  1. In related news... on Electric Shavers Rot Your Brain · · Score: 2, Funny

    Small amounts of saliva trickling down your throat causes cancer.

  2. Re:Still in `trials'. on Telstra To Put Linux On Desktop · · Score: 1

    OSS dedications come from true followers.

  3. Woo! on NSF Grants for Decentralized Infrastructure Research · · Score: 1

    You may stop prevent conventional DoS attacks, but denials of service will never die. Just give it a reason to adapt.

  4. Fifty bucks says on China Develops Their Own CPU: The "Dragon Chip" · · Score: 1

    My next rig has a commie CPU.

  5. Re:You can configure it. on A First Look At The Xandros Desktop · · Score: 1

    In my experience, most distros have X set up like this by default if you select more than one video mode when configuring it. I've been using it for years and am quite satisfied... but then, I don't know if one can change refresh rates with a similar technique and it's not very verbose if that's your thing.

  6. Hehe, remember Joe Dirt? on Meteorite Hits Girl · · Score: 1

    Where he was carrying around that composite piece of crap that fell out of a passenger jet thinking it was a meteorite?

    'nuff said.

    :)

  7. I like it. on E3 Doom III Preview · · Score: 2, Funny

    Urinals contoured for your rump. If that isn't an invitation for disaster...

  8. Re:This is so cool - they use the GPL! on The Indie Game Jam · · Score: 1

    So why haven't they released it yet? They say in about a dozen places that the code is "GPLed on Sourceforge" (even the project entry on SF) and as a tiny little addendum as "Stuff To Do" they mention the source has not actually been posted.

  9. Re:Adams again? on Slashback: Towel, Linkage, Drafthouse · · Score: -1, Troll

    At this point, I'd be tired of hearing about him even if I did like his writing.

  10. Really though... on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 1

    thinkgeek will put it on a blanket, a mug, a noose, a tie (did I already use that one), and a suit and you won't be cool unless you wear it!

  11. Re:Hmm... on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    Poor bird :(

  12. Hey techers! on No-Tech Schools In Tech Land · · Score: 2, Funny

    Leave those kids alone!

    All in all you're just another brick in the wall...

  13. Subliminal messages! on De Icaza Responds on Mono and GNOME · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could someone please play this email backwards, I'm afraid I'll be brainwashed into a Microsoft slut by the time I'm done reading it.

  14. Pushes. on Perl Foundation Awards Perl Development Grant to Larry Wall · · Score: -1, Troll

    Bitch.

  15. Re:A better headline choice... on Perl Foundation Awards Perl Development Grant to Larry Wall · · Score: 1

    Note that they don't even have the money to donate yet. You'd think one would wait until they did before making an announcement of it. In fact, at this rate it could take a while to achieve their goal. And... my gawd, did you see all the typos on that site? I was physically painful.

  16. This just in: on WinInformant Says Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Satan claims his fires aren't all that hot, come roast some marshmallows with us.

  17. Re:Dollar movies on (Almost) Free Movies On-Line... Sorta · · Score: 1

    We don't have girlfriends, but we do have many, many, pockets.

  18. Hey, what about androids? on Robots vs. Humans And Other Security Issues · · Score: 1

    You know, humanoid automatons. Do ya think they'll be bitter about their spray-painted skin and lacquered hair?

  19. Re:Here are the real music "services"... on A Review of Existing Music Subscription Services · · Score: 1

    I still do that frequently and it remains a lot less strenuous than fighting to upload to a ratio server with my wee modem.

  20. I have found the ultimate geek sustenance! on Geek Food: A Cookbook for the Technologically Inclined · · Score: 1

    MREs! That's Meal, Ready to Eat. It's easier than Ramen noodles and each pack comes with an explosi... I mean chemical heater!

  21. Is it just me on Geek Food: A Cookbook for the Technologically Inclined · · Score: 1

    ... or is this not a bloody PDF file?

    PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0

    Hmm, ok. I've tried every PS/PDF document viewer under the sun on this thing and it's not made much sense to them either. Even the online PDF viewer at Adobe's site couldn't make heads nor tails of it.

    Anyone else having similar problems?

  22. How much do you love Microsoft's .NET? on LinuxWorld: Business, Business and More Business · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just what exactly is the soul going for these days, Mr. Icaza?

    It's clearly a buyer's market.

  23. Re: not true on Space Tourist Standards · · Score: 1

    Alcohol is a standard commodity in Russian space rations :)

    Well, maybe not standard...

    Bad cosmonauts!

  24. Re:Phone cards on Using MEMS to Miniaturize Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking more along the lines of disposable phones. Like the cameras, ya know?

  25. Ahem on Java Native Compilation Examined · · Score: 1

    I, personally, *resort* to Java only when I'm looking for a level platform-independence that can't be accomplished with Tcl. Is it really worth the hassle to not use an alternative langauge that is more efficient if we're targeting a single platform?
