  1. Pirates Of The Bay on Amazon Fights Piracy Tool, Creators Call It a Parody · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Amazon should instead create another Firefox add-on, when users are browsing through TPB torrents, a large "Buy Genuine 4 Cheap" button next to those torrent listings would appear and link back to Amazon.com.

  2. Re:I am an optimist... I hope! on Electrode Implant Gives Mute Man a (Synthesized) Voice · · Score: 1

    growling tiger|squealing pig

    Is it a movie sequel?

  3. Re:Same Song, Different Verse on Amazon Payment Systems Take On PayPal · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Google doesn't have anything to sell, but not so for Amazon, it doesn't need eBay users to survive, Amazon has enough users to get this thing started.

  4. Fair enough on Hacker Could Keep Money from Insider Trading · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It is stock market after all, nobody can guarantee the outcome even with insider news. What if the company suddenly decided to delay the announcement?

  5. Blasted from? on Ice Age Beasts Blasted from Space · · Score: 1

    According to the friendly article, these animals were clearly blasted with space debris, not blasted from space.

    Luckily I brought a spare underwear to work today, because I seriously wet my pants reading the headline, thinking some intelligently designed beasts lived in some remote planets, and were blasted into earth after their home planet exploded.

  6. Re:The usual post on Japan to Start Fingerprinting Foreign Travelers · · Score: 1

    I use knuckles to push buttons, or at least twist my thumb after pushing a button.

  7. Re:How are they going to claim... on Plagiarizing Wikipedia For Profit · · Score: 1

    but damages could be calculated from the sold copies of the book.

    Well, if I could steal someone's work and create something to sell, I wouldn't mind paying for the royalties AFTER the sales, if any. Afterall, I can still rightfully claim my part of work like organizing the content, publishing, marketing etc.

  8. Illustrations on Asus Insider Claims Apple Tablet Is Real · · Score: 1

    Wow, who could believe ASUS can leak so much details on the design!

  9. Re:Women soldiers on Australian Army Invests in Electrical Shirts · · Score: 1

    Why women soldiers? I'm sure if male soldiers are left out there long enough, they would appreciate a vibration device just as well as their female counterparts.

  10. Not just math on Brains Hard-Wired for Math · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Bottom of the friendly article: The results are not the first to suggest there may be specific brain cells tied to individual concepts. In 2005 researchers discovered that individual neurons become activated by images of specific celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry.

    So I guess it is up to individuals to decide how best to utilize limited brain cells. I'm pretty sure that those monkeys can tied a couple of their brain cells to other concepts given enough training.

  11. Re:Not piracy on New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it still holds true: It's not piracy, it's unauthorized crimes.

  12. Re:Keep me happy? on Nissan Adds Robot Helper To Its Concept Car · · Score: 1

    I'd like mine to be named Pris

    All Japanese models are named Pris, they always say "Pris calm down".

  13. Re:The law doesn't protect you on Inside Comcast's Surveillance Policies · · Score: 1

    And when they ask you for your key and you won't give them, they throw you in jail and keep you there.

    And the worst part is, when you ask them for the key to get you out of jail, they won't give you.

  14. Re:More bad news on PS3 Unreal Tournament 3 Delayed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Same here. I won't be buying one until Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

  15. In Deutschland on German Court Rules That Websites Can't Retain Logged IPs · · Score: 1

    In Deutschland, we do not log IPs.

  16. Re:Strong fan of free software??? on Best Platform For Hobbyist Mobile Development? · · Score: 1

    Coming next to Slashdot: up is down and black is white.

    It's already here: Our uptime. Your downtime.

  17. Re:Manga and Anime on Copier Auto-Translates Japanese to English · · Score: 1

    I cannot imagine porn images with white square areas, that's not porn.

  18. 1-Click Rejection on 1-Click Rejection Rejected · · Score: 2, Funny

    At first I thought someone tried to patent this " 1-Click Rejection" feature, and Slashdot would have to be paying $0.20 for every submission they easily rejected with one click.

  19. Manga and Anime on Copier Auto-Translates Japanese to English · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Imagine if you upload manga scans to Flickr, and it automatically translates them to English.

    Imagine if you upload anime to YouTube, and it automatically includes an English subtitle.

  20. Re:Perhaps.. on Half of IT Workers Sleep on the Job · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it make sense if female co-workers are to kiss each other at regular intervals, THEN male workers wouldn't be sleeping on the job anymore.

  21. Just did? on Apple Legend Woz Blasts iPhone Price Drop · · Score: 5, Funny

    We just discussed the price drop last night.

    Then instead of starting a new story, why didn't Woz contribute to that discussion?

    That is what makes Slashdot great. I wish he did that.

  22. Re:Cartoony image on Australia Cracked US Combat Aircraft Codes · · Score: 1

    Pictures tall kid dangling candy over another kids head

    Johnny's third attempt hit Sammy's crotch though.

  23. Re:hm on Australia Cracked US Combat Aircraft Codes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Former defense minister. It's easy to be forgotten if you're too quiet.

    Back on topic, this is what you got for not using open source aircrafts.

  24. Out of sight, out of mind on Don't Take Notes In the Bookstore · · Score: 4, Insightful

    an online database that allows students to find the books they need for each course at discounted prices from several online booksellers

    So Harvard Coop is excluded from the list, and I doubt students will be rushing there in a hurry.

  25. Norton Anti-Worker on Workers Cause More Problems Than Viruses · · Score: 5, Funny

    Time to place your order.
