  2. Re:The next Bangalore... on VoIP Booming in Africa · · Score: 1
    So how long until we start outsourcing jobs there?

    And how long until our boys have to lug around the Saharan Torpedo?

    Anyone got some poo and a lighter?

    Hold on, I'm on my way to White Castle and Tobacco Road. Be back in a flash.

  4. Wow, Travelator on High Speed Travelator · · Score: 4, Funny

    No! I thought, uh, I thought I'd chauffeur myself this evening. Yes, that's what I thought. How difficult could it be? I'm sure the manual will indicate which lever is the velocitator and which the deceleratrix, hmm?

  5. Re:Obvious solution on Melamine Ceiling Tiles and the Quiet PC · · Score: 1
    You need to add some air holes.

    Better yet, add Speed Holes to make it go faster.

  6. Posts/Screws/Clips on Melamine Ceiling Tiles and the Quiet PC · · Score: 2, Funny
    I usually spend my time on the computer with a pair of headphones on just so I can escape the noise of the three or four cooling fans rattling around inside my computers' case.

    Those holes in the fan chassis are for the screws that came with it, unless you have a nice case with existing clips for simple mounting of the fans. Just leaving the fans hanging by the power cables to "rattle around" is not a good idea.

  7. Re:NES production to stop this year? on Former Nintendo Boss Talks GameCube, PSP · · Score: 1
    I've never seen an original NES system that didn't start having problems loading games after a few years

    Got ours for Christmas in '85, and it still works fine, except for Double-Dribble, which loads, but dies after a few minutes.

    You forgot the foot.

    Ah-ha! So it's the Gnome team that's slowing things down?

    I thought this was solved by NOT allowing curbside luggage check-in.

  10. Re:Nice verbing on Beyond Software Architecture · · Score: 1
    a light bulb burned out and it needs electricianing.

    Hate to be nit-picky, but shouldn't that be "screwering"?

  11. Fuck Gesture Control on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 1

    If we outlaw gestures, only criminals can flip people off!

    Wasn't this a movie?

  13. Re:Wrecklessness on July 6th - Website Defacement Day? · · Score: 1

    Actually, they seem to be advocating wreckingness, rather than wrecklessness.

  14. Re:handCLUFF? on July 6th - Website Defacement Day? · · Score: 1
    It's obvious they're from Japan!

    Prease, don't be an ass. The Japanese plonounce "handcuffing" in the exact same way we Amellicans do, and can handcuff tellolists arr day rong, IMO.

  15. Re:I notice... on July 6th - Website Defacement Day? · · Score: 1

  17. Re:And still on Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop · · Score: 3, Funny
    so you can look at what's going on with your Windows 2003 when you need it most!

    Just a guess, but "what's going on" is probably colored blue.

  18. Re:Airport Base Station - Top 10 why to say 'no' on Building A (Serious) Home Network From Scratch · · Score: 1
    the network being as slow as mollass.

    Would that be Richard Moll? Is his ass REALLY as slow as 802.11b?

  19. Re:RTFF on Archiving Web Pages - Legal or Illegal? · · Score: 1
    Not if that thing out in public view is copyrighted.

    So, I'd be breaking the law if I went to Stephen King's next book-signing, and snapped a shot of the cover art of the books on the table?

  20. Re:Mark Hamil? on Indiana Jones To Arrive Again in 2005 · · Score: 1
    I remember reading that Mark Hamil was talked about for playing Indiana's long lost evil brother.

    Yes, he tortures Indy and his dad by gargling Gershwin non-stop until Sallah shows up and smacks him with one of Brody's crutches.

  21. Re:One true windows path? on Windows Tech Writer Looks at Linux · · Score: 1

    It's a shortcut, for when you don't want to follow the one paved with good intentions.
