  1. Cool! on Microsoft's Magical 'Myth-Busting' Tour · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll burn off some Knoppix cd's and Crash the party!

    (will they have booth babes?)

  2. Re:Some quick bad math... on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 1

    Thank you for the breakdown, I had no idea that her songs had titles.

  3. Re:Some quick bad math... on Labels Find New Method of Payola · · Score: 1

    WTF?! You have officially blown my mind. how the length of a song being three minutes relates to 2 out of 60 (or 1 out of 30), does this mean that 2/3 of her song is devoted to "Don't Tell Me?" WTF is "Don't tell me"?!

    mind == blown

  4. Re:Erm, never? on Downtown Baltimore To Get Massive Surveillance Network · · Score: 0

    The "UK" part. Probably the "the" part, too.

  5. Re:Erm, never? on Downtown Baltimore To Get Massive Surveillance Network · · Score: 1

    Who's the twit now?

    At least I feel safer getting a BJ in the street.

  6. Easy! Just TAX Blank CD-Rs! on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    Its so simple! Add a SIN tax! I think this has worked to curb smoking and drinking, right?

  7. totally OT... on Fiber To The Dorm Room · · Score: -1

    Thats a great sig!

  8. My prediction for future games... on Thirty Years in Computing · · Score: 1

    In the future games will be totally portable and totally sidetalkin'!

  9. Re:Broil? on Dinosaurs Died Within Hours of Asteroid Impact, says New Study · · Score: 3, Funny

    Gas Mark 9 for example was extremely hot, around 250 degrees C or more.

    right then. Imagine a cooker that went up to 11.

  10. Re:Area 51 is a hoax by the goverment on Area 51 Hackers Map Buried Surveillance Network · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Totally OT but very good info, thanks! I believe what you say about there being specific depots that are the problem. In His book of Essays, Jonathan Franzen does a good job of exposing all the serious problems that Chicago post office had (mail not delivered for years, carriers drinking in their cars until 7 pm and getting overtime, managers "hiding" from irate customers)

  11. Re:nope. on Hardcore Java · · Score: 1

    Okay, I'm wrong. I_LOVE_POCKY is hardcore.

  12. nope. on Hardcore Java · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Harcore is converting assembly routines into C because the assmebly instructions have been deprecated and you no longer have access to segment registers in user space on the new processor.

    That is to say, I AM HARDCORE.

  13. Re:job on Become a Professional Gamer · · Score: 1

    Don't make your hobby your job.

    True that. Running a porn website certainly isn't as much fun as I thought it was going to be!

  14. THIS is more sad: on Become a Professional Gamer · · Score: 1

    "I never miss a match" of his, said Jung Eun-young, 28, who stood in line for 14 hours for her front-row seat.


    Yep. I mean, I've kept my wife waiting for 3 hours. but 14?!

  15. Re:I Love THX1138 on THX-1138 Finally Coming to DVD · · Score: 1

    Forget Solaris, have you seen "The Sacrifice" by Tarkovsky? Ugh. SOo slow. SOo boring. SOo trite. I absolutely detested it. I think it just might be up your alley.

  16. Re:*Innovate or DIE!* on Nintendo's Iwata - Innovate or Die · · Score: 0

    I must have spun my head around and missed it!

  17. Re:*Innovate or DIE!* on Nintendo's Iwata - Innovate or Die · · Score: 3, Funny

    Because there hasn't been enough innovation since 720 the arcade game.

  18. Re:Mono-Directional Wormhole on Hollywood Courting the Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    I forgot about that game. That was a damn-fun game. Its as if some manager said "we're gonna actually build a fun game into this franchise!"

    I'm sure they were subsequently fired.

  19. HA ha! on Hollywood Courting the Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    I hated those damn CD-rom games...

    wasn't there one with brad pit in it? Set in New Orleans?

  20. Tron and Krull on Hollywood Courting the Gaming Industry · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is not the first time Hollywood marketing freaks thought up this alliance. Its just that things are now getting profitable.

    Look at Tron; the video game out-grossed the movie.

    Look at Krull; the video game was done before the movie!

    Remember that the in the Early 80's the video game industry was viewed as "hot" and making lots of money. Cross overs seemed inevitable.

    Then, we had the video game industry crash (thanks,ET!)

    Now that the video game industry is back on top and making lots of money, its cross over time again.

  21. THIS lazy! on Tubby: When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold Beer · · Score: 4, Funny

    I use This container for beer so I don't have to go back to the fridge.

    I also wear Depends undergarments. I never have to leave my computer!

  22. No BEER! on Tubby: When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold Beer · · Score: 1, Funny

    What?! Come on, editors! RTFA!
    Title should be When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold FANTA!

  23. Handspring Visor in the Florida Keys experience on Device for Taking Travel Notes? · · Score: 1

    I took a vacation to the Keys (Islamorada, actually. Stay at the Moorings village. Great beach!) and I brought a Gibson novel and my handspring.

    I wanted to jot notes about ideas that Gibson was bringing up while reading in a hammock (thats why we read sci fi-to find out interesting theories). And the problem is the hammock.

    Grafitti in the hammoc to FOREVER. It was no fun.

    The keyboard for my visor seemed like a good idea, but I never use it. And in thise case, I was in the wrong position.

    The only ideal solution was a cheap paper note-book/notepad.

    Maybe you plan on sitting at a desk or table; in that case a PDA with a keyboard will work wonders.
    If you install something like TealNotes you can even include hand drwan graphics with your text. GREAT!

    But Hammocks? Not meant for doing any work!

  24. don't flame sphealey on The Windows Security Nightmare · · Score: 1

    Its not a perfect solution; but its a decent one.

    If $80 isn't a big cost to you ( I realize all you Free Software people are just cheap penny pinchers ;), and the user has cable modem already, AND the user is somewhat clueless (or you live 5 states away) this is a quick and easy configuration that will save them heartache and headache. And YOU heartache and headache.

    Besides, it doesn't have to be $80; I've seen them for $40. And it can allow them to have multiple CPUs share the same connection. And you can get the wifi version.

    This is not THE solution for everyone, but its A solution.
