  1. Re:1.4 million bought on Dvorak Says gPhone is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Those numbers say to me: "Apple may have about 1% of the smart phone market, but they've cornered the market on mindshare."

  2. Re:Why can't ms fan boys ever be specific? on Vista Sales Expectations Too High, Office Doing Well · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? You link to MS's own marketdroidspeak regurgitated on Wikipedia to make your case about how great Vista is? Please.

  3. Re:Is this possible? on Bush Reveals New Space Policy · · Score: 1

    Sorry. Mars already belongs to Yemen:

  4. Re:Detection on Windows Rootkit Wars Escalate · · Score: 1

    Now that's the first funny "Soviet Russia" joke I've seen around here in a long time.

  5. Re:Behind myspace? eew on The Man Behind MySpace · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But he's my only friend!

  6. Re:Technologically superior? on Sony's Obsession with Proprietary Formats · · Score: 1

    Spot on. Mod this person up, somebody!

  7. Three most important rules for writing on Teaching Engineers to Write? · · Score: 1

    I believe it was T.H. White who said that the three most important rules for writing are simplify, simplify, simplify. And bless you, by the way, for doing god's work.

  8. Re:Incredible! on GoDaddy.com Dumps Linux for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Evil in the extreme? That's hilariously over the top, dude. As usual, the truth is not black or white, but many subtle shades of gray. Humans, even culture heroes, even those doing some good in the world, are painfully full of contradictions.

  9. Re:Double-Old News on Da Vinci Code Author Sued · · Score: 1

    Different lawsuit, dude. Guess you didn't RTFA.

  10. Re:Well, Bill killed it right off to bat... on Microsoft Unveils 'Urge' Music Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    Insightful?! For crap's sake, would someone please mod this 'hilarious'.

  11. Re:Not parent poster on Ballmer: 'We'll catch Google' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or clover-tab, as my charming co-worker, unable to remember 'command', calls it.

  12. Re:Microsoft is now irrelevent on Ballmer: 'We'll catch Google' · · Score: 1

    Better double check apostrophe usage while you're at it.

  13. Re:iPod on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    No. Actually, if you've downloaded an iTunes song in "Apple format" (sic) it only means you're using iTunes. The iPod doesn't neccessarily enter into the equation.

  14. Re:Cheap shot on Dvorak on the LinuxWorld Fracas · · Score: 1

    Journalist? Keyboard inventor? I always loved his "New World Symphony" It's is a time-tested classic!

  15. Re:But which karma whore is the parent's originato on Rave Reviews for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger · · Score: 1

    Good lord. That's the funniest one of all. Too bad I'm out of mod points.

  16. Re:TINSTAAFL, indeed on Inside the Free iPod Offer · · Score: 1

    Oh, yes. It's "deprecate" and not "depracate."

  17. Re:Why. on Sony takes on iPod Shuffle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not necessarily. I don't have an mp3 player, and I'm tempted to get one. See, I have a portable cd player. I usually burn a disks worth of songs out of itunes and let it play in shuffle mode. I've never felt the need to carry my entire collection with me. The ipod shuffle would fit the bill perfectly, and at a fraction of the size.

  18. Re:Great! on Think Secret Predicts Sub-$500 Headless Mac · · Score: 1

    But you're forgetting the eMac.

  19. Re:That's what the MD5 hash is for. on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 1

    Right click? I'm on a Mac, you insensitive clod!

  20. Re:Wait wait wait... on Rio Rancho, New Mexico: 103 Square Miles of WiFi · · Score: 1

    I believe this is a "Simpson's" reference.

    On the other hand, Rio Rancho is, like, 20 miles from me. Guess I'll have to schlep the old iBook out there and give it a spin.

  21. Ghetto? on A Complete Map To Springfield · · Score: 1

    I mean the Jewish kind. It's where Krusty grew up, remember? Anyone found it?

  22. Re:no. on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    WTF? I don't think so. My friends and I saw it several times and every time we waited in a line around the block to see the freakin' thing.

  23. Re:thats not news on Digital 'Ghosts' To Guide Students On Campus · · Score: 1

    Duh. That's because you have to provide the voices.

  24. Re:Worst screenshots ever on A First Look At The GIMP 2.0 · · Score: 1

    And how can anyone expect to do serious design work with that hideous desktop color?

  25. Re:Expansion on Comcast Wants To Buy Disney For $66 Billion · · Score: 1

    That's what they offer here in New Mexico: $54 for basic cable and internet. Just got it myself and am quite happy, other than the fact that I'm doing business with The Man after seven years with a local mom and pop ISP. DSL is not an option where I live.
