  1. Hmm...maybe if I filed a patent for.... on McDonalds Files To Patent Making a Sandwich · · Score: 1

    ..."my recommended process for maximally-exciting masturbation"!

    But then I wonder...Slashdot may already hold the patent (*sighs*)

  2. Re:Why not Konqueror? on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 1, Troll

    Konqueror sucks. On most of the sites I visit, it doesn't render the page properly. For that matter, Even Firefox 3.0.3 continuously crashes on my Fedora Core 9 installation.

    The BSOD has become quite rare on Windows (since Windows 2000), but these seemingly random crashes continue to plague Linux. And then we ask on Slashdot why people are afraid to use Linux!

  3. Politically incorrect.. on Hacks Allowing Disabled Gamers To Play Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    s/Disabled/Differently Abled/g

  4. Energy demands on Colossus of Rhodes To Be Rebuilt As Giant Light Sculpture · · Score: 1

    I hope they use hydro electricity to drive the energy demands for this thing.

  5. Maybe.... on Verizon Tech Accused Of Making $220K In Sex Calls On User Lines · · Score: 1

    ...Slashdot was down. So he resorted to the next best thing!

  6. Whats the whole point of these silly questions?? on Password Resets Worse Than Reusing Old password · · Score: 1

    I just fail to comprehend the point of these so-called secret questions. Semantics first, the questions are just not secret, Its the answers that are. Also, if someone has forgotten the password that they have been using, how in holy hell can they possibly remember what the 'secret' question was?? Also, people who are somewhat paranoid about security will almost always give some wrong answer to the question which they can be sure cannot be guessed by anybody who knows them. And there lies the problem. Passwords are used more frequently than these questions. So if a person has forgotten their password, they sure as hell can't remember what answer they had given. I think the time is ripe for a radical change in the way we authenticate to these machines.

  7. Re:Bike to work on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    I used to do that. But no surprise, I started getting symptoms of hypertension. This was a direct result of biking on the road among all the horrible traffic. Here in India, especially in Bombay (as in other metros), car drivers honk endlessly, auto (cab) drivers are inconsiderate and bus drivers swerve to the left to stop and then go to the right to speed. Not to mention scores of pedestrians that haplessly pop up when you least expect. Potholes on the roads make the situation worse for your shoulders and back. In the monsoons (rainy season for those who are unaware), it gets even worse since almost every vehicle will splash you with muddy water. So, although I love to bike, I just can't. Luckily, my office is close enough to where I live so that I can walk to work in about 20 minutes. So daily, that makes up a good 40 minutes of walking. And I start slow for the first 5 minutes and then increase my pace to a nice brisk step.

  8. Stone, Paper, Scissor ? on Paper Stronger Than Cast Iron · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So I guess we're gonna hafta rewrite the rulez for da ol' game.

  9. Re:Actually on IT Workers Are Getting Fatter · · Score: 1

    Quickly made?? What can be quicker than fruits? Just stack apples/oranges/bananas, etc. and munch on them whenever required. Healthy, no preservatives and very quick.

  10. Bah! on Scientists Discover Teeny Tiny Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Goatse is prior art.

  11. No! on Does It Suck To Be An Engineering Student? · · Score: 1

    Engineering students don't get sucked. High school students do ;-)

  12. Doesn't make sense on FBI Posts Fake Hyperlinks To Trap Downloaders of Illegal Porn · · Score: 1

    This is like having a woman trying to seduce you and then complaining that you tried to "outrage her modesty". If you lure fish with bait, they're going to take it. FBI should be able to track people who actively scout for child porn and raid them instead.

  13. Just imagine... on Stanford Team Developing Super 3D Camera · · Score: 4, Funny

    ....Goatse in 3D!!!! Yay!!

  14. Good news for slashdotters on Open Source Robot for Household Tasks · · Score: 1

    We can boast of much-needed girlfriends or even wives now. I just hope they make the private parts out of molded silicon rubber...

  15. Moderators.... on IE8 Will Be Standards-Compliant By Default · · Score: 1

    ....can I mod the article as 5:Funny ?

  16. Re:Black Hole on Laser Light Re-creates 'Black Holes' in the Lab · · Score: 1

    Norris was created using a roundhouse kick by Bruce Schneier. The semantics of the word "impossible" do not apply to him. So its ok.

  17. Life May Have Evolved In Ice? on Life May Have Evolved In Ice · · Score: 1

    Definitely. I knew that the first time I took ice. Oh its a magical thing...

  18. Its futile. on Schneier's Keynote At Linux.conf.au · · Score: 1

    There's no point in designing a good security system that provides 'actual' security coz Schneier can hack it with one roundhouse kick to the keyboard.

  19. Just a rand() thought... on Lawyer Puts $10k Bounty on Blogger's Identity · · Score: 1

    ..if the blogger reveals himself, does he get $10,000?

  20. In soviet russia... on Researchers Explore Quantum Dot Based NVRAM · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...all your dots are belong to us.

  21. But can it... on The LCD Panel vs. The Crossbow · · Score: 1

    ...withstand a roundhouse kick?

  22. Watch our for Bruce Schneier on Chuck Norris Sues Publisher, Tears Don't Cure Cancer · · Score: 1

    I soon see Bruce Schneier http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/ following suit (no pun intended)

  23. Why is this even on /. ?? on 44 Conjectures of Stephen Wolfram Disproved · · Score: 1

    I had all my conjectures and overtures disproved and disapproved. Big deal.

  24. Re:wrong order on Researchers Simulate Building Block of Rat's Brain · · Score: 1

    No no no...
    Its not rats followed by politicians, its the other way round. You ALWAYS test invertebrates first. Geez! Didn't they teach you anything at med school??

  25. Re:I had a laser shined at me while driving on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Yeah, send her on a helicopter ride and .....
