  1. For what it really is.... on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    Who here really sees what McCain's trying to do?
    A 72 year old dirty man selecting an attractive, power hungry woman desperately seeking escape from Alaska as his #2.
    I guess interns aren't good enough for the ole' McCainmizter.

  2. Re:How Microsoft and Intel won the West on Andy Hertzfeld Shares His Thoughts on 25 Years of the Mac · · Score: 1

    Maybe this order will change soon with "cloud computing" (sounds like trying to find the diameter of a fart) but I doubt it.

    I'm pretty sure you can measure the diameter of a fart if given a few variables, like the volume of gas, air pressure, volume of the container that's receiving the fart (room, bottle, planet, etc), velocity of the fart, wind speed, speed of dispersion, chemical composition, mass, temperature, diameter of the sphincter, diet,....

    I think the more amazing thing would be the interactive 3D model.

  3. Re:True, since for $400, you can phase change on Full Immersion Cooling Comes To Desktop PCs · · Score: 1

    ...turning the area near the CPU into a mini deep fryer - definitely not cool!

    Now there's an idea I can get behind. Who'd like some onion rings while I'm running prime95 or fragging some foes?

  4. Re:Dialing from the command line. on Canadian Firms Get Behind OpenMoko/FreeRunner · · Score: 1

    Sweet!!! now I can setup a script and speed dial!!!

    $sudo sh speeddial-1.sh

    Hell, I bet you could ssh into the phone and then call people too.

  5. Re:Another? on Space Cube – the World's Smallest Linux PC · · Score: 1

    They're running linux so they should be ideal for monitoring sensors and reporting, transmitting ping/heartbeat signals for any kinds of devices, for controlling hardware, basically for anything that can run autonomously.

    I'd consider getting one to keep under the coffee mug. Not too sure what I'd use it for, but I would want it to be CPU intensive so it'd keep the coffee warm.

  6. Srsly? on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1
    I have a hard time buying something that a comedian is endorsing.

    I just can't get over the feeling that I'm waiting for a punchline.

    Perhaps this time the punchline is "Better than XP/Mac/Linux!!!" or "This works!!!"

  7. Billing per bandwidth on Comcast Has 30 Days To 'Fess Up About P2P Throttling · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd hate to consider the financial consequences of getting recruited into a botnet. Could you imagine finding out that you have a virus when you receive a $200+ cable bill?
