  1. Wow! on Projected 'Average' Longhorn System Is A Whopper · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now IE will run as fast as its linux-based counterparts!
    *ducks*

  2. OMGOMGOMG! on Sprint Routers Stolen; NYC Internet Outage Ensues · · Score: 4, Funny

    Some dude just sold me some DS3 cardz for like $30 bucks a piece! But they wont fit in my computer PCI slot! Plus I cant find where my phone jack plugs into it!!@!!!!!@# Someone help me! Man, im gonna be able to download so much more stuff than my dialup connection!
    Thanks!~~~

  3. I hope this doesnt go the way.. on Google Files for IPO · · Score: 1

    That VALinux did when they had their IPO.
    $300+/share then promply drizzled down to $2 many years later. Of course they could also be like cisco and shoot way up... Hard to say.

  4. Nat? on RIAA Files 477 New Filesharing Lawsuits · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What if the dorm was behind NAT? Is the RIAA going to file 10 lawsuits against one or two public ip address?
    Of course there is always the possiblity for a person to hard-code a dorm IP address in rather than rely on one given by DHCP (at least when I was in college the entire dorm was on one class C).. Not to mention that more dorm rooms have > 1 person in them.
    Sounds like a big headache for the university..

  5. Im curious as to.. on New Online Ad Technology To Bypass Popup Blockers · · Score: 1

    If you visit a webpage with numerous popups/popunders, will this software "stack" all of the popups on top of each other, thereby creating image chaos? Or will it just rotate the images?

  6. Re:Future "Pressing" Patents on Microsoft Patents Timed Button Presses · · Score: 1



    Shirts pressed by Iron
    Im sorry sir, but that falls under the above patent in my comment "click and drag". Please make your checks payable to me.
    Thank you. :)

  7. Next patent we'll see.. on Microsoft Patents Timed Button Presses · · Score: 1

    Is for the (in)famous "click and drag"..

  8. The science of bullcrapology... on New Science Museum - Now With Real Science! · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Featuring SCO and Darl! Now with REAL reports and REAL data!
    *sorry, had to get my daily SCO fix, im a bad person :( but you know you're all laughing inside.

  9. Being someone who has converted a whole office.. on OpenOffice.org, MS Office 2003 Compared, Evaluated · · Score: 5, Informative

    The only real pain in the ass is the inital conversion.. So you go through hell for a week, maybe 2 depending on how well OO converts the existing documents.
    After that, its all gravy.. No need to worry about the MS licensing fees, support, license goon squads. Everyone uses OO's native format, and everything else thats not in-office (docs, etc) get exported to PDF's..
    The only complaint ive heard is from the tard^H^H^H^Hpeople who spent money to get that "Microsoft Office Expert Guru thingym" license..
    Of course we dont do anything really fancy with MS Office/OO either, just your plain office spreadsheets.. So your milage will vary..

  10. Lets see.. on OpenOffice.org, MS Office 2003 Compared, Evaluated · · Score: 1, Informative

    Free vs Not-Free..
    Can read MS docs + others vs Can only read MS docs.
    I believe OO wins hands down. At least it doesnt have clippy (only that non-annoying lightbulb thingum).

  11. Bah on D&D Is 30 · · Score: 1, Funny

    I bailed out of D&D when they made all of my 2nd edition books obsolete with v3.0.. Then turned right around and screwed me again by making v3.5..
    Though you know you're a geek when you watch 'kill bill' and say "that sword must be at a vorpal sword +2" and people laugh.
    *sigh*

  12. Re:Possible applications on Gaim Forks To Get Voice And Video Support · · Score: 0

    gaim uses nano-springs? Wow, and I thought it was just coded badly.

    *ducks*

  13. So its like on Clones Are Overwhelming TiVo · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Making a Photocopy vs Making a Xerox copy, same difference..

  14. All right! on Lip Sync Problems with New Digital Displays? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now the lips in my old gozilla movies will be in sync! Deaf people everywhere are rejoycing!

  15. Whoopie! on VIA Announces Lead-Free Motherboard · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now I can let my toddler chew on motherboards without worrying about that pesky lead!
    Thanks VIA!

  16. What I dont want to hear in my stream rips.. on Shifting From P2P To Stream Ripping · · Score: 4, Funny

    .......(buffering)......(buffering).......

  17. Super glue? on This Robot Collects Fingerprints · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cue jokes about Johnny-5 super-gluing himself to random objects.

  18. Re:I wonder if they filter out... on World's First 1GB Web Mail May Not Be From Google · · Score: 1

    True, but if all of your couriers have email accounts at the same email service, mass distributing a gig of "stuff" to a few dozen people would take no time at all.. Not that I would know about any of that stuff.. :)

  19. I wonder if they filter out... on World's First 1GB Web Mail May Not Be From Google · · Score: 5, Funny

    attachments that end in .rar or .r[0-9][0-9] :) I swear, I was only "checking my email".

  20. White collar, not slave labor on IT Workers Not Eligible for Overtime in New Rules · · Score: 1

    As a "white collar worker" (Pharmacist), I think its a really really bad idea..
    We're already overworked, and now they want us to work overtime without pay? Writing some sloppy code after working an 8 hour day is bad, but making a mistake and killing someone is far worse...
    Now the excessive hourly rate of overtime wont be a factor in deciding if im to work 10-12 hour days or not... Time to move to russia! :)

  21. Obvously the server got hit with one of these.. on HDD Assault Cannon · · Score: 4, Funny

    Slashdotted already.. Probably had one of those 2 gig drives in it, and filled it full of apache logs.

  22. As long as it doesnt b0rk my boxen.. on Linus Torvalds: Backporting Is A Good Thing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Then more power to them. My fear is always that development/new stuff backported to a "stable" kernel is going to cause system unstability and weird stuff.

    Having a list of what exactly is backported would be optimal, that way when device X b0rks after 3 months of uptime, you know its possibly related to the newest version of that rock "stable" kernel you put into production.

  23. For the price of a roll of duct tape... on Montreal Parking Meters Run Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    You and your friends can park for free!*
