  1. Re:Let me be the first to ask.... on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Now In Beta · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wrong! It's a mix between Hugh Jackman and a Cantaloupe.

  2. Re:Nice KB on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 1

    Does yours shock you first thing in the morning too?
    I find that my Aluminum iMac with the Aluminum slim KB is a static electricity magnet. Other than that, I love it. I'm very used to the key layout now and it feels right to my fingers.

    Nobody... calls me chicken!

  4. Re:Five minutes too long on Battlestar Galactica Comes To an End · · Score: 1

    Mine already subjugates the cat, its only a matter of time until it rises up against me.

  5. Re:Five minutes too long on Battlestar Galactica Comes To an End · · Score: 1

    That actually makes far too much sense. If only that was what the writers intended.

    Remember Clarke's 3rd law:

    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

  7. Re:Next time I'm on an airplane on DIY Space Photography · · Score: 1

    My statistics professor always called it:

    "an infinitesimally small, but non-zero probability"

    I love that term.

  8. Incoming Car Analogy on Look Out, Firefox 3 — IE8 Is Back On Top For Now · · Score: 1

    Firefox is a tank. Crappy mileage, but can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, and even if if can't you can always bolt on something to make it work.

    Not with a bat attached to your fuel tank.

    Well there goes my plan to enter a bat in the Nathans Hotdog eating contest.

    You hate the I.E. in SoCal too?

    *Elephant repellent

  15. Re:Flash on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    All very true. However Apple is selling the iPhone as a smartphone that can access the "real web." The thing is, "the real web" uses flash a lot. If you can't run a fundamental plugin for modern web browsing, don't advertise that your product as a full featured web browser.

  16. Re:My God! Since when does Cut-n-paste merit bulle on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    My Blackberry has cut and paste.

    "I see you need AMMO. I don't have any AMMO but if you take this REPORT to CAPTAIN WHATSHISFACE he can show you how to get to FORT SOMEWHERE and meet SUPPLY SGT GUY. He can then show you the secret path to AMMO DUMP. I hear he likes TWINKIES. To find TWINKIES you must first find...."

    Yeah, a hockey stick would work much better.

  20. Re:Star Trek Christmas Special on Could Fuller Take Trek Back To TV? · · Score: 1

    No, since Harvey Korman died, the show just wouldn't work.

  21. Re:The Starlost on Could Fuller Take Trek Back To TV? · · Score: 1

    Just read about it, thanks for the link. I would totally watch this. Although the Amish-esque nature of the main characters is not my cup of tea, the premise is great. Somebody needs to make this.

  22. Re:How do you reinvent Trek? on Could Fuller Take Trek Back To TV? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm but you'd have to come up with some hokum about "regeneration" so you could recast the star every time he gets too big for his britches.

  23. Re:Star Trek is in "The Future" on Could Fuller Take Trek Back To TV? · · Score: 1

    And I thought I was the only one who called it "Hercules in Space".

  24. Re:Simple on What To Do With Old USB Keys, Low-Capacity Hard Drives? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Obviously your users haven't discovered the "send the job to every printer on site" trick yet. Works like a charm and I get to recycle stacks and stacks of orphaned documents.

  25. Re:Really? on The Last Will and Testament of Circuit City · · Score: 1

    I'm mailing my posts in. Why? How are you posting here?
