  1. The thing that's really funny: on IBM to Buy ISS for $1.3 Billion · · Score: 1

    ISS is a network products company. They really could carry IBMs word across the Internet.

  2. Well, you know... on Unlock Internet or Risk Losing Staff? · · Score: 1

    ...there's always port 80.

  3. Not really. on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1

    But you could use it to run your Infinium Phantom Console.

  4. What some people need... on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...is a brain that will boot in the first place.

  5. He confessed about her death. on Korea's Online Aggression a Taste of the Future? · · Score: 1

    He said he was responsible. But that it was an accident, not murder.

  6. Oh, don't worry. on Photonic Breakthrough Allows 'Lab-on-a-Chip' · · Score: 1

    Either way, they'll find a way to make sure it's more expensive.

  7. Re:Pro-Gress vs Con-Gress on Tracking the Congressional Attention Span · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I would think that both "follow the money" and this type of record analysis would be the best thing. Think of it as the money as the input and the speeches as the output.

    Correlate the two and you'd really have something.

    No, not that. What I meant was who outside of Congress is trying to push buttons, and who inside Congress is helping them. Also, you'd be able to watch for what you may consider important topics to see how they are dealt with.

  8. Actually.. on An Early Look at Freespire Linux · · Score: 4, Funny
    And, when is all said and done, that's really what Freespire is all about -- making Linux as easy as possible for users.'"

    That's where they're going to get their money.

  11. Finally. on One Man's Spam Is Another Man's Art · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Someone found something useful about spam.

    I admit that it wasn't much, but it's still art that found spam useful.

  12. The thing that I've always wondered... on Sophos Reveals Latest Spam-Relaying Countries · · Score: 1

    ...is how many of the zombie systems are actually deliberatly set up by the owner. Not some accidental "gone to the wrong web site" setup, but some "I'm gonna make some bucks serving spam" and then claiming they didn't know they were infected.

  13. You probably could install it. on End of Win 98 Support May Boost Desktop Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    However, all of the things that you would have to do to get it to install (text mode, --nousb, that type of stuff) would not be something the "average" computer user would be willing to deal with.

  14. Re:those evil Wiccans on Gangs on the Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, it means that your dog has worms. Get it to a vet.

    Pluto could use a hydrant.

    These guys are good.

  20. I got a suggestion. on Not Your Daddy's IT Force Anymore · · Score: 5, Insightful
    How about "Listening to the Engineers, they may actually know what they're talking about."

    That would be a great course to offer "potental" managers.

  21. What relief! on Extortion Virus Code Cracked · · Score: 4, Funny
    BTW, the 30-digit password locking the files is mf2lro8sw03ufvnsq034jfowr18f3cszc20vmw."

  22. I think the engineers can work this out. on Space Elevator An Impossible Dream? · · Score: 1
