread. I think the spirit of the original discussion remained intact.

  22. Re:And on the ocean...? on The Backhoe, The Internet's Natural Enemy · · Score: 1
    Why, deep sea fangly fish, of course.

  23. Re:The best part on Happy 300th Birthday Benjamin Franklin · · Score: 1
    Which has Franklin spinning in his grave.

    My God, he's invented necroelectric power. Quick, someone strap a generator on that man!

  24. Re:ICQ on Instant-Messaging Attacks On the Rise · · Score: 1

    There's no need to worry about virii or trojans on ICQ since nobody uses it anymore! That being said, I do miss the golden days of ICQ. Amongst my friends, I was the last holdout against the IM machince, but it just became so lonely being the only one online with ICQ.

  25. Re:Awesome on Virgin Galactic to Build Space Port in New Mexico · · Score: 1

    Don't leave out the Pennsylvania nominees: Blue Ball, Beaver, Mount Joy, Virginville, Intercourse. Damn, those Amish must've had some latent sexual issues...
