  1. New Story Headline!!! on Martian Sea Discovered · · Score: 1

    So in essence, are you telling me that we may or may not have a sea of "frozen" ice, which is definitely not between 800 and 900 km, and is definitely not 45km deep?

    I suggest a new story headline: "There might be some stuff on Mars"

  2. Hot Damn on ChoicePoint Identity Theft Fallout Widens · · Score: 0, Troll

    Damn, I wish I had a pitchfork.
    Or a torch.

    I'm serious. Somebody ought to pay for this kind of crap.

  3. damn on 'Make' Premier Issue · · Score: 1

    i just want to run up to those guys with some clippers and give them nice, sharp haircuts.

  4. Re:What a waste of Money on Napster To Campaign Aggressively Against iPod · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that you can burn the same playlist up to 10 times, and authorize 5 PCs

  5. Fools! on Does the Octopus Hold the Key To Robot Design? · · Score: 1

    How did the octopus get a hold of the key?

    They have eight tentacles and a razor sharp beak!

    I suggest they get one of the interns to try to get the key back from the Octopus!

  6. Mod Parent Down! on Does the Octopus Hold the Key To Robot Design? · · Score: 2

    I saw the same documentary, but, I believe that the animals in question are squids, and not octopuses.

    That kind of inaccuracy should be unacceptable in these scientific circles.

  7. Re:Moore's "Law" on Gartner Says it's a 2-Browser World · · Score: 1

    Absolutely.
    I just think it's important to make the distinction so that the younger generations know what it's all about.

  8. I wish they'd clone Steve Ballmer. on Cloning License for Dolly's Doc · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'd dress him up in a monkey suit and have him dance around the house.

    I know this is offtopic, but wouldn't it be cool if everyone had a little Ballmer to dance around for them?

  9. Moore's "Law" on Gartner Says it's a 2-Browser World · · Score: 2, Informative

    Moore's observation is that the capacity seems to double every 18 months.
    It's not a law, and it's not about speed.

  10. You're being too elitist on Shmoo Group Finds Exploit For non-IE Browsers · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm planning on taking an airplane flight in 7 years, and am already taking classes on aeronautics, history of flight, airplane engineering, and am enrolled in the technical school for airplane building and maintenancy.^H^H

    Uh-oh, looks like my "delete" key stopped working again. Must need another .5 ohm resistor, with a diode overlay. I'll do that as soon as I'm done casting the waterpump for my car.

  11. Re:YOU GUYS ALWAYS MISS THE OBVIOUS... on Why Does Windows Still Suck? · · Score: 1

    Not at all.
    I hate getting troll-ed for sarcastic or funny comments.

    Like I said, flamebait if anything, but not a troll.

  12. Re:YOU GUYS ALWAYS MISS THE OBVIOUS... on Why Does Windows Still Suck? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    God, man, I feel for you. Your post is not a troll.
    It's flamebait at best.
    A troll is supposed to be hidden inside the message so that people would fall for it without knowing it.

    These young mods know nothing...

  13. 700 songs? on The 83-Year-Old Dead File Swapper · · Score: 1

    Holy shit, I thought they were only going after the big ones.

  14. That's a no brainer on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    OS X!!!

    muahahaha

    *ducks*

  15. Re:Hmm, on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    They know so much because they watch all the commercials to donate shoes for starving kids.

  16. Re:Hmm, on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    I'm from Bosnia. That is a pretty little clique, I agree. Now, it's no 3rd world country, but ponying up 700 bucks is no big deal even in a smallest village.

  17. Hmm, on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 0

    No offense, but I think any remotely organized village can save up 800 bucks in, say, 4 months and pony up for a computer.

    I don't think it was the difference of $700 that has kept them from doing it 'till now.

  18. High energy gamma photons? on Simulating the Universe with a zBox · · Score: 1

    You guys are screwed.
    From now on, I'm carrying a scorpion in my pocket!

    MUAHAHAHAHA

  19. Re:Market penetration with HD on Samsung's Linux-based Diskless Camcorder · · Score: 1

    oh yeah,
    well where are the torrents?!

  20. Market penetration with HD on Samsung's Linux-based Diskless Camcorder · · Score: 1

    Would it be possible to release a Linux-based HD camcroder for home use?
    With iMovie coming out within a few months it would be a perfect opportunity to release an affordable home use HD camcorder and make it linux based.

    But I'm guessing the OS is not the driving factor behind the cost, but rather hardware...

  21. Re:Matter of opinion I guess on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    You don't need a separate player.

    Quicktime exports the movie to mp4 or whatever format and then all the leet warez dudez can watch them too!

    Kinda neat.

    Quicktime player on the other side is really nice for scrubbing and doing frame by frame analysis.

  22. Re:One thing to keep in mind on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    I did, and quicktime doesn't have to be installed on Macs. (Check the original question) (I guess I didn't consider loonix, since I doubt any of his visitors use that.)

    And since quicktime exports to mpeg, pretty much any player can play it, not just quicktime.

  23. Re:One thing to keep in mind on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    Cool, I didn't know this.
    Really, anything is better than WMV, and I do use VLC for all my avi files.

  24. One thing to keep in mind on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    If you choose to use Xvid or DivX your users will have to download codecs for those. I'm guessing not too many grandmas and uncles would know how to do this.

    I reccomend using quicktime to make mpeg movies which have high quality, can easily be paused, forwarded and "rewound" to any part of a downloaded clip, and can play on pretty much any platform.

  25. Re:For bandwidth management... on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's a small site too.

    How would you explain to your cousin to download Azureus, update JVM, download the file, put it in Azureus, and leave it running for a few days?

    Direct download is the better solution than torrent in some situations.
