  1. Plugging the analog hole on DRM Group Set To Phase Out "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    I expect the next 188-page PDF will feature a device that will plug directly into your forehead to inject a digital signal to your brain.

    NEWS FLASH: Until we start augmenting ourselves with electronics, people perceive the environment around them in ANALOG ONLY! To me that sound like a pretty big hole to plug.

  2. Re:Wait! on Ray Ozzie Calls Google Wave "Anti-Web" · · Score: 1

    Choosing a Microsoft product is the simpler choice when you work for Microsoft.

  3. Re:Good, but on Reviews: Star Trek · · Score: 1

    I don't care if we are sipping tea, nobody talks about my mother like that! Oh hell, that went through my chest!!

  4. Re:Lala - Hilarious Clowns on Lala Invents Network DRM · · Score: 1

    What reality do these executives live in and what are the subscription rates like?
    Somehow I'm not understanding how [successful_product] + [convoluted_restrictive_buzzword_technology] = [attractive new product].

  5. Re:hopes dashed on College Threatens Students Over Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    While at the same time, srjc_lawyers are quite pleased by the recent announcement.

  6. Steven Ray Justin Curtis on College Threatens Students Over Email Addresses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I, Steven Ray Justin Curtis, take great offense to this. My initials are SRJC you insensitive clods!!

  7. Re:Anyone else hoarding gold? on Linux Flourishes In 200-Year-Old Gold Markets · · Score: 1

    What commodity would you recommend?

    Nuka-Cola Caps

    Hookers and blow?

  8. Re:That's no Nitrogen. on AMD Overclocks New Phenom II X4 To 7 GHz · · Score: 5, Funny

    I personally like using liquid oxygen to cool my pc. It makes running dailies more thrilling knowing that I'm just a few centigrade away from leveling the block.

  9. Re:End of an era? on Swedish Museum Puts Pirate Bay Server On Display · · Score: 1

    <tinfoilHat>Re. the retardation of culture. Where would you put that on the 'continuum':

    (large, full-body tinfoil hat): The answer is obviously A... they're out to destroy and control society. You will have to pay the monopoly to enjoy and participate in life.
    (small tinfoil hat) Hmm... I like B. Don't want the dirty communists/fascist/democrats/hippies/war mongers to get away with corrupting our youth.
    (that's aluminum foil you're using) You've got to be kidding, C is the only viable option for protecting creative works from outright theft. You have to support and protect the artists if you want our culture to advance.

  10. I hope... on Swedish ISP Deletes Customer ID Info · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hope this won't be like what happens in the US where the company deletes data, but when pressured by the courts, they happen to recover a backup.

  11. I RTFA.... on A Monster LED Array For Irresponsible Fun · · Score: 5, Funny

    While I think the pictures are interesting, the layout makes me wish I didn't read the fucking article.

  12. Re:SSL Accelerator?? on Build an Open Source SSL Accelerator · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Hmmm... not too sure if ROT-52 is enough. If you can make a ROT-208 accelerator for $100,000, you might just have a sale.

  13. SSL Accelerator?? on Build an Open Source SSL Accelerator · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why bother with that? I just encrypt everything with ROT-13... twice. Much faster.

  14. Roomba on New CASMOBOT Lawnmower Controlled By a Wiimote · · Score: 1

    I don't get why they even bothered with the WiiMote. Why not just transplant a Roomba onto the mower, and GPS inputs as virtual boundaries for where there are no fences and let it go?
    or you could just get off your fat ass and mow the damn lawn.

  15. Re:And when will this version stop working? on Microsoft Begs Win 7 Testers To Clean Install · · Score: 1

    haha... got excited and added an extra vowel
    Please disregard, the word is LOSE.

  16. Re:april fools? on Conficker Downloads Payload · · Score: 1

    Don't I feel backwards for writing it year/month/day---but it makes sorting backups and such so much easier.

  17. Re:And when will this version stop working? on Microsoft Begs Win 7 Testers To Clean Install · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Are you suggesting that MS should develop self-destructing betas to promote upgrading? What a radical idea!
    UPGRADE OR LOOSE YOUR DATA!!!!

  18. RE: goatse on EFF Says Obama Warrantless Wiretap Defense Is Worse than Bush · · Score: 1

    First time I've seen a goatse comment and thought, "boy that's insightful."

    I must be hanging out here too much.

  19. Re:spectrum on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 1

    Get an orange filter/lampshade to go over your CFL..... makes your skin look fleshy again.

    Or start dating girls that are into zombies.

  20. Math? on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's been a while since I was in electrical theory classes, but doesn't a 13 watt CFL lamp consuming 28VA of power still consume less power than a 60W incandescent bulb?

    28W less than 60W ??? I would hope so or I need to start studying new math.

  21. Re:Bah on Beware the Perils of Caffeine Withdrawal · · Score: 1

    Thank you, my friend--you've just provided to me my preferred method of suicide: by caffeine overdose!!

  22. Legacy code... on Windows 95 Almost Autodetected Floppy Disks · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, you're telling me that this might be ready by the time Windows 7 is released?

  23. Re:But... on Robot Makes Scientific Discovery (Mostly) On Its Own · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yes, but there are no ethical rules against watching your two lab robots fuck each other.

    I'm sure with the right thesis, you can get away with watching student volunteers fucking each other.

  24. Re:My brain must be going stupid on Growing Plants In Lunar Gravity · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I read it like that too. Course I kind of expect Google to sponsor growing a small moon.

    Obligatory: "That's no small moon."

  25. Future Technology Deployment... on Technology Scans Giant Fish Schools · · Score: 2, Funny

    This new technology will be installed on Chinese and Japanese fishing vessels to further depopulate the oceans and provide temporary low seafood prices. When asked about what they would do after emptying the ocean of fish, the Chinese spokesperson replied, "We're working on that."
