  6. Re:multiple sequels usually don't work too well on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1

    The scenes were well made and and fun to watch if you knew what was going on.


    Even if you *didn't* know what was going on, I definitely went to watch, as the visuals were different from anything I had ever seen. For a more-sci-fi-and-less-sword-and-sorcery fan, it was awesome.

    As long as it's a notch above MS *spit* Works, I'll be happy. Is it, though?

  10. Re:Printers and Stats on Geeky April Fools' Day Prank Roundup · · Score: 1

    we were switching our printers to black paper and white toner. I put a sign next to the printer saying to only put black paper in the printer.


    The fusers we use in our laserprinters are often wrapped in a sheet that's matte black. I would have *LOVED* to have been the guy walking around, telling them it's the absolute last sheet in the whole place, sorry, How much you want for it? =)

    It's there on their home page. Later, if you read in the papers, that some experiment produced negative results, you let out a sinister laugh, while twirling the keyring with your pinky, and say out loud, Not without this you won't! Fools!

    Eeeaaasy there, tiger. You only think she's well endowed only because the EEE is really small, it makes everything big by comparison.

  19. Re:That's nothing new on Meet the Laptop of 2015 · · Score: 1

    That is assuming we'll still be using our own fingertips for typing. At 2015, we'll have our fingers coated with a membrane that provides the necessary tactile feedback response to these 'hard surfaces'. They're the new accessory that comes with your laptop. At $1500 for each fingertip. No that wasn't a typo.

    You can also buy the other accessory, the faux airplane tray table for that second monitor, when you *really* need to bring that bad boy on a flight. It comes with an anti-recliner seat post for that bastard in front of you, pretending he's getting ready for liftoff.

    I am typing this while wearing my OS/2 Warp launch T-shirt, which has outlasted the software by many years.

    Wait, you *have* washed the T-shirt now, have you? Since then?

    Our office can beat all o youse hands down. There was this coworker in a cubi and she left her briefcase open, unlocked and upright. For days.

    Then days became weeks.

    It turned out she quit her job. Walked out, just like that.
