  1. Re:God no! on Rethinking Rail Travel: Boarding a Moving Train · · Score: 1

    Turn the goddamn thing off and bob's your uncle.

    So if I turn off my computer, I get a cybernetic organism with a highly advanced CPU as an uncle? I thought the point was to get away from technology!

  2. Re:Perfect! on AT&T Stops T-Mobile Merger Bid With the FCC · · Score: 1

    James Earl Jones is gonna have a problem with you.

  3. Re:If the PC is new enough on Whither the Portable Optical Drive? · · Score: 1

    Lol! I don't understand why this was modded Funny (but I'm not complaining ;-). Using a bootloader on a CD to boot a USB seems counterproductive (why not just boot the CD itself?), but a USB is far faster than a CD.

  4. I don't know... on Secure Syslog Replacement Proposed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Text is damn convenient to use. How are you gonna grep a binary file?

  5. Oblig. xkcd on Lost Russian Mars Probe Phones Home · · Score: 2
  6. That's a very nice product you've got there... on 88-Year-Old Inventor Hassled By the DEA · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...it'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it!

  7. Re:S3 ViRGE on ITC Rules Apple Does Not Infringe S3 Graphics Patents · · Score: 2

    No. It doesn't have anything to do with this. But yeah, I own and still use an S3 ViRGE. It's not a bad card for regular 2D stuff.

  8. Re:Perspectives on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 1

    Mrs. Roberts? Is that you?

  9. Re:Perspectives on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 0

    Hello I am King Shakalaka of Nigeria I NEED your IP Address to Complete the transaction of $7.5 Billion dollars to my account!

  10. Re:Computer science != IT jobs on How To Get Into an Elite Comp-Sci Program · · Score: 1

    WHOOOOSH....

  11. Re:US is the problem on Copyright Isn't Working, Says EU Technology Chief Neelie Kroes · · Score: 1

    Well, in that case, the companies can't bitch about people pirating their media overseas if those people can't legally purchase that media.

  12. Re:If the PC is new enough on Whither the Portable Optical Drive? · · Score: 2

    Magic! Or butterflies! Take your pick. :-)

  13. Re:SecuROM? on Whither the Portable Optical Drive? · · Score: 1

    but do SecuROM gimped games work with USB attached optical drives? I could see that as a major inhibitor to a lot of people.

    I'm sure TPB has some great fixes for that problem. ;-)

  14. Re:If the PC is new enough on Whither the Portable Optical Drive? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then all you need to do is burn a bootloader like PLoP to a CD and use it to boot the USB drive.

  15. Re:Data vs Logic on Study Says Quantum Wavefunction Is a Real Physical Object · · Score: 1

    I am not a physicist, but if the quantum wave function is a physical object, then couldn't it be subject to the Copenhagen interpretation? This would mean that the existence of FTL neutrinos would be dependent on the observed state of the physical quantum wave function.

    Please, don't kill me. I already told you I'm not a physicist.

  16. Re:!Now on Dual-Core Android PC Now Comes On a USB Stick · · Score: 2

    Well, the specs are better than Raspberry Pi. It really depends on the target audience.

  17. What next? on Toronto School Bans Hard Balls · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will they ban pencils, because they can be sharpened into "stabbing weapons?"

  18. Why does Mike Lynch... on Computing Pioneers Share Their First Tech Memories · · Score: 1

    look like John Carroll Lynch? A relation, perhaps?

  19. Re:More Specifically Aimed at Chinese Fur Farms on Mario's Raccoon Suit Enrages PETA · · Score: 2

    Damn right! To add to the good news, Stephen Colbert wanted to rename Kentucky to "Land Hawaii" a while ago!

  20. Re:Wait for Ivy Bridge. on Intel Launches Sandy Bridge-E Series Processors · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our Terminator overlords!

  21. Google should just buy the RIAA! on Google Music Downloads To Go Ahead Without Sony Or Warner · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The RIAA is relatively small. Google should just buy the entire thing.

  22. Re:Clash of the distributions on Linux Mint: the New Ubuntu? · · Score: 2

    This is a major difference between BSD and Linux. BSD development/maintenance is very structured, whereas Linux is very organic. This allows each to achieve different goals---Linux undoubtedly has better support for newer hardware, whereas BSD is a very stable product.

  23. Re:Talk about a knee-jerk reaction on Linux Mint: the New Ubuntu? · · Score: 2

    I call that the Firefox Effect.

  24. Well, duh! on Logitech Calls Google TV a 'Big Mistake' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Google products are in perpetual beta!

  25. Re:Real men use ... on Linux Mint: the New Ubuntu? · · Score: 2

    Arch isn't bad either. I personally use ArchBang.
