  1. Re:Mentions comparible speeds to VMware... on Review of Sun's Free Open Source Virtual Machine · · Score: 1

    (Score:4, Informative)

    Um. I almost modded you up to +5, but I was afraid of the rift in space and time which would have surely been generated by such a paradox.

  2. Re:Another victim of C/C++ lack of array safety on Emergency Workaround For Oracle 0-Day · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually a better example of C/C++ knowing the size of the arrays would of been the sizeof() operator.

    You're thinking of the infamous `size've` operator.

  3. Re:Wow on Spore Prototypes Put Up By Maxis For Free Download · · Score: 1

    There is no 'OMGMYEYES' mod :(

  4. Re:In other words on Google Caught On Private Property · · Score: 1

    Thing is, though, it's legal for the state but not for the nation. Who do you listen to?

  5. Re:Or perhaps... on Linux Needs More Haters · · Score: 1

    you see, anyone can be a kernel developer!
    Hmm... You just gave me an idea for a movie. RedHatatouille.

  6. Re:The answer is right there on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I really think they should have spined up and voted this one down.

    I don't care if there's a bill that issues free healthcare and fixes social security. If part of that bill says that 10,000 orphans will get murdered, you don't "take the good with the bad". You throw that shit out and fix it.

  7. Re:what's the big deal? on Louisiana Passes Intelligent Design Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the problem. ID has already "lost the fight" but is now being propped up by law.

  8. Re:Whew, your telcos are safe. on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sure, Bush is a madman. I'm used to that by now, I no longer feel the rage so strongly.

    What really gets to me is that the damn Congress keeps rolling over and letting him get away with this shit. Sure, they huff and puff but they have no effing backbone to stand up to him when it comes time to vote. It's unacceptable, but still amazes me every. freaking. time.

  9. Re:Slaughterhouse Cases on PC Repair In Texas Now Requires a PI License · · Score: 1

    Really? You expected better of Texas? It was hard for me to even write those words in that order.

  10. Re:Great on Firefox 3 Already Rules the Roost · · Score: 1

    I'm going wherever they value loyalty the most.

  11. Re:So I guess the Internet is off the list? on The World's Nine Largest Science Projects · · Score: 1

    Obviously it can't be an experiment if the version number = 2.0.

  12. Re:haiku on Japanese Company Says Laws of Physics Don't Apply — to Cars · · Score: 1

    No, a jury decided it wasn't R. Kelly in those lyrics.

  13. Re:Why post AC? on Penny Arcade Game Sees Record Breaking Numbers · · Score: 1

    This is hardly a DRM issue anyway. There is one download per platform, which until unlocked functions as the demo. It's basically old shareware style, but it just happens to phone home ONE TIME per install. When was the last time you bought a game that had this *little* copy protection?

  14. Re:An excellent example on Penny Arcade Game Sees Record Breaking Numbers · · Score: 1

    They not only created the game, but also are trying to get into distributing other works as well. It's called Greenhouse.

  15. Re:Missing mouse pointer on Penny Arcade Game Sees Record Breaking Numbers · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's a patch, or at least a new build, out already. Check out the greenhouse site again.

  16. Re:appeals court here we come on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    8? lol. The books weren't on murder but police investigations. It all "looks" bad, but not bad enough to convict.

  17. Re:appeals court here we come on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    This jury should be able to convict him too, then! The amount of evidence is basically the same, and it sounds like he isn't up there on the personality charts either.

  18. Re:Large install base on AT&T, 2Wire Ignoring Active Security Exploit [Updated] · · Score: 1, Insightful

    By default they come with 32 bit WEP, I think. It's technically not "unsecured", but the difference is basically negligible :p

  19. Re:civ4 on Why Microsoft Surface Took So Long To Deploy · · Score: 2, Informative

    You're probably thinking of the semi-recently released PS3 game Eye of Judgment that uses an overhead camera to read the cards you place on the game mat.

  20. Re:Other logos on The Reality Distortion Field Is Real · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your comment made me chuckle and then immediately feel sad for myself.

  21. Re:software engineering != computer science on Professors Slam Java As "Damaging" To Students · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Isn't that kind of like saying science is not math? Of course it isn't technically, but computer programming sure is a great way to describe a lot of the theory and put it into practice, and in many ways make it easier to discuss.

  22. Re:It's only MOSTLY dead. on Toshiba Execs Declare HD DVD Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Except that for CDs, there's only CD-R. It's DVDs that have the + and - options.

  23. Re:So let's geek this out on IE 8 Passes Acid2 Test · · Score: 1

    I had the same thought, and frankly, wouldn't be too surprised.

  24. Do you hear that? on Cloned, Glow in the Dark Cats · · Score: 1

    Somewhere in the universe, Bob Barker is crying.

  25. Re:What? on 'w00t' Named 2007 Word of the Year · · Score: 1

    Except that the "words" to that song are "woomp, there it is". Woomp.

    Carry on.
