  1. I for one... on Scientists Levitate Mice for NASA · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...welcome our new mouse-levitating scientific overlords.

  2. Re:OT - your sig on Steve Ballmer Directing "House Party 7" · · Score: 1

    Correct and a commendable sig, but your use of "loose" is an adjective, and there is also a verb "loose"; e.g. "Cry havoc and loose the dogs of war". I had a sig once that read "if you loose your money you are unwise. If you lose your money you are unlucky."

    Using "Loose" when one means "lose" can inhibit communication because both words are verbs that mean completely different things.

    Agreed, 100%.

  3. Maybe the question should be... on Steve Ballmer Directing "House Party 7" · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...what could possibly go right? That would at least set the correct expectations.

  4. Only a matter of time on Coder of Swiss Wiretapping Trojan Speaks Out · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think that a reasonably informed person could expect that this sort of thing could be kept bottled up for very long.

  5. Re:Only On Slashdot on Avatar, Has Sci-fi Found Its Heaven's Gate? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Where District 9 is already as great as Star Wars and a movie that's not even out sucks.

    And Joss is actually thought of as a creative genius.

  6. Scope creep? on FBML Essentials · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The author, Jesse Stay has accomplished something many projects and authors can't seem to avoid, scope creep.

    I'm not sure that scope creep is a praiseworthy accomplishment.

  7. Miss Moneypenny? on Woman Unable To Recognize Voices, Unless It's Sean Connery · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ish that you?

  8. The sky is falling... on Economic Crisis Will Eliminate Open Source · · Score: 1

    Or not. I'm sure there will be some casualties (there always are), but I don't think that this is the end of the (FOSS) world as we know it. You gotta love the Chicken Littles, though.

  9. Corrected quote on House Dems Turn Out the Lights On the GOP · · Score: 4, Funny

    'This is the lobbyists' House,'

    I think that's closer to what he was trying to say.

  10. Re:Let the Grammar Nazi flame thread begin here on Legendary Thinks Outside "The Box," Hits Pre-Release · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because I would rather a world where the game with the giant golems and rabid werewolves, with griffins soaring in the sky while vast mythological beasts known down skyscrapers, be excellent."

    It's like chumming the water.

  11. Re:Two camps on this movie on Movie Review, Hellboy II · · Score: 1

    Oh, the irony...

    I do have to agree with your sentiment, though. English dubbing is the rough equivalent of road kill: sure, it's easier to handle, but it's just nothing like the original.

  12. Re:what? on The Next Browser Scripting Language Is — C? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I heard that COBOL is next on the TODO list.

  13. Re:I for one... on Scientists Create Synthesized DNA Bases · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Island of Dr. Moreau called; they want their genetic manipulation with unintended consequences back. I told the caller to take a number.

  14. Re:If it weren't for Python, sure on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    You might want to try and actually read my post. I never said that whitespace in Python was 'hard'. I said it was 'anal-retentive'. I guess English really is hard.

  15. Re:If it weren't for Python, sure on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Anal-retentive use of whitespace counts as 'fun'? That's a definition of the word 'fun' I wasn't previously aware of.

  16. Re:A price on it on Berners-Lee Claims Web "Still In Infancy" · · Score: 1

    The internet is international, which is after all what "inter" is shoort for (international network).

    You really are new here. The 'inter' in Internet does not mean 'international'. Internet is short for internetwork, i.e., a network of different networks.

  17. Re:Uh...can I get it without the "AppleTV", please on What an $18,000 Home Theater Looks Like · · Score: 1

    Impossible, because there is NOTHING cooler.

    I really hadn't thought of the computer for blue-haired old ladies as cool, but whatever floats your boat.

  18. Re:Baby black hole on Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Found In Omega Centauri · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just about anything, really.

  19. Re:Oblig 50's quote slighytly edited. on Endeavour Crew to Assemble Giant Robot, in Space · · Score: 1

    Dextre baratta nikto!

  20. Radar men on New Radar Maps of Moon · · Score: 1

    I think their radar map was messed with by the Radar Men from the Moon.

  21. When LOLcats attack on Giant Sheets Of Dark Matter Detected · · Score: 1, Funny

    We r in ur universe, messin with ur drk mattr sheetz.

  22. Re:I guess free market means bribes on Sony Paid Warner Bros. $400 Million to Go Blu-Ray? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    (2) The amount of money Sony just sent is proof that Blue-Ray sucks.

    BS.

    The HD-DVD camp did the very same thing, yet where is the moral outrage? Hypocrisy is alive and well on /.

  23. Re:Juicy NSA Conspiracy, continued... on EFF Names 2008 Pioneer Award Winners · · Score: 1

    Spy central is in the tunnel? Your office/cube is over said tunnel? Otherwise, you might be in the center of spy central. In either case, I would recommend looking for new employment...

  24. Re:Energy from water... on New Solar Cell Harvests Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 1

    Soylent hydrogen is...water!

  25. The good old days on The History of the Apple II as a Gaming Platform · · Score: 4, Informative

    That brings back memories of junior high school, and playing cracked versions of various arcade games (complete with signature opening screens) on the school's Apple //e machines. Not to mention 'hacking' the 5-1/4 SS floppies to get cheap DS usage. While today's games are certainly graphically superior, in many ways they've gotten to be somewhat pedestrian compared to the excitement of playing Dig Dug or Conan on the green monitors.
