  1. Re:EFF is nice.... on IP Enforcement Treaty Still Being Kept Secret · · Score: 4, Funny

    ACLU: Vigorously defending all odd-numbered amendments, when it's not too much of a bother.

  2. Re:Circuit City on US Trustee Asks To Send SCO Into Chapter 7 · · Score: 1

    ...I should think Circuit City ought to be a recent memory of exactly this.

    Yeah, raise the price of everything to 20-40% over market value, so it can be offered at a 10-20% discount off the "original price".

  3. Re:overpaid? on Pentagon Lost Billions, Pennies At a Time · · Score: 1

    I'm not an expert on finance or inflation, but $6/hr in 1969 might have been a fairly decent wage.

  4. Re:So basically... on Windows 7 Launch Date Leaked — 23 Oct. 2009 · · Score: 1

    Maybe, maybe not. It shouldn't be too long after Windows 7 is released before Wnidows 7 is out. It's not like anyone could mistake the cheap knock-off for the real thing.

    For example, I know that I recognize a genuine Panaphonics when I see one.

  5. Re:this wasn't my experience on IE8 Update Forces IE As Default Browser · · Score: 1

    He's probably not counting the time he sits on his hand to make it go numb first, so that he can do "The Stranger".

  7. Re:Using rockets for breaking? on Russian Manned Space Vehicle May Land With Rockets · · Score: 1

    Well, they probably do a good job if you are trying to break things by burning them. Not sure how that is 'retro' though.

  8. Re:Won't this largely depend on how well it works? on Windows 7's Virtual XP Mode a Support Nightmare? · · Score: 1

    Just crap tabloid journalism using sensationalism to attract readers.

    Wow, what a long-winded way to say 'kdawson'!

  9. Re:Sci Fi authors don't die. on J.G. Ballard Dies at Age 78 · · Score: 1

    All my stories are bullplop. Bullplop!!

  10. Re:But does it run... on First Look at Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Beta · · Score: 1

    No, it does not run, it limps. It IS Exchange, after all.

  15. Re:Not easy, and not the core problem on Google Engineers Say IPv6 Is Easy, Not Expensive · · Score: 1

    Define 'small team' - 5 people? 200? What's a 'small team' at Google?

  16. Re:Yup on Apple and AT&T Sued, Again, Over 3G · · Score: 1

    When my parents built their house 29 years ago the ISDN and cable stopped 2 blocks away.

    I'd be impressed if they had been able to pick a build site then based on ISDN, which is only about 25 years old, IIRC.

  17. Re:It's just Good Business on Office Depot Employee — "We Changed Prices Too" · · Score: 1

    Hey, different strokes for different folks. Try not to be so judgmental of other people's life choices.

  18. Re:Some also want knives banned on UK To Mull High Video Game Taxes — To Fight Knife Crime · · Score: 1

    While we're at it, why don't we ban penises? After all, it's the weapon of choice for rapists everywhere!

  19. Re:not a machine on Lawyer Sues To Get a Patent On Marketing · · Score: 1

    If I set my KRZR USB connect type to "Data", needs Motorola drivers installed to charge. If I set it to "Memory Card", it works as a mass storage device and charges.
