  1. Re:I WANT ONE! on Machine Gun Sentry Robot Unveiled · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Murdering people because of their religious beliefs? That's way uncool.


    Wrong.

    It's not because of their religious beliefs.
    It's the door-knocking and the self-righteous proselytizing that get them to the front of the line for ED-209 testing.
    I assure you, when I want to be a part of someone's religion, I'll find them. I don't need a herd of intrusive leaflet pushers to steer me in the "right" direction.
  2. Re:What would *I* want to see? on Software Dev Cycle As Part of CS Curriculum? · · Score: 4, Funny
    (I went to school 25 years ago, but for Soviet Studies, not CS)


    In Soviet Russia, software develops you. . .

  3. Re:Well, there was that one time... on Worst Security Clean-Up You've Performed? · · Score: 1
    it was the only way to be sure...


    Did you salt the earth so nothing would grow there again?
  4. Re:If only there was some way to know on Foundation Commissions $50 Million Online Study · · Score: 1
    How can I tell if this is a trap?


    The same way you can tell if something is fud.

  5. Zombies are not cannibals on AIDS Can Fight AIDS · · Score: 1

    Zombies don't eat other zombies, dude.

    That's why it's hard to survive a zombie movie.

  6. Re:"I was having fun to suck batteries . . ." on OpenSourcing Yourself, Are You Ready? · · Score: 1

    Waawaaweewaah, is a good site!!!

    I am to posting picture of my chramm.

    Is very nice.

  7. Re:some personal favourites of mine on Some of the Best Game Levels of All Time · · Score: 1

    I'll totally second the THPS2 vote.

    I go back and play the Venice Beach and Philly levels all the time for no reason at all.

    One of my favorite levels in any game was in Medal of Honor, when you dressed up like a Nazi and infiltrated the train station. It wasn't hard or anything, but I thought it was fun as hell.

  8. Come on. on Games That Advanced the Art of Storytelling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All those games are so new.

    What about Zork?

    And what about all the Sierra games from the 80's? (King's Quest, Space Quest, et.al.)

  9. Re:Windows only thanks to Flash requirement on "Interface-Free" Touch Screen at TED · · Score: 1

    Come on, mods. Don't mod parent offtopic.

    Anyway, man, here's the YouTube video which I was able to watch (also running Linux with an older Flash version).

  10. Re:not likely on Congressman Calls for Arrest of Security Researcher · · Score: 1

    Wait, that's a lie!
    That's a goddamned lie!

  11. Check Here on Finding Digital Scans of Sheet Music? · · Score: 5, Informative

    This looks interesting

    I think you should be able to find something here.

    BTW, GIYF.

  12. WTF on Game Demos Key to Game Purchases · · Score: 4, Funny
    This kind of finding could be particularly important to publishers trying to determine the best way to divide up their marketing spend.


    When did "spend" become a noun?
  13. Re:Sure on Wired's Very Short Stories · · Score: 1

    Hominy, water, butter. Delicious Southern delight.

  14. Re:Talk About Irony... on Fedora Core 6 Review · · Score: 1

    I have to agree that the article is poorly written, but it's nothing a good proofreading would be able to fix. The entire thing reads like a fourteen-year old wrote it in five minutes.

    From the embarrassing lack of agreement between nouns and their modifiers all the way to "on accident" and the previously mentioned spelling errors, this review was garbage.

    I'm not trying to be a dick here, but sometimes I think it's important to point out the more obvious pitfalls of "user generated content".

  15. Re:Visa, borders, etc. on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    And have Ted Stevens for a legislator??

    Forget it.

  16. Re:English as a second language... priceless on RentACoder Losing Street Cred? · · Score: 4, Funny
    this explains why rentacoder team do not understand plain English if is
    more than several sentences
    the rentacoder team took to do job(rentacoder site) according their
    mental abilities


    I don't understand plain English either, if that's what you're calling English.
  17. There's a correlation alright. on Cell Phone Use May Be Bad For Your Sperm · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think the kind of jerk who is always on a cell phone is the kind of jerk with low quality sperm to begin with.

    My sperm are the size of M&M's and they have teeth and can't be killed by conventional weapons. Do I use a cell phone all day?

    Hell no. If I want someone to know something, I punch it in Morse code right on their forehead.

  18. Re:Quantum Malware vs Observation on Malware In Quantum Computing? · · Score: 3, Funny

    No.

    When your AV program detects it, it flies off and infects someone else's computer.

  19. Great on Boy Scouts Introduce Merit Badge For Not Pirating · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's another badge I wouldn't have gotten.

    Just like the "Don't Stab Hoboes" badge.

  20. Re:What's so special about Vista? on Samsung's Hybrid Hard Drive Exposed · · Score: 4, Funny
    Can anyone spell oligopolistic collution?

    Actually, it's spelled 'collusion'.
  21. Re:Ship time on Samsung's Hybrid Hard Drive Exposed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Excellent point. TFA has been Slashdotted so I can't see the specs without an undue amount of initiative on my part, but presumably if they put enough flash memory in, and used a proper distributive algorithm to make sure the same sectors aren't constantly written to - there might be little danger of this drive failing any sooner than a conventional drive.

    I hope.

  22. Re:Sanity on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 1, Funny
    I mean the guy drove 70 miles with an axe


    Well, actually, it was a pick-axe _handle_ not an axe.

    He was just going to throw the guy an unnecessarily savage beating, not chop him up. Chopping him up would have been a little overboard. . .
  23. Re:Eeeh... on A Vest to Hug You · · Score: 2, Funny

    So when do they invent the geek hug underwear?

  24. Re:How the new releases will affect market share on IE Market Share Drops to Lowest Level in Years · · Score: 1

    An addiction to tabs, yes, but there's also the extensibility of Firefox that makes it so appealing. Once you have a browser that can act in all the ways you want it to why would anyone go back?

    I think IE7 will introduce more 'joe-sixpack' types to the idea of tabbed browsing - all the better for Firefox to scoop them up when those poor saps find out that IE still blows.

  25. Re:nice list on Guitar Hero 2 Official Set List Released · · Score: 1
    Freebird I just dont get, its not a particularly hard song to play on a real guitar


    Until you get to the solo, that is.

    If you can play that, we should talk man. Let's put out a record.
