  13. Re:This will be made illegal on HOW TO: Convert a Mac into an x86 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Dear lowly worm,

    It has come to our attention that you have converted an apple into a car. This is strictly against our EULA and we will be dispatching our squadron of attack lawyers immediately. It will be an insanely great lawsuit featuring impeccably dressed lawyers with super slick white plastic computers. You have been warned.

    Sincerely,
    The Apple Legal Team

  14. Re:Why do we have this statement? on Juggling Molecules with Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

  19. Re:It's a triplet, actually... on Cold Fusion in a Breadbox Instead of a Bottle · · Score: 1

    Its thematically appropriate:

    "The current cold fusion apparatus still takes much more energy to start up than you get back out, and it may never end up breaking even."

    Now if only they could figure out how to generate energy from all the dupe postings.

  20. Re:what is /. for ?? on Google CEO Talks Business · · Score: 4, Funny

    Speak for yourself, I come here for the great business news but I stay for the cowboy neal jokes.

  21. Go? on Keep Fit Program For The Brain · · Score: 1

    Nevermind the hard work, what about the drugs? the first tip is about smart drugs and includes the following quote:

    "Modafinil can keep a person awake and alert for 90 hours straight, with none of the jitteriness and bad concentration that amphetamines or even coffee seem to produce."

    Hot damn! How much did Cephalon pay for that ad and where can I get some!

  22. Thank goodness! on Samsung Announces Flash-Based Disk Drive · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm so glad to hear they aren't announcing flesh-based disk drives. There may still be time to stop the robots from consuming us all!

  23. I disagree. on Publishers Protest Google Library Project · · Score: 5, Funny

    As I creative person I am offended that someone could possibly catch a glimpse of something I've toiled over without giving me shiny gold coins.

    I think we've got to nip this problem in the bud, and pronto! I think the most expedient system would be some sort of coin operated hood that could be welded onto consumer's heads. If you want to see or hear art, you simply need to drop some coins into the mechanism to open the shutter for a set amount of time.

    This would mean a constant flow of income that could be distributed to all creative people as follows:

    46 % - 'administration'
    28 % - Lawyer fees
    22 % - car payments
    13 % - more lawyer fees
    21 % - distribution .01% - 'artists'
    12 % - math consultants
    8.2% - contingency

    The only possible flaw with this plan is that the percentages add up to more than %100 percent, meaning that there would be an actual loss of profit, but I think the 'artist' could kick in an make up for that loss since they started this whole thing.

  24. Whatever you do.. on Apple Powerbook and iBook Battery Recall · · Score: 5, Funny

    DO NOT put them in a washing machine and puncture them with a screwdriver!

  25. Re:My own entry... on Contagious Media Showdown · · Score: 1

    goodness me.
