  1. Re:Yams on "Sysadmin of the Year" Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    I'm STILL trying to wrap my mind around the business logic of selling nothing but yarn and I haven't even gotten around to wondering why you would need a sysadmin to run such a business. Must be some high-tech yarn...

    Fewer PS3 Units Tomorrow Than Hoped For?

    I doubt that considering I've been hoping for NONE. So unless Sony has started making their PS3s out of anti-matter (which, by the way, is more plentiful and cheaper than PS3s) then they will probably exceed my personal expectations.

  3. Re:I for one.... on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 1

    You fool! The metro-sexuals won't become our overlords... this is just an evil plot so the human race will become weak enough for the Crab-people to take over!

  4. Re:Side effects these days... on Stem Cell Therapy Causes Tumors · · Score: 1

    Man, I thought anal leakage was a bad side effect, but I'll take that over brain cancer any day!

    You've obviously never had anal leakage.

  5. Probably not the most trusted name in news... on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 1

    This is a little offtopic but it is FTFA:

    Russian jamming systems are publicly known -- the Air Force destroyed such a system deployed to Iraq to keep American GPS guided bombs from finding their targets in the 2003. The site was destroyed by GPS guided bombs.

    Am I the only one who sees a problem with this? If this really did happen, they did a really poor job of explaining how it worked. Did the military just tell a bomb to go in whatever direction it couldn't see in or something? Or maybe this is just a bad news source since obviously they're trying to appeal to the younger generation by using trendy phrases like "in the 2003."

  6. Re:Only 99.995% right? on General Relativity Is At Least 99.95% Right · · Score: 1

    How dare you mock the proven theory of Intelligent Falling by calling it "Creative Gravity!" Ignorant heathens like you will burn in *insert favorite purgatory* for depending upon such blasphemous science to explain His will.

  7. Re:waiting on Pluto Making a Comeback · · Score: 1

    The Arecibo message also said that the number of nucleotides in the human genome is about 4.2 billion when in fact there are about 3.2 billion base pairs in the human genome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_message. So we've already found one major screw-up that makes the single bit in the message that depicts Pluto seem relatively trivial.

  8. Very suspicious... on Google Shies Away from Digital Music Sales · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If they're not looking into getting into the digital music market, what was the head of business development doing at the annual National Association of Recording Merchandisers conference? Sounds kinda shifty to me. :-P

  9. TFA? on 10 Years of Neon Genesis Evangelion · · Score: 0

    I'm a huge fan of Evangelion and a lot of other anime. In addition, I usually find /. articles concerning these subjects interesting. But did anyone actually READ this article before posting it as news? The author displays an obvious lack of understanding of the anime culture (both American and Japanese) and doesn't really introduce anything novel. You'd be much better off reading about it on wiki.

  10. Absolutly! on Should Companies Delay Products for More Features? · · Score: 0

    Duke Nukem Forever is getting old. We need something new to make fun of for never being released. I want to see "OMG PONIES!" articles about the PS3 ten years from now.

  11. Suggested article: on Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal · · Score: 1

    My suggestion for an article today: "Slashdot Chooses not to Participate in April Fools Day!!! OMGLOLBBQBRB?!?!"

  12. The solution! on Bullying Affects Social Status? · · Score: 1

    So to apply what they learned in the study of mice to our own society, we need to breed out the aforementioned gene. As the first step to accomplishing this, I will require all /. readers to immediately cease all reproductive activities. If only there was some way to ensure such a system is successfully implemented... like if we could some how cause the opposite sex to not be attracted to us or something. This could take time... and money. Lots and lots of money. If only there were people in this world to help me fund such a study that would have blatantly obvious results...

  13. Winduubuntoo on Google Working on Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    This could possibly be the most disturbing image I've ever seen. Am I the only one who recognizes this symbol... the red, green, blue, and yellow squares all put together... it sort of looks like a stain glass WINDOW. So much for "Don't be evil." http://www.kernelnet.com/fotos/googleos1.jpg

  14. How anonymous are we talking? on Anonym.OS a Boon for Privacy Geeks? · · Score: 4, Funny

    What are you saying? Is this like... better than the "Post Anonymously" check box and stuff?

  15. Breaking News! on Review of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex · · Score: 1

    I have two major issues with this getting front page coverage: 1) GitS came out in 2002. There are hundreds of reviews for it out there and yours isn't any different. It's just long. 2) You seem to have watched the dub. May God have mercy on your soul.

  16. My Donation on Norway to Build Doomsday Seed Bank · · Score: 1

    My country is pretty politically unstable...

  17. In Soviet Russia, Number Make Up You! on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1

    "I have a new found respect for the EU if they can track 450 billio...", and that's when he was modded redundant to death.

    So you see kids, the real question you should be asking yourself is, "How many prostitutes do you have to kill before an adventure becomes a misadventure?"

    To find the answer, multiply the number of times this gets modded redundant by the number of times it gets modded offtopic and subtract the number of times it gets modded funny.

  18. Good + Good = Vomit on Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda · · Score: 5, Funny

    A few weeks ago, while in a slightly drunken state, I came up with the great idea of mixing Yoo-hoo and gin together with a 1:1 ratio. Both are so great seperate that they must be SUPER great together! I imagine that Coca-Cola may soon face the same bitter-sweet failure I did. It seemed like such a good idea at the time...

  19. Re:You should not comment on your code on How to Write Comments · · Score: 1

    Here's an article that was posted on /. a while ago about that if you're really looking for some job security. http://thc.org/root/phun/unmaintain.html

    They should have called it the "Second Edition XBox," or just "SE XBox" for short.

  21. Fear not! on Geneticists Claim Aging Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    No matter how many superhuman abilities mice gain, study after study has proven that everything gives them cancer. So if they want their precious chemotherapy, they'll have to work for me! Mwhahahaha!

  22. Re:An interesting thing on Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them" · · Score: 1

    From the Wikipedia article: A tin-foil hat, also tinfoil hat, is a general term for a piece of headgear made from one or more sheets of tin foil, aluminum foil, or other similar material. Some people wear the hats in the belief that they protect the brain from such influences as electromagnetic fields, or as a shield against mind control and/or mind reading. Hats made from foil are very rarely used, since the injuries they might guard against are highly speculative, and their effectiveness in preventing such harm would be dubious even if the danger were plausible. Instead, the concept has become a popular stereotype and term of derision; in Internet culture, the phrase (sometimes as the abbreviation "TFH") serves as a byword for paranoia. Please realize that any views expressed on the validity of the use of aluminum foil hats are all purely opinion. You can't prove that they don't work!

  23. It's a trick! on Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lies! All lies! THEY are trying to trick you into taking it off! And it's not paranoia if everyone really is out to get you!
