  1. Re:I want to be a paperback writer on For Us, The Living, by Robert A. Heinlein · · Score: 1

    Somehow, I think there's somebody else you should be yelling at more than him. :) What was it, an entire decology post mortem?

  2. fill in joke here on Microsoft: Patches, Patches Everywhere! · · Score: 3, Funny
    "They haven't got a clue."

    ...Yes, well...

  3. Re:That's it! on Friday Security Fun · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm switching to Fig Newtons.

    Don't bother. The handwriting recognition sucks. ;)

  4. Re:Number 6 on New Battlestar Galactica Premieres Monday · · Score: 1

    A part in an episode of CSI, where she played a model who ends up dead.

    Yeah, CSI Miami. Coincidentally, that episode was just replayed last Monday. I was surprised - she was quite convincing lying there on the autopsy table. ;)

  5. Re:'nother angle... on Peter Jackson Hints At The Hobbit · · Score: 3, Funny

    threw the book down and ran out of the room shrieking like a little girl.

    As long as you shrieked in Quenya, you have nothing to be ashamed of. ;)

  6. Re:Hulk on Lion And Lamb Project Lambasts Videogames · · Score: 1

    I think their point is that seeing the movie produced more violent reactions than actually portrayed in the Hulk film, though mostly of the "involuntary convulsing of stomach muscles normally associated with vomiting" variety.

  7. Re:so cool on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    That's not all she's full of.

  8. Re:Here come the gripes on Halo's Price Drop For Xbox, GameSpy Hookup For PC · · Score: 4, Funny

    Microsoft Game Studios is aquiring quite the reputation.

    I think you're more right using that verb than you intended.

  9. Re:You Know you have a problem when on How to Handle an Internet Outage · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm really sorry. It was just there for the taking.

    Now, that's no way to talk about his girlfriend! ;)

  10. Re:Go? on Comparing Man and Machine? · · Score: 1

    While I agree with your first paragraph, I think the point of these contests is not the outcome but rather the process by which the computers are taught to analyze. These help to push the study of both computer and human thought.

  11. Re:Aha! on Head Injury Induces Foreign Accent Syndrome · · Score: 3, Funny

    By "had a stroke" you mean of course "invaded by the Normans." ;)

  12. Re:Chess has Jumped the Shark on Kasparov Draws Game 4 and Match Against X3D Fritz · · Score: 1

    Arguably, Chess jumped the shark in 1972 in Iceland.

  13. Re:Imagine this other African language..... on Whistle While You Work · · Score: 2, Informative

    Useless knowledge ahoy!

    Actually, the song is called "The Fishin' Hole", lyrics to which can be found here or here (non-whistling MIDI here)....though I think your versions might just be the more popular in the long run. :)

  14. Re:Oh, Man... on New 'Mystery Meson' Sub-Atomic Particle Discovered · · Score: 1

    Lunch at the lab was cool until everybody lepton the bandwagon.

  15. Re:A "Fountainhead Boss"? (offtopic but I had to a on Fountainhead Boss On Machinima Perils · · Score: 1

    You're thinking of the non-quite-as-famous comic Randbert.

  16. Re:Scared now on First Reproducing Artificial Virus Created · · Score: 1

    Is that the future with the green dancing girls? I like that one!

  17. Re:OK, so which is it? on OSDL Pays For Linus Torvalds' SCO Defense · · Score: 1

    And probably linked to the american's bizarre hallucinations of personhood for corporations.

    Perhaps if more americans realised that corporations and other organisations were collections of people, the world would be a better place.


    Informative? Ah, no. The logic here is that "committee" is a singular noun, as is "corporation."

    Perhaps if more Anonymous Cowards realized that political trolling doesn't enter into grammar, Slashdot would be a better place.

  18. Re:They are. on Simpsons Fan Creates Real Tomacco Plant · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is IE also vulnerable?

    IE is *always* vulnerable. ;-)

  19. I got one up on you on Assorted Bits of Halloween · · Score: 1

    Druids starring Christopher Lambert. :)

  20. Re:Here's an easy way ... on Assorted Bits of Halloween · · Score: 1

    6 out of the 20 first pictures either has him with his tongue out or sweeting more than any man should when they are on the stage as the front man for a large corporation....that is just plan scary :)

    That's how he cools himself. If he doesn't stick his tounge out, he starts sweating uncontrollably. ;)

  21. Fweaky! on Assorted Bits of Halloween · · Score: 3, Informative

    One more cool Halloweeen link is Homestar Runner's pumpkin stencils:

  22. Hell... on Microsoft Adding Blogs to Longhorn? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hell, they'll get Blogger if they take over Google.

    And a Google disruption can mean only one thing: Invasion.

  23. Re:Holy time machine! on Google Considering Merger With Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    I dunno about April 1st, but this sure does explain the flying pigs on the way in to work this morning...

    Has Redmond frozen over, then? ;)

  24. Other Resources on Panther Problem Roundup · · Score: 4, Informative

    As usual, MacInTouch is doing a great job of staying on top of the issues. Also, Mac OS X Hints has been flooded with loads of new Panther hints the past few days.

  25. Re:This isn't right! on Online Fire Tracking? · · Score: 1

    Actually, that's still our plan out here: burn everything, then fall into the ocean to put it out. Clever, eh?
