  1. Joy on HP To Acquire 3com For $2.7 Billion · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can't wait for 500MB driver packages, 234454 running background processes and 7 tray icons required to configure the hardware.

  2. Re:Report from the field: "Drivers very confused" on Computer Failure Causes Gridlock In MD County · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about the multi-cluster lights as is prevalent in congested cities (LA). Some will have 5 or 6 lights in one module, red yellow, double red, double green, arrows

  3. Re:Now if only Adobe would... on Facebook and MySpace Backdoors Found, Fixed · · Score: 1
  4. Oh, I see. on Murderer With "Aggression Genes" Gets Reduced Sentence · · Score: 1

    Have a propensity for murder? Get released earlier!

  5. Re:Wow on Unfinished Windows 7 Hotspot Feature Exploited · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Just like you could do with Windows 98 since, well, 1998.

  6. Re:20 years research to find vintage 2002? on Thermonuclear Reactor To Use Coconut Shells · · Score: 1

    Back in 1982, futuristic 2002 coconuts didn't exist yet! It took another 7 years for that hangover to clear and the paper to be posted here.

  7. Didn't RTFA on "2012" a Miscalculation; Actual Calendar Ends 2220 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Have the past, current and this calculation all taken into account all the calendar changes made throughout history?

  8. Oh SiliconValley Peaks #3737 on Geocities Shutting Down Today · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I remember picking my neighborhood page, throwing up useless junk about how much macs suck and PC rule, animated GIFs for IChat, ICQ and webring. Then I wrote a program that drew visitors to my page and got me recognition in the weekly geocities digests for my traffic and a couple free tshirts (I still have one in the plastic wrapper, the other I wear as casual). They gave me more webspace and bandwidth as well. Then a year or so later Yahoo bought them up and started doling out vengeance against those who had active sites. This is when GeoCities truly died. All that we saw between then and now was postmortem random nerve firing. Yahoo routinely would shut down my site with tales of "Bandwidth exceeded"

    D'oh! :(

  10. Re:What are we going to do today, Brain? on Scientists Use Quake 2 To Study the Brains of Mice · · Score: 3, Funny

    Pinky! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

  11. Re:Maybe... on Is Working For the Gambling Industry a Black Mark? · · Score: 1

    To (en)force it upon others, sure. Who said anything about a deity? Lots of assumptions going on here...

  12. Maybe... on Is Working For the Gambling Industry a Black Mark? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Is your next employer(s) a highly religious zealot? If so, yes, be concerned. And not just because they might frown down on your heathenish past!

    Otherwise, why would you ever think it to be bad? They have high security and confidentiality concerns, what employer would see your experience and involvement with a high-security job as a bad thing?

    ...Aubrey wants you to join their mob in Mobsters, a Mafia-style combat game played on MySpace.

    Start out as a petty thief and work your way up to become a Mob Don!

  16. Re:Cardboard? Aren't cases flimsy enough already? on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 1

    I have regutted my case as well from many years ago. Ironically it's this.

    The specs at the end are the old system, I really need to update my site :(

    Be mindful what is considered sexual harassment, too.

  18. Re:What the fuck on ASCAP Says Apple Should Pay For 30-sec. Song Samples · · Score: 1

    Aye. Stay the fuck out of government, take it to a real court. Congress is not your courtroom, our tax-payer dollars are not for your (il)legal quarrels.

  19. *sniff sniff* on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's that burning smell?

  20. Y'all seem to fail to realize... on Apple Pulls C64 Emulator From the App Store · · Score: 1

    The "No (non-native) interpreters" rule is so Apple can get more money out of developers (the $100 fee to develop on hardware/put in their store)
    The availability of basic opens doors for users to create games/utilities while bypassing the store and fees.
    This is why some of the emu games must re-package the emulator for each game (pack).

    Bingo. Except for your parenthesized commend, you got it.

  25. Re:PAE? Nothing to see... on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Notrly. PAE is already enabled by default these days anyway (due to NX support), so you'd think it'd be a non-issue. No, there is a license check that the article describes and a quick NOP patch to bypass said check to tell windows to not limit memory.
