  1. Nasty side effect ... on Paycheck-Style Memory Erasure: How Close Are We? · · Score: 1

    One obvious nasty side effect to this procedure as demonstrated in Paycheck is that it makes Seattle look identical to Vancouver, BC to the patient.

  2. Waitasec. on The Last Place · · Score: 3, Funny

    Bhutan's top 10 cable channels.

    They mean to tell me that they get HBO in friggin' Bhutan? I can't even get it in Canada!

  3. oops on Linux -- Without Unix · · Score: 1

    "The first server running FullPliant can be accessed at: [this site]."

    It's also the first server running FullPliant to be Slashdotted. :^)

  4. At last... on Next, The Copier Will Reproduce Popsicles · · Score: 2

    ... we won't have to settle for grainy two-dimensional reproductions of our asses. Nope - we'll have our asses in glorious 3D.

    Well, it might make a nice conversation piece...

  5. Re:Poll Topic? on Jupiter-Sized Planet Orbits Epsilon Eridani · · Score: 1

    How about sector 001?

    :^)

  6. hmm on Classic Browsers Given New Life · · Score: 3

    Y'know, DJ Delorie (http://www.delorie.com) has a bunch of stuff like this thing.

    Here's the Lynx viewer.
    The Purifier
    and the Compatibility Viewer.

  7. As a BC'er I must comment ... on Soldier Of Fortune: Must Be 18 To Play · · Score: 1

    ... that usually the 'censors' are very lenient. For example, the "South Park" movie at the local video store has a '14A' sticker (equivalent to PG-13). Another example - "Scary Movie" is '14A' as well.

    So something must have really pissed them off.

  8. Um... on Just Say No To Reading About Drugs · · Score: 2

    What about sites that link to sites that link to information about the manufacture of drugs?

    And another thing... I'm Canadian, but I use a U.S. ISP (@Home). If I link to, say, a site in the Netherlands about this stuff on my webspace (residing on their servers), am I going to get my account terminated? :^P

  9. This is a good thing. on Yahoo Will Use Google Instead Of Inktomi · · Score: 1

    Google has always been the most reliable search engine (in my experience, that is, and by "reliable" I mean most accurate results for what I asked for) and it's too bad that a bunch of people just use the crap MSN search built into MSIE. Maybe Google getting some advertising on a large portal site will help people get away from this once they find out that typing in 'Britney' into a search box won't get them 1.0 x 10^30 links to the same porn site. Ah well.

  10. Um on Data Haven To Open For Business - Today · · Score: 1

    Did anybody else think of Wyndham's "The Chrysalids" when they read this?

  11. Very true. on GPL Violation - NVIDIA · · Score: 2

    Don't jump on the poor company just because they made a boo-boo. People have been doing one way of business for a long time (closed-source) and they're just beginning to start joining our way of thinking. That does, IMHO, give them a bit of room to screw up.
