  1. numb3rs huh? on Mathematicians Become Hollywood Consultants · · Score: 3, Funny

    Their first client: the CBS drama Numb3rs.

    maybe they should get a spelling consultant too?

  2. Re:Why? on Firefox and Thunderbird Garage · · Score: 1

    Ummm.... then why do they need a web browser??? ;)

    You've never seen the sheer size or quantity of the spiders on my backporch or in my '67 Thunderbird.
    If this so-called 'web browser' you speak of would help me navigate a path through all those webs than this could be the book for me!

  3. Re:Too many words! on Firefox and Thunderbird Garage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Blarg. I can't bring myself to read so much, on days like this.

    this is actually the one reason I could see for having a book about a web browser when all the info is available online - reading off a screen is not as comfortable and portable as reading out of a book, and sometimes paper makes the best bookmark.

    This is for people without the internet you insensitive clod!

  5. Re:How about... on Bezos Patents Information Exchange · · Score: 1

    3. PROFIT!

  6. Abstract indeed. on Bezos Patents Information Exchange · · Score: 2, Interesting

    or like del.icio.us or any other tag based link manager.

    "I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."

  8. I'll take that bet.. on Lenovo Completes Acquisition Of IBM's PC Division · · Score: 1

    I bet we see machines with the lenovo name before we see them with the lonovo name..

  9. Safest Vehicle ever on Cars that Can't Crash? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Its the safest vehicle ever.

    unfortunately due to a restrictive EULA you will not be permitted to sell it once you've used it, and you can be arrested for opening the hood.

  10. Clearly! on Cars that Can't Crash? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Because computers never crash!, 'specially ones running Microsoft products huh?

  11. Eh? on New Awards To Compete With Nobel Prizes · · Score: 2, Funny

    WOW! they must have really slow connections. maybe they should upgrade the 300 baud modem while they're at it.

  13. Re:Hey, Subscribers! on Annual Fee For Your Comment? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would have responded sooner, but I'm busy enjoying all this free beer.

    Dear sirs,

    I am writing to express my outrage at the way your freedoms impose unfair limitations on my freedom to limit your freedoms.

    Also it looks like you might be having more fun than me. You will be hearing from my lawyers!

  16. good news! on AMD 'Venice' Core Shows Big Drop in Power Needs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Excellent!

    This is quite a welcome change from the days of the old AMD chips that would tan you as you worked.
    Looks like its time for Intel to spend a bit more time looking at power consumption.

    hooray for competition!

  17. uh-huh. on Adelaide Gets a Taste of Free WiFi · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The first one's free, when you want some more you know where to come.

    Sounds like a pretty sensible promotion.

    Who said crack dealers have nothing to teach service providers?

  18. Re:OOooo on When Lofar Meets Stella · · Score: 3, Funny

    sent to a computing facility at a rate of 22 terabits/second today, and almost 50 terabits/second in 2010y

    Are you sure its not space opera?

    "Do not run, we are friends"

  21. Theres only one reasonable explanation.. on BBC to Provide Extensive RSS · · Score: 2, Funny

    But why would they want to do that? Considering AFP's suit against Google and all, it seems rather strange they would allow other websites to have BBC's news on their pages.

    ..Its a trap.

    sure they say its ok now, but just when you feel safe publishing their stories that claim will have mysteriously dissapeared from their site..

    thats when the lawsuits start.

  22. Re:At last... on Spitzer Sues Intermix Media for Bundling Spyware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Excellent!

    lets set him upon the spammers!

    I'd vote for him several times.

    ..Would that be an operating system whose tops are made out of rubber and whose bottoms are made out of springs?

    "Its not so much a crash.. its more of a bounce, it'll be back up soon."

  24. Re:pre-emptive lawsuit on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is there some sort of competition going on for the much coveted title of litigious bastards?

    Isn't this like painting a house with tomato paste?

    you could do it, but why?
