  1. Re:OK, who has both? on Robosapien V2 Review - with Video · · Score: 1

    ...and they fight, who wins?

    Clearly it's Partical Man.

  2. Re:Don't forget Prodigy! on The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time · · Score: 1

    Most BBS's were tons of fun and not too shabby. I sort of miss the BBS days, but then I think most people miss things that they did when they were growing up.

    Try this. BBSing like it's 1989 all over again. :-)

  3. Re:FYI on Japan's Gaming History Now Safe · · Score: 1

    I don't want to know what they'd call a brothel...

    Really Nice Girls?

  4. Re:High tech stage? on LOTR Jumps the Shark · · Score: 1

    Donations are NOT forthcoming. Any comments?

    Sure. How about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation? What about
    Andrew Carnegie, who gave almost all of his money to charitable causes? What about Doug Flutie? Or Dan Marino? The list goes on.

    There are plenty of "rich guys" who give back to society. I'm not trying to say that these people live(d) spartan lives, nor that I'm their biggest fan, but they certainly put up the money for the less fortunate.

  5. Re:At our office on Office Delayed, Too · · Score: 1

    (On the other hand: Excel was always the only program I ever liked in MS Office anyway...)

    I dig Visio as well. Makes putting flow charts and process diagrams together a snap. Of course, like Excel, MS bought the company that wrote it. :-)

  6. Re:So... uh, yeah... on GDC - Sony Keynote · · Score: 1

    Dude, this simply HAS TO become a game. It sounds way too much fun. :-)

  7. Re:How Tesla can still make electricity on Was Thomas Edison Right about DC Power? · · Score: 1

    Netcraft confirms it....Tesla is dead.

  8. Re:Missing the point on A Bathroom That Cleans Itself · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are many sites on the internet with girls who disagree with that statement (at least on camera).

    I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. *Nudge* *nudge*, *wink* *wink*... :-)

  9. Re:... I knew a girl on Wasp Larvae Feed on Zombie Roaches · · Score: 1

    Maybe Eve was the world's first hooker. It would certainly help out with the genetics... :-)

  10. Re:Two possible reasons on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 1, Funny

    Definitely reason number 2. Nothing like making money off of someone else's misfortune. God forbid Windows users are protected out of the box.

  11. Re:Sheer Hypocrisy on Google's Action Makes A Mockery Of Its Values · · Score: 1

    Those options are biased toward supporting Google. Better options would be:

    a) a very good idea.
    b) the right move under the circumstances.
    c) irksome.
    d) completely disappointing.

    I dunno, on further review, maybe it's just me, but they seemed biased at first glance. So FWIW, those are the options I would like to see.

  12. Re:My Guess: on Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse · · Score: 1

    OFF TOPIC:

    Ho! Haha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust!

    You're dispicable! :-)

  13. Re:Two Words: on Equipment Suppliers You Can Trust? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Duct tape: The last refuse of the incompetent.

    Refuge : Shelter :: Refuse : Trash.

    I'll leave the decision as to which was appropriate as an exercise to the reader.

  14. Tiki Bar TV on Time Names Battlestar Galactica Show Of The Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I call bullshit. Clearly the show of the year is Tiki Bar TV. Goddamn critics.

  15. Re:this is the death knell of neoliberalism on Analog Hole Legislation Formally Introduced · · Score: 1

    I find your ideas intriguing, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  16. Re:Show some love for Arthur on Top 20 Geek Novels · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Rama II: Electric Boogaloo (sorry, couldn't resist). Both Rendezvous with Rama and Rama II were great books. Garden of Rama, however, not so much (IMHO). Never did get around to Rama Revealed.

  17. Re:What about Tolkien? on Top 20 Geek Novels · · Score: 1, Funny

    I know precisely where that quote came from (Christopher Lee, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), and I am MOST CERTAINLY not a virgin. I even have the wife and kid to prove it! :-)

    I also somehow managed to get through the Silmarilion, although I think I may reread it. I almost liked it better than the LoTR proper.

  18. Re:REPEAT AFTER ME: on Spike TV Video Game Award Winners · · Score: 1

    I think you misspelled "EVAR". :-)

  19. Re:How strange. on IT Workers Worst Dressed Employees · · Score: 1

    Oh my God! I had no idea! I shall stop buying clothes from manufacturers at once, and start growing my own cotton!

  20. Re:Finally on Intelligent Coasters Keep Beer Mugs Full · · Score: 1

    Fuck that. Just bring me a goddamn beer and leave my belly and bladder out of it.

  21. Re:I don't think so. on Sun President Says PCs Are Relics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Try this. Just needs a hard drive and an OS, and woila, a $300 PC that comes fairly close to those specs. 'Course, it needs some assembly, but for $300, what do you expect?

  22. Re:Inside my laptop bag... on What's In Your Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    Nah, it's an internal, but the extra battery is in the expansion bay.

  23. Inside my laptop bag... on What's In Your Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    Laptop, Dell Latitude D610
    Mini-Maglite and Sheath
    Gerber Multitool and Sheath
    Logitech Wireless Laptop Mouse
    DVD drive for laptop
    Extra PCMCIA Wireless Adapter

  24. Re:Plonk Zonk! on Google Plans To Destroy Unindexed Information · · Score: 1

    I'm just sick of the endless bitching. Sadly, I cannot filter that out.

    Actually you can. Just read at +5.

  25. Re:Mod Parent Up on Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations · · Score: 2, Informative

    You do realize that the 'cat' in this case is redundant, right? Grep will open files you specify, as follows:

    grep '=http://' history.dat

    No cat neccessary.
