    Yes, but YOU'RE ASIAN!

    Who do they allow to sync? I'm curious.

    Hey, hey, hey! Don't forget ~4679.67 degrees Rankine!

    What *does* stay gaseous at 50 Kelvins? Even liquid nitrogen boils at 77 K.

    About your sig: Citation? (yeah, I know, offtopic)

  6. Re:S3x on Mainstream Press "Cringes" At Win7 Launch Parties · · Score: 1

    You won't be laughing when the DRM on the hooker detects that the sex has not been paid for.

  7. Re:Motorcycle? on New Motorcycle World Speed Record, 367.382 mph · · Score: 2, Funny

    And ironically, the guy who drove it was named "Carr." :-)

  8. Re:Show of Hands on Senate To Reconsider Wiretap Immunity · · Score: 1

    Didn't Austria-Hungary technically start WWI? The archduke was assassinated in Serbia and they invaded, Russia mobilized, and Germany got pissed off. Then the shit hit the fan.

  9. Re:Highly Optimized UEFI on New Phoenix BIOS Starts Windows 7 Boot In 1 Second · · Score: 1

    ...Apple paid Intel to...not boot OS X.

    What?!

    Who ridicules the ridiculers?

  11. Re:Mac. on Firefox To Replace Menus With Office Ribbon · · Score: 1

    Fellatious or fallacious? They both kinda make sense...

  12. Re:Ribbon sucks on Firefox To Replace Menus With Office Ribbon · · Score: 1

    "Honey, where are you going?"

    "Oh, I'm just taking the TARDIS down to the market. I don't really know when it's going to be there."

  13. Re:Finally on According to Linus, Linux Is "Bloated" · · Score: 1

    Why do you think it's taken the GNU crew so long to build their own kernel? If you think you can do better, go ahead.

  14. Re:Wikileaks link on TI vs. Calculator Hackers · · Score: 1

    That, and "because we can."

    It's kind of sad, really, because TI seems to have been pretty lax about this sort of borderline-"infringing" stuff for a long time. You can download TI emulators and, with a little extra effort, *cough* ROMs. And they haven't done anything to break non-nostub ASM programs on the 83+/84+ line, charitably enough (okay, so that doesn't have to do with infringement).

  15. Re:Hrrmm... on Cursive Writing Is a Fading Skill — Does It Matter? · · Score: 1

    There was. Cliff and Timothy left a handwritten notes...

    Apparently your post is in cursive too.

  16. Overlords? on Paraplegic Rats Enabled To "Walk" Again · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should team up with the dead fish with feelings and take over the world.

  17. Re:How about Nintendo? on The PS3's "Yellow Light of Death" · · Score: 1

    The only hardware issues that people have cited a lot are the DS lite hinge cracking

    There, fixed that for you.

  18. Re:Which colours? on DHS Ponders "Improving" Terrorism Alert System · · Score: 1

    Mauve is the universally recognized color for danger. Red is just you humans.

  19. Re:What has anyone Hird of the Hurd? on Old Operating Systems Never Die · · Score: 1

    Haven't you heard? The Hurd is the word.

  20. Re:Proof of absence on In Britain, Better Not Call It Bogus Science · · Score: 1

    To be fair, didn't the act of reasoning out the Babelfish destroy god? And if he was destroyed, doesn't it imply that he had to have existed in the first place? If he didn't exist, who created the Babelfish? By reasoning the existence of the Babelfish, it was concluded god didn't exist. God did exist, then disappeared. Then who created the Babelfish? Was man just having a dream? And how can you die in your dreams? How can you dream unless you're alive?

  21. Re:Almost competing on Windows 7 Upgrade Can Take Nearly a Day · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if you do a clean install it only takes like a half hour. If you do the package manager upgrade, it takes more like 8 hours. I've done both.

  22. Re:I cannot wait until ReactOS goes 1.0 on Lawsuit Claims WGA Is Spyware · · Score: 1

    Too bad that Microsoft will undoubtedly sue the ReactOS developers into oblivion five minutes before the first *really* workable version is released. I heard about ReactOS last year, and I'd love to see them succeed, but either 1) the ReactOS project will peter out before it reaches critical mass, or 2) by the time it's finally released, it won't be relevant anymore. (Hurd, anyone?) All the same, best of luck to them.

    So you're sarcastically agreeing with him? Or am I being wooshed?

  25. Re:Machines arn't even remotely comparable on OS Performance — Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10 · · Score: 1

    What the heck is up with all these posts starting out with "This."? The parent post didn't contain a question; even the question in the summary was rhetorical.
