  1. Excuse Me on Hitachi's Water-cooled Laptop · · Score: 3, Funny

  2. Re:Let the jokes fly! on Volvo's "Safety Car" Runs Windows 98 · · Score: 1, Troll

    - The version with the automatic transmission would have 4 drive gears that all work differently, that way you can pick one from an individual that you like.

    Be minimally dexterous, get a standard shift.

    - Instead of intuitive buttons on the steering column to turn on windshield wipers and so on, you have a patch board complete with a very nice array of differing lengths of cable.

    Better than buttons. You'll be able to tell if the cable is plugged in. The cables are also labelled with WORDS, not "guess-what-I-do" inkblots.

    - The driver of the car has to understand how the internal combustion engine works before he can go anywhere in it.

    Easier than understanding how you click START to shut down.

    - More than one steering wheel can be added to the car, afterall it is a multi-user OS.

    Sounds like a Drivers Ed car. They have multiple brake pedals, too.

    - The gas door would be located underneath the car so that gas doesn't have to go as far to reach the tank. A bottleneck is removed that way.

    Been there, done that. Under the plate, bottom of the bumper.

    - The key to get into the door can only fit one right side up, afterall it is case sensitive.

    As it should be. If you put it in upside down and try to turn it, it'll break.

    - The 'ding ding' noise when you start the car without the seatbelt fastened won't go off because the sound drivers don't work.

    Thank God!! Much easier than dicking with fuses and rewiring to shut that fucking beeper off.

    - The car wouldn't come with headlights because only newbs need to be able to see where they're going.

    Only people who can install the lights properly should be allowed to drive. If you can't plug a lightbulb in, you're too stupid to drive.

  3. Re:Loss of credibility on Symantec to Acquire SecurityFocus · · Score: 2

    They are simply going to use the site to sell more virus protection software.

    That's a very narrow view to take. I bet they'll be trying to find ways to flog pcAnywhere, Ghost and WinFax, too.

    Outlook session on remote machine through Citrix (no idea about the costs)

    If you have a Windows 2000 server set up as a Terminal server, you can use the remote frame-buffer package to connect using RDP. Mandrake includes rfbdrake, a GUI front-end for the program. Best part is, it lets you connect as a "Windows 2000" PC, using a Windows CAL. Saves paying for a Citrix Server.

    On the subject of red staplers, why has the post WWII workplace insisted on mono-color conformity? It seems almost a conspiracy to ensure that office workers be isolated from as much visual stimulation as possible.

    Skinner: "Uh, oh. Two Independent Thought Alarms in one day. The employees are overstimulated. Willie! Remove all the colored staplers from the cubicles."
