  1. Digg? on Fosfor Gadgets' Top 10 Weirdest Computer Case Mods · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm sick of this place.

  2. Re:Grammar Nazi on Blender 2.40 Released · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Borne" is the past tense of "bear".

    And of course, "cub" is the future tense of "bear."

  3. Re:In lay-man's terms this means... on Self-Assembling DNA Pyramids · · Score: 0

    Oh, it's an Alan Parsons Project reference, is it?

    Then (Score: -2, Offtopic)

    Why would you think that deserves positive Karma?

  4. Re:Tough Question on ACLU Joins Fight Against Internet Surveillance · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The more power we give the government to invade our lives, the more they'll use it.

    What do you mean "will use it"? Ever looked at the withholdings on your paycheck?

  5. Re:Addicted? on Hooked On The Web · · Score: 1

    Self-Control would be nice, but it's not over-the-counter yet.

  6. Re:Plates on CCTV Network Tracks Getaway Car · · Score: 1

    And wasn't it that famous Brit, James Bond, who had the car with the flip-over license plates?

  7. Re:Since it doesn't have to be science fiction on Space.com's Top 10 Space Movies of All Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is the honest truth:

    I cry every time I watch that movie when Yeager breaks the sound barrier.

    My wife doesn't understand it, but that's what happens.

  8. Re:Hilander on Geneticists Claim Aging Breakthrough · · Score: 2, Funny

  9. Re:Bill has a point. on Microsoft Competes In Supercomputer Market · · Score: 0

    Wow! You sure do have confidence in the public's interest toward your evaluation of esoteric automotive specimens to which you will never have access.

  10. Re:Sometimes it's tough on Jobs Offers Free Mac OS X For $100 Laptops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure Red Hat will stick to their principles by taking a tax write-off for every OS installed too. That's $50 per install of pure donated software value, right?

  11. Re:It's on my bookshelf next to... on Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours · · Score: 1
    Just don't assume that it's good just because it's from Sam's

    No danger of that here. I assume books are bad when I see the Sam's name on them.

  12. Missed opportunity on Hardening Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    He should have titled it, "Liagra."

  13. Re:Setec Astronomy on Quantum Computing Regulation Already? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    it requires a direct transmission of photons from Alice to Bob. You can't have a relay station in-between

    Not true: Google for "quantum repeater".

  14. Re:How do we know this is manga? on American Newspapers to Begin Carrying Manga · · Score: 1
    it seems a bit daft to make a product full of cultural references and market it exclusively to people outside that culture.

    Not really. We Americans have been so overdosed with irony and postmodernism, that it is difficult for us to come up with new absurdities and non sequiturs to appease the nation's ravenous appetite for nonsense.

    Transliterating Japanese cultural references is just the thing we need right now, but don't count on it being a lasting trend. We'll get jaded soon enough.

  15. Re:a new internet on A Monroe Doctrine for the Internet · · Score: 0

    I find your ideas intriguing, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  16. Call me in another year on 20 Years of NES · · Score: 0

    I can't wait until next year, when my NES can finally play Tapper!

  17. Re:Storage capacity on Why Have PDAs Failed In The iPod Era? · · Score: 1

    I meant the unwired, on-the-go, uses you might expect from a "portable" device. That is, the "finger input bandwidth."

    I can input someone's name and telephone number (60 bytes) in under a minute on a Palm. That's "only" about one byte per second. How long does that take on an iPod? Oh yeah, you can't do it at all, unless you count the time it takes to go home and sync with your computer.

  18. Re:Storage capacity on Why Have PDAs Failed In The iPod Era? · · Score: 1

    But what's the input bandwidth of the iPod? You can't use it for even 10% of what you can use a Palm for.

  19. Re:This could be very cool for demoing Linux apps on VMWare Inc. Releases Free Virtual Machine Runtime · · Score: 1

    It's not Mozilla, its W3. I hope that explains it.

  20. Re:I'm glad YOU think things are so great on Named Innovators/Developers of Color? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm glad to see yours wasn't.

  21. Re:CND? on CND Government Demands Widespread Tap Access · · Score: 1, Funny
    No, the real spelling is Cnd. Ask any Canadian how to spell it, and they'll tell you: "C, eh, N, eh, D, eh"

    It's just that English speakers often mistake the accent for the letter "A."

  22. Is "Mono" the new OOG? on Creating .NET C# Applications for Linux · · Score: 1

    MONO conjugate verbs for Linux.

  23. Re:Question is whether we choose to add life to Ma on Test Equipment Finds Life In Mars-like Conditions · · Score: 1
    Remind me again why people would WANT to colonize Mars?

    Mars gravity = 0.38 Earth gravity.

    ESPN2 should singlehandedly fund the effort.

  24. Re:it's all just rumor... on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 1

    You don't understand the market. They did precisely because they know fanbois will buy both.
