  1. I blame violent video game legislation on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 2, Funny

    What this man was lacking was a safe way to act out his aggressions on the person he was chatting with. And what do they call a chat application where you can bludgeon the other users with a blunt object? Deathmatch.

  2. Re:"Holy Grail of Console Collecting" on The Holy Grails of Console Collecting · · Score: 4, Funny

    3) Yet the CRT didst still blinketh green.

    4) And the Lord said, "Remove thy cartridge and blow into it, such that the breath of life that I have given unto thee would give new life unto thy cartridge."

    5) The people did as the Lord spoke, so that the scourge upon the console should be lifted.

    6) The Punch-Out title didst appear, and the people rejoiced with beatings upon Glass Joe and offerings of burnt Hot Pockets.

  3. Re:The question that trumps riddles on Will the Solve-the-Riddle Hiring Trend Affect IT? · · Score: 2, Funny

    No tea.

  4. Re:Use flux???! on Modded DS Adds Hard Drive For Some Reason · · Score: 1

    Except he's trying to do the opposite of what the commercially available CF to IDE adapters do.

  5. Re:Use flux???! on Modded DS Adds Hard Drive For Some Reason · · Score: 1

    Bull. A thin brush with a flux pen (No-clean for most hobbyist work) over SMT pads before tacking a part down can make the difference between bridged or cold solder joints and a good mechanical and electrical connection. Try replacing a 200+ pin TQFP with .5mm pitch pins by hand before you tell someone to go back to soldering 101.

  6. Re:MIPS is going away? on SGI Announces MIPS and IRIX End of Production · · Score: 1

    TiVo Series 2 is MIPS based. Series 1 is PPC based. Series 3 has yet to be determined.

  7. Re:MIPS is going away? on SGI Announces MIPS and IRIX End of Production · · Score: 4, Informative

    MIPS isn't going away. MIPS is very popular for embedded video processing. TiVo is MIPS (now, at least), the PSP is MIPS, and many DVD players are based on a MIPS. MIPS is still popular because the ISA isn't patented and there are a number of compatible cores out there.

  8. Re:Friendly tip from a competitor on Intel to Lay Off Thousands · · Score: 1

    [*] Here, and all through the BKDG. What do I win?

  9. Re:My prediction on Apple and Windows Will Force Linux Underground · · Score: 1

    I can't believe I wasted my precious karma on that SIGGRAPH article yesterday.

  10. Re:happy happy joy joy on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    I don't think you're happy enough. That's right, I'll teach you to be happy! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!

  11. Must be a cover on The FBI Software Upgrade That Wasn't · · Score: 1

    for budgeting something top secret. C.G.B. Spender was unavailable for comment.

  12. Re:nobody calls me robosapien on Robosapien V2 Review - with Video · · Score: 1

    No, but it's gonna take my turn and drink my beer. And I bet it has papers.

  13. One question: on Fully Internal Water-cooled Xbox 360 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why?

  14. Re:Not the best solution, but... on Data Theft and Corporate Irresponsibility? · · Score: 1

    Screw that. Just get D-FENS on their asses. He knows his rights as a consumer.

  15. Re:I'd have to *GASP* side with the industry... on Hollywood Against Jobs' Movie Pricing Plan · · Score: 1

    Funny, I can't see myself paying $0.99 for a track from an old album I could get at the used CD store for $5. Just because Apple releases a product doesn't mean you have to buy it.

  16. Re:Spindles! on Replacement for Jewel Cases? · · Score: 1

    CDs (and DVDs) have a ridge near the spindle hole that keeps stacked disks separated by about 1mm. This is why blank manufacturers can get away with bulk packaging blank disks (which are more sensitive to damage) in spindles. In fact, the industrial bulk packs for CD blanks is a stack of 100 disks, with an uncoated disk on the top and bottom, all shrinkwrapped together without a spindle.

    But yes, do be careful not to get an axial scratch on a disk.

  17. Re:A Cautionary Tale on Proposal to Implant RFID Chips in Immigrants · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone here is saying that RFID is inherently evil. Forcing people to have something permanently injected into their body that gives them no medical or other personal benefit is what's being questioned. Many people walk around with scars from vaccine injections, but at least they got something out of it.

  18. Three words: on Texas to Provide Online 'Bordercams' · · Score: 1

    Kinky for Governor. Why the hell not?

  19. Re:Calling all X10 webcam owners.... on Texas to Provide Online 'Bordercams' · · Score: 1

    Why would the Federal Reserve need cameras?

  20. Re:Perfect for IT on Drug Found to Aid Vegetative Patients · · Score: 1

    IANASA (anymore), but it seems to me that talking smack about sysadmins on /. is right up there with sending child porn to president@whitehouse.gov . Just remember, they can read your email.

  21. Re:What About ... on New Sensor Technology Looks at Molecular 'Fingerprint' · · Score: 1

    Not sure. But give me a nuclear warhead and we can find out.
