  1. It's getting hot in here on Fuel Cells for Laptops Due Next Week · · Score: 1

    These things will probably let out more heat, and my balls have had all they can take + a little more.

  2. Well written... on Microsoft Accuses European Union of Collusion · · Score: 1

    ..for a movie script. Just read this part : "..and Microsoft's adversaries were secretly collaborating.. " Where on earth would you read a line like that, outside of cinema? I was about to promise myself not to make fun of MS doing the month of march, for a break, now look what the boneheads went and did.

  3. Just Wondering.. on Google Moving PRC Records Out of China · · Score: 1

    Why do companies like google want to keep data about queries that includes IP addresses, times ..etc. I mean, query history is understandable as a R&D thing, but why all the sneaky stuff? It would save them a lot of time running around trying to find a country that DOESNT behave like big bro.

    Solution: call a press conference, announce a party, burn all records ceremonially in party and use it as marketing move. It would kick behinds, I tell you.

  4. Too many movies on Google Moving PRC Records Out of China · · Score: 1

    This is not an insult, but you can tell a slashdotter has watched too many action movies when he wants companies to do their work in good old Switzerland, where "no one ever asks questions". For God's sake it's not cocaine money we're talking about.
    If you can't put files in the U.S for fear of Big Brother, then uh, dang we're screwed. or something.

  5. Re:Desperate for Darwin on Viruses May be the Precursors of All Life · · Score: 1

    But it's better than being the great grandson of a Mimivirus, no?

    Ahem..

    Lets not choose our beliefs according to which one of them makes you look better, ok. Good.

  6. Desperate for Darwin on Viruses May be the Precursors of All Life · · Score: 1

    Viruses May be the Precursors of All Life

    Yep, either them or Elton John.
    Or something other than God, right? Scientific theory is good when it doesn't invovle a "Mimivirus" (are you guys serious) or researchers who jerk off to pictures of Darwin before they go to sleep every day. But when you stoop this low, prepare to be called names and screamed at on your way to work.

    P.S Spyware spawns a lot more life on your desktop than a virus does, believe me.

  7. Blogs suck on Blog Epitaphs? Get Me Rewrite! · · Score: 1

    They just do. You can argue the case for keeping diaries, you know..traditional diaries as a means of self reflection, but "bloggers" are the saddest creatures on earth. Nobody wants to know what your dog ate for dinner, crackhead. Get a life already.

    But I guess it's a good way to keep the not-so-intelligent people busy at home and not, for instance, committing armed robbery at the local grocery store.

  8. Ruining the Military. on Future of Maglev in the US Military · · Score: 1

    Uncle Sam would be ashamed. What would the U.S Navy be without the sheer atmosphere of it's arrival?
    It's all about NOISE, man. You can't convincingly attack and occupy a country against international law unless you're menacing enough to do it.

    Plus, the world will think our army is gay. We all read the recent soldier porno story...where are we headed here?

  9. Whew on Octopiler to Ease Use of Cell Processor · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing there's Sony had the good sense to make 8 cores instead of five, otherwise IBM would have given us the PENTOPILER, and I would have boycotted PS3 just for the name.

    I thank IBM, on behalf of the illiterate developer community of the world, for using naming conventions that suit the layman. Or the complete dumbfreak.

    Octopiler...

  10. Re:i forght for these rights! on Cell Phone Tracking In the UK · · Score: 1

    I was having trouble deciding whether he was kidding or what..then he put the muslim-communists punchline in and gave it away.

    Dude:You should not be here. This is slashdot. Please go here.

  11. I'm voting HD-DVD ... on In Sony's Stumble, the Ghost of Betamax · · Score: 5, Insightful

    because I find it hard to put money in something with the word "blu" in it.

    I mean, how hard is it to add the e at the end, geniuses. A 2 year old could come up with a better marketing plan.

    Just..never mind.

  12. Corporate hegemony on Interactive Commercial Utilizes Tivo Features · · Score: 1

    The aim is to combat the use of DVR devices..

    They're making it sound like DEA cracking down on narcotics. I'm sure MS is proud.

  13. Re:Ok you win.. on UK Government Wins Villain of the Year · · Score: 1

    Woah, slow down there buddy, you're talking a completely different *league*.

    We are still playing democracy-being-hypocritical-as-usual here.
    China belongs to the yes-we're-big-brother-and-we-don't-like-you-either division.

    We're getting there, but not just yet.

  14. Ok you win.. on UK Government Wins Villain of the Year · · Score: 3, Funny

    This round anyway. We Americans must admit our defeat, but we'll get you twats next year when we convince google to hand over those logs.

  15. Re:When will the English take back their country? on UK Government Wins Villain of the Year · · Score: 1

    What will it take to push you over the edge, the banning of cricket?

    No. The banning of rascists should do the trick.

  16. Say goodbye to viagra on Enzyme Computer Could Live Inside You · · Score: 1

    I mean, who would go for chemicals when you have a *processor* putting those nuts to work? I don't know much about this issue, but I would imagine any tinkering in this particular area will lead to catastrophe. Just think:

    Cell A: Ejaculation initiated.
    Cell B: All processing threads halted, stand-by for eject.
    Cell A: Freeeeeeeeedoooooooooooom!

  17. What if... on From PayPal to Planetary Travel · · Score: 1

    ..a hacker uses fake info to pay for a trip and only gets caught after take-off?

    You have 2 basic options:

    a)Send him down alone in an economy class module that doesn't have parachutes.

    b)Call it quits and ruin the flight for everybody.

    I think I'll just settle for a spot on the beach.

  18. Very confusing.. on UK Government Confiscates Firefox CDs · · Score: 1

    For a long time I thought it was *American* police who were stupid. This guy is making me question my most basic of beliefs.

  19. Why I like slashdot... on Microsoft Faces Fresh Antitrust Complaints · · Score: 1

    One of the good things about slashdot is that every time someone says "Microsoft!" you know there will be an abundance of words not suitable for use in public.

    It's the only thing stable about the OS.

  20. Suborbital? on Space Race 2.0 has Begun · · Score: 1

    Screw that,I'm going for MARS, dude.
    Who in his right mind would spend millions of green guys for a half-hour ride around the globe to get a glimpse of china. I've already SEEN china, you twats. Buy an Atlas.

  21. Solution to Mideast Conflict on Why Don't You Sleep On It? · · Score: 1

    "In contrast, the unconscious mind appears able to ponder over all the information and produce a decision that most people remain satisfied with." To reach a permanent solution to the problem: Get them all to watch TV then quickly switch to, say , a documentary about life as a blogger. Instantaneous sleep, reflection on the news reel they saw before, and ultimately peace.

  22. Re:It's friggin WINDOWS running on friggin INTEL! on Core Duo Power Sapping Bug is Microsoft Issue · · Score: 1

    They dont get it. *looks around, slowly brings hands down, takes out automatic rifle*

  23. It's fine really... on ATI Claims HDCP Then Covers Its Tracks · · Score: 1

    Just another example of consumers getting screwed. Nothing to get worked up over. P.S I have a GeForce.

  24. This isn't about TV's.. on LCoS Shoot-Out Results · · Score: 1

    it's about making consumers look stupid. Evil, yes, but aren't we all?

  25. Pointlessness on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    Look at the top left of this page, under the logo. It says "Stuff that matters". You broke that rule with this man's words. Or something.
