  1. Re:My take? on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Take On Stand-Up Desks? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe you should try laying down or get some sort of ceiling-mounted harness...

  2. How does this differ from the 2nd edition? on CSS Pocket Reference · · Score: 1

    The 2nd edition of this book already covered CSS2 and CSS2.1. It says so right on the cover. How about a pocket reference that covers CSS3 -- and a widely-used browser that supports it well.

  3. Re:What? on Sore Thumbs and Texting · · Score: 1

    See... That - among other reasons - is why I don't live in New Zealand.

  4. This is bad. on The OpenBSD 3.4 Song: Theo Sings Back-up · · Score: -1, Troll

    ... and just when you thought bsd couldn't get anymore homosexual.

    "Hey!! Let's write stupid songs based on our mascot. Doesn't that sound like a winner?"

    Meanwhile, back in Redmond...

    Bill Gates laughs hysterically and then goes back to swimming in his pool filled with $100 bills.

    Trust me... I've seen it.

  5. What the hell are you thinking?! on Bay of Souls · · Score: 3, Funny

    Do you know how many lonely geeks' eyes lit up when you wrote "sexual tigress"?

    You can't do that to them, it gives them too much false hope.

    *sigh*

  6. Science Documentaries on Sci-Fi Movies and 'Bad Science' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I was gonna make a joke to illustrate a point that most people would see something entertaining that may not be real rather than some science documentary on say PBS. Then I realized that this whole site is filled with nerds that like that sort of thing.

    I might as well shut up because the opinions of the community here are always expressed in "reality" (i.e. Linux domination over Windows, this issue of real vs. entertaining, and the ever popular CowboyNeal presidential candidacy).

    I'll probably go see one of these "fake" sci-fi movies this weekend. At least I don't have a date with my Linux box.

    odyrithm (ody@netrux.demon.co.uk) is really proving himself to be a jackass. The following is an email sent to me from him (03/07/03 14:19) entitled "moi":

    I would say it just to watch you break your own face. =)

    Maybe you should spell/grammar/case/sense check your comments before posting them.

  10. GORT on Robot Hall of Fame · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I nominate GORT!!

  11. Simpsons on Brad Templeton On Spam's Silver Anniversary · · Score: 4, Funny

    His story reminds me of how Abe Simpson (Grandpa Simpson) tells stories...

    "I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. 'Give me five bees for a quarter', you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah...the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war; the only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."

  12. /. Nerds on Oregon Bill Would Require Open Source Consideration · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can picture the eyes of thousands of Linux nerds light up as they see "open source software" and then realize how close Oregon is to Redmond, WA. Why else would we get all these stupid comments about Bill Gates in a open source software thread?

  13. Lameness factor on Oregon Bill Would Require Open Source Consideration · · Score: 1

    How lame is it that they don't even consider using open source software? Sounds like they know too much. =)

    See? This hot hellhole we call Arizona does serve a purpose.

  16. Idaho on Potato Bazookas · · Score: 4, Funny

    Somewhere in Idaho, a potato farmer and his family are rejoicing.

  17. "Fast" Hard Drives on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did anyone actually go look at the drive listed? It's a 5400 rpm drive. My grandma can remember information faster than that.

  18. Hard Drives Size Increased on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 0, Funny

    I doubt anyone else noticed this- but today is the first day where mass storage is available (according to pricewatch). There are several stores now selling 12GB hard drives models for only $250 shipped. This is truly an amazing milestone for those of us who ran out of space downloading Yanni mp3s. I just can't wait for the days when hard drives are replaced by women. Pretty women.

  19. Re:Linux must run MS Office to sell to the masses on Linux in the Workplace · · Score: 1

    I'm not a Linux user, nor do I advocate Linux at all (I personally don't like it), but StarOffice is very, very similar to MS Office. If you don't believe me, go get yourself a copy of StarOffice (I can't remember if it's still free) and install it on your computer. I think the "average Windows user" would have no problem transitioning from MS Office to StarOffice.

  20. Re:Wouldn't most people understand beer better? on Linux in the Workplace · · Score: 1

    I like the ice cream example better. It makes more sense.

  21. Re:Photoshop is not much more expensive than PSP on Linux in the Workplace · · Score: 1

    Photoshop Elements? What a joke!! Yeah, and my moped can kick the crap out of a Ducati SS800. Have you even used Photoshop Elements?

    Real Photoshop is $610 per seat unless you want to get into volume licensing.

  22. Re:Duct Tape! on Modding A Paper Shredder · · Score: 1

    Red was not the coolest person on that show I'm afraid. It's all about Harold and his section of the show about teenagers. Did anyone see the episode when he was trying to start a rock band?
