    Because we all know that no one without a foreskin ever got HIV.

  2. Re:This doesn't look good on Revived Microbe May Hold Clues For ET Lifeforms · · Score: 1

    I don't think your tin foil hat will help. Then again with a bug that can be brought back to life after 120000 years and slide through a 2 micron filter. Not much would help if it were to turned out to be dangerous.

  3. Re:Software Rental on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Overreaction on WHO Declares H1N1's Spread Officially a Pandemic · · Score: 1

    This should be called the economic flu. Because as far as I can see it is all about distracting the average people from their current economic panic, long enough for the economy to start recovering. Look at the stock market, look for sudden climbs, then look back and find a troubling flu announcement came out the day before.

    Then again I could be wrong.

  8. In honour of the Pandemic on WHO Declares H1N1's Spread Officially a Pandemic · · Score: 1

    A link to Pandemic 2 the game.

  10. Re:Reading comprehension on Supreme Court Declines Case Over Techs' Right To Search Your PC · · Score: 1

    "Gee you index your temp folders? Do you also Index Program Files?"

    No. I actually organize my files, so I can find what I want when I want it.
    A radical concept I know.

  13. Re:Look that gift horse in the mouth, Jammie on Camara Goes On Offense Against the RIAA · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't boycott them. I haven't bought any music in the last decade because I haven't heard anything in the past decade worth downloading let alone buying!

  14. Re:Be firm..and good on How Do IT Guys Get Respect and Not Become BOFHs? · · Score: 2, Funny

    But seriously, Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is in writing. If you show your frustration they win. If they show frustration you win.
    And last but not least, if all else fails blame Microsoft.

  15. Re:Dear free MMO companies on How Much Money Do Free-To-Play MMOs Make? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "ransacking the couch for ramen money" That sounds really dirty to me for some reason.
    Is that what you kids are calling it these days? In my day was just called it sex, I guess I am just old.

    "Pornography and money-laundering is not that far apart."BR>
    Believe me when I tell you Pornography is a lot more fun than money-laundering.


    I could tell you. But then I would have to kill you.
    That said; Good for them taking a few of these scumbags down.

  19. Re:Tech Support? on Arrington's Web Tablet Nearly Ready For Launch? · · Score: 1

    "I'm hoping they do one better and let us put whatever we want on there."
    You write that as if they had any say in what software I run.

    Morse code communication system.
    Connect it to your computer for music everywhere.

    Now a real thought. Do you have, or are you going to have kids. At some point you will have to let the communicate, and a cell phone may not be a good option. If this is the case you may wish in just a few years that you had left the phone lines alone.

  23. Al Capone on Download Taxes As a Weapon Against File-Sharing · · Score: 2, Informative

    Tax evasion is what put Al Capone away.

  24. Re:So, who makes HumVees? on GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company · · Score: 1

    "Hummer owners are fundamentally the same as Prius owners; they have made a retarded purchasing decision in order to achieve some goal."
    Brilliant! I love it.

  25. H2 H3 on GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company · · Score: 1

    I think what you mean to say was "The H2 and H3 were abominations that should have never been built."
    As a semi-serious 4x4 guy I have driven just about every 4x4 out there. The original H1 (Not the military one.) was a pretty good off road vehicle. Not great. There is not a truly great 4x4 on the market right now. If someone puts one out that is simple, robust, and customizable, they will find a substantial market waiting for them.
