  1. NO!!!! on Shortcomings Revealed in nForce4 SLI Redux · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    My new baby has no flaw! She's ... she's ... She's flawless. Like a virgin diamond in a filed of wheat! Like that freshly installed kernel posting dmesg on a snow white day! Like princess leia before she was mack'n on her brother.

  2. April what now? on Prsident Bush Cancels Space Shuttle Program · · Score: 1

    If you're going to make an April fools joke you might as well spell President right.

  3. LuanchCast on Yahoo Pledges Full Firefox Support · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if this covers partnerships Yahoo! has with other companies.

    Being from Canada, Yahoo! has partenered with Rogers to incorporate features like LaunchCast into high speed internet service bundles. I know this is the only thing I currently use IE for as LaunchCast won't support anything but IE... boo-urns.

  4. Where do You Live? on Media Organizations Join Forces to Fight Canadian Ruling · · Score: 1

    He didn't evene live in Ontario at the time of the publications which tarinshed his reputation... I under stand sueing the paper, even winning a suit for defamation of character (based on the fact that the allegations have no foundation). Winning the suit because "Those who publish via the Internet are aware of the global reach of their publications, and must consider the legal consequences in the jurisdiction of the subjects of their articles"... that's just insane.

    I better go check my website and tear down and defaming thing that I've ever said and anyone... oh my god, the insanity of living in Ontario!

  5. Re:Penny Arcade on Views on Violence in Video Games · · Score: 1

    They make a good mention/rant in today's posting as well...

    the previous 5 comics are the ones StrandedOrg was referring to.

  6. No wonder... on The First Image Published on the Web · · Score: 1


    With such *hot* girl geeks, it's no wonder it never took that long for porn to be available on the web.

  7. bull$h|t. on Cellphone Drivers Drive Like Drunks · · Score: 1

    I still drive like ralph schumacher(sp?) when I'm having a three-way...

    This is the sound of sarcasim.

  8. maybe... on Who Needs Harvard? · · Score: 1

    It's because they actually don't need the money so they don't have the drive a poorer employee would have to do good in a position.

  9. Shell, Shell, Shell on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Mario Kart: Double Dash

  10. Re:Sync on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 1

    My point exactly... is this technology playing music 'at the same time'?

  11. One week... on Wired's 2004 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    "6. Gran Turismo 4"... oops!
    http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.p hp?aid= 6178

    Shipped Dec. 28th in Japan and sold 620,000 units in one week.... Vapor no more.

  12. Sync on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 1

    I once tried something like this with ICEcast/ShoutCAST and a bunch of less-known streamers/players. This one would have the p2p advantage but does it really play them in sync?

    Every player/steamer I used would play songs 'at the same time' but you they weren't in sync so one source would sound upto 5 seconds ahead/behind of the next.

  13. Seektime? on Hitachi to Release Half TB Drive Soon · · Score: 1

    come'on this has got to have seek time in the tenth's of seconds.

  14. Say What? on Some Ways To Avoid Spam On Gmail · · Score: 1

    Dramatically worse? I've had my account fro almost six months now - not one spam yet.

  15. Here's the thing... on Canada Quashes Copyright Tax on MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    Canadian's have essentially avoided most of the litigation involved with downloading copywrited music and other media as the government has levied tax on all blank media. The monies collected are 'redistributed to artists'.

    So, while some people might think this ruling is a great idea - it's really not. While it might not be illegal to download and copy the music to CD (taxed media), will your flash stick now be considered an illegal media to hold your downloaded songs?

    Take it one step further - untaxed iPod users are arrested with 'up to 2500' accounts of copywrite infringement... I can't wait to see the Canadian Apple-hating cops in full riot gear trying to quell the next generation of iTunes users.

  16. Re:Easy enough, on Possible uses for Power over Ethernet · · Score: 1

    I prefer the C&C Tesla coils to shock my ememies.

  17. bn on Symantec to Buy Veritas · · Score: 1

    Billion should always be spelt with a capital B... even if it is Symantec.

  18. Mature Words. on Google Suggest · · Score: 1

    Typing 'sex' ends-up with no results... the story of my life.

  19. Re:You lost me... on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    It's a joke... a little sarcasim...
    If everyone's so bad at math they can't figure-out 1/3 of 40 now can they?

  20. Could it be the model is broken? on Dell Calls For Red Hat To Lower Prices · · Score: 1

    Will the RedHat drop - I mean, is their business plan flawed?

  21. You lost me... on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    "The US kids rated 28th of 40 (so in the bottom third)"

    28 is in the bottom third of 40? whoa.

  22. Better Question... on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    How many people in the IT industry can have side-jobs... I'm under an exclusivity clause.

  23. How about... on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 1

    Using kinetics... I mean, watch manufacturers use it already... How much trouble would it be to put that into a mouse? Maybe I'll make it my weekend project :-)

    Seriously though, the average person never spots a mouse on the screen before it moves... hence, the extra moves to 'find the pointer' and every subsequent movement could be used to charge the mouse.

    Just food for thought.

  24. Re:The United States is big on Report: Broadband In US Homes Nearly 20 Percent · · Score: 1

    I _REALLY_ don't think this is the issue... I mean, do you have any idea how hard it was to bring the internet (let alone broadband) to Newfoundland? I was one of the first people with broadband on the island and that was somewhere around 96-97... I mean tell me, how's Hawaii or Nantucket doing, does anyone know?

    Putting aside the area just North of the Great Lakes, the Canadian population is far from being clumped together.

    Canada has great broadband internet penetration for several reason. The main ones being that since there are very few choices for broadband, the networks grow bigger & faster then if they were competing with a bunch of major players.

    Also, there was an article on /. back on Nov. 21, 2000 when the Canadian Gov. put Broadband on a list of 'essential services' for quality of life... This makes it cheaper for individuals and businesses to afford...

  25. One week's worth of work... on MPAA Looks to Sniff Internet2 Traffic for Sharers · · Score: 1

    Gee, ya know, I think these guys finally figured it out... in one week they've tracked users, sued them and even started looking at emerging technologies too see what hazard they might pose... all in ONE week! Talk about waking up from the stone age...
