  1. All your rights are belong to us on Gonzales Says Publishing Leaks Is A Crime · · Score: 1

    And you thought nobody could be as insane as John Ashcroft.

    What really bothers me is not the fact that a sitting attorney general of the United States could say something so antithetical to what this country is supposed to stand for - people say things all the time for all kinds of reasons.

    What bothers me is that he had the brass to say it in _public_ in an interview. That means either he doesn't know any better or he thinks we don't.

    Which do you think it is?

  2. Re:Neat. on Change of Focus for Liquid Crystals · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't know about that one. I think I'll stick with glasses until they can make the LCDs (and power supplies) small enough to _not_ make me look any more like a frog than I already do.

    I think a more realistic use would be for weapon sights and cameras.

  3. Re:Slightly OT - Google Notebook on Google: The Missing Manual, Second Edition · · Score: 2, Informative

    OT or not, I have to weigh in on this.

    I am already a fan, mainly because of the "note this" feature it adds next to searches which is huge AFAIC.

    Anyway, I think it rules.

  4. Re:Work rules on Why Emails Are Misunderstood · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Though that isn't a rule at my job, it is one of my own personal rules - but for different reasons.

    I refuse to commit anything to writing that could come around and bite me in the ass later.

    At least over the phone or in person, I can always rely on people's imperfect recollection of what I said to defend my nasty temper.

    But an email - forget it. I might as well put it on a billboard then.

  5. Re:Headline misleading on First Ever Wild Grizzly/Polar Hybrid Shot · · Score: 2, Informative

    Read it again, friend. It says "First Ever WILD Grizzly/Polar Hybrid Shot" (emphasis mine).

    Wild in this case certainly means not bred in captivity.

    So maybe Parent should have spent less time reading TFA and more time reading TFH.

  6. Re:Alternative uses on Ready to Test a 'SmartShirt'? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I don't know about you chief, but I like to have sex without clothes on.

    When you get laid for the first time, you'll understand.

  7. Re:Heat sensitive t-shirts on Ready to Test a 'SmartShirt'? · · Score: 1

    Generra Hypercolor.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercolor

    I don't think they make them anymore, since they crapped out afer a few washes and turned mottled.

    Those shirts ruled until it got hot outside and your pits and back turned one color while the rest of your torso was another.

    I think they had shorts too, but I was too chicken to wear them - being a pubescent male at that time - in case I got excited and had a boner shaped spot of "Hypercolor" on my shorts.

  8. Dr. James Xavier on Favorite Film Scientists? · · Score: 1

    Ray Milland from "X - The Man With the X-Ray Eyes". This is by far Roger Corman's best film, and Milland totally rules in it. It's the same old scientific conundrum - just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

    Also, Kurt Russell & Keith David in Carpenter's "The Thing". I guess they weren't really scientists, but they were stationed at a research facility, so I think they should count. Plus Russell gets to experiment on people, so that has to count for something. . .

  9. Re:Stay small and build up on Indie Game Devs Should Give Up · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Since when do the Viet Cong fund game development?

  10. Personally on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest Update · · Score: 1

    I think we should go back to "Pinkdot".

    OMG Ponies!!!!

    That was the kewtest site evar!!!!

  11. Dangerous Predators? on Politicians Target Social Sites For Restrictions · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Escaping brand logo evangelism on MIT Media Lab Fashions · · Score: 1

    Yeah.

    Or they could have five different innane marketing slogans and five different stupid band names on a constantly blinking nightmare shirt that would give us all epileptic seizures.

    I like your optimism man, I just don't share it.

  13. This is really great. on MIT Media Lab Fashions · · Score: 4, Funny

    What an exciting and entirely appropriate use of technology.

    Frankly I was wondering why this hadn't been done yet.

    This kind of radical thinking is sure to keep MIT right at the top for years to come.

    Boy am I glad we crawled out of the ocean, fought off fucking cave bears and developed huge brains because this is truly the culmination of all our hopes as a species.

    Look on and be humbled by our own magnificence, people - this is our finest hour:

    We can wirelessly change clothes!!!

  14. $100 Says on Metal Gear Solid Movie Confirmed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    . . .They leave out the Diazepam Snake used to steady his hands while sniping. Kurt Russell?? That would kick ass since he is by far the best actor in the history of mankind. Ever.

  15. Tandy 1000 on Historic Microcomputer Restoration? · · Score: 1

    I got a Tandy 1000 off my brother-in-law when I was a kid after my Commodore 64 went to the dogs. Maybe not as antique as you're looking for, but I could still own any one of you at King's Quest. . . if there was a way to own someone at King's Quest that is.

  16. Scientists also added on Alcohol Powered Muscles · · Score: 1

    The robotic muscles displayed a grossly inflated sense of self esteem, hit on female researchers, and told dirty jokes before demanding burritos and finally passing out.

  17. Um... on Human and Machine Readable Handwritten Language? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Can't you type faster than you can write? What are you, an executive or something?

  18. Re:Lawyers on One Second Ads Hoping To Grab Your Eyes · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't know -- how do you memorize the rack on the girl from the coffee shop in 1/30th of a second to add to the spank bank?

  19. As a compromise on Social Consequences and Effects of RFID Implants? · · Score: 1

    So you don't have to perform surgery everytime the tech gets better or you decide to rob a bank or whatever, why don't you just shove it up your ass?

  20. OK, you can rip the streams with. . . on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 4, Informative

    . . .Replay music. http://www.applian.com/replay-music/index.php But doing so would be wrong, so don't do it. Ever.

  21. Re:How do I download? on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 1

    OK, never mind. Yes, yes, I know. Next time I'll take my head out of my ass before I post.

  22. Re:How do I download? on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm not advocating piracy here, but if one wished to download the songs, one could play them in Winamp with the free Streamripper plugin and rip the streams as MP3s. But that would be wrong, so don't do it. Ever.

  23. This is pointless on Unique Visitors = 1/10th of Unique IPs? · · Score: 1

    "I know kung-fu!"

  25. Re:I don't understand.. on The World's Deepest Dinosaur · · Score: 1

    The coincidence part is that they were looking for oil and found crushed up dinosaur knuckles. Nobody drills 2200 meters under the sea floor with maybe an eight inch core on the off chance they might find some dinosaur bones - they do it to find the rest of the dinosaur coupled with his surrounding habitat that has been compressed and stewed and now sells for $70 a barrel.
