  1. Re:Fosters...NOT Australian for Beer on 120 Gigabit Pipe To Oz Begins Operation · · Score: 1

    Canada has a beer called Molson EXPORT.

  2. Re:WTF on 120 Gigabit Pipe To Oz Begins Operation · · Score: 1

    Post 50 I moderated as Flamebait and it got marked as Troll

    No moderation totals available

    Am I going insane or is my mouse sick?

  3. WTF on 120 Gigabit Pipe To Oz Begins Operation · · Score: 2

    I Moderated this as Informative and it got marked as Funny.

    Moderation Totals:Interesting=1, Funny=1, Total=2.

    I don't get the joke.

  4. Re:Hooray for our side on 101 Giant Galaxy Clusters Discovered · · Score: 4

    I am a committed carnivore. I prefer to eat committed vegetarians.

  5. The end of an OS on The Last Multics System Decommissioned · · Score: 3

    Multics was ahead of it's time. Now It's at the end of it's time. I hope that before I reach the end of my time, I read an article about the last Windows system reaching it's final blue screen.

  6. Re:Deja Vu on Custom Handheld Atari 2600 · · Score: 1

    Deja Vu for Nerds. Stuff that re-matters.

  7. In a somewhat related article on Can the BSA Investigate Your office for Piracy? · · Score: 1

    The Register reports that the BSA will be detecting pirate software with Imaginary Hardware. I imagine that they could cover more ground using black helicopters instead of vans.

  8. Wow on Compaq Holds Off On Crusoe · · Score: 2

    It looks like the Crusoe processor is really going to take off and fly. Like an Iridium satalite.

  9. Re:A preemptive disclaimer... on Canadians vs. "Hateful" Website · · Score: 2

    Moderate Up

  10. Hateful Canadians on Canadians vs. "Hateful" Website · · Score: 1

  11. hmmm on Gartner Group Squints At Future OS Growth · · Score: 4

    According to the article BSD will cease to exist. Or at least remain completely unnoticed by journalists.

  12. Re:Would it have been so hard? on CNET Says CueCat Restrictions Are Bogus · · Score: 2

    They only mentioned /. to draw page hits. Their servers can take it. Also: perhaps by your argument they should have included a barcode so those with :Colon:Cats could find /. without using their mouse and keyboard.

  13. I don't understand their business model. on CNET Says CueCat Restrictions Are Bogus · · Score: 2

    How would it benefit anyone to scan the barcode of the can of Coke that they are drinking to see a Coke advertisement. If I'm drinking a Coke I don't need to be advertised to. I don't do inferior drugs like Pepsi and I can't easily obtaint the good drugs like Jolt.

    Preaching to the choir is not a very effective way to spend advertising dollars

    Then there is the feature that allows you to scan a barcode on a website and go to a link. Can someone explain to me why I would take my hand off the mouse, then pick up the cat, then swipe the monitor. I could more easily have left my hand on the mouse and clicked on a link. They must be targeting the Ultra newbie.

    For the record my entire argument is all based on hearsay evidence because I don't have a Colon:Cat and I haven't had someone run out of a Raidio Shack in Canada to give me one with a license agreement to laugh at.

    I do have to admit, however, the ability to scan a bottle of water to find out which Ontario nuclear plant it was bottled downstream from would be an asset.

  14. Re:Makes sense. on Crusoe and Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I would only trust benchmarks wcreated by an unbiased third party. Would you believe MS Benchmark 2000 when it showed Win2K was faster than everything else.

  15. Re:Arctic Rescue on Freeze Recovery Drug - Step Toward Suspended Animation? · · Score: 1

    A syringe of EDTA plus a barrel of an 18 yr old single malt Scotch.

    Please excuse me while I lie down in the snow.

    (By the way I think the traditional beverage for Saint Barrels is brandy)

    I should definitely get around to getting my SB a barrel

  16. Re:There goes telnet and minicom on Cybercrime Treaty Fight Begins · · Score: 1

    Q: What would happen if we can store all the information of internet in a sugar cube, in 2010?

    A: You would have to get a second cube to install Windows 2010.

  18. Hello, World program on 20 Ways The World Could End · · Score: 1

    Some h4x0r causes all cell phones to ring at once

    With the resulting Hello the entire population is nuked like pizza slices.
