  1. Re:Because it IS Slashdot? on China Locks in its Net-Citizenry · · Score: 1

    There is no evil. There is only ungood. As in "Your use of newspeak is double-plus-ungood." ;)

  2. Re:UCLA vs. UCB ? on A New Way to Grow Bones · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think someone from U.C. Berkeley pulled a fast one on the University of California Los Angeles.

    Naw, the other guys are just working on the more complicated University of California Liver Augmentation.

    Well, as the old saying goes, what doesn't quill us makes us stronger.

  4. Re:Why on RMS Weighs in on BitKeeper Debacle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not really "all people in software" -- it's only the loudest voices you hear.

    The rest are too busy doing actual work to give a crap about stupid "my hammer is bigger than your swiss army knife" games.

    That was a really fowl joke, you turkey.

    Oh, him? He's harmless. Part of the free software movement at Berkeley in the seventies. I think he did a little too much LBS.

    Where is everyone getting this spelling from?

    Well, if you want to diculous again, you pretty much have to call it rediculous. ;)

  8. Re:Madness on We're Open enough, Says Microsoft · · Score: 1

    That sound you just heard was 10,000 Microsoft lawyers, all getting a boner.

    Somehow, I don't think in that case that 10,000 Microsoft lawyers would make that much of a sound. ;)

    Well, they could just change the name slightly. You know, shift the letters one place in the alphabet....

    Of course, "GZK" is kinda hard to pronounce. ;)

  11. Re:Useability? on Improving the Windows XP User Interface? · · Score: 1

    You know, if you just installed linux, it would take care of all of those in one fell swoop.

    Well, except for the decent fonts thing. ;D

    Hey, this is a case where "I will replace you with a very small shell script" actually applies! ;)

  13. How zen on Amit Singh's Challenge: Find a Decade-Old Bug · · Score: 4, Funny

    If a bug fails in an OS, and no one finds it, does it make a sound?

  14. Hmm on Randomly Generated Paper Accepted to Conference · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do they accept randomly generated quotes from Linus Torvalds? ;)

  15. Re:Plastic has this problem... on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 1

    Well, as of writing this my dishwasher is just cleaning my IBM keyboard. I wanted to try this for years but never had the balls to. Today is the day. I will post the results later. Wish me luck...

    So may we safely assume that if you don't post, it didn't go so well? ;)

    Wait, am I thinking of a different channel? Please don't tell me the "M" is for "Microsoft."

    The "M" is for "Marketing."

    Marketing killed the video star.

  17. Re:NASA's Missing the Mark on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 4, Funny

    Then it would have to be NOSA instead of NASA, which would piss off NOAA to no end, forcing the president to combine them under DHS into the Nautical/Aeronautic Defense Administration or NADA.

    God, exoskeletons have been done to death -- see one giant bipedal forklift, you've seen them all.

    Get back to me when we have commercial powered endoskeletons. Preferably with the razor-like claw add-on.

    You forgot to post it on your wiki. I took care of it already.

  21. April 1st on What Dirty Tricks Did You Use for April Fool's? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This isn't an actual dirty trick, but several years ago I started a new job on the first of April. I was the usual combination of excited and nervous on the first day, naturally, and had been deposited in my new cubicle to wait for someone.

    Suddenly there was an alarm, and people in hard hats were coming through saying there had been an "earthquake" and that everyone needed to get under their desks.

    Seems my first day at work coincided with the annual earthquake drill.

    Or had it...?

    Well, it had, but thanks to years of April 1st conditioning, I hopped up just to make sure there wasn't a crowd of people around the side of the cubicle laughing at the new guy. :)

  22. ob old commercial on Court Denies Smucker's PB&J Patent · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With a name like Smucker's, it has to be, uh, patent pending.

    the same question can be asked of Apple

    When Apple has ~95% of the personal computer market, then it will be the same question. As it is, it isn't. :)
