    legal action is the only real course of action to stop these guys

    I don't know, attacking them with pointy sticks seems reasonable to me, and much less expensive and time consuming than legal efforts.

    Ah, yes, a stanza of the Elven Saga-Songs of the Prickly Cactus Age. It loses some of its power without the 12-part nasal harmony and trollskin drums. That and the other 56 hours of singing, of course.

    Maybe, but if the pig won't charge you $500 for the privilege of taking it out to dinner... ;)

    There's only one 'n' in Tanhauser. It's a reference to Wagner.

    It's Tannhauser in the Columbia Encyclopedia and Wikipedia. There's an umlaut too, but I can't remember the html entity for it and whether /. would eat it or not. :)

    I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

  9. Re:Confusing on Open Source Social Bookmarking Service · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. The de.lirio.us [lirio.us] website is almost identical to the del.icio.us [del.icio.us] website. I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all, but you'll probably want to change your site design...

    I think the point is that since it's open source, now someone can.

  13. Re:Thank god for Jurassic Park... on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 5, Funny

    birds are believed to be whats left of dinosours as they evolved to today

    It'd be amusing if the T-Rex had the parrot's vocal abilities to mimic human voices.

    Of course, the only words they'd be exposed to and thus be able to mimic would be various versions of "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" and "OH DEAR GOD NORRUUUURRRGGGGLLLE!!!!" and that would just scare other people off.

    A sad life, the T-Rex's.

    Sigh.

    I think it's funny that everybody picks on him for saying it's supposed to be Yoda, while nobody points out that Spock is not a "Dr." :)

    Unless he's talking about a different Dr. Spock, for whom "Do or do not, there is no try" might be referring to raising children. :)
