  1. Re:I know... on Documenting a Network? · · Score: 1

    I always wonder when I'm looking at my password list on screen, if the security guys can see it through the camera mounted on the ceiling just behind me.
    And while I'm thinking of it.. If you're reading this Mr. Security Guy, please go make a few laps around the parking lot so my GPS unit doesn't get stolen from under your nose again. Thanks.

  2. Re:How does that make it not "real water"? on Space Station Crew Drinks Recycled Urine · · Score: 1

    it's actually necessary for rabbits to eat some of their own feces for proper nutrition. Its similar to a cow chewing its cud

  3. Re:Ran on VAX too on First Graphics Game Written On/For a 16-Bit Home PC · · Score: 1

    I also remember playing a similar game on a VAX mini in highschool.. It was multiplayer, everyone on a terminal could play against each other. If I remember correctly, the webs were called energy nets and were designated by hash marks. This was around 1984 - 85. Not sure of the VAX model, probably 11/780

  4. ha on College Police Think Using Linux Is Suspicious Behavior · · Score: 1

    They all laughed at me for using a purple background with yellow text and comic sans font in my terminal. The only thing I can be accused of is being too cute

  5. Re:IT is a customer service group on Why IT Won't Power Down PCs · · Score: 1

    i would totally take a shit on his/her desk

  6. Re:so.... on Using Linux To Make a Slow, Awful WAN Connection · · Score: 5, Funny

    well at least it hit the submit button for you before crashing

  7. Re:Swedish does not derive from Latin on Watching the IPRED Watchers In Sweden · · Score: 2, Insightful

    yeah.. well, you're probably right-nutted!

  8. Re:Interesting... on The Guardian Shifts To Twitter After 188 Years of Ink · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe Mr T is writing for The Guardian these days?

    APRIL FOO, FOO!

  9. Re:typoinsummary on Quick Boot Linux Hopes To Win Over Windows Users · · Score: 1

    summary.c: In function `main':
    summary.c:2: error: 'a' undeclared (first use in this function)

  10. Re:Well.. on Adobe Flaw Heightens Risk of Malicious PDFs · · Score: 1

    They also loaded a pile of useless plugins on startup. You could move them from the plugins directory to another directory that would load them as needed. It would start up a lot faster if you did that.

  11. Re:Who uses Adobe Reader anyway? on Adobe Flaw Heightens Risk of Malicious PDFs · · Score: 1

    The last time I installed Foxit, (on Win 7 beta) it enabled the browser plugin automatically. There may have been an option during installation, but I probably missed it. The Foxit plugin causes FF to lock up in Windows 7 beta. It's easy enough to disable though.

  12. Re:This has gotta be a joke about blisters on New Medical Disorder Linked To Gaming · · Score: 1
  13. Re:what? on New Medical Disorder Linked To Gaming · · Score: 1

    My right hand always gets those blisters from sitting on a mouse most of the day

    I think the real mystery is why aren't the blisters on your ass instead of your hand?

  14. Re:Cello scrotum on New Medical Disorder Linked To Gaming · · Score: 1

    Do people really play their cello against their scrotum? Most people call that a "guitar"

    some people play guitar *with* their scrotum.. we call them "Steve Vai"

    ...some of them were done in composting...

    Jeez.. If you thought the camerawork was a pile of shit, just say so

  18. Re:And this is important because... on How To Build a Short Foucault Pendulum · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's more interesting than important. Does everything have to be important? Besides, it could lead to other discoveries that no one has thought of yet.

  19. Re:PC Games? on Euro Parliament Wants "Red Button" For Shutting Down Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then the whole family can sit and watch a frozen screen full of boobs for 5 minutes while windows grinds away doing who-knows-what before shutting down.

  20. Re:Oh how I love planes.. on The Flying Giant Is 40 Years Old · · Score: 2, Informative

    It was meant to be either.. they designed it with the option to configure it as a cargo or passenger plane. That's why the cockpit is the way it is - to get it above the cargo bay, and the nose can be modified to swing open to load cargo.

  21. Re:I'm questioning the value on Wind Farms To Receive Future Wind Forecasts · · Score: 1

    I would think the blades would feather automatically in response to excessive speeds.

  22. Re:First Post AND Slashdotted Already on Scientists Solve Century-Old Optics Mystery · · Score: 5, Funny

    well doesn't everyone have to read the article first in order to comment on it?

    Wait.. what the hell am I thinking?

  23. Re:Extended Warranty Tracking on Blu-ray Update Sent To User Via Credit Card Records · · Score: 1

    doesn't sound too paranoid to me.. Companies like Best Buy almost never do things like this just to be kind.

  24. Re:Fuck Keyboards on The Best Keyboards For Every Occasion · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, it redirects back to the non-print version

  25. Re:Family Provide Our Best Stories on Tales From the Support Crypt · · Score: 3, Funny

    have you ever the documentation they write?

    I bet they omit critical words from sentences and stuff like that. Idiots.
