  1. Re:I've never trusted Klingons... on Man Robs Convenience Stores With Klingon "Batleth" · · Score: 5, Funny

  2. Re:I believe stealing slurpees on Man Robs Convenience Stores With Klingon "Batleth" · · Score: 1

    It's a new gang! Screw the crips and bloods, I'm joining the Klingons! Membership includes a free batleth!

  3. Re:Press 1 for gunshot, press 2 for IED.. on Snakelike Robot To Treat Soldiers During Battle · · Score: 1

    Sadly they'll only be effective on planes...

    dam you! that's what I was going to say!

  5. Re:The man is pitiful on Jack Thompson Attacks DoD, ESA, GTA With Utah Bill · · Score: 1

    Me too! Can we turn that into a flash game? It'll give him something to else to ban.

  6. Re:PPV on Comcast Apologizes For Super Bowl Porn Glitch · · Score: 2, Funny

    They probably already did. This $10 credit they speak of is actually just a refund.

  7. Re:Never owned a server, but... on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    Naming your personal machines is always more fun than servers. You don't have to please anyone but yourself. I've got "Sasha" named after the TF2 bit with the heavy. Probably because I'd go similarly insane if someone touched my "Sasha". I've also got "UglyBetty". Her name has nothing to with the show and everything to do with the hideous amalgamation of spare parts she's composed of. She works just fine for backups though!

  8. Re:Artificial Intelligences on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    A company I worked for was named Dolphin... naturally our server names were all based on sea creatures. Some of the references started to get obscure though... you go through the simple "guppy" type names pretty quickly and you find yourself naming them after cartoon characters.

  9. Re:300 isnt teeming with life on New Paper Offers Additional Reasoning for Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 5, Informative

    Did you read the summary? The point is that outside of our galaxy no intelligible signal is going to reach us. Therefore, the rest of the universe doesn't even enter into it.

  10. Re:Markup language != programming language on FBML Essentials · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with you here. If you spend any amount of time with middle / high schoolers you will inevitably run into one that claims to be a "coder" or "programmer" because they wrote a few lines of CSS to make their MySpace page look like hell.

  11. Re:A laptop... on Retailer Planning Laptops With Intel Core i7 Chips · · Score: 1

    On the contrary! By the time you get done hauling this thing around you'll have a physique rivaling that of any muscle beach type. With both brains and brawn the ladies will be just flocking to you... although you may want to do something about those suspenders...

  12. Re:Been there done that. on Could Fake Phishing Emails Help Fight Spam? · · Score: 1

    Now there's a man that knows how to consolidate power.

  13. Re:actually, this works fairly well. on Could Fake Phishing Emails Help Fight Spam? · · Score: 1

    As much as I hate the thought of even more spam coming my way... it makes perfect sense. It'll basically act as a sort of PSA for people that have no idea what they're doing.

  14. Re:Well that... on Cox Communications and "Congestion Management" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds to me like their customers are all getting screwed by Cox.

  15. Re:Would that be... on Family Dog Cloned, Thanks To Dolly Patents · · Score: 1

    I think it would just be a minor version change. So K-9.1

  16. Re:Test it on a better system then a OLD P4 cpu on Four X25-E Extreme SSDs Combined In Hardware RAID · · Score: 1

    Hey, I have a P4 running my home server you insensitive clod!

    Who the hell modded you insightful, especially for claiming a system of delicate moving parts lasts virtually forever...

    What about watches? /sarcasm

  18. Re:I was thinking about this the other day... on Remembering NASA Disasters With an Eye Toward the Future · · Score: 1

    The trouble is we already have solutions to most of those problems. Unfortunately they involve eating a healthy diet and getting some exercise. That's just too much work though, so we need to develop a "cure" instead. Also, when you're just talking numbers like that you have to realize that 80 year old people finally dying from stroke or heart disease kind of skew the results.

  19. Re:backups on WD's Monster 2TB Caviar Green Drive, Preview Test · · Score: 0

    I've got two 1 TB drives in my home server. I use software RAID to keep my data safe and happy. You pretty much have to buy these things in pairs if you care even a little bit about the data. Unless, of course, you're buying this to use as a back up.

  20. Re:Still the same story, mostly. on Windows 7 Gaming Performance Tested · · Score: 1

    More importantly, they're going to be using beta drivers. Remember when Vista first came out? The drivers were a joke. Half of the crashes were attributed to nVidia. To me this says more about the drivers being used to run the tests than the OS's themselves.

  21. Re:Missing factors on Linux's Role In Microsoft's Decline · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not to mention the fact that if companies *did* start selling machines with their own flavors of Linux I'm sure they'd quickly spiral into garbage. Think of the crapware on budget PCs. Now imagine an entire OS bastardized, branded and sold to the highest bidder. I could see custom manufacturer Linux distros quickly becoming a total nightmare.

  22. Re:So? on Obama Sides With Bush In Spy Case · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You pay so others can go? I'm confused, how is church payed for by the government? It's a tax-exempt organization, but it doesn't get free government handouts. Churches are funded by their members. That's completely different than free health care provided by the government.

  23. Re:Now... on DIY LED Array Marquee For Your PC · · Score: 1

    There are actually already license plate frames with little LED displays built in that allow you to do this.

    I'd heard that the Germans had taken over the project - something about creating the perfect solution... or maybe it was final solution? Anyway, now the French are begging the English to help them get it back.
