  1. Re:school's in! on SoBig: Worst is Yet to Come · · Score: 1

    Because the games are usually "old" by the time they're available for linux, or they just suck.

  2. Re:Third movie showing parts of 2nd on Matrix Revolutions Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    The oracle is a different actress because the original, Gloria Foster, passed away during the filming of Reloaded. You don't need to buy Enter the Matrix for that bit -- just read the news.

    It's bad juju to laugh at your own jokes.

  4. Re:"Beautiful" Bellevue, WA on More Cheap Linux PCs · · Score: 1

    Well, technically, they're both suburbs, so I'll change my statement.

    I'll take "Posh 'n Snobby" suburban hell over "Redneck" Suburban hell. At least the Snobby suburb doesn't have a perpetual smell of ass lingering everywhere.

    The word you're looking for is 'redundant'.

    "Oxymoron" suggests contradictory terms.

    I guess dictionaries aren't available out there yet.

  6. Re:"Beautiful" Bellevue, WA on More Cheap Linux PCs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Bellevue isn't suburban hell. It's generally a nice place to live.

    Renton is suburban hell. Des Moines is suburban hell. Kent (and pretty much anything near 167) is total suburban hell. I'll take the blonde soccer moms in Bellevue to the 80's haired, cameltoed proles in that shithole area south of I90.

  7. Quite Close? on More Cheap Linux PCs · · Score: 1

    Not only are Redmond and Bellevue one of the largest suburbs in the area, they also border each other. The MS campus is so close to Bellevue, you could throw an old copy of Microsoft Bob out the window and it would probably land in Bellevue city limits.

    But come on, just because MS has its headquarters here doesn't mean there can't be a unix/linux presence. Sun has one of its regional offices in downtown Bellevue. IBM is across the lake in the 206.

  10. Re:Prices are hiding data on Sun's Last Stand · · Score: 1

    Take a look at Sun's new x86 servers (the v60X and v65X). Their price point is at about on par with Dell's for comparable hardware; but we find Sun's support and customer care to be far superior than Dell.

    Their whole "low cost computing" schtick is emphasizing RAIS anyway.

  11. What they left out on Archos Releases Portable Video/Image/MP3 Player · · Score: 2, Funny

    was the piano wire and the snakebite kit.

    Jeez, you can't buy any 'gadget' today without it having a mediocre digital camera built in.

    You're what's wrong with the US. They keep producing crap like that because brainwashed choads like you and the rest of the herd are programmed into tuning into watching a room full of spoiled musicians give golf claps and hammy speeches.

    Johnny Frat Boy can probably figure out how to use the spell checker.

    No joke! I don't care what your GPA is. If you dress like a slob, can't convey an idea without without stuttering, and your written work looks like an IRC channel, i'll dump you for "johnny frat boy" in a second.
