  1. 2001? on World of Warcraft Hits 10 Million Subscribers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    2004.

  2. Re:Lead by Example on Promoting FOSS to People Who Don't Care · · Score: 1

    What a lame way to get out of helping your friends with their computer problems. Odds are the problem they're having with Word or IE has been around long enough for you to have encountered it before you "didn't do windows/IE/MS-Office/etc anymore".

  3. No. on Microsoft's Biggest Threat - Google or Open Source? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    It won't be. Sorry.

  4. Yes on Should Wikipedia Allow Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't see why anyone besides the occasional Wikipedia purist of sorts would actually complain about this. It's convenient for proofs to be on there, and it's not like accurate information is degrading Wikipedia's "standards" at all.

  5. So... on Vista SP1 Release Candidate Available · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it worth installing?

  6. What? on 'w00t' Named 2007 Word of the Year · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I haven't seen anyone use "w00t" in about three years.

  7. Notification of neighbors on Online Sex Offender Database Leads To Murder? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wouldn't he have had to inform all of his neighbors within a certain radius that he was a sex offender, anyways? Or is that only for those convicted of molesting children?

  8. Annoyed on Linux To Take Over The Low-End PC Market? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I realize I should expect no less from an article on desktoplinux.com, but I'm extremely annoyed by comments like "Still, it won't be enough." I can just imagine a typical Linux fanboy laughing diabolically while typing it. While the article has valid points, comments like that are wishful thinking and immature conjecture.

  9. Did anyone else... on State of the Onion 11 · · Score: 1

    ...read it and think "State of The Onion"? And then become confused when they started talking about Perl?

  10. I'm confused. on Blast-Proof Fabric Resists Multiple Explosions · · Score: 5, Funny
    From TFA:

    The fabrics can ... be deployed in containment systems, military tents, ballistic mosquito nets and body armor, a $2 billionpret-a-porter market.
    What?
  11. Here's one! on DS Games for Pre-readers? · · Score: 5, Funny
  12. Why the shaking? on Sloshing Cellphones Reveal Their Contents · · Score: 1

    I understand frustration with cellphones, but why is it that every new method of doing something with them seems like it's going to involve shaking them?

  13. Link to possible intended story on Astronauts Hook Up Harmony in Lengthy Spacewalk · · Score: 1
  14. Adblock Plus + Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper on Facebook Users Complain of New Ad-Based Tracking · · Score: 1

    Adblock Plus and Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper will take care of those text ads or any element on a website you want to hide. I had already been using ABP but found the Element Hiding Helper just to get rid of those damned things.

  15. Re:It's thanksgiving on Turkey Day Chemistry in the Kitchen · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Generally very little mention is made of what happened next ...
    Except for every rebellious 15-year old that hates family gatherings, and self-righteous people on the internet. I acknowledge the fact that Native Americans were slaughtered, but I don't hesitate to enjoy time with my family and delicious turkey.
  16. Good. on UK Music Retailers Beg, Drop the DRM · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Good.

  17. Re:Preinstalled firefox? on Firefox 3 Beta 1 Review · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The vendors don't care because the consumers wouldn't, either.

  18. Re:They do worse things on China In the Habit of Copying and Redirecting US Sites? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes.

  19. Haha. on Star Trek Home Theater · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like the comment left on TFA: "now, the only thing left is to actually convince a human woman to go in there with you..."

  20. Re:DISCRETE on Overclocking the AMD Spider · · Score: 1

    Thanks - I always thought one was a misspelling of whichever one was the correct version of what I thought was only one word.

  21. Clearly I know absolutely nothing about this, but on EarthLink Says No Future for Municipal Wi-Fi · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When they make and win the bid, why aren't they legally obligated to follow through with it?

  22. Re:US military spending on People Believe NASA Funded As Well As US Military · · Score: 2, Funny

    I bring up the reality of what is happening in the US in common discussions with people.
    You must be that guy at work.
  23. Re:Walmart Lesson:Linux is Popular in Middle Ameri on Wal-Mart's $200 Linux PC Sells Out · · Score: 1

    Plain folks -- those not like you and me -- don't know what Linux is. They know they bought a reasonably functional $200 computer.

  24. nudity on Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott Gets Axed · · Score: 3, Funny

    he deemed himself the "chief indecent officer", came to work naked, and refused to let anyone not notice his lack of clothes lolololol

  25. Re:gaiaonline.org and habbo hotel! on What Are The Best Free Games Online? · · Score: 1

    due to AIDS.
