  1. Instant messaging on New Net Battle Over ".mobile" Looming · · Score: 1

    im.mobile

  2. Re:TURBO! on Turbo Codes Promise Better Wireless Transmission · · Score: 1

    Then I suggest they be christened "reset" codes. THAT button will ALWAYS be needed, on Windows PCs anyway.

  3. What does that have to do with SCO? on SCO Consultant S2 Strategic Consulting In Depth · · Score: 1

    Vinod Valloppillil and Josh Cohen are the named authors of the Halloween II document.

  4. Re:Don't you mean... on Linux the Tortoise to Microsoft's Hare? · · Score: 1
    The Tux mascot may have a high geek coolness factor, but its a small but real impediment to acceptance of Linux by the broader business community. The logo is cartoonish and childish.

    Yeah, what we need is a fat balding guy dressed up like a big bug, such as a moth or a dragonfly or something.

  5. Re:He carries a gun? on SCO - EV1, Licensees, Groklaw, Armed Guards · · Score: 1

    *sniff*
    "Deputy McBride here, Otis. You'd best jest come along quite-like, or I'll fire a warnin' shot!"

  6. More food! on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 1

    I hope they have more footage of Denethor pigging out and slobbering all over himself. That REALLY made the movie what it is, and was well worth removing the fate of Saruman and the Shire from the story.

  7. Re:Real good on Seattle Times Reviews Desktop Linux Distros · · Score: 1
    never thought to see "good folks" and RealNetworks so close in one sentence...

    I sure he meant to say "goodfellas".

  8. Re:Audio CD's on Seattle Times Reviews Desktop Linux Distros · · Score: 5, Informative
    DELL.

    A step in a nice direction.

  9. Now that's just great on Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works · · Score: 1

    So, Smaug will smash the mountainside and seal in the dwarfs while Gandalf gnaws on chicken and slops food all over his robe, followed immediately by Bilbo arriving home to the auction.

    It really DOES feel just like Jackson's LotR!

  10. Re:Doesn't really strike a chord with me, nope. on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 1
    I have found that treating my userbase as people, and not as trained monkeys

    Exactly. The trained monkeys would have done as their training dictated, rather than the 34 things that their training specifically told them would NOT work, and that they were NOT TO DO.

  11. Re:My favorite statement came from a 'sysadmin' on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 5, Funny
    "There was no way to know that the backups were failing without looking at the log file."

    From my efforts to get FreeS/WAN talking to a Cicso VPN concentrator:

    Tech at other end: "Well, I'd have to copy and paste that section of log to send it to you."
    --Trying to explain why it was so hard to send me the bit of his log that would tell me what was fucked up on his end.--

  12. The yellow face... on Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life · · Score: 1
    The prototype responds to changes such as bright lights

    ...it burns us!

  13. Re:More interested in what MS has to say on More on Recent SCOings On · · Score: 2, Funny
    What is not massive about this fraud?

    They don't get oil wells if they smash it?

  14. Re:This calls for AMERICAN GODZILLA 2!! on Godzilla To Retire (for now) · · Score: 1
    "Minilla" (aka Baby Godzilla aka Son of Godzilla aka NOT THAT FUCKING MUPPET AGAIN)

    I thought his name was "Godzuki".

  15. Re:Way to proofread, editors! on MS Word File Reveals Changes to SCO's Plans · · Score: 1
    Clearly, those people are either stupid, or were denied their coffee fix this morning...

    Can't it be both?

  16. Re:What's the Big Deal? on Kazaa Going to Court · · Score: 1

    Mr. finny, please! Disparaging the boot is bootable offense. It's their proudest tradition!

  17. Re:Argh. on Your Future Car's Hood Will Be Welded Shut · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    the type of women who would never open the hood anyway.

    There's another type? *ducks*

  18. Re:Wow... on Courts Overturn FCC - Return of the Monopoly? · · Score: 1
    What on earth does AT&T do these days, anyway?

    Well, their business division DOES change your account rep every month or so, and moves your account from state to state just as often. However, said account rep does NOT return calls or place any actual orders.

  19. Re:And in other news... on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    You forgot The Beast!

  20. Nasalnaut? on Meet the Nasalnaut · · Score: 1

    Sounds like something you'd name your finger.

  21. Re:Does anyone know on The Nine Lives of Napster · · Score: 3, Funny
    The artists get a monthly "attaboy" form letter from the RIAA.

    Which, knowing how the RIAA works, probably says, "Your $350 monthly membership dues must be paid in full by tomorrow, or we will not forward your $9.37 royalty check this month."

  22. Re:oh goodie on Star Wars DVD Cover Art Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    Luckily, she was pierced and was wearing her "Yavin 4" nipple-ring.

  23. Re:Certain IP from SCO on EV1 Servers CEO Responds To Customers · · Score: 1
    Did SCO actually tell them what IP they are licensing?

    Yes-- 127.0.0.1

  24. Re:Saved by a second on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 4, Funny
    actually, had you set it for a second or two less, and opened the door- it would have gone off in your face.

    Show of hands: How many of you are going to run off and try this now?

  25. Easy fix. on Closing the PPTP Port Under Windows 2000? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Look at the back of the PC. You'll see a fan grill next to a thick black or gray cable with a large plug. Remove said cable, and the port is secured.
