  1. Gun O'Clock on World's Biggest Alarm Clock Shakes You Out of Bed · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is nice and all, but I still prefer Gun O'Clock.

  2. Samy is my hero on Twitter Gets Slammed By the StalkDaily XSS Worm · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This sounds almost exactly like the Samy worm to me.

  3. I think we all want to know... on Slashdot's Setup, Part 1- Hardware · · Score: 1

    How many FPS in TuxRacer you can get on them. Sure, individually, probably not so good, but working together, you could probaly break the 1000 FPS mark if you're lucky.

  4. Re:obviously he is a idiot. on Intern Loses 800,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    Inadequate bandwidth, insufficient storage, unavailability of another suitable site etc.

    I don't work for any state government, but I think states have the power to overcome at least one of those issues.

  5. Downplaying the severity of it on Intern Loses 800,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    Using census data from 2000, it seems the stolen data includes social security numbers for 7.3% of the people in the entire state of Ohio. And the city police force has since offered a whopping $500 reward for the return of the data.

    You'd think the theft of tapes that have data that can completely ruin 800,000 people's lives would be worth a little more than $500. I also hope that "whopping" was in satire.

  6. Re:Scapegoat? Maybe, but he's still a moron. on Intern Loses 800,000 Social Security Numbers · · Score: 1

    The criminal element seems to be quite tech savvy these days

    Do you live on /.? Where I live, there's robberies, murders, and all types of non-tech related crimes all over the place. Hell, even a couple years ago, my dad's golf clubs got robbed when he left the garage door open when going out one night. The only reason these don't get the big headlines is because of the magnitude of them. 800,000 social security numbers stolen just has more of a kick to it than some 40 year old father having his golf clubs stolen.

    Of course, I live in Oakland County, Michigan, which is just on the outskirts of Detroit...

  7. Well this is stupid on SourceForge's Hottest Five Apps · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All they did was take the most active projects this week and commented on them.

    What was the point in this?

  8. Re:It's in the hands of the console companies on AO Rating Basically Bans Manhunt 2 From Release · · Score: 1

    I'm a gamer, not a violencer. Jack Thompson would say you're contradicting yourself. And also make fun of you for making up a word. I really think we should just do away with the AO rating. The M rating pretty much says the exact same thing.
  9. Re:So this case has nothing to do with nudity? on Google Wins Nude Thumbnail Legal Battle · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a strategy the /. editors are using trying to get more people to RTFA.

    I'm not falling for it though.

  10. Re:Wimps! on What is Your Favorite Way to Make Coffee? · · Score: 1

    I have holes in my lip and can't create any suction with my mouth you insensitive clod!

  11. Impossible task on University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt Returns · · Score: 2, Funny

    81. Genji 2 has shown us that the Oriental Institute lacks an exhibit on one of the famous battles that actually took place in Ancient Japan. Fix that. [29 points]
    The Giant Enemy Crab will be tough to do, but it'll still be possible. But how can they show the real-time weapon change?
  12. Re:360 and 180 on Microsoft set to Announce Zune 360 and 180 · · Score: 1

    NO WAI! Thank you Captain Obvious!

  13. Now /. is resorting to posting BS? on Subliminal Messages Might Actually Work · · Score: 2, Funny

    Whatever, I'm going out to buy some popcorn.

  14. Re:So let me get this straight... on MPAA Fires Back at AACS Decryption Utility · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lacky: "But sir! Wouldn't firing our lawyers out of cannons seriously injure them?"
    MPAA: "I SAID READY THE LAWYER CANNONS GODDAMMIT!"

  15. Re:Specifications? on Metalinks Tries to Simplify Downloads · · Score: 1

    Thank you, but where did you find these on the site? Also, what's with people using PDF files for stuff that could easily go into HTML files?

  16. Specifications? on Metalinks Tries to Simplify Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've looked around the site, and I've found no document for the specification of a metalink file. IMO, this will easily lead to many conflicts with different clients each having their own version of "Metalinks".

  17. Re:Aqua Teen Hunger Force sucks on Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Thank you for your insightful and totally on-topic reply Anonymous Coward! For you, I TURN MY CAPS LOCK KEY ON.

  18. I would understand 21, but 30? on 'Over 30' Section For Games Stores? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Yes, you're allowed to get drunk off your ass and purchase hardcore porno flicks, but you can't buy these video games."

  19. Re:Just Wait ... on Political Strife Erupts in Second Life · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure. I think the big media would favor exploding virtual pigs over nerds writing slightly vulgar messages in newsgroups to each other.

  20. "The Windows-only app" on "Series of Tubes" Metaphor Implemented · · Score: 1

    So much for advertising a new application on /. when more than half the userbase can't use it.

  21. Re:Install the latest service packs. on Workarounds for Vista's Networking Problems? · · Score: 1

    Yet your username is mac1235. If you care that much about games, why do you run on a Mac?

    Yes, I'm assuming that you run a Mac. What is your name supposed to mean?

  22. Why? on Microsoft Applies to Patent RSS in Vista · · Score: 1

    I fail to see any positive outcomes for any party for Microsoft patenting RSS for IE only. It's not like anybody else develops IE or something. The only way to infringe it would be to make a plugin for IE7 to do something it already does by itself.

  23. Re:"mainly software??" on Open Source Car on the Horizon · · Score: 1

    Really? You enjoy cars with no dashboard/power steering/anti-lock brakes/automatic transmission/fuel gage/speedometer/etc?

  24. Re:I wish it were 1984 again! on The 'EA Image' Tarnished · · Score: 1

    Still, I'd take EA's current state over being haunted by Big Brother again...

  25. I have the answer right here: on Foundation Commissions $50 Million Online Study · · Score: 1

    Porn.
