  1. Its hardware BITS! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    A byte is 8 bits and a byte means 256 in base-2. There is only 9 b10 objects here so that means there is 1001 b2 hardware objects here, which is 4 bits.

    So this means there are 1001 hardware bits.

  2. yeah RIGHT by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    I won't go over that issue here but I would like to state neither I nor Inside-hardware condone or approve the use of peer-to-peer file sharing.

    Either this guy is a little dense or he's lying through his teeth.

    Peer-to-peer file sharing is not immoral or illegal, it's only certain files (and I'd say that's just illegal, not immoral).

    Personaly, I'm going to take a stand against CD-R's. I don't condone the use of CD-Rs or burners.

    feh.

  3. LANParty... by Kunta+Kinte · · Score: 4, Funny
    Kunta's rule to partying...

    If it doesn't have chicks and beer, then it's not a party.

    "LANGathering" maybe, or "LANGet-together" why not, but I'm sorry it's not a party.

    The geek subculture is cool and all but still.

    Although strictly speaking it is a "party" I'd say the name should be changed lest some poor soul wonders into one of those things expecting to get laid.
