  1. Re:Why is the/.-crowd so negative about the segway on Segway Hits the Auction Block · · Score: 0

    It's just easy to make fun of. I wonder if staunch horse buggy drivers sat around in the local salon berating Henry Ford.

    "For pete's sake, you have to turn the crank!"

  2. Customers who bidded on this segway also bought.. on Segway Hits the Auction Block · · Score: 5, Funny

    - A trip to outer space in a russian rocket
    - 2 tickets for the Taliban reality tour
    - 100 acres of soon to be beach front property in Arizona
    - Authentic area-51 paper thin like metal that can't be bent
    - The elephant man's bones
    - [insert porn star name here] underwear
    - the red pill

    Laf, not even close

  4. You sure it's not just ... on 2.5m Water Scorpion Stalks Southern Africa · · Score: 0

    ... a lost postal worker?

  5. Radio Shack is officially dangerous now. on Slashback: Playstation, CueCat, Games · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I would to to hit those fucking Radio Shack employees in the head with a hammer every time they ask me for my address when all I want to buy is a stupid battery.

    Now that they encouraging their empoloyees to use tools, it may not be safe to go in there anymore. Perhaps we'll get lucky and one of the clerks will mistake the horribly aging Terri Hatcher for a cue cat and put her out of her misery.

  6. Fuck studios and Friends! on Networks and Studios Against PVRs · · Score: 0

    Im so pissed off at TV these days. You know why there are fewer and fewer new episodes of your favorite show on each year? It's because they're paying those idiots WAY too much money for sub par acting.

    I think it's about time that these actors start getting paid for what they're really worth. In the meantime, Ill record Friends on my current TIVO and fast forward through the stupid ass commercials.

    Stay tuned to my next rant on why it's ok to steal music on mp3's cause the record companies screw the artists anyways.

  7. Re:Wife::Cook module next? on Quantum Programming with Perl · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I didn't know my wife read /.

    Sorry hon!

    I am a moron for saying "expand" when I meant to say "expect". I would have proof read my comment if it wasn't for that damned oven timer going off!

  8. Wife::Cook module next? on Quantum Programming with Perl · · Score: 0, Funny

    Much like the Quantum module, you can test it on Perl, but don't expand any real time applications any time soon.

  9. PDF Format? on Perl Mongers Perl Magazine · · Score: 0

    *groan* I hate pdf files. Could they offer it as a Perl script that I can download and execute? Now that would be cool!

    Maybe create a module:

    use Perl::Review;

  10. Get an Audrey! on A Kitchen Computer That's Actually Useful? · · Score: 1, Informative

    Get an Audrey with a USB ethernet adapter and you have a cheap kitchen internet appliance for a little more than 100 bucks. What's even better is that it runs QNX.

    I use my Audrey in my kitchen to pull up recipes, get the weather and even to control my whole house mp3 player.

    It's great for doing a quick search when you're too lazy to go to your desktop.

  11. Cell phones are replacing normal phones so.. on Verizon Launches 3G Network (Silently) · · Score: 0

    You know the trend on how people are starting to use their cell phones as their only phone. I wonder if one day, we will be using our cell phone as a replacement for our broadband at home...

  12. My first Palm on Palm Releases New Wireless Handheld · · Score: 0

    My first Palm Pilot Pro had a 160x160 grayscale screen and 1meg of memory. Who would have THUNK that 7 years later, Palm's newest handheld still has a grayscale screen [albeit, more shades of wonderful gray] and same screen size.

    Im not WinCE fan, but those color screens are enough to entice anyway to buy one. With all the money Palm raised from it's IPO and all the time it had to develop their newest wireless handheld, you would have thought that it would have definately been color with an increased screen size.

    I own a Palm VII now and see no reason to upgrade, especially when the Treo is coming down the line and hopefully a Sony wireless PDA.

  13. 3k or 3 PCs? on Dual 1Ghz G4 PowerMac With Extra Yummy · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    *cough* You have to be a moron to spend 3k on a mac that will be next year's garbage.

    Save your money and buy a new PC ever year.
