  1. Re:The abbreviated list on Unusual, Obscure, and Useful Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    And don't forget about Car Analogy Linux.

    It is like putting 2 bottles of octane booster in a 10 gallon gas tank.

  2. Re:report it to the fcc on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    So using my home brew 5 watt FM transmitter to loop Slayer's "God Hates Us All" on the same band as a local Christian station for days on end... that might be a problem?

  3. Re:Why joking? on Need a Friend? Rent One Online · · Score: 1

    No, you didn't write that.

    One of our reptilian overlords channeled his evil scaliness through your keyboard.

    Just ask David Icke. :D

  4. Re:Bad Idea on Flying Cars Hop Slightly Closer With FAA Weight Waiver · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow.

    20mm cannons on the roof?

    Awesome.

    Bring on the flying cars!

  5. Re:Doesn't Matter Anyway on Canadian Arrested Over Plans to Test G20 Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From where I am seated, the fellow is "alleged" to have been involved in "protest activity".

    What forces are at work on the source? It appears to be no more than a mainstream Canadian news outlet.

    Seems possible that the television-addicted diet-cola-addled Canadians will scoop it up with the same glee that television-addicted diet-cola-addled Americans accept the heavily weighted spins of FOX and CNN.

  6. Re:So what? on David X. Cohen Talks About Futurama's New Season · · Score: 1

    We really appreciate your post.

  7. Re:Proverbs come to mind... on Noisebridge Attempts to Teach Science To Juggalos · · Score: 1

    A safer way to put it is like so:

    Never try to teach a pig to sing. It is a waste of time, and it annoys the pig.

  8. Re:I still prefer desktops. on Flight of the Desktops · · Score: 2, Funny

    You should get this power setup for your desktop:

  9. Re:$150K per song? on LimeWire Sued Again, Publishers Seek $150,000 Per Song · · Score: 1

    My ratio is like .00027, so I would owe them around 63 cents.

    Leech FTW!

  10. Re:Circuit Cellar on Modern Day Equivalent of Byte/Compute! Magazine? · · Score: 1

    I notice that the "Department" of this story says "must-have-tape-drive". That would have been a good thing to have in the 80's. I burned up several small computers (an Atari 600XL and a Sinclair among them) by leaving them on for weeks at a time due to lack of storage. Pages and pages of handwritten code... seems sort of boring now, but at the time it was a lot of fun. Anyway, in 1989 I picked up an old TI-99/4A from a friend for $20 and ordered a cable to hook it up to a tape drive. The TI was a lot of fun. It was necessary to remap the bits in ASCII characters in order to create graphics. That meant running out of usable characters on a graphically intensive program. Kids these days are so damned spoiled. Now get off my lawn.

  11. Re:tl;dr on A Battle of Wits On the Net's Effect On the Mind · · Score: 1

    The only deep reading I do is on BDSM sites.

  12. Re:Is it really that hard? on Pentagon Seeking Out Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Isn't the 2nd amendment the "right to remain silent"?

    That's what Hannity told me.

  13. Re:Thanks god. on Google Introduces, Then Scraps, Bing-Style Background Images · · Score: 1

    Not true.

    I have a Gmail account and and every time I search for "turd sandwich" on YouTube I get that lame "Log in to view this adult content" screen.

  14. Re:Opera users didnt have a problem on Google Introduces, Then Scraps, Bing-Style Background Images · · Score: 1

    I now own your domain.

    If you want it back, send me a naked picture of your mother.

  15. Re:Having actually READ the novel on Cory Doctorow On For the Win, Gold Farming, and DRM · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean "SYFY"?

  17. Re:government meet the court system on FTC Staff Discuss a Tax on Electronics To Support the News Business · · Score: 1

    Sure would make it easy to squash a story.

    Print a 100 word story about some governmental mistake or large corporate scam on page 65, qualify as the first entity to report on it, then do not print the story again, EVER.

    In 3 or 6 months when the moratorium ends, who will remember it?

    Certainly not the Fox News and American Idol trash.

  18. Re:The romans build concrete buildings on Sticky Rice Is the Key To Super Strong Mortar · · Score: 1

    These days fiber is the way to go.

    Concrete with fiber in it is good and strong, and in my experience (dad pours concrete for a living) it cracks less than concrete without.

    Liars are some of the most creative people in the world.

  23. Re:RTFM on Low-Level Format For a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    A piece of a slain hero?

    So you mean, like digging a fingernail out of a kobold's stool sample?

    And beside, REAL men only play FIRST edition.

    You big siss. :)

  24. Re:RTFM on Low-Level Format For a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    Aren't there some material components for that spell?

    The spell requires one dead body.
