  1. In other news... on AMD's 64-Bit Chip · · Score: 2

    I can't wait until the Voodoo3 is announced! Damn, that chip is gonna be sweet!

  2. Targeted Customer Base on More PlayStation 3 Grid Computing Details · · Score: 2
    I think the distributed computing method in Playstation 3 is to appeal to all of Sony's Iraqi customers :).

    Nerds in Iraq don't fantasize about Beowolf Clusters of things, but rather Playstation clusters.

  3. Re:I can just imagine on Panicking In Morse Code · · Score: 2
    feed me

    You keep forgetting that a lot of these panicks happen because of updated software. That's why I personally want my kernel to say:

    Who poisoned the freshmeat kernel patch section?

    Now if I can get a sound clip of Tom Hanks saying that, I'm set.

  4. Re:Their final humilation on Transmeta Lays off 40% of its Workers · · Score: 2
    I'm somehow reminded of the Stonecutters episode of the simpsons. They were going to fire Linus, but then realized that he's responsible for half of the press of their company.

    CEO: Remove the Penguin suit of shame!
    Linus: Woohoo!
    CEO: Present the Penguin suit of triumph.

    (Minions carry out suit twice as big)

    Linus: Doh!

  5. Hack it. on More on Orbital Space Debris · · Score: 2
    "How do they identify 'garbage'?" - Would the ISS qualify?"

    Oh dear God, that'd be the BEST! Imagine being able to hack a garbage collection satellite, and knock random satellites out of orbit.

    Some people consider defacing Yahoo as having enough people see. Imagine having a flickering bright light fall over the city of your choice.

    Damn I... uhhm, I can't wait to get my friend... ummm, yeah, my friend more information on how to hack... Ummm, yeah.

  6. Call me Paranoid... on The Tangled Web Of Fiber Optics Lines & Gates · · Score: 3, Interesting
    But there was a story on Slashdot about an Editorial on The Pulpit in regards to the death of TCP/IP. Robert Cringley's article puts forth the idea that Microsoft wishes to banish the protocol in favor of its own non-anonymous, proprietary system.

    If Bill Gates owned every single piece of fiber in the US, it's definately a step in that direction. Perhaps even the only thing preventing a standards change now.

    You can find the article here:

  7. Now all we need... on Build Your Own Virus · · Score: 1, Troll
    ...is a "virus" that straightens teeth, removes the drawl from people's voices, and causes family trees to start having forks. Either that, or kills off people with those qualities.

    Gawd, I hate talking about suicide.

  8. How goatse.cx redirecting is done. on Easter Eggs in Web Sites? · · Score: 2, Troll
    If your server supports mod_rewrite, put this into either the conf file, or .htaccess for that directory.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://your_domain.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.your_domain.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG)$ http://www.goatse.cx/hello.jpg [R]

    I don't know if goatse.cx blocks people stealing that image, so you might have to copy it to your server. It's so wrong, but I love it :)

  9. Net Nexus huh? on Net-Nexus Seoul · · Score: 3, Funny
    All that bandwidth and gaming and stuff... I'm reminded of the matrix for some reason. All that computing power. On the virge of turning against us...

    Wow... I always wondered where all those human bodies encased in slime REALLY were.

    I guess we're all really encompassed in goo somewhere in Korea. It's okay...

    I would have preferred Thailand for all the cheap sex when I decide to take the red pill and wake up, but I can live.

  10. 8 hours? Forgot something? on Software Engineering at Microsoft · · Score: 4, Funny
    Complete build of win2k time is 8hrs on 4way PIII and requires 50GB of hard drive space.

    Some goofy Microsoft Intern forgot to put -j 4 along with compliation.

    Either that, or they compiled it on Win9x (which has NO multiprocessor support).

  11. imagination on US Army to Test Laser Based Mine Clearing Device · · Score: 4, Funny
    Why do I imagine some bad guy dressed like Mike Myers going:

    Fire the "Laser"

  12. Not a good idea. on Nintendo Hires Walking Gamers · · Score: 2
    I can imagine on the news some young kid with a TV strapped to him being shot at the airport because he was screaming the word "Bomberman" at the top of his lungs.

    Either that, or an angry mob of people'll hog tie the kid up with the controller wires he has hooked up to him.

  13. The solution to the OpenGL problem on Microsoft Claims IP Rights on Portions of OpenGL · · Score: 2
    OpenOpenGL

    Audience applauses

    Thank you, Thank you!

  14. Re:I should have listened to the theme song on Review: Men In Black II · · Score: 2
    Sooo... If there was a movie about Los Angeles sinking into the ocean, and the opening of the movie had the song Ænima as its opener, you wouldn't watch it?

    I suppose it's different, than Men in Black. I imagine a movie with that as an opener has the potential of making a lot of people think. Not by turning it into a 9/11 tragedy clone, but by actually realizing what needs to be flushed from the world.

    Oh well, there's no way anyone would want to see it. In wartime, America is perfect, right? Right!

    So pass me the popcorn! I'm helping the economy by going to see this one!

  15. ha ha! on Video Games Found To Decrease Brain Activity · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I was gonna say something witty and insightful here, but I can't think of anything.

    Stop playing WarCraft 3... It's enough that looking at all that porn is making you go blind, you hoser!

  18. Regulations on Why Japan Gets the Cool Stuff · · Score: 2

    I can't help but think that a lot of what keeps stuff out of the US sooner are the regulations that go into a lot of electronic products.

    I can think of quite a few things. I think of Celphones (any Nokia phone takes forever to get approval here), pieces of Video Equipment with low pass filters that the FCC puts on to protect other things from being interfered.

    It's the way that things work in america. With the FCC, with the FDA, anything like that. America isn't bleeding edge like Japan, but we do it for a reason. It prevents us from putting out headache medicines that cause birth defects in children, and Cell-phones that disrupt pacemakers.

    That's life.

    One dimensional lego objects are cool, but can you make a machine out of them that keeps turning faster and faster?

    Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that this post obeys the laws of thermodynamics!

  24. Batjet? on Boeing Blended Wing Body Aircraft · · Score: 3, Funny

    It looks like the BatJet Tonight on our featured flights, we have Batman, and Batman returns at the choosing of Michael Keaton, our honorary resident pilot.

  25. RAED on A Terabyte of Data on a Laptop Hard Drive · · Score: 3, Funny
    So, considering how expensive this is, shouldn't putting these puppies in parallel be instead RAED? (Redundant Array of Expensive Drives)?

    In all honesty, it sounds like one of those leet haxor people talking.
