  1. Re:Quentin Tarantino on Oscar Screener Ban to be Revoked for Academy Members · · Score: 1

    going to a theater may be great for a major picture, but what about one that would play at an arthouse? Not all cities are able to support arthouses. I live in Albany, and we have one. It's at least an hour drive to the next closest one. I had a friend who had to drive 2 hours both ways to see Memento back in 2001.

    Not all academy members live in L.A. or New York City.

  2. holy crap! on First 1.1Mpixel 192MB SmartPhone · · Score: 3, Funny

    I bet if god needed cellular service, he'd have a phone like that

  3. this won't affect me because on Swarthmore Students Keep Diebold Memos Online · · Score: 1

    I don't vote!

  4. it's obviously a medical condition on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    geeks spend all their time in front of the computer. Hunching over a keyboard stretches out the spine, thus making them taller than thier marketing-based couterparts, who spend all their time standing up, and thus feel more of the effects of gravity in the long run.

  5. hmm.. on BIND Patches Make Bad Situation Worse · · Score: 1

    BIND patches? Well I'm in a bind as to whether or not I should ask someone what in the heck this means, since I have no idea.

  6. Around my neck on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    I've got a piece of the cross. 2000 year old hardware. Can anyone beat that?

  7. It used to be on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    my schlong. But now I guess it gets classified as software. Zing!

  8. geekiest of the geekiest? on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    I don't think so, not unless all the participants were dressed up in star trek uniforms and fought each other with lightsabers, all the while somehow shouting insults in Perl.

  9. Re:Wah? on Torvalds the "5th Most-Powerful Man in Tech" · · Score: 4, Funny

    of course not! It's on the ceiling above my bed.

  10. are you sure? on Torvalds the "5th Most-Powerful Man in Tech" · · Score: 2, Funny

    "If it wasn't for the presence of Lara Croft and Xena Warrior Princess, techies around the world would have posters of Torvalds on their walls."

    Are you sure it wouldn't be Ellen Feiss?

  11. acronyms? on GIMP goes SVG · · Score: 1, Funny

    well the GIMP may be SVG but CAN someone tell ME exactly what IN the HELL that MEANS?

  12. Re:Competition=good thing. on 9th Circuit Overturns FCC's Cable Modem Decision · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ok. I can get 2 megs/sec down, 200/k up. Oh yeah, it's also 10 inches long and big and black.

  13. great Bruce Campbell line on Review: 'Bubba Ho-Tep' · · Score: 4, Funny

    I saw Bruce Campbell last year at RIT. During his hilarious Q & A session, someone asked him if he ever turned down a role. Without breaking a sweat, he replied "I came here. I obvisouly don't give a shit about anything."

    He brought the house down

  14. interesting problem on New Solar Cells 20 Times Cheaper · · Score: 3, Funny

    to successfully set up and harness the power of the sun using solar cells would mean venturing out into the sun. what's a geek to do?

    It's like a forcing yourself to drink some nasty cough syrup to make a cold go away.

  15. sound quality on The Incredible Shrinking Recording Studio · · Score: 1, Insightful

    having have made 5 albums by recording into my video camera, running that into the vcr, that into the tv card, and doing a sound capture, I can tell you that home-based recording will never take the place of studio recording, simply because the hardware isn't up to par. Not necessarily the mixing boards and such, but the microphones and locations. Modern setups may not be as ghetto as mine, but recording into a PC microphone isn't the same as recording into a 1000 dollar one used by a studio. And soundproofing a room is still necessary, since you don't want to pick up car engines or noises from the people above you. Studios still have the upper hand on high-end production.

  16. predictions for folks in IT are easy on IT Career Horoscopes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Aries: you will die a virgin
    Taurus: you will die a virgin
    Gemini: you will die a virgin
    Cancer: you will die a virgin

    etc..

  17. motif on Red Hat Linux Project Merges With Fedora · · Score: 1

    at least they are sticking with the hat motif. If a company like Caldera merged, it wouldn't make any sense.

  18. Challenges in scripts on Ask Neil Gaiman · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What sort of challenges did you face when you wrote the script for the dub of Princess Mononoke?

  19. Re:What have on Hotel Being Sued for Using the Dewey Decimal System · · Score: 1

    The Online Computer Library Center is being quite the Scrooge for suing that hotel.

  20. Re:Farnsworth? on College Freshman Builds Fusion Reactor · · Score: 1

    I think it was a guy named William R. Control.

  21. maybe not leap-frog on RIAA PR Efforts Examined · · Score: 1

    but I could easily see them deathmatching in Quake on DM4.

  22. an ironic twist on No Americans Need Apply · · Score: 1

    The beef hot dogs over in India are actually made of beef!

  23. it's good because dropping an ebook on Barnes and Noble Drops Ebooks · · Score: 1

    sure doesn't hurt as much as a regular hard cover book. My toe is still sore a month later.

  24. Highly unlikely on Star Wars Kid & Episode III? · · Score: 1

    does he look like someone who would ever have sex?

  25. Re:Says a lot on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 1

    As a 12 year old girl, I find being compared to the RIAA insulting. We are way more mature than the RIAA.
