  1. At last ... on Roll-Up Monitors A Step Closer To Reality · · Score: 3, Funny

    The good ol' days of the pr0n centerfold return.

    Never thought the pages of my monitor would get mysteriously "glued" together, but once again, technology has an answer.

  2. Gartner Survey: Fire is HOT! on Gartner Survey: Consumers Don't Want Crippled CDs · · Score: 1

    Once again, Gartner comes through with another gem of revolutionary intelligence, that everyone else already knew ...

    *sigh*

  3. Goodness gracious ... on Hundreds Spot Fireballs In Colorado, Nearby States · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... great balls of fire!

    What a concept! It simply shakes my nerves and it rattles my brains.

  4. What's readable? on Blind User Sues Southwest Over Web Site, Cites ADA · · Score: 1

    What is their defninition of readable?
    Is there something wrong with:
    "less than-aich-tee-emm-ell-greater than-carriage return"?

    Ice blocks keep falling on my head
    And that prob'ly means concussion soon will make me dead ...

  6. Rare? on Microsoft Buys Rare · · Score: 1

    Well, no one's ever associated them with "well done"

  7. Re:End The Megapixel Race on 13.8MP Kodak Tops Previously Leaked Canon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reusable "digital film" will be far too long coming due to the difficulties in establishing standards and because it adds unecessary and physically troublesome steps to the digitizing process. Also, how does it make more sense to be buying new digital films each time they get cheaper/better as opposed to CCDs? Aren't they just different implementations of what will eventually be much the same thing?

    Who's to say that a roll of reusable film would be cheaper or more effective than the middle ground that is emerging? That is, developing large MP CCDs that replace the film plane on a 35mm camera. That is, attaching a CCD in place of film in a regular SLR camera. In that situation, the upgrade cost is reduced and compatibility will be maintained with the existing 35mm format.

  8. In related news ... on Fin-Fet Transistors on the Horizon · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... scientists at IBM created a working prototype static RAM chip using Jango-Fett transistors. Consuming 4 times the power, it will store information with a cold air of dread and competence.

    A secondary line of static RAM chips based on an exact genetic replica (called Boba-Fett transistors) will be developed throughout the year for mobile computing purposes. Support for the Dark Side is eminent.

  9. Re:Digital Clones Facts & Figures on Attack of the Really Big Clones · · Score: 1

    Perhaps their patent pending technology uses adjacent frames of the film to reliably interpolate reliable additional detail. I've seen this mentioned somewhere previously, unfortunately I can't remember where. (google and slashdot searches failed me :( )

    At lawyers rates, that'll last .. ummm .. 4 hours.

  11. blog schmlog on 0wnz0red · · Score: 1

    Well, I'll grant that blog is a crap name, but at least it's something unambiguous. I was under the impression that a weblog was what you got when you looked at /var/logs/httpd/access_log.

    Just me?

    I gues bjournal doesn't really scan too well.

    Nah, it's because the men that use them are usually round.

  14. Re:Foofy Software but it works on To Digitize or Not Digitize the Family Photo Album? · · Score: 1

    Try BreeezeBrowser from http://www.breezesys.com . It is designed to do the things that ZoomBrowser doesn't, and it does them well. Works with all the Canon cameras that Zoom does AFAIK.

  15. Re:Try Kapital on Personal Finance Software for Unix? · · Score: 1

    You prefer a good spreadsheet to your girlfriend?
