  1. How smart ca they be? on Goldfish Smarter Than Dolphins · · Score: 1

    They get herded into bags and covered in cheddar.

    Mmmm Golfish... mmmm...

  2. Trolling the Poli-Sites on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    There are people so utterly insane they are calling this a Rovian Plot. The other half is calling for the death of all Non-Judeo/Christians.

    People. Seriously. You have to stop looking for boogeymen everywhere. There really are terrorists out there and they really are looking to kill people. Most of them are not from or connected Washington DC.

  3. Forget him... Killcreek on John Romero, the Man Behind the Hype · · Score: 0, Troll

    I still remember when she got her new bewbs. Mmmmm Killcreek.

    **She was Romero's girlfriend back in the day

    Which came first the chicken or the egg? Why the pteradactachickendyl of course.

    CTRL X
    CTRL C
    CTRL V

    CTRL S

    ALT F4 (for Windows)

    Lef & Right click

    Basic computer safety... stop clicking on everything, don't open attachments from people you don't know... no one in Nigera is sending you any money

    The difference between Reboot and Logoff

    Save often

    Backup often

    Then general idea of networking... not arcane TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS stuff... just the idea that other computers can be accessed by your computer and vice versa

    TAB vs SPACE

  8. Seems like a lot for black... on Apple Unveils New Macbook · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean 200USD for black and a 20GB bigger HD?

    And for the love of God why don't they just give them all 1GB of RAM?

    Still it's pretty and I want one.

  9. 2 Things You Don't Know About Dolphins on A Dolphin By Any Other Name · · Score: 5, Funny

  11. Woo Woo x 1,000,000,000,000,000 on Tilting At Windmills · · Score: 2, Funny

    Live with that 24/7/365 and tell me how great it is!

    Fill my lungs with soot but don't make me hear a Whispering Homer!

    Irradiate my nuts into useless glowing rasins but don't make me crosseyed staring at PinWheels!

    Besides aren't there poor people somewhere with wind?

  12. Re:Not to state the obvious on Republicans Defeat Net Neutrality Proposal · · Score: 1

    But you must admit THEY OWN those lines. They invested the capital, they did the R&D, they hired the splicers, etc.

  13. Not to state the obvious on Republicans Defeat Net Neutrality Proposal · · Score: 1

    If you don't like it don't use it, use omething else, build your own - I doubt anyone wants to nationalize the Internet.

  14. Good on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1
  15. I am so sorry on Liability for Data Breaches are Minimal · · Score: 0, Redundant

    1) Collect Data

    4) Profit!

  16. Best Thing For Radio Shack on RadioShack CEO Resigns · · Score: 1

    A buyout by a Best Buy or whatever and a web presence for transistors and electronic kits.

    Let's face it even their name is dated.

    It's over.

  17. Apple ][e baybay on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

    with a ):monochrome:( screen

  18. Re:Student's Fault on Botnet Attack Shuts Down Hospital Network · · Score: 1

  19. Simple... on Internet Radio Failing to Find Support? · · Score: 1

    Internet radio doesn't work because radio doesn't work.

    If radio worked Howard Stern wouldn't need to be on Sirius.

    And internet radio fails because they don't/won't have Howard Stern.

  20. Hi, my name is Jaques DeMolay on Red Cross Condemns Misuse of Emblem In Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    and I'm really pissed about the Red Cross using our symbol... the red cross. I mean we fought the Crusades for centuries, went underground for like a few decades and these people think they can just take the symbol of the Knights Templar? Take the fucking Hospitalers symbol it would make sense anyway!

  21. Woefully ignorant article on UNIX Security: Don't Believe the Truth? · · Score: 1

    You can "lose your stuff" with a disk crash
    Unix still doesn't have a viable virus, OSX literally has none
    Running processes as System (which is higher than Administrator) is silly
    If more *nix users were out there less machines would be getting "botted" and thusly the internet would suck a lot less!

  22. Look... it's like this on Overwhelming Bureaucracy in the IT Department? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Us IT types have no real control over anything in the human realm because we are socially awkward and ill prepared to mete out our skill. To make good on our high school threats of revenge we muct abuse Users. Thusly we must make them grovel to us for our massive IT arcana!

    Get a voice modulator and call as a girl - that will assure a quick resolution at all times!

  23. Do you still love the game? on Training - A Company or a Worker's Responsibility? · · Score: 1

    If you still love the game then expand your skill set because it is good for the game and it will make you better at it.

    Man, woman or mold - it doesn't matter. Having great chops matters. The AD isn't _that_ complicated. Forget the cert, learn. You can go get your MCSE anytime you want if you have the chops.

    Do it because you want to, otherwise return the favor but getting yourself a position you are more comfortable doing.

    Love the game.

  24. This is CRAP on How Interesting is Your IP Address? · · Score: 3, Funny

    My IP got a 1! Damn them! Damn those bastards! Do you know how long it's going to take to change my IPs and reconfigure the VPN?

    Well yeah from 8-72 hours... but still.

  25. Re:Stupid cunt on UCLA Students Urged to Expose 'Radical' Professors · · Score: 1
