  1. I'll do it!! on Wireless Power Now A Reality · · Score: 1

    But you have to act out a skit from monty python first and send me the videotape.

  2. Mine is too on How To Speed Up Linux Booting · · Score: 1

    But I had to wait too long for the damn thing to boot, so I missed the opportunity. I wish there was information somewhere that could help me speed that process up.

  3. The problem with (s)he on Apple TV Already Being Hacked · · Score: 4, Funny
    It's a good start, but that pronoun clearly discriminates against animals and inanimate objects that one would normally refer to as "it." Thus, for true political correctness, a better gender- and species-neutral pronoun to use is the following:

    (s)h(it).

  4. oh come on on David Pogue Reviews the Apple TV · · Score: 1

    The last time Apple offered this sort of thing it did wonderfully! I still have some great notes about it in my eMate... I don't watch the MacTV too often anymore though because I'm too busy playing games on my Pippin!

  5. oh yeah? on RIAA Wins Worst Company In America 2007 · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Absolute fud - Google does the same... on Microsoft "SiteFinder" Quietly Raking It In · · Score: 1

    I mean, if a search engine helps you fidn what your looking for, it's doing its job.
    I tried to look up the word "fidn" in the dictionary to understand what you were talking about, but my dictionary didn't have anything other than ads for California's Fashion Institute.
  8. Malarkey! on Konami Slot Machines Flashing Subliminal Messages? · · Score: 1

    Ontario is a town in southern California. Quit pulling our legs. Next you'll try to convince us that your prime minister's name isn't Jean Poutine.

  9. Re:But... on MySpace Not Guilty in Child Assault Case · · Score: 1

  12. Re:As a person who hates DRM on Music Execs Think DRM Slows the Marketplace · · Score: 1

    A lot of people have absolutely no morals and will do what costs them the least. MI will lose some money on them.
    But those people run the MI!
  13. But... on MySpace Not Guilty in Child Assault Case · · Score: 1

    80% of those executed have been executed for murders involving white victims. Focusing only on racial disparities in who commits crimes is leaving out an important part of the story.

  14. You miss the point on YouTube Hands Over User Info To Fox · · Score: 1

    This was over the Fox show "24." The problem is not that Google complied with the court order, but that Jack Bauer is now going to kidnap the user for interrogation. Google is now complicit in torture!!

  15. you got it all wrong on Dell Laptop Burns House Down · · Score: 1

    The poster is actually Michael Jackson, and he's complaining about how someone downloading an mp3 of "Beat It" put the entire Jackson family in dire poverty.

  16. Re:unsecured WiFi on RIAA Victim Wins Attorney's Fees · · Score: 1

    because the rest of us don't have the power to declare, "those aren't lies; those are simply improvements on the current standards of truth."

  17. Re:More root servers? on DNS Root Servers Attacked · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...where you would have learned that the first successful attack on the DNS root servers was during the Eisenhower Administration.

  18. Re:It ok'd the WARRANTLESS use of GPS on Court Rules GPS Tracking Legal For Law Officers · · Score: 1

    By the time you catch the criminal under your preferred scenario, your constitutional rights are long gone.

  24. uh, no. on Gates Proclaims Internet to Revolutionize TV in 5 Years · · Score: 1

    I'm 40 and I don't remember this, other than people talking about it years later on the internet. It may be true he said it; if it is I'm sure someone can dig up a quote. Here are two quotes where he specifically responds to this and claims he never said it. I wouldn't be surprised if he had said it - as he says in one of the quotes, 640k was a lot of memory in 1981 - but he claims he has never said it and I have never seen an actual citation.

  25. what the heck is "coffee cake" anyway? on Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods · · Score: 2, Funny
