  1. Oh no! on DNA So Dangerous It Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    Run! It's the antichrist!

  2. One ring... on Second Life Hit By Massive In-Game Worm · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

  3. License on Windows Media Player 11 Released · · Score: 1

    What about its license? I haven't bothered with WMP since version 9 because of ridiculous requirements. Something along the line of having to allow MS to scan my HD, I think. Until they release a version of WMP with a less intrusive license, I'll stick to MPC, thankyouverymuch.

  4. Re:In related news on McAfee Blames Open Source for Botnets · · Score: 1

    Interent? Is that like a mediator, but for ents? Great, now it takes even longer for two ents to say "hello" to each other...

    *ducks*

  5. Ha ha! on Jupiter Gets New Red Spot · · Score: 1

    *points*
    Jupiter's got a hicky, Jupiter's got a hicky!

  6. Re:Channel name on Symantec Users, Start Your Keyloggers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or setting your nick to startkeylogger..

  7. Sounds more like... on Florida Voting Machine Logs Reveal Anomalies · · Score: 1

    Theresa LePew to me.

  8. Four cores good on Quad Core Chips From Intel and AMD · · Score: 1

    Four cores good, two cores baaaad!

  9. Leap ahead... on Intel's New Slogan Clarified · · Score: 1

    Backward user.

  10. Re:The Island on Get RSS Feeds on Your Toilet Paper · · Score: 5, Funny

    You mean splashdotted.

  11. The enemy... on Microsoft Joins Yahoo! Book Search Plan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    Well, friend... We -are- talking about Microsoft here. I'm wondering when Yahoo will find MS's knife in its back.

  12. arms race on Rootkit Creators Turn Professional · · Score: 5, Funny

    So now we can wait for the AV vendors to come up with a rootkit detector detector detector..

  13. Re:I hope they clone a Neanderthal on Neanderthal Genome to be Sequenced · · Score: 1

    From that wikipedia link: "Compared to modern humans, Neanderthals were larger in size".

  14. 20/20 on Firefox nears 50 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    your most amazing spectacles

    Sorry, I just got contacts.

  15. component-based on Clash of the Open Standards · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Would it be feasible to define some standard groups of clauses for topics so you could just plug them together as components to get an actual license? Then you could just pick one out of several options for copying restrictions. Or if that's not possible, at least try to standardise it in some way. It'd make licenses a lot easier to read.

    But of course, IANAL, so there's probably a very good reason why this hasn't been done. Or maybe it has and I'm just ignorant :)

  16. Re:Don't count on it on CSS Support IE 7.0's Weakest Link · · Score: 5, Funny

    The public perception of the IE's security has declined.

    You mean it's improved, right?

  17. Re:Sounds great! on Wisconsin Governor Proposing Tax On Downloads · · Score: 1

    Another reason not to cap your bitTorrent upload ;)

  18. Drawing canvas on Instant Messaging Goes Graphical · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, what I'd -really- like to see is a "shared" canvas, where you can both just doodle on. Sometimes a quick picture, even if it's just a few lines, says more than a thousand words.

  19. Re:Mencoder rocks on MPAA Prevails Against 321 Studios' DVD X Copy · · Score: 1

    Oh! So you're the guy who's been seeding all the seasons of The Simpsons with BitTorrent, huh? Thanks!

  20. Re:Flash Blocker? on ArsTechnica Explains O(1) Scheduler · · Score: 1

    http://www.squarefree.com/userstyles/xbl.html has some info on setting this up in Mozilla. The nice thing about this method is that you'll actually get a clickable button. The flash animation doesn't show up until you click it.

    Or you can go to http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html where you can find bookmarklets that clean up a page after it's loaded. Very handy :)

  21. Obligatory on SCO's Plan Examined · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    All your branch are belong us!

  22. Re:It's a porno AND a tissue. on Paper Capable Of Playing Videos Developed · · Score: 1, Funny

    Watch out for those nasty paper cuts though, or you might just end up giving yourself a circumcision :)

  23. Tough luck on 2191.78 Years for the RIAA to Sue Everyone · · Score: 1

    Tough luck for those whose last name begins with an 'A'. Mine begins with an 'M', so I should be safe for about another millennium... :)

  24. Oh, the humanity! on State of the Onion 7 · · Score: 5, Funny
    If you feed one of these diagrams to a black hole, it turns into a piece of spaghetti.

    But let's not, and say we did.



    For God's sake, give this man back his caffeine!
  25. How about... on Has GNOME Become LAME? · · Score: 1

    LAME as in Lewd Alliance of Midgets Everywhere..? :)
