  1. FIRST JACK on Segway Getting Real-Life Tests · · Score: 1

    First Seg-Jacking.

    I can imagine it being quite easy to steal one of these, easier than Car Jacking...and they all look the same .. so once yours it gone, it looks like all the others.

  2. Russia's situation on Taxing Sci-Fi Products to Fund NASA? · · Score: 1

    was created by going from 100% regulation, to near 0% regulation.

    If we had no regulations you'd see all sorts of crazy stuff being marketed

  3. First princess Di on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 1

    and now Linda, when will people learn to use their seatbelts!

    oh well ....

  4. Re:Spooky? Not if you're a parent. on FDA Approves Implantable Microchips · · Score: 1

    You are too stupid to live.

    This is not a human Lo-Jack.

    The best this does is say (when a severed limb is found) ... "Oh, we found Suzy Smith's arm!"

    However, I imagine a human Lo-Jack is just around the corner.

    OTOH, the reason this works for pets is because they are to stupid to use the spoken language and say "I'm Spot and it sucked being in the woods for two days, take me home to 325 Spring Lane please".

    If you have a child with simular spoken language problems, and you let them roam free for hours, I guess this implant is right for you....

  5. Re:Maybe Bill's Just Pissed He Got April Fooled? on Microsoft Tech Specs Prohibit GPL Implementations · · Score: 1

    Lots of times the victen has no say,,,I know in Los Angeles they are doing this with spouse abuse.

    I use to be the abused spouse had to "press charges'...not anymore. Now it's up to the DA, and they *are* pressing charges.

    Maybe in Belgium they have a simular situation with assault and battery.

  6. He he on Beer Stein Goes Hi Tech · · Score: 1

    1) Capacitor like device charges
    2) Shocks patron
    3) Patron falls to floor
    4) Server says "ah, they're ready for another at table 3"

  7. Re:As a forum owner, I'm not surprised. on PetsWarehouse vs. Mailing List · · Score: 1

    here where I work we managed to write a perl script which strips attachements off incoming mail; then sends the mail on. I imagine he could have done something like this; or if he bounced a email, have explaining text included.

  8. Re:Probably won't be the only one ... on Suing Sony for Everquest Related Suicide? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like everyone I know over 50....

  9. I'm addicted to Love on Suing Sony for Everquest Related Suicide? · · Score: 1

  10. just release the code on Tracking Code to Its Origins? · · Score: 1

    My cousin....Joey, yeah, Joey and I can 'take care' of any ... say ... unforseen circumstances...?

    Our standard 20% [of all you got] is fine.

  11. Re:So how well does it run? on Linux On Big Iron · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the exact same thing.

    I re-read it, thinking "he must mean 700k users"

    On a side note: $150,000 for a MS mail solution to handle 700 users? That's over $200/user.

    It makes Steve Martin's "gasoline-powered turtleneck sweater" sound like a rational product.

  12. it doesn't matter on Offices vs. Cubes For Developers? · · Score: 1

    the beancounters will stick you in the cheapest office imaginable; while they get plush offices.

    wait and see

  13. Re:Cigarettes on Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure. My second-cousin, in Michigan, has stopped two armed robberies; simply being a pistol carrying US citizen, with some early army training and an intolerance for violators of civil obediance. He is quite a normal fellow in all other respects.

  14. Re:But telcos are -smart-! on Bandwidth Shortage And The Telephone Company · · Score: 1

    This technology exists now ...

    What the article really says...our current multiplexters & routers are nearing capacity, more will need to be bought.

    My friend at nortel says they are working on over 100 lazers using the same *single strand* (not pair) of fibre. I think most current production systems use 4 lazers on a pair.

  15. No more internet at work... on No More Unrestricted Internet At Work · · Score: 2, Funny

    In related news, scores on Tetris and up over 30% worldwide .....

  16. old coin joke on Laptop Anti-Theft Devices · · Score: 1

    * old lappy / dos
    * write proggy which plays the sound file "Someone Is Trying To steal Me!" Whenever any button is pressed. Plays for 60 seconds.
    * epoxy

    1) glue lappy to table top
