  1. Ob Batman quote on Carter Copter Breaks Mu-1 Barrier · · Score: 1

    Does it come in black?

  2. Re:Old games on Game To Play During Lunch? · · Score: 1

    You sweat, and you stink.

    OTOH, that *WILL* keep them from inviting you to those committee meetings that are normally held in the afternoon. I say Go for it! Start out by grabbing a used shirt from your laundry hamper...

  3. Re:Animation studio edifice complex on Lucas's New HQ · · Score: 1

    You left out ION Storm, with its megamodern cubicle layout with retractable roof so the geeks actually GET some sun.

    Oh, wait...

  4. Re:Solution on Britney is #1 Virus Celebrity · · Score: 1


    she must be held accountable

    Britney Spears?! If there's going to be any holding around here, I volunteer...

  5. Re:Why stop there? on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Only if you install e17 (enlightenment v17) on it.

  6. But why oh WHY on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    ...did they pick such a lousy font for the keyboard?

    *ducks*

  7. Re:I remember it somewhat different.... on How Battlestar Galactica Killed TV · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're telling me...I remember the first time I saw Captain Picard's bald head, I thought, goddammit they haven't found a cure! I'm doomed!

  8. Re:This is totally true on How Battlestar Galactica Killed TV · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Torrent Incident?!?

    I thought I've *seen* all the episodes! Which one is this?

  9. Is there a PacPC clone for Linux? on Pac-Man Turns 25 · · Score: 1


    I love playing PacPC (freeware for Windows9x) but I haven't found a Linux equivalent that comes really really close to PACMAN. Is there such a thing?

  10. Re:Christian propaganda...? on Chronicles of Narnia Trailer · · Score: 1

    Why is that Christianity is the only religion it is still ok to hate?

    I dunno...because we can't feed them to the lions anymore?

    Just a joke...

  11. Re:Ah yes... The Post-it. on Post-It Notes - 25 Years of Hypertext in Paper · · Score: 1


    But most of all, I hate white Post-It notes. They just blend into the white background of that important document that was forwarded to you five days ago and the document was supposed to be completed and edited by you, duplicated, bound, and circulated to upper management by YOU, five minutes from now, on this date, as indicated on said Post-It.

  12. Re:BANNED! on Post-It Notes - 25 Years of Hypertext in Paper · · Score: 3, Funny

    For the more important. mission-critical issues (e.g. workflow, schematic, tactical plan) may I suggest a table napkin.

  13. alternate link for iconset on Alienware's Star Wars PCs · · Score: 3, Informative
  14. Grammar Nazi Run Amuck on Does launchd Beat cron? · · Score: 1

    Just be glad I didn't throw a comma in there somewhere. You're like Magneto in a sea of mutants.

  15. Re:just a little touchy, aren't we? on The Bender PC Case · · Score: 1

    You know the OP was serious if...

    ...if the Bender case mod wound up with a girlfriend, and introduces her to Bizardo.

  16. SPOILER for ROTS movie in /. article? on The End of Mathematical Proofs by Humans? · · Score: 1

    causing mathematicians to 're-examine the foundations of their discipline

    ...and Obi-wan was never heard from again. Some stories claim that he is living in a cave on a desert planet in a distant galaxy. Rejecting the use of technology, the stories claim that he is now using two sticks to build a fire which will keep him warm at night...

  17. Re:No worries. on Feds Hack Wireless Network in 3 Minutes · · Score: 1

    THose two men, they weren't wearing the jackets that have "FBI" on the back in big bright bold letters now, did they?

  18. Re:Baby Bootstrap on The Baby Bootstrap? · · Score: 1

    Correction:

    I can assure you, Dave...I am very classified.

  19. Re:Sorry, you are just to slow moving for me on Blackbox (Finally) Updated · · Score: 1

    look...use the forks

    Couldn't resist.

    But back to your comment, I have to agree about its popularity. This is ONE WM that was even forked over to Windows (BB for Windows & BBlean), proving that the concept or concepts work: lean and mean. ANd I could theme it to my own taste. Way to go, BB devs (or is it just dev :-)

  20. Is it April 1 yet? on Blackbox (Finally) Updated · · Score: 1

    Not fair doing this pre-emptive strike.

    BB was always my preference until I needed to have a keyboard shortcut for popping the main menu on the desktop. Alas, with no development back then, I moved on. THe clones started to populate the desktop with *gasp* icons! So I shied away from them, not even bothering to figure out how to disable them. I havent RTFA but if I still can't pop that main menu, I'll go back to my cave, away from sunlight.

  21. Let me be the first to say... on Preview of X Windows Eye Candy · · Score: 1

    ...the WobblyWindows are more "aqua" than Aqua now!

    (Sorry, Mac fans.)

    This is a shot fired across enlightenment's bow. Let the GUI competitions begin!

  22. Ob Simpsons on Google Building Tech Center Near Portland · · Score: 1

    Oooh they got the internet on computers now.

  23. Re:Apparently they never heard of the Cappuccino P on Mac mini to PC Hack · · Score: 1

    If I read the part about "Cheap OS X" being good for everybody out loud, my neighbour in the next cubicle would wonder where I'm surfing lately...

  24. Re:Endgame on Google Plans Free VoIP In the UK · · Score: 1

    an M$ style invasion of our lives

    You make that sound like it's a bad thing.

    (and off he goes, skipping jauntily away on the green meadows of his WinXP desktop...)

  25. Re:but... on Build Your Own Rotary-Dial Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    Pulse dialing will slowly stop working on analog phone lines over the next few years or so...

    and Morpheus and Neo will be stuck here in the Matrix with no chance of returning...
