  1. Re:To be fair on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    Oh, and you have to download applications to unhide hidden directories in Finder, or use the terminal which requires knowledge of UNIX commands.

    Unless, of course, you'd rather use the spiffy "Go to Folder" command under the Go menu (with a convenient apple-shift-G keyboard shortcut) and type in your hidden directory that way.

  2. Re:Classical != Quiet on Normalizing Music? · · Score: 1

    I find it great when O Fortuna comes on to crank the quite part up to a normal volume - then when it suddenly becomes loud my windows explode... And the looks from other drivers at a stop light are great when that happens in the summer with the windows down!

    So, do your doors bulge outward when your windows explode when they're down? ;D

  3. Re:That sucks on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    Well, get rid of the search form widget and type "google foobar" in your location bar. Or "imdb foobar" or whatever. Read up on Quick Searches and create your own.

  4. Has to on Duke Nukem Forever Physics Impress · · Score: 2, Funny

    Has to have the latest physics technology since its release will freeze over Hell and give the power of flight to pigs, not to mention pulling one of the seals off the Book of Judgment and releasing the End Times. :)

  5. Re:One word... on UK Doctors Cure Type 1 Diabetes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sweet

    You must have lived a very insulinated life to make a joke like that.

  6. Re:Windows 2003 breakin challenge on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 1

    I wonder if somebody could break into Windows 2003 in the same amount of time?

    Well, sure, but technically it's supposed to be a *challenge*. ;D

  7. Re:Apple marketing has improved on Apple I Replica Creation · · Score: 4, Funny

    FYI, the original model was marketed at $666. I think it's safe to say that Apple's marketing strategies have improved a bit since then.

    That was during the short-lived "Think Demonic" phase, in which the Apple logo briefly grew horns. You know how Apple's corporate headerquarters is at "1 Infinite Loop" in Cupertino? That's how they trapped the horrible devil-beast that had taken control of them, putting all of Northern California in mortal peril -- capturing him in a building-sized Moebius strip.

    That time period is also where the mutant dog-cow Clarus came from, but it's probably best not to mention her.

  8. Re:Jeez, I got all excited... on OGRE 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah, me too. Bastards, messing with my nostalgia. ;) Remember the GEV expansion?

  9. Re:That's it on Sun Storms Deplete Ozone, Too · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm done using their Java. Here I come Microsoft.

    Nah, screw Microsoft, get a Mac instead.

    Now I know everybody makes jokes about the Mac's ozone only having one Oxygen atom, but you can easily buy a third-party molecule with the three Oxygen atoms you're used to.

  10. Re:Fabulous Thunderbirds???! on Is Your OS Tough Enough? · · Score: 1

    I don't know, that was a pretty cool song the first 4700 times I heard it. ;)

  11. Re:Ho Chi Minh beard on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I sense a new unit of measurement coming.

    Joining Volkswagen Bugs, Rhode Islands, and Libraries of Congress: the new monetary unit "Seasons of Trek", an amount of dollars necessary to fund one season of Star Trek.

  12. Re:The Interview on Microsoft Admits Targeting Wine Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    Being for stoner AND alchoolic

    Somebody's had tee many martoonis!

  13. Re:Mac Tivo? on Apple to Buy TiVo? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Great. Now my Tivo will play even fewer games.

    Wait till you see the one-button remote control. ;)

    (I kid because I love.)

  14. Re:Oooooh .... on New York Times Buys About.com for $410 Million · · Score: 2, Funny

    bla bla bla bla bla bla

    You misspelled ad.

  15. Re:lower TCO? That's rich... on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 1

    How do you get to be the richest software company in the world by having the lowest TCO?

    Volume? ;)

  16. Re:No ! on NASA Proposes Warming Mars · · Score: 0

    But then we'll just get cancelled.

    Only if we let Rick Berman control what we do.

  17. Re:Three rules safe. on Household Emergent Behavior? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A machine that could even distinguish a people from an inanimate object would be a major breakthrough.

    "Is it moving?" might be a good place to start the if statements.

    Then, "Is it making noise?"

    If so, "Is it waving a torch at my sensors?" or "...shooting me with its puny projectile weapons?" or "...wriggling and squishy when I step on it?" are logical next steps.

  18. Re:Windows on Worm Hits Windows Machines Running MySQL · · Score: 1

    Only because people don't know about Firebird.

    Web browser, right? Wonder what ever happened to them... ;)

  19. What about the galactic boundary? on NASA to Map Solar System Boundary · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reminds me of that Star Trek TOS episode -- the first after the pilot if I recall correctly -- where they "break through" the "galactic boundary," thus triggering god-like powers (and accompanying morality tale) in a couple of crew members.

    You also get to see the phaser rifle for one of the few times ever in that episode. :)

  20. Re:I think it doesn't matter on RSS and Weblog Ads? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The same way we have gotten used to ads on websites, the same way we will get used to ads in RSS feeds.

    If by "gotten used to" you mean "blocking with extreme prejudice," then yes, I will be "getting used to" RSS adverts as well. :)

  21. Re:An honor? on Writing Fiction Using SubEthaEdit · · Score: 4, Funny

    Worst part about it is they ask you for your address and phone number before they'll give you the award! ;)

  22. Neil on Robert Zemeckis to Direct Beowulf Movie · · Score: 4, Informative

    Neil Gaiman just posted about this in his online journal.

  23. In Soviet Berkeley... on Tremors Predict California Earthquakes · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    In Soviet Berkeley, tremors discover you.

  24. Re:Why are we celebrating this? on War of the Worlds, Chocolate Factory Trailers · · Score: 1

    IIRC correctly? Dear Og, somebody shoot me now please before I reveal my PIN number.

    Too late, I saw you using it at the ATM machine.

  25. Re:Wait a second. on AOL Locks Out AIM Screen Names · · Score: 1

    That is entirely my point. Some people read about IRC and, without ever taking the time to investigate it for themselves, declare that it's the preserve of "hackers", and decide to purely stick to IMs.

    You say that like it's a bad thing. ;)
