  1. Re:Maybe Gates or Allen can win it on 1st Heinlein Prize Awarded · · Score: 1

    If I was Gates, I'd spearhead space development, as long as they named an actual space colony or inter-planetary ship after me. The William H. Gates III colony has a nice ring to it.

  2. Time for Federal Email address? on Internet Giving Homeless a Home · · Score: 1

    What if the US Government gave everyone an official email address for life? They wouldn't have to run an actuall email service but let everyone set up that address to point to their current address. I used to have a Bigfoot email addy like that.

    Thanks, I'll try not to loose site of my humility.

    Sight, not site. Unless you keep your humidity stored offsite.

  7. Re:Why Jobs should take the helm at Microsoft on Why Ballmer Should Leave Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing. Microsoft could by Job's company, set him up as interem CEO and the next thing you know, you got white opaque windows and lemon grass mouse pads everywhere.

  8. Re:Word on Why Ballmer Should Leave Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should hire the CEO from Pepsi. Does he want to sell sugar water all his life?

    How about people coming under the ribbon? Will there be a reduction?

  10. Re:Why? on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 1

    Most Mac users don't care as the desktop has never been open, just the underlying system. And if you want a system to play with, why not run NetBSD dual boot?

  11. Will the Mac version ship concurently or after? on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    Also, will it require OS9?

  12. Re:Vulva driving fans on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    If it's the cool 1958 Volvo, that had the ad of it tearing through a twisty dirt road canyon, yeah, that'd be cool!

  13. Re:My personal observations on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    Didn't you see the movie with the two cowboys (no, not that one, the one from several years ago), where they went to New York to rescue someone from a sweat shop?

    Hell, they didn't even do what Lenin was talking about.

  15. Vulva driving fans on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    ...Apple can expect a similar grilling from its upscale Volvo-driving fans in the months ahead.

    I resent that. I drive a '70 Impala that gets 9 MPG and vote conservative (not neccisarily Republican, any more). Ah hate stero typing!

    Heh. Had a boss that liked it when we found a nice piece of porn and forwarded it to him.

    But can you get it to run on bio-diesel made from resturant grease. Willie would be proud!

    I liked hacking Carmageddon and getting the police tank. Did you know you can drive that thing right up a building and launch it halfway across the city? Cool!

  21. Re:No not really. on Dvorak on Our Modern World · · Score: 1

    You mean like a social worker in Minnisota, going to check on a Hmong (sp?) family, that had been recently relocated from Cambodia? There had a nice little cook fire going in the oven. Hey, it didn't get ashes all over the house!

  22. Re:Also... on Dvorak on Our Modern World · · Score: 1

    And it doesn't do video calls like Dick Tracy's watch/phone did back then. Meh.

  23. Re:The "hilarious" is what he missed. on Dvorak on Our Modern World · · Score: 1

    Back in the 80's, took my Dad several months to adjust to using a mouse. He kept picking it up and moving it towards the screen.
