  1. Re:Way cool?! on IETF Draft Sets up Public Namespaces · · Score: 1

    So what would be the new way of saying "way cool" oh grand master of current pop culture?

    The term "Cool", like a T-Shirt and Jeans, is timeless(ok at least in the past 50 years or so). No matter what the passing fad may currently be, it never seems to go out of date.

    Nifty, Groovy, Neato-Torpedo, Phat, Fly, Funky-Fresh, etc on the other hand...

  2. Re:What if it had hit... on Meteorite Strikes Indian Village · · Score: 1

    More likely they would form a review board and tie up NASA for months asking why they didn't see this rather tiny rock coming. Of course the Media would be in a frenzy scaring everyone in to thinking that their families will be killed by falling cosmological debris.

    In the end they would probably find a way to cut NASA funding because of it...

  3. Re:Ion drive is cool, but... on European Moon Mission Ready for Launch · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sure they are highly maneuverable, but you pay for that with a complete lack of ray shielding. Hell, 2 full power blasts from an X-Wing and you are toast...

  4. Re:Gawd. on SCO's Plan Examined · · Score: 1

    I don't doubt this will happen some day. It's not like the "linked-to" group could have accepted the responsibility(in this case, the possibility that they would have to pay for their bandwidth) for posting an interesting story or project in the public view...

    People Suck.

  5. Re:iTunes on Beatles Bite Apple · · Score: 1

    if I could only get SCO ... and maybe M$ too...
    I'm sure the Lawyers are probably using Windows desktops to prepare for trial and just might be using a file server running a SCO branded version of *nix.

  6. Re:Latest Debian gnu/Linux seccurity warnings! on Microsoft Issues Five New Security Warnings · · Score: 1

    Given that Office (any many other MS products) deeply embeds itself into Windows, the distinction between App and OS is blurred.

  7. Spam Nazis on Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed · · Score: 4, Funny

    According to the Bulk Club's member roster, other subscribers include John Milton, an alias used by Davis Wolfgang Hawke, a former neo-Nazi who became a penis-pill spammer.

    Funny how the transition from Neo-Nazi to Spammer doesn't seem like much of a jump...

  8. Depends on the floor on The 5-Second Rule Investigated · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't really follow the five second rule as much as I follow the "Would I want to eat off this surface at -any- time." rule. Something falls on the otherwise clean kitchen floor, I'll probably pick it up and eat it. Something falls on the utility room floor near the litter box... I'll probably shit-can it.

    Simple and apparently effective, at least I can't verify that I have gotten sick from it yet.

  9. Re:A witness turned him in?!? on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 1

    I figure there's a market for idiots who want to bang on their keyboard haphazardly and have any number of complex processes happen as a result.

    So you'll be marketing this to Microsoft Developers?

    *rimshot*

  10. Re:7 minutes? yeah right....more like a waste of m on World's Biggest Battery Switched On in Alaska · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is 7 minutes of not having power so bad?
    Ask someone on a ventilator that question.

  11. Re:Applescript Additions on Teach Yourself AppleScript in 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    This will work even better.

  12. Re:Love this quote on SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them · · Score: 1

    It is amusing that they would tout something like that while suing a company that has released 215 Press Releases in the same timeframe...

  13. Re:optimistic & redundant on Starchaser Rocket Capsule Drop Tests Successful · · Score: 1

    (Yes I know this was a joke)

    IIRC The X-Prize goes to the team that can launch three people into space, bring them back(intact), and be able to launch again in under 2 weeks.

    Though it would be fun to be able to shoot three idiots into space and leave them there...

  14. Re:It's the deterrent, stupid. on 2191.78 Years for the RIAA to Sue Everyone · · Score: 1

    And of course everyone on the road maintains the speed limit at all times...

    Highway Patrol might be effective in slowing traffic when they are immediately present, but it doesnt stop someone from slamming on the gas as soon as they are out of sight. Same goes for the RIAA, File trading may slow as long as the lawsuits are publisized(and successful), but the instant the media tires of the story it will pick up again. (Not that it has really slowed, Kazaa still has like 5 Petabytes of data available on average...)

  15. I'm sure Lonely Math Geeks love this number on 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Stars Out There · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Forget this million million million crap... It's 70 sexillion

  16. Re:refresh often? yeah, right! on Apple Store Fans Camp Out for 24 Hours · · Score: 2, Funny

    Better to sit alone in front of your computer on friday night mocking him on a web discussion board he may not even read. :-)

  17. Re:Netflix on Mailing Disks is Faster than Uploading Data · · Score: 1

    Hopefully the Apple Itunes store evolves into a video rental outlet of some sort.

  18. Re:Star Wars on USS Ronald Reagan Commissioning Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Yes we should be figuring out efficient ways to kill the 200-300 adults that created those children instead.

    End child suffering in Third-World countries: sterilize the parents.

  19. Re:Messed up description on Collapsible LCD Screens · · Score: 1

    What they probably meant is that it reduces the amount of Horizontal desk space that The LCD takes up.

  20. Re:Strange Room Temperature on Force Field. No, Really · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Actually that does come out to around room temp:
    15,000 / 50 = 300 Kelvin

    Kelvin starts at absolute zero using equivalent units to Celsius so...
    Absolute zero in C = -273
    -273 + 300 = 27 degrees C

    in Fahrenheit that comes out to 80.6 degrees F, a little on the warm side but not bad.

  21. Re:Not everyone can afford cable.... on Putting the TV Broadcast Spectrum to Better Use? · · Score: 1

    If they are on welfare I would rather see them out there trying to get a job rather than watching TV. If they are only making minimum wage then they should be out there trying to get a better job, or earn a certificate or degree from the local Community college.(If a person really wants to they can find funding somewhere.) Make them help themselves and their family rather than whine because they can't watch TV...

  22. Re:how to build it on Alien Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Actually the decorations over the blow hole at the top are from a Deep Space 9 model kit. You can see the habitat ring along the edge connected to the promenade. Above that in the center he took the fusion reactor from the bottom of the station and glued it in below ops, he left off the shield generators though.

    It's probably really sad that I noticed that so readily..

  23. Obligatory Simpsons Quote on LOTR The Musical! · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Zaius: Of course you can.

    No, you'll never make a monkey out of me

    Oh my God, I was wrong
    It was Earth all along

    You've finally made a monkey
    Apes: Yes, we've finally made a monkey
    Troy: Yes, you've finally made a monkey out of me

  24. Pair Networks on Why is Hosted Disk Space So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    You can get a dedicated server with a 30 GB Disk space, and 60 GB of transfer for $249 a month with Pair Networks. Solid network and uptime. Most server problems are rectified in less than 10-15 minutes(That includes full replacement if nessecarry), and they haven't had a full network outage in over 7 years.

    Basically they are just a really good company to work with.

    Disclaimer: I do not work for Pair, nor do I get anything for referals I'm just a very satisfied customer.
