  1. Re:Microsoft (: on MacControl Trojan Being Used In Targeted Attacks Against OS X Users · · Score: 1

    Whistler: I want peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
    Bernard Abbott: We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
    Martin Bishop: You're just gonna have to try.
    Bernard Abbott: All right, I'll see what I can do.
    Whistler: Thank you very much. That's all I ask.

  2. hm on Defendant Ordered To Decrypt Laptop Claims She Had Forgotten Password · · Score: 3, Funny

    Did they try hunter2?

  3. Re:Slippery slope? on Global Mall Operator Starts Reading License Plates · · Score: 1

    Actually, this isn't a public place. You're parking on their property. Don't like it, don't go there. It's that simple.

    wish i had mod points

  4. Bonus on PlayStation Network Hack Will Cost Sony $170M · · Score: 1

    Does this also include the bonuses they will pay to the execs this year?

  5. Re:Occam's razor on Cocaine Found At Kennedy Space Center · · Score: 2

    Man, that's some good Nyborg! Oh, too obscure?

  6. The date on Justice Dept. Asked For Broad Swath of IndyMedia's Visitor Records · · Score: 3, Interesting

    One question that I haven't seen asked yet is why June 25, 2008? A scan of indymedia's articles didn't turn up anything earth shattering on that day or the day before. Thoughts?

  7. Re:sigh... on Court Appoints Pro Bono Counsel For RIAA Defendant · · Score: 1

    I agree it's frustrating, and that's a very good thing. The more and more people like you that decide you are done with the RIAA's shit, the less revenue they will have to pay their lawyers. And with judges (hopefully) beginning to see what the RIAA is up to and giving the defendant a better means to defend himself (the pro bono help), it's only going to speed up the downward spiral. I haven't bought (or downloaded) any music in years and I'm enjoying watching them flail a bit :)

  8. Re:hmm.... it's summer? on Is IE Usage Share Collapsing? · · Score: 1

    But I would think most geeks take a laptop on vacation (hell, I took mine on my honeymoon). So Firefox's share wouldn't fall so much as shift to popular European vacation spots.

  9. Great on First Acoustic Black Hole Created · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sweet, now I just have to trick my wife into standing in it.. ah peace

  10. Broadband is not what they need on Google Invests In Broadband For Poorer Countries · · Score: 2, Insightful

    *sigh* How much food and HIV care/prevention can you get for $750m? Priorities people! But then again there's no money to be made in that I suppose :(

  11. Re:so what on Referee Recommends Disbarment For Jack Thompson · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... For a major television network to present him as a credible expert after this, they'd have to think their viewers complete idiots.

    Yeah, I think that's about right these days.

  12. Just Be careful on Bionic Hand Makes it to Market · · Score: 1
  13. 15K? on Best Buy's ConnectedLife One-Ups Geek Squad · · Score: 1

    For 15,000 I better get a fuckin blowjob with it.

  14. Isn't it ironic? on Group Fights Politicizing Science and Engineering · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So they are fighting the politicizing of science and engineering by creating a political group? And yes, a 527 is a political organization whether they admit it or not. Oh sweet irony :) Segfault

  15. Re:space station work on Shuttle Atlantis Finally In Orbit · · Score: 4, Funny


    ...internet connection...

    Silly, they don't make tubes long enough to reach into space.

  16. Years ago... on Ladies and Gentlemen, the Electronic Toilet · · Score: 1


    They had this years ago!

  17. Re:What is the right browsing? on Unlock Internet or Risk Losing Staff? · · Score: 1

    And don't be surprised if the phone at your desk isn't being used by your boss to listen into conversations in your cubicle.

    Which is why I always use my handy Cone of Silence!

  18. Re:Hah, brave on High Court Trims Whistleblower Rights · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, 100% of those who voted for Bush actually want Bush in office

    Not true. My mother, for one, voted for Bush simply because she didn't like Kerry.

  19. That sound on Dell Installs Google Software at Factory · · Score: 5, Funny

    That sound you just heard was the crashing of chairs coming from the direction of Redmond, WA :)

  20. Slashdot on Typo Found in Kryptos CIA Sculpture · · Score: 4, Funny

    Slashdot reporting on a typo? Oh the delicious irony! :)

  21. Re:Only One Question on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Unrelated to Typing? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  22. Doxygen on What Workplace Coding Practices Do You Use? · · Score: 2, Informative

    One word.. doxygen. I had been working on a program by myself for a few years and was really the only one who knew the guts of it. We got a new person on it so I could move on to other things, and rather than spending a week or two showing her what she needed to know, I spent a few days adding doxygen comments to the project, and she was able to read the generated documentation for herself and picked it up in no time. It plugs in to Visual Studio very nicely if you use that, and if not, you can easily write a batch file to update your documentation. I just can't say enough good things about this tool. If you can get your developers in the habit of documenting in the doxygen format, your documentation will basically write itself.

  23. Included by default... on Microsoft Linux Lab Manager Responds · · Score: 2, Funny

    Microsoft has long offered Services for Unix free for download to provide a unix-like environment on Windows. I've seen rumors and speculation that SFU will be included by default in Windows Vista...

    I think what he meant was that Windows Vista is going to include a lot of STFU by default :)

  24. Finally on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    I think I know what my first keymapping would be!

  25. Just so long... on Tron Lightcycles, in Real Life · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just so long as I don't have to wear one of these suits

    *shudder*
