  1. Re:Well, I hate to be obvious, but... on Largest ISP In Philippines: The Catholic Church · · Score: 2

    Sam Kinison reflected gracefully upon living in third world countries with his eloquent quote, "See, this is SAND. It's always gonna be SAND. We have deserts in America too, we JUST DON'T LIVE IN THEM."

  2. ... on Largest ISP In Philippines: The Catholic Church · · Score: 1

    Funny enough, it does the same thing for Slashdot...

  3. Re:It's the velocity, not the mass. on Space Object May Be Killer - In 2030 · · Score: 2


    so does this mean that we have to
    send a team of redneck oil drillers
    up into space, and nuke the object
    from the inside?

    as long as we get to leave Bruce
    Willis up there to die, i'm all for
    it.

  4. chairs on Geek Throne: A Self-Adjusting 'Smart' Chair · · Score: 2

    At my company, we are using the high priced Herman Miller chairs. I've gotta guess those things run in the excess of $900. If they don't conform for comfort, then I don't know what does. I've never heard anyone complain about those chairs.

  5. Re:Link on How Do Linux and Windows 2000 Compare? · · Score: 1

    Lazy bastards...

  6. This should suffice... on How Do Linux and Windows 2000 Compare? · · Score: 1

    ZDNet's comparison wasn't half bad... http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,41 61,401917,00.html

  7. I'll be impressed... on Are Nitrogen Powered Cars The Future? · · Score: 1

    When they make a car that runs on cheese.


    Until then, let me sleep.

  8. Holy crap! on Armed Robot Guards - Sorta · · Score: 1

    But can the robot guard,
    once we've trained him,
    train other robot guards?

  9. Cast? on Groening Says The Simpsons Movie Planned · · Score: 2

    I'm hoping (personally) that Leo will have the lead role as Bart. Perhaps Jonathon Taylor Thomas? And maybe an Olsen Twin as Lisa?

  10. Metallica on More Napster Updates · · Score: 1

    I just find it ironic that Metallica started off by trading tapes in San Francisco.

  11. Screw it. on FTC Settles With Big CD Makers-Cheaper CDs Coming? · · Score: 1

    I don't care.

    I like listening to music.

    If I can listen to the music for free, I will. There's not much anyone can do about it.
    I don't hate the MPAA. They're doing their job.
    I don't hate Lars, he's doing his job.
    I just like listening to music.

  12. Re:Wait a sec... on Are There MP3/CD Player Combinations? · · Score: 1

    discman-style players are notoriously power-hungry - and the extra processing required to decode the mp3 audio might make the battery time low enough to be a nuisance.

    Transmeta to the rescue?

  13. Re:dating on IRCnet Servers Strike To Protest DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    how am i supposed to pick up chicks without irc?????

    Talkcity?
    Oh... nevermind...

  14. Re:How about these Apples. on Slashdot Meets The Pinkerton Corp. · · Score: 1

    Almost like the story of Francis Farmer.
    Francis does no interviews with the press, the
    press begins a rumor that Francis is insane,
    Francis is put into an asylum on false charges,
    Francis becomes insane.

  15. Re:Lies, Damn Lies on Talk City Closing Doors To IRC · · Score: 1

    Most TalkCity users are WebTV users.
    They have the technical knowledge of a gorilla.

  16. Re:What the hell is Talk City? on Talk City Closing Doors To IRC · · Score: 1

    Most WebTV boxes are set with Talk City as their default chat client. Do you really want to chat with people who are using WebTV?

  17. Damn you, Bill Gates, Damn you. on Talk City Closing Doors To IRC · · Score: 1

    TalkCity caters mainly to WebTV users. WebTV, coincidentally, also supports Pirch as an IRC client. WebTV is owned by Microsoft. Talkcity is owned by NBC. Microsoft and NBC have exclusive media agreements (MSNBC).

  18. Re:I love it when... on Talk City Closing Doors To IRC · · Score: 1

    With the advent of scripts - and more important, pop-up dialogs - a clean IRC helps to make for a better conversation instead of people constantly clicking on the prerendered, static jokes and whatnot.

  19. Re:Another advertising sccheme.. on Talk City Closing Doors To IRC · · Score: 1

    BTW: Talkcity is owned by NBC.

  20. Remember... on Billions of Transistors on a Single Chip · · Score: 1

    It's not the size of your transistor that counts... it's how you use it...

  21. Icons on Stamps of the 80s · · Score: 1

    I'm all for a Traci Lords stamp... Is there a statute of limitations on owning her movies?

  22. And to think... on 'Kyle's Mom' is Dead at Age 38 · · Score: 1

    That you all used to sing that she was a bitch.


    This makes you wonder...
    WB continued after Mel Blanc,
    How will SP react?
