  1. Re:Why use "tainted"? on 3DLabs Releases Linux Drivers · · Score: 2, Funny
    There's got to be a better way of describing a kernel that contains closed source software that isn't so dramatic or apocalyptic.

    How about "hainted"? Damn Richers, putting their closed code in our kernels.

  2. Yes! on Machinima Invade Hollywood's Turf? · · Score: 1
    or example, George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic is using the Unreal engine to storyboard Star Wars movies.

    I saw a UFO once, man. It just floated there in the air. Then it said I was going to have a good year.

  7. Re:9% is a lot on Few Companies Change Linux Plans Despite SCO Suit · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I've seen projects canned for even sillier reasons than that, believe it or not.

    I believe it. I was told that I couldn't even test Hot Dog Pro as an HTML editor, because the name is too silly. (Sausage is also a silly name for a serious company) Dreamweaver was the choice, chosen before testing, because it sounded more "professional", and had magazine ads and reviews.

  8. Re:Dammit! on Wal-Mart Cancels RFID Trial · · Score: 2, Insightful
    use them to track my pets

    Wouldn't a better idea be to use RFIDs to track the politically inconvenient? Implant them under the skin, on the forearm perhaps. It's a little less conspicuous then tattoing numbers on them.

    I'm not sure HOW or WHY you would do this, but it sounds VERY naughty.

  15. Re:My take on videogame violence. on Warriors Of Freedom Prompted Rampage Attempt? · · Score: 1
    Nitpick: eating a rotten jelly corpse could cause death by food poisoning, NOT a "killed by XXX while helpless" death. You're thinking of getting killed by a kitten after hitting a floating eyeball.

    Suddenly my life doesn't look so pathetic.

  16. Re:So what? on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 1

    Whoa! Slow Down! Don't forget to get one that supports the User Database Protocol (UDP). It's a networking thingy that my book I got from AOL says computers need for the Internet.

  17. Re:Tech Geeks don't understand Mgmt Jargon on Public Confused by Tech Lingo · · Score: 1
    It's only fair that when I talk about SMP architectures, S-ATA, Terabytes, 64-bit, distributed model computing, TCP, UDP, server farms, load balancers, and quad-port ethernet adapters ... that he think "blah blah blah boy that sounds expensive blah blah blah."

    You left out "shoes with laces".

    I would love to have a .net enabled ping utility!

    We've been waiting 70 years for an up-to-date 2nd Edition. Such a leap forward in the technology of ping would require it.

    I've had an Athalon box running 24/7 for over a year now. No problems at all.

    That's pretty good. Usually using knock-offs like Athalon, Panaphonics or Sorny is just GAGGING for trouble.
