  1. Re:Maybe it's for the good on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1

    Problem with disney stories is that they are so predictible, take a fairy tale, myth or a part of history, add a love story, give a normally inanimate object a face and voice(probably played by some hack of a comedian), everyone lives happily ever after and there you have it a disney movie.

  2. Re:When Mr. Gates go home on Israel v. Microsoft, Next Round · · Score: 1

    Double click on "My Documents"

    You forgot the plastic sheets and duct tape. Don't forget to seal yourself in an airtight room.

  5. Re:Good Ideas on what to protect. on Dumpster-Diving for Your Identity · · Score: 1

    Doesn't help much when the mail-person leaves the mail half hanging out anyway. We caught our neighbours drug addictted son with his fingers in our mailbox once... we beat the crap out of him.

  6. Re:An unformatted drive ? on Iraq's Open Source Possibilities · · Score: 1

    Considering Education, including universities were free in Iraq there should be 100s of thousands of well educated people ready to go.

  7. Re:Australians are a bunch of animal abusing scum! on Open Source Bill For Australian Capital Territory · · Score: 1

    In fact Sydney harbour is cleaner than it has for a long time... infact sharks are returning to the Harbour and the Parramatta river. Oh its only fish, yum.

    Oh I'm going to be modded down for this one :)

  9. Re:Crap? on Gaming Communities Cause Of TV Ratings Decline? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is also to much of the same stuff.

    One channel does a hospital show, all the others do a copy cat show.
    One channel does a crime show, next thing you know every channel has 3 of them.

    There is a true lack of orginality these days. It seems producers and writers are afraid to push the boundries.

  10. Re:We don't celebrate that crap... on Assorted Bits of Halloween · · Score: 1

    I am talking about wearing crappy superman, fairy outfits or putting a bed sheet over your head and expecting to get candy for it.

    I wonder if more people knew of its background all the god fearing christians would still celebrate it.

    .. You insensitive clod

    I'm in Australia

    Well some kids came around last night wanting candy, so we gave them a handful of what ever we had laying around.

    Most stupidist thing ever, some people seem intent on us celebrating it, even Aussie TV shows doing halloween specials.... whats next thanksgiving?

  13. Re:If you're a hardware manufacturer... on LG CD-ROMs Destroyed by Mandrake 9.2 · · Score: 1

    No, If you write software that can fuck up a drive even when doing a network install you should go back to writing code in qbasic, where you'll never hurt anything again.

  14. Drug runners on Personal Submarine for 845k · · Score: 1

    This could be useful for drug runners to transport drugs from latin american to the US.

    It has been reported that some large drug cartels have been trying to build their own submarines.

  15. Re:Cheaper over here? on For Americans, Imported Textbooks Can Be Cheaper · · Score: 1

    I would think for the Petrol and ciggies that is probably government taxes that make up most of the price. Perhaps for CD's too. For houses its probably demand that drives the price.

  16. Re:fattest nation on earth is USA on Dilbert Readers Rat Out Some Weasels · · Score: 1

    But doesn't it all balance out if you wash it down with diet coke? ;-)

  17. Re:Mandatory Camp Time? on 7th World Solar Challenge Underway · · Score: 1

    Well it gives them time to set up camp before the sun sets.

    And I wouldn't want to be in a car that really isnt built that strong at night. Trucks and road trains would run over them and not even know they did it.

  18. Re:Balmy??? on 7th World Solar Challenge Underway · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they meant boring?

  19. Re:Then Stop Misinforming /. Readers Please on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1

    Security hole discover --> Patched Released --> A little while late some spastic releases worm to take advantage of other spastics who didn't patch.

    Probably still need to over clock, with water-cooling, turning the details down a bit could help to.

  23. On the cheap, Cuban style on Amphibious RVing for the Masses · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Attach a few dozen 55 gallon drums to a 1951 chevy flatbed truck and set out to the US. They probably would have made it to if they wern't intercepted. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/6368557.htm

  24. Ok I need to upgrade. on Gaming Site Reviews.. Real Life? · · Score: 1

    Look at those gfx. will it run on my p4 2.4g and ti4200? Or can I turn down the details?

  25. Re:Not so surprising on CD Duplicator Refuses Linux Job, Citing MS Contract · · Score: 4, Informative

    It wouldn't be worth the risk of a big MS contract over 500 cd's anyway, to any cd copying company.
