  1. ObMontyBurns on Joel Rants About Resumes · · Score: 1
    "yes I'm ready to be your grovelling yes-man!".

    I haven't been this impressed since I first laid eyes on a young bootlick named Wayland Smithers.

  2. Re:Imperial measurements rock... on Another English/Metric "Spacecraft" Problem · · Score: 1
    1 Gallon = 1 pint

    Not where I live, it doesn't. 1 gallon = 8 pints (4 quarts) here in the US.

    Stop pressuring me!

    C'mon, man! Everyone's doing it!

  5. Branch it out on Ultimate Automotive Computer Installation · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, this will benefit more than just cars. Strides in automotive technology have improved many other aspects of our lives.

    working in a local mom in pop type store

    Mmmm, kinky. Usually it's pop that puts it in mom, not the other way around.

  7. Re:How much was operating revenue? on MandrakeSoft Roundup · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Let's see $60 per year is $180 over three years. I typically change OS'es around every three years. Currently retail for Windows XP is $299 (full edition), although I'm sure you could get it cheaper if you tried. That's only $40 per year more than you pay for Mandrake - hardly exorbitant.

    Apples to oranges. For $60/year with Mandrake you get tho OS, the world's dominant webserver with no concurrent connection limits, multiple RDBMSes, multiple WYSIWYG "office suites", ftp server, ntp server, DNS server, DHCP server, SMB file server with no limit on concurrent connections, WINS server, LDAP server, stateful firewalling capabilities, SMTP server, SSH server, C/C++, Fortran 77, Objective C, Java and Ada 95 developement tools, PHP, Perl and Python for scriping.

    Windows XP "full edition" (Professional?) provides all that, plus no restrictions on the number of computers it can be installed on, or the number of CPUs in said computers, and high-speed .torrents for only $40 more per year than Mandrake?

  8. Re:Let's hope its just software on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 1
    But Spirit was only transmitting "pseudo-noise", a random series of zeroes and ones in binary code and not anything the scientists could decipher. - BBC News

    Sources close to NASA have stated that the first translation was "Quaid, start the reactor", but was discounted as it seemed to make no sense.

  9. Re:SCO is so LOUD on One Company's Response to SCO · · Score: 1
    Why is the SCO letter full of capitals, bold, and underlines?

    In other news, Bill Shatner has joined the crack legal squad representing SCO.

  10. Re:I hate this... on 'Just Sleep On It' Solves Tricky Problems? · · Score: 1
    the name of some obscure (.jar) file that has a utility for the previous day's problem

    Well, if the file is jar.jar, it's probably at the root of yesterday's problems.

  11. Re:yeah right on SCO Files Suit Against Novell Over System V Ownership · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes, actually, they do. They can't have it appear that another company is able to supply "false and misleading representations that it owns UNIX". SCO needs maintain the public perception that they are the only company that can provide false and misleading representations that it owns UNIX.

  12. Faxes from the Hellmouth on Forbes Sympathizes with Poor, Abused Fax.com · · Score: 2, Funny
    Fax.com founder Kevin Katz claimed that "all the lawsuits" are responsible for driving away most of Fax.com's business.

    Perhaps Kevin should get John to write a simpering, knee-jerk monologue about how the athletic lawyers are oppressing the junk-faxers because they are "different".

  13. Re:Taking bets now on News from Mars · · Score: 3, Funny

    All they did was paint the Moon set from the '60s red, and are taking pictures as we speak.

    What about journals published without the benefit of a referee, or even an umpire?

  17. Slow News Day? on Live Action Neon Genesis Evangelion Concept Art · · Score: 1

    First we have a dork ricing out his car with R2-D2 and "X-Wing Laser Cannons", now we have anime about Dodge's entry into the rice-burner ranks.
