  1. Re:As They Should on Department of Defense Now Blocking HTML Email · · Score: 1

    Amen brother.

  2. If this is the "The Ultimate Answer" on Inkscape 0.42: The Ultimate Answer · · Score: 3, Funny

    What was the question?

  3. With Berman involved.... on Star Trek XI In Two To Three Years. · · Score: -1, Troll

    With Berman involved it will still suck.

  4. Unimpressed on Stallman Unimpressed by Nokia Patent Pledge · · Score: 1

    I'm unimpressed that RMS is unimpressed.

  5. Maybe it's because it doesn't suit their needs. on Midsize Businesses Not Considering Linux? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ever try to get a non-postscript printer to work on Linux? Some work but many are nearly impossible to get working. What good is a free OS if you have to go out and buy a bunch of new printers. There are other issues but this is bigger than you think. Many offices still run on paper and if you cannot print then no matter how superior it may be in other ways, it is useless to them. I dislike Windows but nearly any old printer can be used effectively and until this problem is solved, Linux will have trouble penetrating that market.

  6. Some of us are looking forward to it. on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Yes, global warming is the result of human activity. In fact it is all America's fault. It is part of a clever plan to renovate the costal regions of the world. No thanks necessary, we're glad to do it.

  7. Ah yes. I felt the force. There's something in on Kyoto Protocol Comes Into Force · · Score: 1

    the air. A new .... no wait, never mind, somebody just farted.

    Because he, Rubin, is the team leader. The author list is in alphabetical order. RTFA

  9. debrief them? on Google To Release AdWords API · · Score: 1
    Apparently, the company secretly brought 1,800 marketing and sales people to San Francisco last week to debrief them on the initiative.

    You mean brief them don't you. Debriefing is more like an interrogation or an extraction of information which we all know it is impossible to get any usefull data from a marketeer.
  10. What's the difference between a lawyer and on Pair Arrested After Telling Lawyer Jokes · · Score: 1


    What is the difference between a lawyer and a catfish.


    One is a scum sucking bottom feeder and the other is a fish.

  11. The project has the enthusiastic backing of Sens. on Smart Guns are Coming · · Score: 1

    The project has the enthusiastic backing of Sens. Frank R. Lautenberg and Jon S. Corzine.
    Of course they are enthusiastic, both have records of wanting to disarm everybody but the police and military. Not living in Jersy I guess I'll still be able to buy more 1911s.

  12. What is N-gage? on N-Gage No Longer Relevant · · Score: 1

    I assume it is some game platform but I'm not sure. Having not remembered ever hearing about it, I can say with certainty that I won't be missing it when it disappears.

  13. Can't be long for the Ebonics version. on OpenOffice.org In Swahili · · Score: 1

    And then the Gulla and Pig Latin versions too. Oh boy!

    Because ingnorance is bliss.

  15. Maybe SCO should get Dan Rathers help. on Randall Davis: IBM Has No SCO Code · · Score: 4, Funny

    Dan and CBS is very good at finding documents even when they don't exist so they ought to be able to find code that was "stolen" from SCO.

  16. Re:long time coming on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    Yep, if you added a keyboard, stand, ports, larger hard drive, better graphics, better sound, DVD burner and lost the touch screen and the batteries, the table would be just like the new iMac.

  17. Is it me or does that odd rock look like .... on Mars Rovers Find More Evidence of Water · · Score: 1

    a fossilize cow pie?

  18. Re:Not Difficult At All on Unlocking The Power Of the Magstripe · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I work with this stuff all the time. Mag stripes typically have up to 3 tracks of information encoded. Usually all the data is in tracks one and two and of the many millions of cards the company has encode and shipped, none have used track three. The hardest part about decoding data is writing the regular expression to parse in to 3 lines. Now what you do with the data is whole nother thing.

  19. Re:gravy train? on Why Wall Street Wants Google to Fail · · Score: 1


    Yes but it is a really good trick.
  20. Re:Sadly, yes... on Does Your Employer Own Your Thoughts? · · Score: 5, Funny
    In some ways, corporate America really treats employees like slave.


    Maybe you should tell your boss how you are enslaved working there and perhaps you will be freed.

    Could it be true? Shirley you jest. Yes, I called you Shirley.

  23. Good! on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 1

    They'll need a new cash cow after the OS and Office products are no longer profitable. It may take a while though.

  24. Re:It's called a "wife" on Best To-Do List Software? · · Score: 1

    That's not a todo list, it's a honeydo list.

  25. What! No TCL! on The History of Programming Languages · · Score: 1
