  1. Re:This Is Too Leinient For M$ on Microsoft Takes Responsibility For GPL Violation · · Score: 1

    If you really like to evangelize in this fashion you should know a far more effective use of your time would be to be playing Quake Live using Iceweasel on Debian right now so that ID will consider porting Rage to Linux when it comes out.

  2. obvious! on Microsoft Takes Responsibility For GPL Violation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    DUH! Easier to gain forgiveness than permission. We know Microsoft knows that well. There was always a chance nobody would notice. It makes me wonder how much other GPL code they've ripped off over the years without getting caught.

  3. Re:What the bets the first release will be... on Synthetic Stone DVD Claimed To Last 1,000 Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Then you have to spend eternity in North Dakota.

  4. OH NO!!! on Flash Vulnerability Found, Adobe Says No Fix Forthcoming · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone has found an issue with Flash?! Say it isn't so...

    So then this comment was modded insightful satirically?

  6. Re:Pay me or else? on How Vulnerable Is Our Power Grid? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually compared to a heater conventional fireplaces are remarkably inefficient and these days in modern homes are rarely installed for anything but decorative use. The bulk of the useable heat they generate is infra-red, which is quite effective if you are in line-of-site and within about 10 feet or so, but while lit the fire is blowing most its hot air (along with the smoke) right out a huge hole in the roof (the chimney) and sucking cold air in through every other hole, actually dramatically lowering the overall temperature of the house while in use and making a basically uninsulated hole in the ceiling at all other times.

  7. I taste like Cheetos on Swarm of Giant Jellyfish Capsize 10-Ton Trawler · · Score: 1

    Mmmmmm, cheddar jalapeno!

  8. hah, Circuit City (good riddance) on Journalists Looking For Government Money · · Score: 1

    *That* is true however so very rarely in human history has any organization or public entity shown so much clearly detestable behavior for so long with so little apparent attention paid to reconciliation and so little apparent capacity to enforce the their fascist regime as Circuit City. You might find the U.S. government a little bit better at holding their ground against public opinion because of, oh, I dunno ARMIES or something.

  9. Dear God man, but what does it DO!? on Element 114 Verified · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This could finally be the Bolognium we have all been waiting for!!

    Seriously though... what does it do?

    LONG LIVE AMIGA!! :)

  11. Re:6yrs.. turned into LIFE.. what a moron on Cyber-criminal Left In Charge of Prison Computer Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe he decided that with the depression taking it's toll on the outside world and all that getting "LIFE" in prison was the best job stability he could hope for.

  12. Re:Why FreeBSD on Debian Elevates KFreeBSD Port to First-Class Status · · Score: 1

    Mach should have died with Disco, sorry.

  13. Re:Linux vs. FreeBSD on Debian Elevates KFreeBSD Port to First-Class Status · · Score: 1

    Personally I'd say that if you're running the system as any type of firewall/router Packet Filter is reason enough.

  14. Dear Nintendo, on Wii Update 4.2 Tries (and Fails) To Block Homebrew · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Please stop making me cry.

    Sincerely,
    Your loyal non-modding customer.

    P.S. Please spend all this time and effort addressing the cheating hackers plaguing the Mario Kart Network instead.

  15. Re:Methinks on Gameboy Color Boot ROM Dumped After 10 Years · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Correct, sir. "Why?" is a dumb shit question to ask. "Why not?" is not as dumb but twice as rhetorical. "How much bigger did your cock get?" is the correct question to ask.

  18. Re:How about Nintendo? on The PS3's "Yellow Light of Death" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hmm. You're right there does not seem to be comparatively very many people out there complaining about dead Wii consoles. I wonder why that is...

  20. My bad. I farted. on Irish Astronomers Investigate Sky Explosion · · Score: 0, Troll

    It was too close to a campfire.

  21. First hand experience. on Hosting Data-Transfer Quotas Are Fading Out · · Score: 1

    Nobody ever believes that this would even be legal to do until it happens to them personally. After actually reading the terms of service on a couple of hosting plans that just sounded too good to be true in an effort to figure out how these companies were affording such cheap bandwidth I discovered the dirty secret. I tried to warn TWO friends (clients of two entirely separate companies) about this type of shady business going on in the economy hosting market but neither of them believed me until their accounts got cut off. The true shame is that honest companies are either sinking or being forced to play dirty too just to keep up because not enough consumers understand the difference between guaranteed and "guaranteed."

  25. Watermelon wine tastes TERRIBLE! on Watermelon Juice Makes Great Biofuel · · Score: 1

    I can attest first hand. I've made wine out of many odd things and watermelon is by far the worst. Just don't. It tastes bad, it looks bad, it smells bad.

    If you're looking for an ambitious but possibly tasty wine making fruit try pomegranate instead but really if you just want something that will taste good use welch's 100% grape juice or cran/grape combo.
