  1. Super deal! on Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s · · Score: 5, Funny


    I'll put the $125 from Apple towards the $700 SCO says I owe them!

  2. Chewbacca Defense? on SCO Attorney Declares GPL Invalid · · Score: 3, Funny


    You mean SCO is going to go after George Lucas?

  3. I hate to say it.. on Microsoft, OD2 Start European Music Service · · Score: 5, Insightful


    I think they'll make buckets of money; it requires Windows Media Player 9 which has a much larger user base than that of the Mac and the Apple player which is getting half a million song downloads a week.

  4. Ad on Friendster Fights Fakesters · · Score: 1

    "Single white male, late 30's. Flexible posterior, looking for same. See www.goatse.cx for picture."

  5. Re:Angry... on SCO Announces Final Termination of IBM's Licence · · Score: 1


    By development methods, do they mean "use of the vi editor"?

    Perhaps. Of course, real men just "cat > foo.c" and don't make mistakes. I guess SCOs people will read this and scour through the cat source now..

  6. Ha right. on OpEd Piece on Extended Life Expectancy · · Score: 1


    With the current advances in biology, we as a society are facing the real possibility that "immortality" could some day be the norm

    Haha yeah right.. I'll be happy if I make it through today thanks to this fucking hangover.

  7. Mmmm.. new chips.. on New Transmeta Chip: "Efficeon" · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I hope these new chips aren't cooked in Olestra, the last ones gave me explosive "splatter bum"

  8. Obviously.. on Citizens' Protection in Federal Databases Act Introduced · · Score: 4, Funny


    It's obvious that the EFF, EPIC, CDT, ACLU, Free Congress and Senator Wyden are terrorist sympathizers

  9. Bad idea. on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 2, Funny


    How short our memories are.. When we get all that solar power the machines will start a war. We'll have to destroy the skies and move the survivors underground to Zion.

  10. Well.. on The Open Group's New Open Source Strategy · · Score: 5, Funny


    I won't believe they're serious until they change their name to Gnu/OpenGroup.

  11. Yup on Growth Job Sector: Freelance Technical Support · · Score: 4, Interesting


    That's how I got my current job ~2 years ago. Configuring 2 Cisco PIX firewalls on a contract basis. Now I'm full time and love it.

  12. Re:growing pains on Gartner Says Delay Linux Deployment Due to SCO · · Score: 1


    what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right?

    Yeah, Christopher Reeve in the chair is a big improvement over the original.

  13. Poor recommendations. on Gartner Says Delay Linux Deployment Due to SCO · · Score: 2, Insightful


    "keep pursuing your Unix and Windows strategies."

    By "Unix" I presume they are referring to proprietary Unix. They fail to mention all the free *BSDs, etc, which tend to be under the radar of a lot of the suits. The choice then seems to be "Proprietary Unix or Windows.. Hmm we already know Windows and it runs on our existing hardware soo..." Smooth FUD, Gartner.

  14. Ah-ha! on Diebold Voting Systems Grossly Insecure · · Score: 5, Funny


    voters, without any insider privileges, can cast unlimited votes without being detected by any mechanisms within the voting terminal.

    Were they testing these in Florida a few years ago?

  15. Great. on DirectX Flaw Leaves Windows Vulnerable · · Score: 5, Funny


    A MIDI overflow? That means no more visits to most Geocities pages.

  16. Re:fast food workers on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 3, Funny


    I thought all our fast food workers already were robots.

    They are.

  17. Motivation through fear. on Meditation in the Workplace? · · Score: 3, Funny


    Here each week's lowest producer has to have the goatse.cx guy as his desktop wallpaper the following week.

  18. Why not NAT? on MIT, Boston College Refuse DMCA Subpoenas · · Score: 1


    Couldn't the schools NAT some of the dorm IP space and not log the DHCP'd addresses? Granted many of these services don't work as well through a NAT'd IP.

  19. Re:Great for highschool bands on Sell Your Music on iTunes Music Store · · Score: 2, Funny


    Maybe a moderation system is in order?

    As long as they have a +1 Motorhead option you can count me in!

  20. Keep the beer on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1


    Don't listen to these knuckleheads telling you to "lay off the beer". It's the 4 Big Macs and pizza you have when pissed up that does you in. Beer by itself has no calories, plenty of vitamins and minerals. Not to mention it leaves your breath minty fresh.

  21. Welcome.. on U.S. Biometric Passports By Late 2004 · · Score: 5, Funny


    Welcome to the United State of America. Allow the nice lady at the counter to take your picture, retinal scan, fingerprints, blood sample, stool sample, urine sample, hair follicle, oral swab. After that please check one of the two YES or NO boxes next to "I AM A TERRORIST" statement.

  22. Simple solution. on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1


    Every country needs a NAT gateway at the border. Yes I'm joking.

  23. Re:but what's better? on SCO Extorting Unixware Licenses to Linux Users? · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    What is a mare? I'm from France and don't know jack!

    A mare.. you know, horses. Those 4 legged things you French eat.

  24. Ok.. on Whatever Happened to Micropayments? · · Score: 5, Insightful


    Call me an old curmudgeon but I think micropayments are just another new way to be (pardon the pun) nickel and dime'd to death. My bank already does it with service charges, my phone company does it with every little "feature", my cell company does it, et al ad nauseum.
    The only ones that will PROFIT!!! from this are the big companies pushing it on us.

  25. Too little, too late. on Wozniak Unveils WozNet · · Score: -1, Flamebait


    I lost that can of Guinness last weekend and I want it now, Woz!
