  1. Re:Four? on Store Says DRM Causes 3 of 4 Support Calls · · Score: 1

    Is it bad that I wondered how 75% of anything can ever be equal to 4?

  2. Mod up Informative on RFID Tattoo for Tracking Cattle and Humans · · Score: 1

    Wow. I'd never even heard of that. Pretty amazing.

  3. Re:Melinda Messenger on When Celebrities Speak on Science · · Score: 1

    What about Botox? Does that count? ;)

  4. Re:Bizarre. on Australia Rules Linking to Copyright Material Also Illegal · · Score: 1

    Come on now, when was the last time a news reporter used a reference or did research? It's the news according to them, remember?

  5. Re:Did you know... on UK Wants To Ban Computer-Generated Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Can you give a source for this please?

  6. Of course it's real! on Has 3D Video Finally Arrived? · · Score: 1

    They do it on CSI all the time!

  7. Re:It's obviously the best solution on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    You know, it's really annoying to have moderator points and see something like this already at 5. Dammit, we need to be able to go to 6. or 11. ;)

  8. And they're doing this ... how? on Police Using YouTube to Catch Killers · · Score: 1

    I know this is Slashdot, and expecting people to read the article is a waste of time, so can we possibly get a little more info in the summary? I read the headline and thought it was going to be some really wierd but totally cool sting op.

  9. Re:To give you an idea of why lj users are upset on LiveJournal Introduces "Sponsored Content" · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I like LiveJournal because it's NOT a MySpace clone. And in my opinion, it has a long way to go before it gets there. Not that that's stopping SixApart from trying. Oh well. *goes back to his paid account and makes faces at all the people who see ads*

  10. Re:Welcome, fair stranger! on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 1

    Entirely my point, 173941. ;)

  11. spoilers(not that anyone cares) on Study Finds World Warmth Edging to Ancient Levels · · Score: 1

    Not anymore they don't... damn those replicators.

  12. Welcome, fair stranger! on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 1

    You must be new here. This is Slashdot, where NO ONE reads TFA, not even the editors, and certainly not the submitters.

  13. Re:So... on Atlantis Expected to Launch Today · · Score: 1

    No, they had Sheppard stand at the bottom, and through his amazing Kirk!God!MarySue!ness, he singlehandedly pushed the shuttle into orbit. Ronan pulled 56,234,980,458 knives from his hair and threw them at the satellites in the way, McKay provided the necessary trajectories, and Teyla bared her midriff. All the while Weir stood there in Mission Control and did... absolutely nothing. Lorne was nowhere to be found.

  14. Nope, not kidding. on Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    One word, man: TOOL.

  15. *wonders how far this joke can be pushed* on NVIDIA Do-It-Yourself Quad SLI Launched · · Score: 1

    It sounds like you need to upgrade to a new wife that supports PCI-E. (professional coitus interruptus- ejaculation)

  16. RE: I sold my wife and car... on NVIDIA Do-It-Yourself Quad SLI Launched · · Score: 2, Funny

    You sold your wife? Lucky man. Hell, I couldn't give mine away.

  17. Re:Oppurtunity on Google Shies Away from Digital Music Sales · · Score: 1

    If they did, it would be a very very interesting situation. Most upstart labels don't have the cash to even come close to competing with the Top Five, but Google might. It would be a mammoth expenditure of cash initially but by the time they got it up and running (and got a few major anti-DRM artists on their side) the world might be ready for it. Cool idea. Doubt we'll ever see it happen though.

  18. Not gonna happen. on YouTube Revives Failed Sitcom Pilot · · Score: 3, Funny

    They can't take the sky, but they sure as hell took the airwaves. Damn Fox.

  19. Re:Simple on What Brings Users to Blogs? · · Score: 1

    Or disagree with you, as the situation may be. ;)

  20. Bulletproof Laptop on Dell's Exploding Laptop Autopsy · · Score: 5, Informative

    It took me some creative digging, but I found what you were talkingabout. I remember seeing the article in Popular Mechanics a couple years back when it first came out. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/compute rs/1279251.html

  21. Re:Most other countries did it two centuries ago on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Water on Why Aren't Powergrids Underground? · · Score: 1
    It can actually cause wet concrete to basically act like a large shock plate. Not fun.
    Actually, given the right circumstances, that could be pretty darn fun. I can think of plenty of ways to use that.
  23. Re:My Dream Job: Game developer at EA on Test Drive Your Dream Job · · Score: 1

    Yes, but your vacation would be delayed at least twice.

  24. Re:Once upon a time on This Boring Headline is Written for Google · · Score: 1

    And they did spontaneous synchronized song and dance routines about how hungry and tired they all were. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104990/
