  1. PI License? on PC Repair In Texas Now Requires a PI License · · Score: 1

    Really? PI license? Damn I'm gonna impress the ladies when I stuff all that in my pocket! That thing goes on forever I imagine! I need to stitch on more room to my pockets.

  2. Bring out your dead! *BONG* on Blizzard Announces Diablo 3 · · Score: 1

    From Deckard Cain: I'm getting better, I think I'll go for a walk in Diablo 3.

    From Blizzard: No your not you'll be stone dead in a moment. Look is there anything you can do?

    From Deckard Cain: I feel happy! I'll identify your items free!

    *KONK*

    From Blizzard: Oh thanks!

    From Diablo: No trouble at all, see you next Thursday!

    From Blizzard: Right!

    (Makes me wonder if I should bother with Wrath of the Lich King and just start saving $15/month. I did enjoy the first two games very much.)

  3. Wonderfull.. now the big questions... on The Fight To End Aging Gains Legitimacy, Funding · · Score: 1

    * Who or what is going to feed all these never aging people?

    * Whats going to happen if humanity never gets it's collective backside off Earth when the Sun decides to heat things up more the usual and actually starts going to it's Red Giant phase?

    * Remember that 1960's Star Trek episode where Kirk was on a planet that was so over populated because nobody really died unless they were very old? Do we want that for Earth?

    * With old age not being a factor anymore, what about people who are in or near vegitative states? Are we going to let them live forever too or starve to death? Will we euthanize them? Lots of ethical issues here.

    * What about mental retardation? Some of those people are amazing and have been in films and other things. Will they live forever too or do we exclude these people to keep the gene pool clean so to speak?

    I guess I should read the article now. I just had some questions that popped in my mind from the summary I had to ask.

  4. Re:easy on Children Concerned By Parents' Web Habits · · Score: 1

    Better yet block the ports WoW uses on the router and then go in her hosts file and redirect everything to World of Warcraft to 127.0.0.1.

  5. Re:What a way to go on Why the LHC Won't Destroy the World · · Score: 1

    2. Instantaneous conversion of all stuff on earth into exotic matter.

    *Stocks up on toilet paper and launches it in a return orbiter* I'll be rich, rich I tell you!

  6. Re:Should have left it as is on Return of the '70s Microsoft Weirdos · · Score: 1

    The photo is like a cliched ending to a stereotypical Hollywood morality tale.

    For what some people paid they could have at least given out free popcorn and soda.

  7. Waste to throw him in prison for 38 years... on Student Faces 38 Years In Prison For Hacking Grades · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's 38 years under tax payer care. Honestly I say find a way to put him to work with the talent he has so he's not as much a burden and keep him under heavy watch as he does the work.

  8. Downside of IP conciderations... on Inside the Internet Archives · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I had a cheesy site back in college where I played around with HTML and learning the basics. I ended up making a few pages that poked fun at friends.

    I went to archive.org years later looking for them cause I remember back in the day they nabbed em and now they're all gone. The images and sounds I used were all gone.

    I wanted to recreate a page from that archive for nostalgia reasons with my old friends. Can't do it and I can't find the files anymore in my local archives.

    I was kinda disappointed but I guess it was expecting too much. I really wish there was a true and complete archive of the internet that didn't care what was there it just had it.

  9. Prof suggested this a bit ago... on Computer Art For a CS Dept Office? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Back when I was in college he suggested putting 'Computer Science' in binary on the floor tiles in the hall way.

  10. The perfect coding chair... on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    Is one that lets me see the code, data, and everything else in my mind. I can manipulate this all with my brain and write and compile directly.

    Then again, given how some people code. *Looks at the 800+ line PL/SQL procedure on his desktop monitor* It might be best to have a nice comfy leather chair with back support and a stiff drink instead of inviting Freddy Krugger in to my head.

  11. God I want one.. on Machine Prints 3D Copies Of Itself · · Score: 3, Informative

    All the times I've owned something and one annoying plastic part breaks ruining the product. With this baby it'd be so easy for companies to send replacement parts at a fraction of the cost I bet.

    If I still had my old Dell laptop I'd print the latch that broke off a few years ago.

  12. Re:Sounds like a PR stunt on Sci-Fi Channel Merging TV Show with MMO · · Score: 1

    Or maybe you're into medieval fantasy? Well, exactly which of WoW's (or EQ2's, or whatever) quests would be great fun to watch on TV?

    Thats easy, the orc quest in the Valley of Trials where you beat peons to get them working again. Outside of that you may be starving for material.

    "Me not that kind of orc!"

  13. Re:xo on Previously Uncontacted Amazon Tribe Photographed · · Score: 5, Funny

    Indeed, its an interesting thought though... I mean, everytime a chopper flies over, you could be redefining their entire religion or something.

    God help them if one chopper of geeks drop's XO's with EMACS and another chopper of geeks drops XO's on the neighboring tribe with VI.

  14. Re:I doubt this will take off like the EEE on Asus Set To Release Desktop Eee PC Variant · · Score: 1

    If they price it right, people who can't afford computers for their children in the states will gobble this up like no tomorrow.

    Lots of people commented that my EEE would be great for their kid going in to college. If they had a desktop version that was cheap and good as the EEE then I think it's going to sell like hotcakes to college students.

  15. Re:It's PC Magazine and just about everyone. on Ballmer Says Vista Selling Really Well · · Score: 1

    * 4 GB of memory supported on 32-bit Vista.

    My Vista Home Premium machine that is the 32-bit version only reports 3326MB of the 4 gigs I have installed.

  16. Off the top of my head... on To Whom Should I Donate? · · Score: 1

    Step 1: Make a list of specific things you use regularly.

    Step 2: Divide the cash among those products.

    Step 3: Profit for them!

  17. Re:Your religion may vary... on Get the Family Dog Cloned · · Score: 1

    I was going to type something else but something inside of me just said to simplify it. I should have adjusted the subject a bit though to make more sense with what I typed.

  18. Your religion may vary... on Get the Family Dog Cloned · · Score: 1

    Part of truely loving something is knowing when to let go.

  19. *Fwooosh!* on Linux Desktop to Appear On Every Asus Motherboard · · Score: 4, Funny

    Somewhere in Washington state, a chair is launched on a direct trajectory towards Asus's offices. Naturally NORAD is confused at first till they calculate the launch location.

  20. Re:I hope... on To Curb Truancy, Dallas Tries Electronic Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Quick, name the last abduction in your area that was not done by a parent or other family member. No looking it up, you have to remember it.

    I can't, but when you can tell me that everyone in the world is 100% normal and they don't do bad things then I'll stop worrying. Till then I don't particularly feel comfortable showing the kind of information that is on that map to the general public.

    The other thing is, who cares if it's a parent or family member? If they're nuts and need to be kept away from the child for whatever reason this map won't help that.

    I guess I'm over reacting. Oh well.

  21. I hope... on To Curb Truancy, Dallas Tries Electronic Monitoring · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The map on the article is just a doctored up map and not an actual map showing actual locations of children. With all the nut jobs running around kidnapping kids of all ages, this seems like the dumbest thing for them to post to the world.

  22. 6,666,666,666 and 666,666,666 eh? on Estimated World Population to Pass 6,666,666,666 Today · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dear me, it's a good thing I keep a chainsaw gased up and ready to go next to my shotgun.

  23. This will be interesting. on NASA Planning Mission To 40-Meter-Wide Asteroid · · Score: 1

    I hope people are prepared for the day when we first lose someone outside of the play pen that the shuttle has been in. I hope everything goes well but what happens if something goes wrong and someone floats off in to forever so to speak? How are people going to handle that? What do they do to prepare the people going on the mission in case that happens? Do they offer them a quick and painless option so to speak? I'm kinda curious.

  24. Doom3 on id Software Announces Doom 4 · · Score: 1

    I enjoyed it, some of the cut scenes were really good. Guy crawling out of the hole and seeing the cyber demon and especially the lady who turned in to a burning skull were good to me.

    The flashlight was my only grumble the whole time. I played it through w/out duct tape. Still it was a bugger.

  25. Re:Not new on Microsoft Helps Police Crack Your Computer · · Score: 1

    The only thing that might be a problem is browsing the registry, but I wonder if wine's regedit can load native Windows registry hives. If so, then all Microsoft has done is taken existing Linux functionality and made it user friendly for the police.

    There are windows utilities that let you load the hives from a boot CD. I used it to clean infections from computers from a BartPE CD.

    Infact the more I think about it the tool I think came from the same people who made all those nifty diagnostics tools like a thread process and network port monitoring software. Ironicly the same group that Microsoft bought out not too long ago.
