  1. Re:Ouch on 2009 Ig Nobels Awarded, For Gas-Mask Bras and More · · Score: 2, Informative

    According to Bas Rutten, who was a bouncer before he got into MMA, the same thing happens to an empty bottle.

  2. Re:Next week: on Jack Thompson Sues Facebook For $40M · · Score: 1

    It's a joke on a common pronunciation of 'american'.
    Yeah, I'm a big hit at parties.

  3. Re:Wow! on Jack Kirby Heirs Reclaim Marvel/Disney Rights · · Score: 1

    And by French I mean Belgian *waves hand*

  4. Re:Wow! on Jack Kirby Heirs Reclaim Marvel/Disney Rights · · Score: 1
    Erm, popular, widely-regarded-as-art comics in Germany:
    • Asterix
    • Spirou and Fantasio
    • Prinz Eisenherz (no idea about the english name)

    Yeah, american style superhero comics are widely regarded as junk. French comic tradition? Art. (Not my opinion, and yes, born and and raised in Dschermanny)

  5. Re:Not so fast on Windows 7 Touch, Dead On Arrival · · Score: 1

    reminds me of the touch stream keyboard. Too bad they got bought by Apple.

  6. Re:Precedent from Jammie Thomas? on Copyright Troubles For Sony · · Score: 1

    I agree in principle, and applaud you for sticking to your values.
    But when you start to talk about the morality of it instead of the legality, then it is not really newsworthy anymore. We've known for a quite a while that Sony is evil.

  7. Re:Please grow up, you're driving us away on Windows 7 Reintroduces Remote BSoD · · Score: 1

    Except that pretty-much flawless OS was leading the list of most-vulnerable OSes in that IBM paper someone posted a couple of days ago.
    Now, Commodore BASIC, that was an OS.... *dreams*

  8. Re:Precedent from Jammie Thomas? on Copyright Troubles For Sony · · Score: 1

    Except for Texas. No one wants Texas.

  9. Re:Sweden. United States. Not the same thi... on Copyright Troubles For Sony · · Score: 1

    Hm, yeah, you got a point there.

  10. Precedent from Jammie Thomas? on Copyright Troubles For Sony · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Mexico. United States. Not the same thing.

  11. Re:And we should attack the FSF... on FSF Attacks Windows 7's "Sins" In New Campaign · · Score: 2, Informative

    He never had more than 33% percent of votes in any non-rigged election. If that qualifies as popular support or not, your decision. The world ain't black and white.

  12. Re:The question I have is- on China Ditches Compulsory Green Dam Plans · · Score: 1

    Thank you.

  13. Re:Should apple not censor music??? on Apple Balks, Finally Relents, At Possible User Queries of Dictionary App · · Score: 1

    Boss, is that you?

  14. Re:Bingo on A Hypothesis On Segway Hate · · Score: 1

    Please do write a journal about your experiences with the stilts. That sounds very interesting.

  15. Re:Please stop on Researchers Create Database-Hadoop Hybrid · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a lot better... that's why everyone uses the acronym.

  16. Re:ok so the company lost money... on Most Expensive JavaScript Ever? · · Score: 1

    +1 cute

  18. Re:Software engineering is not a new concept. on Does the 'Hacker Ethic' Harm Today's Developers? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that suits me fine. Correcting a typo with a typo. Should be HCL.

  19. Re:Software engineering is not a new concept. on Does the 'Hacker Ethic' Harm Today's Developers? · · Score: 1

    Don't. It's HLC he works for, not HTC.

  20. Re:Its not rocket surgery... on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1

    No, I didn't miss it.
    I had several 'mainstream medicine' doctors check me out and they all agreed. Seems like a biased article to me.

  21. Re:Its not rocket surgery... on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As well as candida infection. Many, many people have one and don't even notice it.

  22. Re:CVS on How Do You Sync & Manage Your Home Directories? · · Score: 1

    What is all the fascination with git?
    When I looked into it two months ago, bazaar was a hell of a lot easier to set up, and does seem to have the same benefits over svn.

  23. Re:The best ESATA isn't really ESATA at all. on Best eSATA JBOD? · · Score: 1

    Also nice: 1001 x 999 = (1000 + 1) x (1000 - 1) = 1000^2 - 1^2 = 1000000 - 1
    it's even nicer for stuff like 51 x 49

  24. Re:Only for casual gamers on New Super Mario Bros. Wii To Include Official "Cheat" · · Score: 1

    Winning by cheating just isn't the same as winning 'for real'.

    Especially in single player games I don't play to win; I play to have a good time. That is usually synonymous, but doesn't have to.

    There's never mod points around when you need'em.
