  1. Re:This is old and misleading news on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 1

    And afterwards some birds do worse things with the remains: Duck necrophilia

  2. Re:Try painting the blades on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 1

    Why don't we just paint a big evil eye on the towers like they do on jet turbines?

    That way all the birds are scared away and we will have hundreds of Sauron replicas all over the landscape.

  3. Re:Inside Knowledge... on Airspeed Velocity Of An Unladen Swallow · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure they actually stated the speed of an unladen swallow in the movie.

    All one can say now is (raising one's hand): "Ooooooo... Ooooooo... I know the answer to this one!!!"

    Be prepared for puzzled stares.

  4. Re:Huh??? on Microsoft Proclaims Death of Free Software Model · · Score: 1

    ... It's still made from rotten fish.

  5. Cameo on 'Star Wars: Clone Wars' Premieres Tonight · · Score: 1

    I just hope that Samurai Jack would have a cameo as a Jedi :-)

    Would be nice to see Dexter somewhere too...

  6. Hmmmm on Multiple Monitors Increase Productivity · · Score: 1

    So, wider and longer is better than having two at once?

    How about three?

  7. Sign of the times on Author of Paper Critical of Microsoft is Fired · · Score: 1

    I guess if you criticize Microsoft you get burned @stake :-)

  8. Re:US vs. Them on China Joins EU in Galileo Satellite Venture · · Score: 1

    The US will not give up control of the GPS system to any entity as long as there are any distinct military advantages to be gained by having total control of the GPS system. And rightly so!

    This brings up an interesting quandry for China if they decide to build GPS-guided smart bombs. Will the EU participation in Galileo subject them to a GPS blackout if they try to use said bombs on Taiwan? And if the EU does not implement such a blackout, would the EU be considered culpable?

  9. Re:well... on Building a Better Bomb · · Score: 1

    No problem, I have one here - lemme toss it to you.

  10. I've heard of people falling for France... on Skydiving Across the English Channel · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...but this takes the cake.

  11. Re:Things I've heard from Audiophiles... on Hydrogenaudio AAC Listening Test Results · · Score: 1

    Make that: Audiophiles have significantly higher levels of fecal material than the typical listener :-)

  12. Re:Yeah! on EMI and Sony Lose Lawsuit Over Crippled Music Disks · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, fsck doesn't fix the filesystems for these crippled cds :-(

    Try using the dump command instead.

  13. Re:No cigar? You're kidding right? on Handspring Shows Treo 600 Smartphone at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    It must be just me but I initially read it to say:

    "Clearly, this Treo 600 has been designed to wow consumers looking for a phone/PDA/MP3 convergence device..."

  14. Re:We Will Crush You? on QNX: When an OS Really, Really Has to Work · · Score: 1

    I don't think there's any problem with saying that to your competitor.

    Actually doing it and the means by which this is done is an altogether different matter.

  15. Re:New pseudonym? on 802.11g... It's Official · · Score: 1

    How about WiFi-54? Or WiFi-G?

  16. Re:Nvidia actually stole the show on ATI vs. NVIDIA: ATI Steals the Show · · Score: 1

    Finally! The next killer app. Where do I buy it?

  17. Re:I would like to run... on Intel's Itanium Will Get x86 Emulation · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess that would make it a 64-bit Commodore 64!

  18. The timing is impeccable on Another Breakthrough in Prime Number Theory · · Score: 1

    It can't be a coincidence that his kids' ages are all twin primes. Can it?

  19. It has to be said... on Assorted CES Gizmos · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Microsoft Watch - it watches you!!!

  20. Don't Panic! on Whisper Heard From Pioneer 10 · · Score: 1

    Vogon hyperspace bypass construction notice received.

  21. Re:20 hours??? on Spielberg's Taken · · Score: 1

    Yes, they were thinking. Check out December 14 weekend:

    Saturday
    Sunday

    If you have a VCR to feed make sure you have enough tape.

  22. Re:Taken No, Stargate SG-1 Yes. on Spielberg's Taken · · Score: 1

    I'm going through Lexx withdrawal right now...

  23. Re:The 1980's are back again on Time Warner Properties May Only Be Available Through AOL · · Score: 1

    ...

    The problem with the model is that as everyone moves to a pay-for-content model, you are dealing with a limited consumer resource: money. ...

    I was under the impression that all commercial ventures have to "deal" with this limited consumer resource in one way or another.

    The only exception of course is if the consumer in question is Mister Bill Gates.

  24. Coincedence perhaps? on The Last Comdex? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The news articles note that the Chairman and CEO of Key3 is named Fredric D. Rosen. You don't suppose there is any relation to our "favorite" leader of an obsolete industry organization: Hillary?

    Naah... that would explain too much.

  25. Re:I used to have cable. I still might.. on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    Lexx is drek?

    Well, of course it is!!! But it's *MY* kind of drek.
