  1. Great! Thanks! on Generate AM Radio Broadcasts With Your Monitor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now, soon, we will not be able to use our laptops in flight. Woo!

  2. Can't wait until... on Dinosaur Robots Will Do My Bidding! · · Score: 1

    Troody looks like the prototype of the BattleTech robot I've always wanted. I need something else to get me through traffic. Go road rage!

  3. Re:Killing Lord British on Lord British In The New Yorker · · Score: 1

    http://www.gamepage.nl/cheats/pc/u/ultb.html http://www.rpgplanet.com/ultima9/walkthroughs/u9/k illing_british.shtml Google. It's amazing what you can find.

  4. Do they understand? on Supreme Court To Review Child Online Protection Act · · Score: 2

    I know the article was sparse on details, but does the Supreme Court and Congress understand they are passing laws and legislation against an entity that is worldwide and not restricted to US borders? Congress sees passing legislation against pornography is great at the polls and election time. But what will happen to those same politicians when little Johnny and Janey are viewing porn from offshore sites? I guess manifest destiny will see a come back. Ahem. Right.

  5. With this greater capability... on The Feds Thoughts on Clipper · · Score: 1

    With this greater capability will be a greater need for black helicoptors and cattle mutilations.

  6. Okay... on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    Soon, god will be suing the gaming industry for copyright infringement for the game "Black and White." Then, we'll be in a world of trouble.

  7. Re:ReplayTV has *already* fixed this on When Forced "Upgrades" Bring You Down · · Score: 1

    In my humble opinion, yes, commercials and advertising are *that* much of an intrusion. Life is too short to listen to that much crap. If I decide to spend some leisure viewing some show, I don't want my time wasted with needless advertising.

  8. Revolutionary? Perchance not. on Halfway Through The Revolution · · Score: 1

    I disagree with Mr. Katz's assertion the internet itself is revolutionary. I think the word evolutionary comes to mind. The internet is just another evolutionary step in humankind's ability to communicate with one another. Writing, the telegraph, and the telephone are just a few of the steps that precede the internet. If Jon spoke of the computer in it's various incarnations throughout history as being a revolutionary device, I might have agreed with him.

  9. But when the items become unwanted... on Self-Healing Composites · · Score: 1

    They'll be great things for our landfills.

  10. What are you? on Ask the Man Behind the Legend - Cowboy Neal · · Score: 1

    I saw your picture on cowboyneal.org. Are you really a gnome?

  11. Re:Sad on When Locusts Attack · · Score: 1

    Are you trying to defend racist jokes?

  12. Answers question about my flight on When Locusts Attack · · Score: 1

    I was wondering who was flying my United 767 flight...

  13. Re:more drugs = more sex? on Techies Rampant on Drugs · · Score: 1

    You make a good point. Let me revise my statement. To those of you who do drugs: Increase your consumption by 10,000 fold.

  14. Re:What's new? They're butchering English on Windows Whistler Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Yes. Newspeak doubleplus good.

  15. Main Screen Irony on Windows Whistler Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Since it's a Microsoft product, it's very important to put that bug-report (read most used) link on the main screen.

  16. Space exploration's new look... on Pizza Hut's Space Program: First Launch · · Score: 1

    The logos on the side are going to make rockets look like Nascar.

  17. Cowboy Neal on Who Will Mulder's Replacement Be? · · Score: 1

    The logical choice. heh.

  18. Urf... on Getting Ready for The X-Men · · Score: 1

    That movie review...

    There should be a special class of mutants: movie reviewers.

  19. Since they scan... on FBI E-Mail Wiretaps - The Carnivore System · · Score: 1

    Their application scans for specific words or groups of words. Everyone should include hot words that would bog down their efforts. Emacs has such a macro to include a handful of these terms.

  20. Really now... on Secretive Company Scanning the Net · · Score: 1

    This is a non-issue. Remember people, watch out for paranoia!

  21. Re:Here is a link to the Patent on BT To Enforce Patent On Hyperlinking? · · Score: 1

    Just slightly offtopic... does the patent office pay royalties for the GIF images on their site?

  22. Software Innovation? on Bungie Software Bought By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Microsoft keeps trying to convince everyone they have been writing innovative software for the past twenty-five years. Do they really think we believe it?

  23. What to build... on Lego Institutes Bulk Ordering · · Score: 1

    A life-sized version of Cowboy Neal.

  24. Smells like... on Smell Of Fresh Cut Grass Trademarked · · Score: 1

    I think I'll patent the odor of pizza, beer, and sweaty sex. I'll make a bundle!

  25. But we knew... on Is Netpliance Slamming Customers? · · Score: 2

    We knew we would be charged for one month of service. All we had to do was to cancel as soon as we received the box and there would be no more charges thereafter. It's still a good deal.
