    Yeesh.

  6. Re:Not a bad idea on Police Shame Pranksters On YouTube · · Score: 1

    Now why should fly tipping be a crime? If you have the skill and sneakiness to catch a fly off its guard and knock it over on it's side, then bravo!

    It is like cow tipping, right?

  7. Re:Assuming that Google could reach consciousness on Are We Searching Google, Or Is Google Searching Us? · · Score: 1

    Any average couch potatoe...

    Dan Quayle, that's the smartest thing you've ever said!

  8. Re:You answered your own question on Software Price Gap Between the US and Europe · · Score: 1

    If you had any pounds sterling or euros left over after you bought the software, maybe you could purchase extra u's and s's to make you feel more comfortable with the Americanized spellings.

  9. Re:May his children come to fully understand on "Last Lecture" CMU Professor Randy Pausch Dies · · Score: 4, Funny

    Romanus eunt domus!

  10. Re:Tried to fire him? on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 1

    I believe Darth Vader disbanded the Jedi Union single-handedly, leading to Yoda and Gen. Kenobi collecting Mitichlorian Welfare.

  11. Re:My take on Movie Review, Hellboy II · · Score: 1

    The comics are very good. The characters are well developed and Mignola weaves the plots with semi-obscure mythos and lore.

    I love it!

  12. My take on Movie Review, Hellboy II · · Score: 1

    As a fan of the Mike Mignola comics and the first movie, this movie just seemed like a pale imitation of the Hellboy I envision. It had its good moments, but there are far more interesting stories in the comics to adapt to film.

    More Hecate and Baba Yaga, less pseudo-Tolkien Elf lore!

  13. Re:ER, non-story on Apple Cracks Down On iPhone Unlockers · · Score: 1

    AFAIK there's not even a word to identify yourself as a "United Kingdomer"

    Wrong, you limey.

  14. Re:Responsibility? on Proposed Legislation Would Outlaw "Cyberbullying" in US · · Score: 1

    True, but at least they're nice to look at!

  15. TFA is wrong on ET Will Phone Home Using Neutrinos, Not Photons · · Score: 5, Funny

    Everyone knows ET used trees, the wind, some string, a coat hangar, a record player and a speak'n'spell to communicate.

    Duh.

  16. Re:Catch 22 on Online Quiz As a Gateway to P2P · · Score: 1

    Don't you see, passing this test means you're now in the Syndicate!

    You download movies from KaZaa, trade them for mp3's on Limewire which you then use to barter for porn on the DirectConnect hub! And the best part is, everyone gets a share!

  18. Re:AM2+ vs AM2 on AMD's Triple-Core Phenom X3 Processor Launched · · Score: 3, Informative
    So sayeth Wikipedia:

    AMD confirmed that AM2 processors will work in AM2+ motherboards and AM2+ processors will work on AM2 motherboards. However, due to the lack of support of HyperTransport 3.0 and separated power planes in Socket AM2 motherboards, AM2+ chips will be limited to the specifications of Socket AM2 (HyperTransport 2.0 at the speed of 1 GHz, one power plane for both Cores and IMC). AM2 chips will not benefit from faster HyperTransport and separated power planes on AM2+ motherboards as they do not support them, AM2+ motherboard then fall back to compatibility mode using AM2 specifications.
  19. The Unfortunate Fate of Traffic James on MS Clearflow To Help Drivers Avoid Traffic Jams · · Score: 5, Funny

    Aye, 'tis been a while since I heard the name of the Hound of the Highway, Traffic James.

    Jim Axelman was once an ordinary man. He had a wife, three kids, even a Labrador retriever named Buddy. But his life was changed forever as he drove to work on fateful day. You see, he was trying to change lanes while talking on his cell phone and jamming out to some Led Zeppelin playing on the classic cock station when he unfortunately cut off a Gypsy minivan-mom. The Gypsy, being a member of the same PTA as Jim, knew who he was and cursed his name to the Heavens. Since that day, he's been forced to drive the streets.

    His blinkers never work. If you're in a hurry, he slows you down. If you're not rushed, he tailgates. He can't stop for food or bathroom breaks, his odometer never changes. He forever wanders the Earth in his dark blue Geo Metro.

    It's been said that some nights, on an empty country road.... you can still hear the a never-ending play of Kashmir on the wind.

  20. Re:Funny that on Young Employees Pose Increasing Risk to Networks · · Score: 1

    We exist in a limbo where software is both authorized and unauthorized.

    It's kinda like the Matrix but with Thundercats.

  21. Oh lord on Saturn's A-ring Soaks Up Debris Ejected from Nearby Moon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Let the goatse jokes..... BEGIN!

  22. Re:Can I bill Microsoft/Apple/RedHat/etc for patch on Time-Warner Considers Per-Gigabyte Service Fee, After iTunes · · Score: 1

    If you have enough machines in one location that monthly MS patching could put you over your bandwidth limit by a substantial amount, perhaps you should look into a WSUS server. One download to the server and clients can pull it locally all day long.

    Tada!

  23. Re:Check your summary please! on The 700mhz Spectrum Auction In Perspective · · Score: 1

    They're clearly tlaking about the FCC auction of the 700 megaberts range. One megaberts being equal to one million of Bert from Sesame Street.

    That's alot of pigeons. :x

  24. My experience on Corporate Email Etiquette - Dead or Alive? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My experience in the defense industry has shown me that long, full-quote e-mails are often useful for defending yourself against another's incompetence.

  25. Atari 2600 on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    My dad's Atari 2600 in 1983. I couldn't play it well until I was five, but it cleared the trail for a long list of consoles I would later play. Yar's Revenge is STILL my favorite game.

    As for PC gaming, my dad let me play casino gmaes on an Apple IIe. I liked watching the ANSI (dunno what else to call it) horses run. :3
