  1. Re:The story is.. on ISPs Lie About Broadband "Up To" Speeds · · Score: 1

    Funny and insightful are sometimes divided by a fine line. Maybe internet service providers should start advertising with the disclaimer that weight loss companies use when they show a success story: Results not typical.

  2. Re:Without any evidence? on Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction · · Score: 1

    I don't see why not. People have won it for less than that.

    Not bat, but she's no Bennett Halverson. :P

    It depends on if Bill was driving or if Steve threw it.

    A point, a point, my kingdom for a mod point.

    Don't worry about it. I hear the bartenders there are notoriously bad. Don't even know what "no salt" means. She'll be miserable.

  7. Waste of time on IceCube Telescope Takes Shape Below Antarctic Ice · · Score: 1

    They should have run this one by Al Gore first. Don't they know global warming is about to sink them? Any minute now...

    Federal tax is about 60% of the gross. State tax is the other 60%.

    You know why Kentucky doesn't fall into Tennessee? Because Ohio sucks.

  11. Re:Placebo on Caffeine Addicts Get No Additional Perk, Only a Return To Baseline · · Score: 2

    Just because they didn't associate the aches and weariness with your treachery doesn't mean it was unnoticed. You generally can't taste caffeine, so they assumed the symptoms were random.

  12. Re:DOS Is dead use visual basic on For Automated Testing, Better Alternatives To DOS Batch Files? · · Score: 1

    The problem here, Anon, is that you booted into Windows in the first place.

  13. Re:Best. Joke. Ever. on Wikipedia Is Not Amused By Entry For xkcd-Coined Word · · Score: 1

    I used to like indie bands, but they suck now. Now it's all about preschoolers with xylophones.

  14. Re:What happens at night? on Possible Breakthrough In Hydrogen Energy · · Score: 1

    Well, you make a light battery by lining the inside of a box with mirrors. The trick is positioning the mirrors so that light can enter the box and not exit until you're ready to use it.

    He forgot to lick it first.

  16. Re:worth upgrading? on MythTV 0.23 Released · · Score: 1

    I must admit that I'm scared to upgrade. MythTV has a fairly high WAF, when it behaves (which is most of the time). It took me quite a while to get the machine to do everything we expect out of a TV while training myself and the wife to use it.
    "How do I exit? I thought it was Esc."
    "No, that's in the TV and Recording view. This is a video. I had to set it for Q"

  17. Re:MythTV rant on MythTV 0.23 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does it allow me find&copy the recorded files to another machine so I can watch them on the road? (searching trough the hashed filenames is no fun)

    This, at least, is easily done through MythWeb. You can download the file from the interface page of the show you want, and it provides a reasonable file name, at least since 0.21.

  18. Re:Solution: on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 1

    A real rock is also useful for breaking in. The hollow one just saves you a window.

  19. Re:Why take them out? on Arizona Backs Off Its Speed Camera Program · · Score: 2, Funny

    That would only catch the really fast ones.

  20. Re:I'll be sure to set the VVCR on IT Crowd (UK) Coming Back For Season 4 · · Score: 1

    Remember the good old days when the networks would choose what you could watch, and when? :P

    Netflix + MythTv handles 80-90% of my viewing these days.

    Keep up that talk and you'll find yourself only able to connect to websites with odd-numbered ip addresses.

    (protip: malware "watcher" processes usually aren't smart enough to realize when they've been suspended. Comes in handy.)

    But who watches the watchers?

    More of a beige, really. I think that explains Tiger Woods, too. Hmm, seems to be working for him. Maybe I just need a little more sun.
