  1. Re:He notes in the blog that his company does not on Apple Safari On Windows Broken On First Day · · Score: 2, Funny

    He probably did discover those vulnerabilities - the reason why I say this is because I also discovered similar mysterious vulnerabilities, ones that will disappear if I ever tell anyone about them. Oh, and I discovered 598 of them, and they would allow me to elevate my privileges AND mind control the owner of the computer running the software EVEN THROUGH TINFOIL HATS!

    Yeah, so you all can shower me with undeserved praise now and slashdot my website and argue over weather I hate macs, or weather I am a communist, or the anti-Christ (or both).

  2. Re:Was this a plug for a really crappy comic? on The History of Photoshop · · Score: 1

    I thought that the comic was so funny because it sucked so bad. It didn't make sense and it was poorly drawn, but I feel that it accurately described the way that truly great inventions come into existence. It is not with a bang, but with a whimper more often than not.

    I don't, however plan on reading more of them cause I have seriouser work to do.

    (Yes, I know that I have used improper English in this post. No I do not care. I did it to get my point acrosser.)

  3. Ah... on Wildlife Returning To Chernobyl · · Score: 1

    "In explaining their starkly differing views, Baker and Mousseau criticize each other's studies as poorly designed."

    Science at its best.

  4. Inconceivable! on Navy Now Mandated To Consider FOSS As an Option · · Score: 5, Funny

    The government saving money?

    I am speechless.

  5. Allow me to be the first on MacBook Pro Gets Santa Rosa Chipset, LED Screen · · Score: 1

    to say (speaking of Greenpeace and Macintosh, not the new macbook):
    "I for one welcome our new environmentally conscious overlords."

    On a side note, how much mercury is actually put in the screens of most laptops? I was under the impression that it wasn't much.

  6. Re:Obligatory on RIAA Drops Tanya Andersen Case · · Score: 1

    ops, I aktually missspelt pirate.

  7. quit on WizKids Sues Wizards of the Coast over Game Patent · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I remember back when Wizards made engaging games that didn't cost too much. Now-a-days a booster pack of 15 cards cost $5.00. Perhaps this frivolous lawsuit is because the company's sales are declining. If so, they aught to consider lowering prices instead of shenanigans like this. I quit playing because of insanity such as this.

  8. Re:Obligatory on RIAA Drops Tanya Andersen Case · · Score: 4, Funny

    you forgot to welcome our ten year old prate girl overlords!

  9. here we go again... on Microsoft Gives Xandros Users Patent Protection · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am of the opinion that Microsoft will continue to push the boundary as long as it is around.

    I don't really know if this is 'news'. Expecting people to be too surprised at this is sort of like saying "Hey, everybody, another person was killed in the middle east today" and expecting to get responses like "Wow, I didn't see that one coming!" or "You gotta be kidding."

  10. Re:Nethack..... on What Kids Really Think About Kids' Games · · Score: 1

    it also teaches you to avoid hallucinogens:

    10 1020 Teddy-Sam-Hum-Mal-Law died in The Gnomish Mines on
                                    level 8. Killed by a hallucinogen-distorted
                                    Green-elf.

  11. Worst. Idea. Ever. on On Diamond-Based Quantum Computing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Haven't you ever played final fantasy? Crystal based computers would be far to powerful, we could never win in a fight against them. If they went haywire, no amount of Will Smiths or Neos could save us.

  12. I for one.. on Parallels 3.0 Announced, 3D Graphics Included · · Score: 1

    Think that this is a great idea. Come on guys, show some respect, please. Perhaps there are better options out there for many situations, but if you want to save some hassle while setting up your mac to run 3d wndows applications and are willing to take a small performance hit, then I say 'go for it'. "The people are quite taken with her - A trifle simple perhaps - but the appeal is undeniable."

  13. Did I miss something? on TurboLinux to Sell Wizpy Media Player Worldwide · · Score: 1

    or, did someone already welcome them as overlords?

    Let me just say, I'm all for working in those underground sugar caves.

  14. Re:Haiku? on New AACS Fix Hacked in a Day · · Score: 2, Funny

    perhaps: I am so clever My password cannot be guessed... Inconceivable!

  15. I for one... on Computers Outperform Humans at Recognizing Faces · · Score: 1

    I for one have nothing insightful, or witty to say to this. I would, however have a camera mounted above my door, and door bell controller that I programmed myself if ( person == thatAnnoyingKidWhoRingsOurDoorbellAndRuns ) { doorbell.shutOff(); }

  16. Re:This is the RIAA's plan on Apple Hides Account Info in DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1
    ouch!

    Never thought of that.

    It should be the new automagic defense against being caught.

    "You are hereby charged with sharing music online"

    "Honestly sir, I lost My iPod!"

    "what's that right there?"

    "nothing... um... I found it again later"

  17. The truth on Team Discovers "Throttle" For Solar Wind · · Score: 1

    I did my own study. I ran around breathing helium. I ended up forgetting where I was and falling over. My conclusion is that the wind is slower when it contains Helium because the hydrogen is breathing it, and therefore incapacitated by it.

  18. Re:gmail mail tracking trick on Who's Trading Your E-mail Addresses? · · Score: 1

    That could come in handy, Thanks! -Mike

  19. useful? on Microsoft's Multitouch Coffee Table Display · · Score: 1

    Someone please enlighten me because I am obviously not getting the point. What new capability that was previously nonexistent does this product provide? Additionally, how is this an economically sound product? Will it ever be? "I for one..." will probably not buy this product.
