    Hey, do you do voodoo, too?

  2. Re:Wrong Title, Wrong summary on German Health Insurance Card CA Loses Secret Key · · Score: 1

    Some Germans are rather sensitive, aren't they? They'd better not talk to VW owners in the US.

  3. Re:Whining on 6 Reasons To License Software Under the (A/L)GPL · · Score: 0, Redundant

    And then, they whine some more. I mean, will it ever stop?

    Why they have to whine so much? WHY WHY WHY?!

  4. Whining on 6 Reasons To License Software Under the (A/L)GPL · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh God! I hate whining bastards! They just WHINE WHINE WHINE!

  5. Re:Tyson on Tomorrow's Science Heroes? · · Score: 1

    I like the dude. But for kids, a loudmouth Jew like Feynman would be more effective.

  6. Re:FreeNX on Google Releases Open Source NX Server · · Score: 3, Funny

    BASH, Expect, C ... sounds suspiciously like the hairballs I cooked up back when I was slaving away with sysadmin monkey duties.

  7. Cringley noise on Microsoft vs. Google — Mutually Assured Destruction · · Score: 1

    The dude probably knows a thing or two about useless noise.

    Yeah, but they make it up with dupes.

    Your tinfoil hat is too tight - loosen it two notches.

    Put down that nacho. Now!

    Hm... How many fatsos does it take to make a pig fly?

    Makes me hungry.

  11. Get the fu on How To Teach Programming To Kids, Via XBox · · Score: 1

    Kids these days. Back in my days ... well, I'm too senile to continue. You guys finish this off.

  12. Re:reentrancy on Retired Mainframe Pros Lured Back Into Workforce · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that pack of tampons or you'd be sorry.

  13. Re:Language gender on Retired Mainframe Pros Lured Back Into Workforce · · Score: 1

    Heh :-) That thing taste like sucking on charcoal. But then there is this another one called Lagavulin.

    It's amazing how far acquired taste can stretch.

  14. Re:Global warming? on Researchers Enable Mice To Exhale Fat · · Score: 1

    You've been livin in cave or something? The Chinese beat us to it! There is the Hunan Village serving take-out Kung-Pao Penguin!

  15. Re:The purpose of Fat on Researchers Enable Mice To Exhale Fat · · Score: 1

    Really. Fat serves purpose - stores energy for later use, insulates in cold, and is essential to produce those feel-good brain chemicals. The problem you fat asses have with fat is entirely a problem of you being a lazy, do-nothing, sit-on-yo-ass-all-day fat ass, fat ass!

    Ok, I'm back.

    The point is, highland malt is it. Unless you want that smokey peaty stuff.

  17. Language gender on Retired Mainframe Pros Lured Back Into Workforce · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You know how Cobol is uber verbose? Guess who were programming way back when: female secretaries.

    You see C with its almost autistic terseness? Who are using it? Buncha (male) nerds who can't talk.

    What's my point?

    I'll tell you after my next shot.

    How much Scotch do I need to drink before I become an honorary Scot?

  18. Send them all to Eastern Turkestan on Chinese "Web Addicts" Get Boot Camp, Therapy · · Score: 1

    Let the Han kids and the Uighur kids duke it out on some deserted corner of Xinjiang. That'll teach them. Maybe they'll even come with some ideas to help their parents sort things out.

  19. Re:Finally we get our bailout on Recovery.gov To Get $18 Million Redesign · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is why we can't have nice things?

  20. Counterexample on Recovery.gov To Get $18 Million Redesign · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They've better not "improve" it like they are doing it to slashdot.

    If Jesus does an ad for Jewish cemetery, it's still an ad.

  22. Re:A fool and his money are some party on Pickens Calls Off Massive Wind Farm In Texas · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bending down to pick up the soap in prison probably is a mistake, too. What's your point?

  23. Re:A fool and his money are some party on Pickens Calls Off Massive Wind Farm In Texas · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Taking a bet that fails isn't necessarily a mistake.

  24. Re:Bad Summary on US Finalizes Stem Cell Research Guidelines · · Score: 1

    Mod this puppy up.

    Much basic research is funded publicly, but when it comes to medical research, fogetabatit. Check out the federal budget for science research, and see the proportion for NIH. DARPA, NASA, etc. can't hold a candle.

  25. Re:No Really Definite Confirmation of This Yet on Microsoft Puts C# and the CLI Under "Community Promise" · · Score: 1

    Same deal between .net and Mono, is the point. Anything dealing with system services will throw you a snag.
