  1. Re:Audio? on NASA Tests X-43A · · Score: 1

    There's audio, but it is almost completely silent between moments of conversation as they get everything into position.

  2. Re:Unresolved bugs. on Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...

    But stainless steel is silv... Oh.

  3. What will they call it? on MSN Rolling Out New Search Engine In July · · Score: 1

    Moogle?

    (Envisions the lawsuits from Square as well as Google)

  4. Re:Four on Hand-Powered Hardware? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Doesn't that make five?

    1 + 3 + 1 ?

    *has a flash back to the movie Clue. "1 + 2 + 1 + 1"*

  5. Re:Exceptions on US Govt Makes Times New Roman 14 Official Font · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't forget about the "Super Secret" communications.

    'Encrypted "Super Secret" communications will be done with Wingdings 16'

  6. Re:But the real question..... on Laser System to be Tested in Boulder, CO · · Score: 1

    Watching that movie in my younger years I loved the ending with the popcorn streaming out of the ruins of Hathaway's house...

    Watching it now being older as the kids from the neighborhood play in the popcorn my first thought is:

    "Hey! Get out of there! There's broken glass from the windows in there!

    *feels old*

  7. Canopy Group / Umbrella Corporation on NY Times Reveals SCO/Canopy Group Hypocrisy · · Score: 1

    Anyone else sense a greater conspiracy here?

    *ducks*

  8. Re:The only threat from NBC on Sensor Networks for NBC Threats · · Score: 1

    Nah, on it's own it was just more subversive. =)

  9. For all sensitive porpoises? on No Business Like SCO Business · · Score: 1

    *gets out his chalk and goes to the board* "No sir, I'll never do it again."

  10. Re:*stabs own eyes out with a fork* on No Business Like SCO Business · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have no idea.

    Right now I'm so hot I've got a higher SCOville rating than a Red Savina Habanero (350,00 - 577,000 on the Scoville scale, compared to the Scotch Bonnet which has 150,000 - 325,000)

    And yes, I hate myself for that reference.

  11. *stabs own eyes out with a fork* on No Business Like SCO Business · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ok. We all know what SCO is doing, or at least trying to do.

    I hate to sound like a troll, but do we really need this ammount of press time about it? How aobut one giant wrap-up post once this whole business is overwith and SCO is nothing but a faded memeory?

    Could we try that? Please?

  12. Re:Entertainment God? on Bill Gates, Entertainment God? · · Score: 1

    Nah... He just changes his score sheet to be closer to it.

  13. Re:I predict... on Bill Gates, Entertainment God? · · Score: 1

    Awful?

    I'd love to have Borg type impants to contorl my home. =)

  14. Re:Sorry, thanks for playing on fvwm Turns Ten · · Score: 1

    Heh, I stand corrected. At least I was right, just the wrong series of processor.

    I blame it in working retail for Best Buy in my youth. I lost more brain cells there than anyone I've known doing any sort of drugs. =P

  15. Re:why didn't this window manager die LONG AGO? on fvwm Turns Ten · · Score: 2, Informative

    By definition a DX has a built in math coprocessor. The SX series was a DX chip with the built in CoProcessor disabled so Intel could sell a math coprocessor add on chip.

  16. Naming conventions... on Inside Microsoft's New F# Language · · Score: 1

    Ok, if they had to continue with this silly "sharp" naming convention they could have at least done something on the geeky side and called it B#.

    Of course, a lot of the people wouldn't get it, but those of us that do would be wondering if it was deliberate or just a coincidence?

  17. Re:Europa on Pictures of Earth From Mars · · Score: 1

    Use them together.

    Use them in peace.

  18. Re:Fake fake fake on Pictures of Earth From Mars · · Score: 1

    (Though I guess the Moderators need an injection of a sense of humor.)

  19. Re:Fake fake fake on Pictures of Earth From Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, it's a good thing then this pic was taken from Mars' orbit then, isn't it? =)

    (Yes, I know you post was humor. =P)

  20. An alternate proposal? on Credit and Free Software · · Score: 1

    Why not just have someone register and maintain softwarecredits.org and then request that distro maintainers and FS/OSS browsers ship with it as the default webpage. That way people will know of it, and they can still change the default page if they want?

    Or is this too logical? =P

  21. Obligitory PayPal Reference: on Another Private Space Startup · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So, did he get the funding from this from all the disgruntled PayPal users?

    http://www.paypalsucks.com

    You might not like it, but that's my opinion.

  22. Pinky? Are you pondering what I'm pondering? on LCD Display/Image Capture Device · · Score: 1

    "Uh, I think so Brain, but monitors as webcams? That's a silly idea."

    Besides how will I be able to make fun of friends when they tell me they met this really hot supermodel online...

    I mean, honesty on the Internet? Yeah, right.

  23. Re:Drivers? on Linux Audio Development · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, they don't need to be commercial drivers per-se (where the drivers are sold as-is) but rather a commercial body (who knows, maybe sponsored and funded by the for-sale Linux distros) which would negotiate and create the drivers to distribute back to the community which funded them.

    They'd just be the central group who'd be dealing with the companies to get the information.

  24. Drivers? on Linux Audio Development · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't the largest issue with any support on Linux still the fact that very few companies are willing to put in the time to create Linux drivers let alone have have the decency to release the information on the chipsets to the public to allow 3rd party drivers to be created?

    Maybe what should be looked into is the creation of a vested interest just to deal with sound card companies and try and negotiate accessability to chipset information to create drivers for their cards for other OSes than they're willing to develop for in-house.

  25. Who cares about 3D? on Duke Nukem 3D Source Released to GPL · · Score: 1

    Personally I don't care how old the game is, or if it's really 3D.

    What this game means to me is yet another way to just have fun and blow stuff up.

    But hey, I still play StarCraft too, so games don't have to be new to impress me.

    But then again, I DO like MoO3, so YMMV. =P
