  1. So they could figure out how to use the #5 one? on F.E.A.R. 2 To Be Advertised On Cats In London · · Score: 1

    They should also put up a bunch of ladders that people have to walk under and then sneak into people's houses and break their mirrors.

  2. Re:Why bother? on Tabula Rasa Goes Free, Brings New Content · · Score: 1

    It's an MMORPG, of course you're never going to "finish" it! Whenever my friend tells me about what he's up to in WoW I always ask him if he'll have finished the game when he does that. It never gets old.

  3. Re:Any othetr industry?? ok, maybe a few. on Logitech Makes 1 Billionth Mouse · · Score: 1

    Zippo lighters have only sold about 500 million.
    As of 2005 Nokia has sold more than a billion phones.

  4. Re:How about... on Logitech Makes 1 Billionth Mouse · · Score: 1

    There are about 15 billion zippers made per year and ykk makes well over 10% of them, so yeah, they've made more than a billion this year. It's a good analogy, too. Neither mice nor zippers do much on their own, but make other things work much better.

  5. Re:Don't mention age at all on Interviewing Experienced IT People? · · Score: 1

    no, no! You wait until someone else gets hired before you sue.

  6. What do I know that he doesn't know? on Interviewing Experienced IT People? · · Score: 1

    I know that if I don't get this job I'm suing you for age discrimination not only for asking this age based question, but if you know the next guy is 23 and seem to care a lot about it, you are likely guilty and I'll finally be able to retire like I've wanted to for the past 15 years.

  7. Well it's about time! on Microsoft To Offer Free Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    It's been ages since the signatures were updated in MSAV. I was sort of hoping they'd just increment the version number on MSAV and see how many people actually remembered the old gem from DOS 6.2.

  8. Anymore? Anymore? on AIX On the Desktop Is Getting the Boot · · Score: 1

    Your use of the word anymore in a non-negative construction, combined with your desire to run an AIX desktop system make me question the validity of many of your life choices and decisionmaking abilities.

  9. SeaMan was excellent and non-violent. on Non-Violent, Cooperative Games? · · Score: 1

    SeaMan on the Sega Dreamcast was non-violent and encouraged interaction, they even did a good job making the lone character in the game quite passable as a personality and worked out voice recognition fairly well, also.

  10. Re:The power of p2p? on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Released · · Score: 1

    You're not a small person, are you?

  11. Re:Comcast Tax? on Streaming Election Night Broadcast TV? · · Score: 1

    While in high school there was a struggling Burger King that always had regular whoppers for 99c. One of my friends would always order a whopper with cheese and pay with a dollar. When it was pointed out to him that he was paying neither for his cheese nor the tax, he then started passing a dollar forward when passing money to the driver and loudly stating CHEESETAX. Maybe the Big Mac Tax is like that.

  12. Re:Buy once! Play anywhere! ... on Sony CTO Starts New "Buy Once, Play Anywhere" Group · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wow, when did Sony start selling Vaios with Linux on them? (PROTIP: it also won't work on the replacement firmware you made for your other Sony Devices)

  13. It'll never fly! on Study Suggests Music Industry Embrace Piracy · · Score: 1

    Giving it all away sort of destroys the profitability of deceased artists and those that don't want to tour. Who's going to listen to something from a pink newspaper anyway?

  14. Finally! A win for Nathan Barley fans! on The Beginnings of a TLD Free-For-All? · · Score: 1

    About time, I'll finally be able to join the rush to register trashbat.cock !
