  1. Re:82% - IE, 50% - Firefox and 16% - Chrome on The Real-World State of Windows Use · · Score: 1

    More than 100% of people use computers when you assume one computer per person.

  2. Windows as a Real World State? on The Real-World State of Windows Use · · Score: 3, Funny

    At first, I though this was going to be some kind of satire piece about what kind of country Windows would be.

    Since it's not, I'll make it up: bloated, past its prime, and fueled entirely by the force of its own inertia.

  3. Hooray Research! on Attractive Women Make Men Temporarily Stupid · · Score: 1

    I'm so glad we have researchers around to tell us what we already know.

    It's that new flu strain I keep hearing about, the H1B flu!

    # yum -y update && shutdown -r now

    and pray to FSM that it comes back up.

  12. tape != unreliable on Best Home Backup Strategy Now? · · Score: 1

    Can you find some thing that can retain data for, say, 40+ years and be still able to restore them?

    The only reason those tapes failed is that some idiot decided to erase them.

  13. Re:apt-get.. on Jim Zemlin Pitches Linux App Stores For Telcos · · Score: 1

    apt-buy stuff

  14. Farnsworth exists? on Milky Way's Spiral Arms Could Not Have Caused Climate Change · · Score: 1

    I have a hunch that the scientist that first theorized this prefaced it with "Good news, everyone!"

  15. !can't on A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux 2nd ed. · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu really is an ancient African word for "Can't install Debian".

    I beg to differ. I'm fully capable of installing Debian, I'm just too lazy.

  16. +1 punny on Girl Electrocuted and Dies Tweeting In the Tub · · Score: 1

    The incident has been quickly picked up by several members of the Twitter community, most of which have been shocked by the news.

    Wait... Bozeman, Montana?

  20. Obligitory Quotes on NASA To Trigger Massive Explosion On the Moon In Search of Ice · · Score: 1

    "I can confirm the location of the Moon, but I cannot confirm the existence of the Moon"

  22. Re:Imagine . . . How you could protect yourself he on Should Wikipedians Edit Stories For Pay? · · Score: 1

    Copyright. Yeah. That would work. You could keep other people from diluting your work by using the protection afforded by copyright laws. That would be great. Thank goodness that we have copyright! That way, people who want to protect the integrity of their work have the legal authority to do so!

    You mean do copyright right? Rather than copyright-as-an-anti-distribution tool?
