    Homer: France.
    Scorpio: Hehehe, nobody ever picks Italy.

  2. Re:Thank God Katz didn't post this... on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 2

    Taco very pissed off if Katz had posted the same thing...

    Why? We all know Taco doesn't actually READ /. to see if his stories have already been posted. How would he know what Katz had done?

  3. One thought on Lack of Digital Screens for Attack of the Clones · · Score: 2

    Discounts. If the theater doesn't show AOTC as it is meant to be shown, (digital screen), are they going to charge less for the less-than-advertised exporience?

  4. Re:You know he loves you on Kathleen Fent Read This Story · · Score: 2

    because he spell-checked this post.

    But not the update.

    Kids with the letter "e" in their domain names would be legally assaulted by the Harry Potter franchise.

  7. Re:Someone call the FAA! on States Demand Windows Source Code · · Score: 2

    'cuz pigs are about to fly.

    Doubtful. Notched ears and curly tails are probably high up on the "Terrorist Indicators" list given to airport security, right between eyelash curlers and the United States Congressional Medal of Honor. Said pigs won't be allowed on the plane.

  8. Re:Who modded this down? on States Demand Windows Source Code · · Score: 2

    Hmmm... seeing "Microsoft" and "victim" in the same sentence is making me go cross-eyed.

    Yeah, you expect "victimiser" rather that victim.

  9. Re:Let's hope the CPU doesn't go in your pocket... on Hitachi's Wearable Internet Appliance · · Score: 2

    CPU? You mean hard drive, right?

  10. Ob-BOFH on Security Hole In SNMP · · Score: 2

    No, it's Exchange Server. Stupid Non-technical Manager's Proposals.

  11. Obscure is right on Immersion Sues Sony and Microsoft Over Force Feedback · · Score: 3, Funny

    For some obscure reason, this was first reported in the Irish Times today.

    I couldn't find any references to potatoes OR alcohol. Why are the Irish interested?

  12. Re:Yeah on Quantification of EQ Players · · Score: 2

    Better that than Pigman's thesis from PCU:

    "Pigman is trying to prove the Caine-Hackman theory. No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV!"

  13. Re:But how many will FotR win? on 13 Nominations to Rule Them All · · Score: 2

    Being nominated is fine and such, but the real test will be on oscar night.

    Come on, we all know the Oscars are rigged.

  14. The Razzies on 13 Nominations to Rule Them All · · Score: 2

    For those of you suffering from John Travolta withdrawal after reading that article, check out this year's Razzies Nominations list. Hungry for awards that Keanu Reeves, Tom Green AND Charlton Heston can compete for? Check it out!

  15. Re:Tangent on Is Comcast Intercepting Packets? · · Score: 2

    For the same reason MovieOS is so prevalent on the big screen, and the good guys can fire 50+ rounds from a jammed-open .45 auto: Hollywood knows fuckall about facts.

  16. Brrr... on Operating Systems of the Future · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...operating systems...and they'll collaborate with applications...

    Windows Inheritance: "Psst. You crouch behind j.user's legs and I'll give him a push."
    Clippy 5000: "OK"
    *SHOVE*-splat!
    Software: "Have a nice trip? See you next Fall! Muahaha!"

  17. In other news... on Electric Company Using Power Lines for Data · · Score: 2

Offering 10 times the speed of Cable or DSL providers, power companies expect to be THE providers of streaming Internet video within 5 years.

  18. ZAP! on Computer Hardware That Can Pull Double-Duty? · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...we take off our very wet shoes and socks and place them on one of the two hefty UPSs to dry out.

    "Excuse Calendar" *flip-flip*: Ah, yes. The UPSes seem to have suffered from electro-chemical ionisation of a dihydrogen-monoxide current pulse across the positive-negative poles. Please hold this cable in your teeth, so we can test humistatic differential levels between black and red.

  19. Re:Why... on Backing Up 100 Gigs in an Hour? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And those damn pigs keep breaking the windows in our 8th floor office.

  24. Sign over entrance: on Berlin's Robotic Pub · · Score: 2
    ACHTUNG! ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS!
    Das computermachine ist nicht fuer gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken.

    At that size, a smallish mug should fit nicely on it
