  1. Re:Death of Slashdot? on Illinois Politician Wants a Kill Switch For Anonymous Speech Online · · Score: 1

    Anyway, I though Slashdot died years ago, around the same time that I joined.... Oh.

  2. Ski Free on Why a Linux User Is Using Windows 3.1 · · Score: 1

    Enough said.

  3. Re:Modern 120Hz+ HDTVs on Hobbit Film Underwhelms At 48 Frames Per Second · · Score: 1

    Dejudder. Turn it off, and all will be well.

  4. Re:knowledge is power on Ask Slashdot: How To Deal With Refurbed Drives With Customer Data? · · Score: 2

    Myth. You are aware that hard drives contain rare earth magnets, right?

  5. Re:This is getting ridiculous... on Engineers Create World's Lightest Material · · Score: 1

    Michael Dell sells company, house, and family and goes all in to invest in said material.

  6. Re:Don't buy one! on Work Underway To Finally Build Babbage's Analytical Engine · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but can you imagine a beowulf cluster of these things?

  7. Re:Unlikely on Opportunities From the Twilight of Moore's Law · · Score: 2

    I may be wrong, but I thought Moore's law was specifically referring to the manufacturing process, and not performance. So, Moore's law can retire and performance can still improve. They're not mutually exclusive.

  8. No, Mr. Bond... on Designer Creates "Euthanasia Roller Coaster" · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, Mr. Bond... I expect you to ride.

  9. Re:While I want to call Flash out ... on Adobe Releases Flash 11 and AIR 3 · · Score: 1

    I think Adobe will soon be slipping in presidential flashcards, as they get more and more desperate.

  10. Re:European Starlings on Wild Parrots Learning To Talk From Escaped Pet Birds · · Score: 1

    Wish I had some mod points (haven't seen them in a long time); that's interesting stuff :)

  11. Re:Why.... on Do You Want Best Buy Opening Your New Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Vostros are still better built than Inspirons, Dell's true consumer line. Vostros are more of a "prosumer" or "home/business" class laptop. I bought one for my wife that is still going very strong almost 3 years after purchasing it. Nothing is loose or falling apart. Meanwhile, friends and associates who bought Inspirons (I warned them) are experiencing build-quality issues right and left. But, buy a Dell Latitude, or Lenovo Thinkpad T-series, or HP Elitebook, or Panasonic Toughbook if you want a laptop to last.

  12. Stop that, stop that... on Monty Python Members Reunite For Chapman Film · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... much too silly. Right! Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do, expect perhaps my wife... and some of her friends. Oh, yes, and Captain Johnson. Come to think of it, most people like a good laugh more than I do, but that's beside the point. Now! Let's have clean, healthy commenting.

  13. Restless leg syndrome... on USB Foot Controls · · Score: 1

    My restless leg syndrome might cause the controls to go haywire and open undesirable websites, though.

  14. Re:Ask Steve Jobs on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Choose a Windows Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Steve would just say he's holding her wrong.

  15. Re:Any 'learning' bots? on StarCraft AI Competition Results · · Score: 1

    It's just a matter of getting the bot to play tic-tac-toe against itself. Unfortunately, it may not see the point of engaging in any "war" games after that.

  16. Groundhog Day response on Researchers Say Women Secretly Desire Hairy Geeks · · Score: 1

    Me... me... me... me, also... this is a man we're talking about, right?

  17. Napster on dial-up on Patent Issued For Podcasting · · Score: 2, Funny

    I got one song a week. Does that count?

  18. Re:Driving While Asian on Bad Driving May Have Genetic Basis · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine in Hawaii told me once, 'sure, the natives are horrible drivers. But, just a few generations ago, they were eating each other, so there's been a lot of progress.'

  19. 3... 2... 1... on Leap Second To Be Added Dec 31, 2008 · · Score: 3, Funny

    3 2 1 jokes in 3... 2... 1... 1...

  20. Re:Balin on Anatomy of the First Video Game, Born 1958 · · Score: 1

    Sounds about as fun as a bucket of warm spit.

  21. Leonid Yaroslavsky? on Seeing With Your Skin? · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, pr0n watches you?

  22. Re:So... on Smart Contact Lenses · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just hope these lenses don't render the current glaucoma testing method obsolete. I love having a blast of compressed air shot at hurricane speeds directly into my wide-open eyeball. That crap makes my year.

  23. Re:Who knew on Scientists Solve Riddle of Toxic Algae Blooms · · Score: 1

    OK but, after yesterday's article, now I'm wondering how much phosphorus (if any) is in lime.... Sorry, too lazy to look it up.

  24. Re:Well he knows now, announcing it on Slashdot on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    Hey, Dad, about that new car you promised me...

  25. Don't fart in an Aeron on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You, and everyone around you, will regret it.
