  1. Re:Completely misses the point! on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just a guess, but try pressing the buttons instead of smashing them.

  2. Re:Here, a rule that I propose.. planet versus oth on The Sun's 10th Planet... Sedna? · · Score: 5, Funny

    By that logic, Anna Nicole Smith qualifies. ;)

  3. Boy on Virtual Soccer Experiment Bonds Strangers · · Score: 4, Funny

    "When you get into that state of arousal, you are more likely to be able to bond socially with other people around you."

    Boy, the jokes just write themselves sometimes, don't they?

  4. Re:OT, but... Re:An article disproving this... on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 1

    Well, technically, that was disobeying Judah, not God, although the latter is the one that got pissed off and slew him. And from that passage, there does seem to quite a bit of multiplying going on.

  5. Re:An article disproving this... on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 1

    (You can even double check me: I can't remember a single instance in the Bible where God's command wasn't questioned...)

    "Be fruitful and multiply" seemed to go by without much backtalk.

  6. In other news... on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 5, Funny

    In related news, the Mayo Clinic has announced that if we eliminated cancer treatments, we would eliminate cancer.

  7. Sounds familiar on Tech Training Schools Going Bust · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now, it seems all these schools have produced are unemployed people with student loans and dubious certifications.

    So, kind of like Microsoft?

    [rimshot!]

    Thanks, I'm here all week! ;)

  8. Quaoar on Newly Found Planetoid Possibly Larger than Quaoar · · Score: 2, Funny

    Continuing the uber-Scrabble theme, I'd like the nominate Zzyzx as the new name. Sure, it isn't in any way mythological, but it has nice legends attached to it. And it's halfway to Vegas from here, so what more do you want? ;)

  9. Re:So true on William Gibson on his Tech Life and Latest Novel · · Score: 1

    click the icon that says "double click here for aol x.x"

    See, there's the exact problem right there. If they would just do what they're told! ;)

  10. Lord Kril on Army's MMO Game Sim Details Discussed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Can we just get to the Last Starfighter phase of all this military video gaming and get it over with? I want off-planet already! ;)

  11. Re:"...represents a milestone..." on Google's Bigger Index · · Score: 1, Funny

    Jeez, buddy, did somebody whiz in your Cheerios this morning? Give 'em a break, it's at least cool enough to merit a /. story, even if it doesn't meet up with the apparent need to land a man on the moon to warrant the barest modicum of excitement.

  12. Re:Mmmmmm.... on M&M's Pack Tighter Than Gumballs · · Score: 4, Funny
    That's why Peanut M&Ms exist, so they can make the bag look just as full as regular M&Ms, but with less chocolate!

    ...and yet they have more peanuts! Isn't science astounding?

  13. Code on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...Windows 2000 and Windows NT source code has been leaked to the internet.

    The Internet, however, being a polite sort of fellow and completely undesirous of the undoubtedly horrible ramifications of having such a beastie running around loose, gently replaced the source code and gave Windows a friendly pat on the head.

  14. Wow on Is Open Source Fertile Ground for Foul Play? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Igniting flame war in 5...4...we have main engine start...3...2...ignition!...1...

  15. Re:Good news for Sim City on Electronic Arts 'Scores' With Product Placement · · Score: 4, Funny

    I like this idea. Especially if I can send tornadoes after all the frickin' WalMart superstores and make Godzilla stomp all the McDonalds.

  16. Re:end of POTS? not yet.. on Audio/Video Conference with iChat and AIM · · Score: 2, Informative

    (aim,icq,msn,yahoo)

    While I'm not sure about other platforms' options, if you're on Mac OS X, Fire is an excellent multi-protocol client, covering AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo, and irc in one package.

  17. Re:Some are, some aren't on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    Besides It just feels wrong to to sitting in a tent in the middle of nowhere with a pc ;).

    Yeah, lemme know when you lug your Selectric III into the middle of Yosemite. I'll be the one in the next tent over annotating that day's digital pictures with my PowerBook. ;)

  18. Re:hurrying up and waiting at the DOD, and at DMV on US Govt Makes Times New Roman 14 Official Font · · Score: 1

    Well, to be far, the poster wrote "we can sent" which might be taken to mean we have the ability to do so, not that we have. ;)

  19. Forgot the subtitle on Darl Goes to Harvard · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hey, the poster forgot the subtitle for the presentation: "Defending Intellectual Property Rights in a Digital Age, or How to Make Money Without Really Trying"

  20. Re:open and accurate? on Wikipedia Reaches 200,000 Articles · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Modifiable by anyone" does not mean there are no checks and balances. RTFFAQ

  21. Re:Encyclopedia incomplete? on Wikipedia Reaches 200,000 Articles · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is this encyclopedia incomplete? I don't see a picture of cowboy neal under "handsome".

    I guess antonyms take up a lot of space. ;)

  22. Re:Uruklink? on Answers On LUGs, Life, and Linux in Iraq · · Score: 3, Funny

    You forgot the obligatory Tolkien Ring joke!

    You really must keep an *eye* on these things.

    I'm sorry, too. Whatever you had is apparently catching.

  23. Re:"Mail" is a mass noun on RHIC Computing Facility Crosses the 1 PB Mark · · Score: 1

    Hell, they could have said:

    "A mail sent to RCF users contained..."

    and been much more consise and spiffy.

    Eschew surplusage!

  24. Re:This article doesn't make sense..... on Confessions of a Mac OS X User · · Score: 5, Funny

    Everyone in the office was coming over to slobber over it...

    I think I know what the problem was. ;)

  25. Hmm. on Confessions of a Mac OS X User · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sometimes I feel guilty about useless navel-gazing, as should anyone who bases computer usage on guilt. Good God, use it or don't, and stop whining about it!
