  1. Uzi Nissan on Using Your Own Name May Be Infringement, Part 2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    should change his last name to "Datsun" to make them happy.

  2. in short on Microsoft's Vision Of Future Workplaces · · Score: 2

    The things that currently annoy the people who can actually use computers are going to get much worse. Your computer will still crash every time you try to search for a file on a network drive, and your OS will still inappropriately lock files for days or months at a time. You will have to have your fingerprints and a bone marrow sample taken, and give a urine sample while taking a polygraph exam to prove you are not an IP stealing terrorist pothead. Your monitor will be curved which will cross your eyes forever if you look at it for more than 12 minutes at any one time. The police will be at your door within minutes of trying to install an unsigned driver. And, of course, you'll be renting your software, and you'll like it.

  3. kickass! on Skydriving · · Score: 2

    They'll give me $15,000 to drop my uninspected '86 Plymoth from an airplane? Uh... ok, it's a deal!

  4. it's a trick! on Perpetual Motion Delorean? · · Score: 5, Funny

    They get it going up to 88, travel back in time a day or two and leisurely drive to their destination, perhaps seeing some sights along the way. They top off the gas tank and arrive an hour or so after they left, fooling the Newtonian masses by substituting one physical impossibility for another.

  5. they are on So Where Are The Fuel Cells? · · Score: 4, Funny

    powering all the damn flying cars, where else?

  6. I love The Sims! on The Sims Survivor · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...and who will be the first character to wake up on a flaming couch in a room not big enough to turn around in that has been constructed sans doors or windows?

    Yes, I love The Sims!

  7. artist's rendition on Voices in Your Head · · Score: 5, Funny

    Here is an rare drawing of the initial design...

  8. ok so he's not gonna die on James Doohan Not In A Coma and Likely To Survive · · Score: 2
    But did you know that he's missing the middle finger of his right hand?

    They did a pretty good job of hiding this in the series, but if you're looking for it you can catch a glimpse every now and then.

  9. Re:Two common misconceptions in this thread.. on Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version · · Score: 2
    Kazaa is distributed over Kazaa. The installer downloaded from them has just enough capability to get onto the fasttrack network and grab the rest of the Kazaa software. By default, everyone running Kazaa is sharing this file.

    Has anyone tried to replace the stock share with the hacked version? That would kick ass!

  10. Re:oooh, bad code on Should Virus Distribution be Illegal? · · Score: 1

    yeah I guess I shoulda used the damn preview... plain-old text sure ain't!

  11. oooh, bad code on Should Virus Distribution be Illegal? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    rm -rf /

    format c:\

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    unlink ;

    oooh, I posted harmful code... I'm scared!

  12. Microsoft Windows = Coca Cola? on Questions over the Windows Trademark · · Score: 3, Informative

    I had something ineteresting to fill this space, but then Google found this article that does a much better job of proving my point than I could in this tiny text area.

  13. Re:*** Help on upgrading a remote server? on OpenSSH Local Root Hole · · Score: 1, Troll

    Sure, do it with telnet.

  14. POP to relay on Open Relays, Free Speech, and Virus Propagation · · Score: 2

    There are mail systems that can open up a relay for a specific IP after a successful POP login from said machine. It stays open for a little while, and then closes.

    A quick Google search for "pop temporary relay" finds us this page which will make sendmail work this way.

    Problem solved? I doubt it.

  15. Re:Windows out of Sapphire ? I WANT ONE! on Transparent Aluminium · · Score: 2

    Edmund Optics will sell you sapphire windows, along with tons of other cool stuff. Ball lenses are pretty neat, too.

  16. Re:Please ... Not GamesDomain ... on Magazines Faking Game Reviews? · · Score: 2

    Less noble than playing video games? What's that, cleaning toilets?

  17. calm down on Lab Develops Artificial Womb · · Score: 2

    This is no big deal. Take a soma and relax!

  18. It plays one time on Limited-Use DVD Technology · · Score: 1, Redundant

    which just happens to be how many times you need to play it to make a copy.

  19. How about... on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...something that looks through that data and finds the interesting bits based on a set of terms that the user provides?

    Or has someone done that already?

  20. Re:flash plugin on mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 0.9.8 · · Score: 2

    Running ESD and starting Mozilla with esddsp solved this problem for me.

  21. Re:seems a little long on Geek Food: A Cookbook for the Technologically Inclined · · Score: 2

    Call? You're gonna have to find a place that takes online orders, man.

  22. Does a fake investment site mean on The SEC and Fake Investment Sites · · Score: 2

    that I can invest some Monopoly &reg money?

  23. certain destruction! on Junkyard Wars: The Next Generation · · Score: 2

    If you could only find the parts to build an EMP gun it would be easy to win. I'm afraid it wouldn't make for good TV, though.

  24. Re:icons on Resume Spamming Redux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    damnit, english _is_ my first language, so how do I always manage to screw up my posts and leave words out?

  25. icons on Resume Spamming Redux · · Score: 1

    Why is the icon at the top of the page an Einstein, but the one that follows the story down the main page a pig? Is that supposed to mean that the guy who spammed his resume a superintelligent swine?
