  1. Re:Doubly Strange on College Threatens Students Over Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    "... sending emails threatening lawsuits to staff and students who have the letters 'SRJC' in their private email addresses ..."

  2. Re:Does it bother anyone else..... on Hospital Equipment Infected With Conficker · · Score: 1

    Exactly; look at the Hubble telescope and it's 486's. It's not the processors that are causing it to fail over time, they're still chugging along.

  3. So when it gets replaced on Australian Gov't Offers $560k Cryptographic Protocol For Free · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can it be referred to as the Former Lightweight Authentication of ID, or FLACID?

  4. Re:The big question that must be answered on The End of Tax-Free Internet Shopping? · · Score: 1

    Well, another big question that must be answered is how might this affect the mail order brides online? Granted, most are out of the country and wouldn't be affected, but there's got to be some Made in the USA ones that might.

  5. What a nice thought on Jack Thompson Spams Utah Senate, May Face Legal Action · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Wish I could sue Waddoups for being such a douche.

    Thank god he didn't have a lite bright of a mooninite in addition to running a command prompt interface ... He could have destroyed us all.

    Quebec doesn't seem to be the desolate Fallout style wasteland where everyone is fending for themselves and millions die that the article infers might happen.

    No, you're thinking of Detroit.

  8. Re:suddenoutbreakofcommonsense? on Utah Governor Vetoes Jack Thompson's Game Sales Bill · · Score: 1

    Well, there is this. It is getting a bit of coverage. And notice that he's not doing it because of the children, just that he doesn't want to get the state sued. We're already due for a couple law suits over abortion and gay rights, why tack on a third?

  9. Oh man on Japanese Astronaut Tests Stink-Free Underwear · · Score: 1

    How is this going to affect the used panty in a vending machine market?

  10. It's all fuzzy now on Brain Decline Begins At Age 27 · · Score: 1

    Finally, an excuse to forget an anniversary or birthday; or more realistically, a deadline.

  11. Re:Contract. on How Do Militaries Treat Their Nerds? · · Score: 1

    Depending on what old COBOL program it was, I can relate. Very little work needed to be done, other than minor maintenance or change requests. Gunter, by far not my favorite assignment. Still, the programmers were treated far better than my previous AFSC of 3P052 so no complaints there.

  12. Re:Is there anything... on Utah Trying To Restrict Keyword Advertising ... Again · · Score: 1

    Porn. We like our porn in Utah.

    What's wrong about fantasizing about your grandmother? I like it when her teeth go in the jar. :-/

  14. Re:Holy moly... on Utah Mulls a Database of Bar Customers · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's not entirely accurate. The law was changed last year so that the primary alcohol in a drink (say vodka in a long island, or a single shot of anything) can contain up to 1.5 ounces of a certain alcohol. The most any drink can contain is 2.5 ounces. Previously, it was a max of 1 ounce of primary, and a total of 2.75 ounces. You can get long islands (or any of it's billion other varieties such as long beach, etc), but the flavor will probably be off due to anywhere from 1 ounce to 1.5 ounces of primary, and anywhere from 1 ounce to 1.5 ounces of other liquors (rum, tequilla, triple sec, etc). You can mix alcohol types. You can't do sidecars, however, because that would be more than 1.5 ounces of the same primary alcohol. It's confusing, and it really sucks explaining to patrons on a busy night.

  18. Re:Mike Murray is LDS (mormon) on Google Challenging Proposition 8 · · Score: 1

    The LDS church often times tries to influence politics; Utah is a prime example of that. Nearly every law or bill has a corresponding brief from the church. That's why tax exempt status should be removed.

  19. I've heard on OLPC Downsizes Half of Its Staff, Cuts Sugar · · Score: 1

    That they can also save money by switching to Geico.
