  1. Too bad... on Microsoft Retires Windows 98 · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was the best thing to happen to Linux.

  2. Is it voice activated? on Personal SUV of the Sky · · Score: 3, Funny

    I won't make the purchase unless I can lift off with a simple "go go gadget wings!"

  3. Re:Flashback: on Technology In Primary Education, Boon Or Bane? · · Score: 1

    What about Stephen Hawking?

  4. Re:Way cool... on X17 Solar Flare Sends 2B Tons of Plasma at Earth · · Score: 1

    Yeah, this a troll, but... An event like this did knock out power in Quebec in the past, and could damage all those satellites up there that give us cell phones and stuff like that.

  5. Re:I am rolling it out in a school on Vector Linux 4 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    There is no GNOME or Mozilla in Vector Linux.

  6. Great distro on Vector Linux 4 Reviewed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Runs comfortably on my P133 with 48 MB of RAM.

    Although I am curious what other modern distros will run on such a machine?

  7. Re:Don't you mean.... on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1

    Kind of ironic... Somewhere in the process, the e's had accents on them in the words "se" and "tek."

  11. Re:"Good riddance" I say! on Canada Splits Local Phone, DSL Services · · Score: 1

    You know, if you want people to take you seriously, tone down the Hitler stuff.

  12. Re:Rinux Pinux on Microsoft To License SCO's Unix Code · · Score: 1

    C'mon mods, appreciate!!!

  13. Re:Comparison on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 1

    Actually, I believe this is specific to vehicles... Vehicles sold in Canada are discounted $2000 or so because Canadians simply buy fewer cars. And that's why the import law is there. My memories fuzzy, but I saw an explanation of this on the CBC once.

  14. Related question... Coldness!! on Digital Cameras for Use in Tough Conditions? · · Score: 1

    Are there any digital cameras out there that are made to relatively cold temperatures? Pretty much every camera I see has 0 Celsius as its minimum operating temperature. I like taking pictures out in the snow, and it'd be nice to not void the warranty when taking it outside. Having said that, I had an old HP digital camera that I used in temperatures as cold as -30 and it worked fine for three years. It still works, but it's kinda flakey now. The one I used most is a Canon Powershot G2, and it has similar temperature specs. But I've been using it in the cold and it hasn't borked out on me yet.

  15. Amazon is right in this case on Amazon Calls Children's Privacy Complaint Groundless · · Score: 1

    I mean, even their toys aren't targeted toward kids.

    Ah, where are my mod points when I need them :)

  19. Re:OpenBSD on Talk It Over With Captain Crunch · · Score: 1

    Because it's as dead as his soul.

  20. Dupe poop on Sun Considers Opteron · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Continue on

  21. Re:Linux Call the Manufacturer Day on Sell Your Computers, Keep Paying MS For Licenses · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good idea... But if we call and get Adobe to port Photoshop to Linux, and no one buys it, what have we accomplished? If you're gonna call, only call if you will buy the ported software.

  22. Re:KURT ANGLE.. on Paypal Charged Under PATRIOT Act · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's true, it's true.

  23. Re:It's not really psychology on Psychology of a Programmer · · Score: 1

    Gee, now I feel bad being the co-op student who needs advice a couple times a day. I at least try to bug different people each time! :-)

  24. Re:Activism on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, because it's just you against one guy and one tank. Riiiiiiight.

  25. I'm pretty sure it's a reference to... on Welcome to the World of Quickies Entertainment · · Score: 3

    I think it's a reference to Jurassic 5's song World of Entertainment. And it's a damn fine song too.
