  1. Re:R-e-a-c-t-i-n-g .... on ReactOS 0.3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I feel the same way.
    But you'd still have to run Microsoft's DirectX and I wonder if that will ever run on ReactOS. Also, since they aim for compatibility with XP, it'll never run DirectX 10...

  2. Re:blocking belgium on Google Loses Cache-Copyright Lawsuit in Belgium · · Score: 1

    It's only for the French and German speaking parts of Belgium. [politicaljoke]So in this case, there is no Flemmish Block. [/politicaljoke]

  3. Re:El oh el? on Sun Looks To GPL3 For Java, Solaris · · Score: 1

    This seems nothing more than a publicity stunt by Sun in order to gain attention and hopefully get some more people using their OS.
    Sure beats painting a start button on the Chinese wall...
  4. Re:Someone on A New Twist On Skywriting · · Score: 5, Funny

    How about "Aliens Attack Here -->" across a hemisphere you don't like?

  5. Re:Kittens on UK Greens Declare Vista Bad For Environment · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bit of a moral dilemma then, isn't it? 'cause every time someone installs Linux Steve Ballmer throws a chair at a puppy...

  6. Re:LASER weapon? on China Tests Anti-Satellite Laser Weapon · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You can't mount a kinetic kill vehicle-bearing ballistic missile on a friggin' shark's head, can you? At least not without seriously damaging the shark, I mean.

  7. Prequels? on Sequels We'd All Like To See · · Score: 1

    How about a prequel to Pacman?
    Pacman Begins

    ... "Tobacco industry privately admits smoking actually not very healthy at all."

  9. Re:Should newbies watch 1-6, or 4-6 then 1-3? on Harrison Ford Turned Down Han Solo Role · · Score: 1

    Or the new Battlestar Galactica.
    I got my girlfriend totally hooked on that show, and she normally *hates* anything remotely scifi.

  10. Re:How to feed it ? on Enter The 2160p HDTV · · Score: 5, Funny

    What can one use to feed this beast ? Where to find very-very-HD contents ? Hook up four DVD players, with each disc containing a quarter of the movie's image. Then lign up your remotes on the coffee table and use the index and middle fingers of both your hands to press play.
  11. Re:Yay!!! on NASA Will Go Metric On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Doing something important, where you need accuracy do it in metric doing something fun, do it in imperial.

    Distance to the shops in miles, distance to the sun in kilometers
    What does it tell us about the world we live in, where the distance to the sun is more important than the distance to our main source of food?
  12. Re:NASA has an unforseen problem... on Mars Rovers' Software Upgraded · · Score: 1

    Guess that's why they have two of the little droids: they can update eachother.
    For the Benders in the world that's probably a kinky thought: some good old American Spirit-on-Opportunity action.

  13. Re:ummm okay on Microsoft Laptop Recipient Auctioning Laptop · · Score: 2, Funny

    I pissed off Ferrari once, and they sent me a Microsoft sports car. I had a feeling they were trying to kill me when I was doing 200 KM/H on a German highway and my front windshield windows turned blue.

  14. Re:Download vs. Upload on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 1

    "Search to database for the supersecret plans and squirt them to my PDA!"

  15. Re:Too many exeptions. on Secret Gov't Documents Will be Declassified 12/31 · · Score: 1

    Where's the adjective in that phrase?

    ...and Microsoft! [ducks]

  17. Re:Okay we get it on David Pogue Takes On Vista · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes. And when Vista's successor is announced, we'll get "Vista didn't have this crap" and "At least with Vista, you could ..." articles. Every day. It is the Slashdot way, grasshopper.

  18. Re:Hmmm, how to get a closer look? on NASA Finds Evidence of Recent Flowing Water on Mars · · Score: 1

    ... just to deliver a high speed data squirt to an orbiter ...
    You mean the orbiter can then analyse the data no more than five times? And after three days, it's automatically erased, right?
  19. Re:Strategy for Return to the Moon on NASA Unveils Strategy for Return to the Moon · · Score: 1

  21. Re:I know why they're really doing it on Microsoft Will Allow Vista Reinstalls · · Score: 1

    How many of you have actually successfully tried to get some non-geek friends/family to move to Linux? I never have... When they see my Kubuntu-desktop they'll ask about my "cool start-button" but the effort of having to insert the CD and rebooting always scares them off. Are there any success stories out there? Any pointers?

  22. Re:Next up on Will the iPod Ever Die? · · Score: 1
    Will toasters ever die (...)?

    No. The frakking toasters keep being resurrected.
  23. Re:Not So! on Teleportation Gets a Boost · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the Riker/Troi/Riker sandwich scenes were cut, because the episode ran too long. They'll be on the 50th anniversary Extreme Super High Density Blueray Disc set.
