  1. Jobs death picture on Apple Puts $383 Million Handcuffs On CEO Tim Cook · · Score: 2

    That has to be one of the worst pro Photoshop jobs I have ever seen. Since when does Steve Jobs wear dresses? Like one of the ACs pointed out, a Redditer posted an analysis of the picture. Also, since when does /. link to TMZ as a reliable source?

  2. Re:without discrete scanning, it's easier to punk on DHS Eyes Covert Body Scans · · Score: 1

    First thing I thought of. I came here for this.

  3. Re:Why do they blame the planet? on A Planet That Orbits Its Star the Wrong Way · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of my first year electronics professor describing electron flow during Intro to Circuits class. "There are no gay electrons, right."

  4. Re:And remember kids... on Don't Panic, It's Towel Day! · · Score: 1

    Hay! Only I get to say that! Ah forget it. Wanna get high?

  5. eeebuntu on Which Distro For an Eee PC? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So far I have tried the following operating systems in this order:

    vLited Vista Home
    Ubuntu eee
    eeebuntu Standard
    nLited XP
    eeebuntu NetBookRemix.

    Just last night I switched back from XP to eeebuntu 2.0 NBR. Why? Well, it just works beautifully OOTB with my 701SD and the GUI works well with the 7" screen. All I had to do was edit my fstab to automatically mount my Airdisk and media shares on my Vista box and that was that. I use it to browse the web, edit/view spreadsheets and to remote into some of my home computers. ZSNES is also a crucial download.

    I honestly don't really notice the battery drain. If I want to compute for 2+ hours, I will use my desktop to avoid sore wrists by using the 701SD's small keyboard.

  6. Re:This doesn't sound right on Flash Mob Steals $9 Million From ATMs · · Score: 4, Funny

    My fastest time is 17 seconds from the time the card goes in until the card comes out. That includes entering my PIN, selecting chequeing/withdrawal, amount of money, dispense money, give me back my card. Not all ATMs will give me that time due to different menus/longer authentication times etc. Don't ask me why I would time something so stupid in my day to day life, but I pride myself at quick withdrawals. Wait a minute...

  7. Re:Let me guess... on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 1

    The reason why Nintendo didn't go with Revolution was because 1984 called and served Nintendo with a DMCA cease and desist letter from Prince and the Revolution. Reports indicate Prince then made Charlie Murphy some pancakes.

    Game... Blouses.

  8. 25% of the Planet? on Only One Quarter of the Planet To Be Online By 2012 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Isn't that all of us? I thought the Earth was covered by 75% water? iT

  9. Allez! cuisine! on Iron Chef Game Listed, Then Pulled · · Score: 1

    Who wouldn't want to take on Iron Chef Sakai in a SPAM battle! I can even see the Wii-mote getting fitted with knife, pot/pan, whisk, $kitchen_utensil attachments sold as a set sorta like the sports and Zelda sword/shield packages that they sell.

    I'm a "Slasher" you insensitive clod!

  11. Re:So what's next? on Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" Is Out · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hungry Hippo. No wait, that is a Vista install. Sorry, wrong OS.

  12. Re:Units? on DS Dominates Japanese PSP Sales 3:1 · · Score: 1

    1 Wii unit = 1,000,000. Therefore 1.6 Wii units = 1,600,000 Wii.

  14. Re:What a crock of shit. on Protecting Final Fantasy XI From the Gil-Sellers · · Score: 1

    SE was not the company that put the kibosh on hard drive for the PS2 slimline. That was Sony's move. Sony saw that FFXI was pretty much the only game that heavily required the hard drive "add on" (other than HD loader and few games for saves) and didn't see any future influx of players. So they crunched the numbers and chose aesthetics over a small group of MMORPGers who might need a second PS2 when their first one died. This was 2 years after FFXI came out.
    I lucked out as my first PS2 is still going strong with it's 40GB hard disk. (knocks on wood). Actually FFXI will now play on a PS3 with a small patch that needs to be downloaded in order for it to be compatible.
