  1. Re:1.21 JIGAWATTS!?!?!?!!? on DVD Review: Back to the Future Trilogy (Widescreen) · · Score: 1

    I pronounce it correctly. It just grates when I hear someone mispronounce it. I am happy that Doc Brown knows how to pronounce it, it probably would have wrecked the movie for me if he he didn't...

  2. Re:Here's the difference on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 1

    And you prove my point...

  3. Here's the difference on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 2, Funny

    My girlfriend quit smoking and drinking the day she found out she was pregnant. If she didn't, I'd be getting spammed with "She's evil, make her stop" and stuff. Now, if I had nude pics of my pregnant girlfriend, I'd be spammed with "Where's the pics at??"

  4. Re:It makes sense on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 1

    Alcohol and tobacco manufacturers would argue you there. Not that I would... But around here, clerks are supposed to card anyone that looks as old as 28 for alcohol and tobacco, they don't card at all for porn though...

  5. Spock's brain? on Balancing Brains · · Score: 1

    Brain and brain, what is brain?

  6. Well..... on What Would Happen If the Moon Crashed To Earth? · · Score: 1

    Considering the moon is moving away from the earth, I think, if the moon were to crash into the earth, then pigs may fly, and hell just might freeze over as well...

    Thats just a guess though...

  7. Hmmm on Solaris 9: Sticker Shock · · Score: 1

    Are they trying to out Microsoft Microsoft or something?

  8. Re:Popunders are definitely NOT the most annoying on Pop-Under Ads Patented · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with you. I prefer pop-under ads, which I can close without even viewing to any other type of advertisement windows, or especially the cover-up type.

  9. Re:Vader is Luke's Father?!?!? on Review: Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    Well the first half hour or whatever of Star Wars shows that C-3PO and R2-D2 had never met before. Or at least that C-3PO was totally lost of Tatooine. The only reason they (or at least 3PO) were written into the prequels was to give familiar characters. At least the "introduction of future characters bit" of Boba Fett (spoiler) wasn't as forced...

  10. My yahoo email account on Seems Nobody Gives A Damn About Privacy · · Score: 1

    is just a spam receptacle, thats all it is. And in the past couple months the amount of spam it has been picking up has vastly dropped off from the time before. So I see nothing bad that has come from it...

  11. Also be sure to... on Clear Hard Drive Mods · · Score: 1

    Use the Head & Shoulders, and probably a hairnet as well.

  12. Re:The best way to convert people from Microsoft.. on Borking Outlook Express · · Score: 1

    Yes, though the message source thing mentioned in one of those emails is viewable in Outlook Express, whether or not it is in Outlook I am not sure.

  13. Re:Jury Duty on Driver's Licenses to Become National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Men in the US are required to have a certain piece of identification once they turn 18, until I believe the age of 26. Other than this, I don't know of any other legally required identification.

  14. Re:All those plugs... on New External Sound "Card" · · Score: 1

    I've been looking at nForce chipset motherboards for my next purchase, with onboard audio and SPDIF out.

  15. All those plugs... on New External Sound "Card" · · Score: 1

    And the only plug I require, SPDIF Out for my speakers, it doesn't have. Guess I'll not be considering that for future purchase...

  16. Re:Actor still, still seeking work... on Joss Whedon Is Creating a Sci-Fi Drama For Fox · · Score: 1

    So much for typecasting, huh?

  17. Re:I quit watching Weakest Link on Wil Wheaton playing for EFF · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm if you were playing for the money for yourselves, I could see eliminating any threats. But it was all for charity... no matter who wins, it is for a worthy cause, I can't see why you wouldn't let the best man win.

  18. Re:I'm in on The Real Mission to Mars · · Score: 1

    Yeha, same with me after reading the Kim Stanley Robinson series. I still haven't finished it though... got about 7/8 of the way through the second book. I'll finish it some day. Yeah, on the trip to Mars... heh

  19. Sure... if.. on The Real Mission to Mars · · Score: 1

    Hey, if there's a free trip to Mars in it when we start going, sign me up first!

  20. Sounds like they've been grounded on More Details of MS/DOJ Deal · · Score: 2, Funny

    Parent: "You're grounded. If you don't stay in your room the whole month you'll be grounded for another month."

    Child ignores grounding, goes in and out as they please.

    End of month, parent: "You didn't stay in your room, you're grounded for another month."

    Child still ignores grounding...

  21. Re:GRUB ? on Red Hat 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Oh my gosh! The BSDs use gcc as well! Does that mean we have to start calling them GNU/BSD now?

  22. Re:GRUB ? on Red Hat 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Well shoot, I've been using GNU GRUB in Debian all this time and calling it just GRUB, not knowing any better. I guess I'll have to change my habits...

  23. You'll be sounding like... on Consonants Not Required · · Score: 1

    The adults on the Peanuts cartoons talking to your computer.

  24. About the OraCard on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 1

    Mother unwed? We're not implying Larry Ellison is a bastard, are we?

  25. Re:driver's license argument on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 1

    You're not a criminal I see. You've never driven as much as 1 MPH over the limit, traded mp3s, or made copies of rented/borrowed computer software/video tapes. I'm so proud of you!
