    No they won't try anything so drastic.

    Don't forget there's a certain governor of Florida being groomed now to carry on the legacy.

  2. Re:Unreal AI is *dang* good on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 3, Funny

    they're a bunch of babies or something, requiring constant attention, and can't make it to the bathroom without getting blown to hell, let alone to a flag

    Sounds like the Sims. ;)

  3. Re:Hmm... on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 2, Funny

    now, feel free to flame away because I broke /. policy of disliking on principle all lucas projects, real or hypothetical, post Empire.

    Well, that and you used "money" as an adjective. ;D

  4. Re:The Inquirer? on Inquirer Blasts Mozilla for Microsoft-Style Bashing · · Score: 1
    An easy mistake to make. One is a parasitic, bloodsucking leech that would die if it weren't for the subjects of its sensationalistic titillation...

    ...and the other one is spelled with an E. ;)

  5. Re:Pencil/Paper on A Cheap and Portable Word Processor? · · Score: 3, Funny

    and it's a lot readable

    You sure about that? ;)

    It's Heisenberg all over again!

    ...or is it?

    Wow, a Bill Clinton joke. Talk about your topical humor. Got any Nixon knock knock jokes or Spiro Agnew riddles to really keep up with the times? :P

    Good God, where did that giant Martian emoticon come from?!!! We're dooooooooommmmmed!!!!

    Binary digits are bits Trinary digits are...

    Trits. ;)

  12. Re:The king is dead... on Internet Explorer's Share Dips Below 90% · · Score: 1

    If you poke a hole in a body -- or for the squeamish in the audience, a balloon -- it will begin to empty of its contents. At some point, it will drop to 90% capacity and yet could still be said to be almost dead. ;)

  13. Re:de rigueur on Enterprise Finale Airing Tonight · · Score: 1

    "It's dead, Jim."

    Surely you meant to say de rigor? As in mortis? ;)

  14. Re:Alright alright already... on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1

    It was a long time ago, OK?

    Yeah, yeah, in a galaxy far, far away. That's still no excuse! ;)

  15. Re:is it... on Due Next Year: Dell's 19-inch Laptop · · Score: 1

    or is it just tech-supported there?

    Given the muscle mass of the average geek, I'd say you'd need three or four techs to support this laptop. ;)

  16. Re:Google's Click History Asset on Cracking the Google Code... Under the GoogleScope · · Score: 1

    I did do that in FireFox, but apparently there are strange things afoot at the Circle K. :)

  17. Re:Google's Click History Asset on Cracking the Google Code... Under the GoogleScope · · Score: 3, Informative

    Incase you hadn't noticed google links are direct.

    You sure about that? Try copying and pasting a Google results link.

    For example, let's search Google for "elluusive". The first result was your slashdot "homepage", at http://slashdot.org/~eluusive, which at first glance seems to be a direct link. But if you right-click on the link and copy it, paste it somewhere and you'll find something along these lines:

    http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http%3A// slashdot.org/~eluusive&ei=A_-AQubaOq2gYNujqccO

  18. Re:You know... on Kansas Challenges Definition of Science · · Score: 1

    Funny, I usually cry fowl when I'm pigeon-holed, too.

  19. Re:Microsoft's Underdog on Gates on Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    --DOINK!--

    It looks like you're trying to destroy another company! Would you like to:

    a) Buy it and assimilate it into your company, then claim to the media that this constitutes "innovation."

    b) Buy it and lock the employees into their buildings to starve to death once the vending machines give out.

    c) Buy it and send Ballmer over to annoy the hell out of them.

    d) Buy a country and send its armed forces to wipe all assets of the company from the face of the Earth.

  20. Re:Successful Blockbuster on Revenge of the Sith a "Blood Bath" · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of when we saw The Grudge in the theater and somebody had their child in there. Our jaws dropped when we first heard the kid.

    Some people just have no freakin' clue.

  21. Re:This is not a troll, but a query... on Practical Common Lisp · · Score: 1

    Yeah, too bad it doesn't make you extra cool! ;)

  22. Blog? on The Darth Vader Blog · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Journal! So...you have a Live Journal. Your Mood icon has now betrayed it, too. Google was wise to hide it from me. Now the search engine's failure is complete. If you will not turn to the blog side, then perhaps it will."

  23. Programming? on Professional Excel Development · · Score: 4, Funny

    My daddy didn't need Excel to make grocery lists, nor PowerPoint to give a speech, nor Word to send a letter.

    My daddy also called "spreadsheet programming" "math" and did it in his head or with a slide rule. ;D

  24. Re:There are lots of opinions on altruism on Security for the Paranoid · · Score: 1

    A healthy sense of risk doesn't necessarily make you altruistic or "soft" as you snidely put it, just reasonable. Judging from how strong the urge to socialize is in primates (including us of course) after millions of years of evolution I'd say that paranoia is not a strong predictor for survival.

    OK, point made, Mr. Scaredy Cat. ;)
