  1. Re:Porcelain engine running on water on Japanese Inventor's Motor Uses 80% Less Power · · Score: 1

    No, it would be the end of Mid-East wars involving non-Mid-East nations.

  2. Re:Question on GNOME for Grandma · · Score: 1

    Yes, but with FC1 everything is optional! Including the GUI if you wish.

  3. Re:Dude on Projectionists Using Night Vision Goggles in Theaters · · Score: 1

    Actually no. A rather conservative U. with a large number or boys and gals in ROTC and the Air Force equivilant of.

  4. Dude on Projectionists Using Night Vision Goggles in Theaters · · Score: 1
    as rare as students lighting up a joint after their exams

    You haven't been to my dorm room!

  5. Re:Hey Fox, Let me program Sundays for you on Futurama: Can it be True!? · · Score: 1

    No if only they would start producing Simpson's episodes that weren't wall to wall self-referring humor, we'd be on to something!

  6. Re:One of those glove thingies from Minority Repor on Suggestions for an Ergonomic Mouse? · · Score: 1

    i've been tempted to buy one to give me more one hand capabilities.Insert masturbation joke here.

  7. Re:Apple protects fair-use on Monday Releases Cause Crashes · · Score: 1

    They have CD players that can hold hundred's of CD's.

  8. Re:Apple protects fair-use on Monday Releases Cause Crashes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Swapping CD's is a pain.
    Eject, remove, insert, play. Have we gotten this lazy? Most music players have an eject button in the GUI and Mac's have one on the keyboard.

  9. Bias on Sony - PS2 Until 2010, First PSP Game Demo? · · Score: 1
    Sony is planning to milk PS2 sales until 2010

    In your face non-biased journalism!

  10. Re:SVG & Steganogrpahy? on SVG And The Free Desktop(s) · · Score: 1

    Sure, that's been happening for years.

  11. Re:What the? on AAC Chosen For DVD-ROM Section Of DVD Audio Discs · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Sorry for posting a link that points to something useless! Here's a link to a forum that discusses this very topic, better than I could hope to.

  12. Re:What the? on AAC Chosen For DVD-ROM Section Of DVD Audio Discs · · Score: 1
    DVD-Audio has already been released. I haven't seen any way to rip it, have you?

    How's this? http://www.dvdtox.com/dvdaudioripper.htm

  13. Re:What the? on AAC Chosen For DVD-ROM Section Of DVD Audio Discs · · Score: 1, Insightful
    I have a horrible feeling that you won't be able to rip dvd-audio.

    Everything is ripable/copyable/crackable. All it takes is time. I give it one week after release.

  14. Re:Impressions of Haskell on Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia · · Score: 1
    Here's my impression of Haskell:

    That's a lovely dress you're wearing today Mrs. Cleaver.

  15. Re:Cool technology for the future on OED Science Fiction Database Updated · · Score: 1
    something like 10% of Shakespeare is completely lost in translation

    Yeah, those English to English translations will always have problems.

  16. Re:Key on Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    My cheap HP Photosmart mounts itself on most distros as well. But I don't want to explain to my mom "go to /mnt/sda/camera/whatever" when she's used to seeing it right under "My Computer" on Windows XP.

    As bad as this may sound, we may need to aim for the lowest common denomenator when it comes to GUI design.

  17. Key on Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I don't think the key to Linux will be a games based distro. The key will be my mom being able to plug in her digital camera and having all the picutres show up in a window. We can still have the command-line, but the GUI has to 'just work' with everything else on the system like Mac OS and Windows XP's mostly do.

  18. Wow! on Swarm of Cicadas Takes Aim at U.S. · · Score: 5, Funny
    Reminded me of a biblical plague. Wow! You must be old!

  19. Re:screens? on Achaea Switches To Anarchaea After HD Crash · · Score: 3, Funny
    Screenshots for a text-based MUD? I could type something up in notepad.....

  20. Re:At least... on Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD · · Score: 1
    You realize you're allowed to rent movies right? You do realize that?

  21. New question on XFree86 4.4: List of Rejecting Distributors Grows · · Score: 0
    What's new in Xfree86 4.4 (aside from stability improvements) that would make anyone want to switch anyways?

  22. Re:you know it will be a musical on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 0
    the worst episodes in simpsons history have been ones with songs

    I'm not sure of the episode name, the one where Bart works at the bordello (you mean the brothel?) had a song in it, and that was one of the better episodes!

  23. Good question on Where Can I Study Computer Forensics? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Good question. I hope this gets some interesting responses.

  24. Re:Bruce Sterling link on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    I don't think I was being lazy. If someone supplies a link to an article, then the article should appear at that link, not an approximation of the article.

  25. Re:Bruce Sterling link on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    Actually I was refering to the final link in the author's article.
