    Oooh, my! Where will this end? Lego for the still unborn babies?

  2. Re:Lovely.... on Fiat Joins Microsoft in a Wireless Partnership · · Score: 4, Informative

    i've never owned a Fiat, but know some people who did. One of them complained that his windows would open all of themselves every now and then (when driving on a highway in winter). Another had Alfa Romeo (same concern I believe) which almost always blew it's headlights when you turned then on. So indeed, crappy electrical wiring...

    Driving around on a hot summer day in your Fiat, with your Windows wide open......

  5. That's a good idea on Send A Message To An LED Sign · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe you can use the smoke that's coming from your computer right now as a screen for looking at the Venus transit. You won't be using that for a while I guess.

    Your GF is reading a magazine while you ejaculate? You must be doing something wrong there!

  9. Re:Ok but seriously... on Kazaa Ruled Legal in The Netherlands · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, riding a bicylce at nigth without lights. And the police in Amsterdam are checking this like mad. On the other hand, since last week people smuggling up to three kilograms of coke into the country just get sent away. They don't get arrested, they will just be sent away. Amazing country, this! It's just that we don't have enough prison cells, so over here it's better to smuggle large amounts of drugs than to ride a bike without lights. ** blink, blink **

  10. Re:Time for plan B on Lunar Polar Ice Not Present · · Score: 1

    What I did with several comets and meteors that I own, is catch them with an ACME comet catcher (tm). It's basically a net, not unlike the ones used for catching that ever illusive roadrunner.

    I owned that ice! Who took it????

  12. Re:They are Spying on us! on Next Major War in Space? · · Score: 1

    And the problem with that would be....? Does the US have a monopoly on spying or something?

  13. Just what we need... on Universe Shaped Like A Soccer Ball? · · Score: 4, Funny

    In my country (the Netherlands) most people think that the world revolves around football (that is soccer). So let's all keep this quiet, and not let all those soccer fans know that in reality the whole universe now seems to revolve around, and is shaped like, a football...

  18. Question on Microsoft wants Automatic Update for Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    How do you know Microsoft is automagically updating your system? I think the fact that it reboots ten times in a row is quite a giveaway...

  19. Hmmmmph on Open Source Community Approaches SCO · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...in which Raymond said that if there was infringing code in the Linux kernel, "our community wants no part of it and will remove it.

    I don't think that SCO wants those lines removed, because their whole business plan now seems based on those lines being in there.

  20. Re:... better yet on FSF, GCC, and SCO Compiler Support · · Score: 5, Funny

    No just make a nagging compiler. Let it put up a nag screen with each statement it compiles, showing the statement and asking the programmer if it's allright to compile this and if it's not violating one or more IP's (Yes/No/Abort). :)

  22. Re:Sculling... on New Theory on Water Strider Propulsion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yep I can, or at least could. When I was a kid I used to do this all the time in small rowing boats. And you don't actually make circular or elliptical movements, but something resembling an 'infinity' symbol (fgures eight). That is with your hands; the blade of the oar starts making an elliptical form through this, with the blade pressing against the water when you move 'along' the eight and slicing through the water when you turn the 'corners' of your figure eight.
    Sorry for the rather vague description, but it's the best I can come up with at the moment

  25. Cannot resist... on Triple E Entanglement Lends Hope to Quantum Computer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Exploiting such quantum weirdness, a quantum computer would be able to perform many computations at once, making it vastly more powerful than a conventional computer.
    I'm sure the masters of code bloat will hog up such a computer as fast as you can say 'Schrodinger'. The main advantage of doing multiple computations at once will be that while your quantum computer BSOD's, Clippy will come walking right through that asking if you need help.
