  1. Languages die, let it go. on Is The Internet Destroying Spanish? · · Score: 1

    A short list of as many languages I can think of off the top of my head that are dead.

    Latin
    Phonecian
    Egyptian
    French
    Galic

    Some of these migh not be quite dead, but are on thier last gasps. *cough*french*cough* Don't think it's dying? It's in pretty sore shape if everyone in the country speaks a second language and the government has to pass laws to make them use french on the radio and tv.

    ignore me I'm sleepy.

  3. WOW! on Nvidia's NV20 · · Score: 1

    Holy cow! The chip can do 100 gigaflops...where does the standard for a supercomputer start?

    Ok, I can't resist.

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!

  4. Re:The Gnu/Linux project is Luciferian???? on Interview with Larry Wall · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, I seem to remember a pasage where Jesus says he's light bearer. But the lightbearer was Lucifer. Therefore Jesus is Lucifer.

    Good thing I don't take the bible too seriously.

  5. Re:Wizards and paperclips on What Does The Future Hold For Linux? · · Score: 1

    NO! Linux doesn't need Wizards and paperclips... EMACS does!

  6. IBM was wrong way back then. on First Digital Computer Dates back To 1944 · · Score: 1

    Remeber that often quoted IBM prediction from the 1950's that went that worldwide demand for computers would be 9 systems? So this release says they underestimated right from the start. One department in one country had a need by itself for 10.

    The mandatory Beowulf cluster gag has been said, so I'd like the blueprints and make one in my basement.

  7. Re:Is this for real? on New Eudora Includes Anti-Flame Technology · · Score: 2

    Oh God, it's real. All an e-mail client needs is a spell checker and sometimes a grammar checker. I don't need some new bug, er, feature telling me if I'm going to offend someone.

    I know when I'm going to offend someone! That's the point! When I say you're a Jesus raping, donkey licking, shit faced, cock sucking, uncle fucking, ass spelunking, corn-holing, vaseline smelling, penis puke, mother fucking, son of bitch, gosh darn-it, I mean it!

  8. Is this for real? on New Eudora Includes Anti-Flame Technology · · Score: 2

    No really...is this for real? It can't be real. If it was it's got to be one of the most lame-assed-dumb-fucked-shit-headed ideas I've ever seen.

  9. I wonder.... on Fusion Via Persuasion · · Score: 1

    I wonder. Since muons are like heavy electrons, if either of these techniques can be used in conjuction with a fusor (http://fus.x0r.com). Which was able to get fusion in the 1930's (i believe). But it sucked up way more power than it produced.

  10. So the art sux? big deal. on Evil Geniuses In A Nutshell · · Score: 1

    Too many people say the art in User friendly sux. Big whooping deal. Half the art in the comics section of your local newspaper probably sucks too. It's the writing. (which i admit seems to have gone downhill a bit lately) I've always enjoyed UF, been reading it for about a year and half now (also gpf-comics,and elf life). Hey why not check out my comics?

  11. I just read about this in E. S. Raymond's book! on Washington Supreme Court Upholds Shrinkwrap Licensing · · Score: 1

    I just read this in Eric S. Raymond's book (The Cathedral and the Bazaar). He made the point that current software liscenses absolve software makers of liability...making the "at least I can sue X company if thier software is faulty" argument for closed sourced software a null point. And here we have it a real world example of that point. Hmmm, I wonder what it's like to be right all the time...

  12. Re:Qubit.. on First 7-qubit Quantum Computer Developed · · Score: 1

    Neo did so say "ther is no spoon" there at the endf when he's tie-ing that rope thinging to his waist so trinity can get out of the helicopter. I think.

  13. Finally on Can Indrema Beat Microsoft To the Punch? · · Score: 1

    Now that this out I cn finally get rid of my Play Station partition. :P

  14. SPOON! on Live Action 'The Tick' Pilot · · Score: 1

    SPOOOON! 'nuff said.

  15. Re:Letter from the editor in chief of newsbytes on Linux Blamed for DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    I tried to read the article, but all i got wass a message from the editor saying that the article was taken down due to "flagrant inaccuracies"
