  1. The durian lobby is en route to JSC as we speak... on Kimchi in Space · · Score: 1

    The space program has started down a slippery - and stinky - slope.

  2. I regularly foist this book on my students... on Programmers At Work, 22 Years Later · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ... they just as regularly roll their eyes when they see the gian head of Bill Gates.

    Then they just as regularly come back and thank me.

    Good to see a recap that these people made a difference and are (mostly) still doing so.

  3. Stay tuned for DVD Jon's Autobiography... on DVD Jon Creates DRM Killer · · Score: 3, Funny

    "My Life As A Nail"

  4. Re:Feature-complete on Haiku OS Resurrects BeOS as Open Source · · Score: 1

    And with any luck, the OS should become 92% ubiquitous.

  5. 12,0000 - that's like - erm - a LOT! on Science Debate 2008 · · Score: 1

    Pity there were no mathematicians on board.

  6. Just wish he'd go back to singing... on Richard Stallman on OLPC · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... about an obscure restaurant in Western Mass.

  7. *blink* *blink* NOW they grok "mission creep" on DHS Official Suggests REAL ID Mission Creep · · Score: 1

    How many years into this nonsense and it just now dawns on them that there are multiple unintended uses for a national database of all of our picayune details?

    I blame the cubicle blinders^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H walls.

    That and a hyper-hypocritical admin mindset that wants to evince their anti-big gummint creed by adding a master layer with unprecedented access.

    But that's just me.

  8. We've got a 12-metaphor pileup over on Slashdot... on 'Innovation In a Flash' Is a Myth · · Score: 1

    .. make that 13.

    ... all because some developer can't spell "N D A"

  12. As a public service... on Impress Your Friends While Watching "Untraceable" · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... I say the next techno movie plot shows how forwarding insipidly cute emails about kittens doing something pukingly cute causes your head to explode.

  13. Re:The size of the Hubble? on Defunct Spy Satellite Falling From Orbit · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall the Hubble could resolve something the size of a dime at 300 miles - sound right?

  14. I hear they make great BetaMax stands. on HD DVD Player Sales Grind To a Halt · · Score: 1

    Ba-dum-bump!
    Thank you, I'm here all week.
    Try the veal.

  15. God forbid the client is standards-compliant. on Microsoft Confirms IE8 Has 3 Render Modes · · Score: 1

    They're again refusing to bite the bullet and make a browser that actually handles the ML it was meant to read, as well as pandering to leagues of sites who have used IE quirks to make end-runs, making piles of problems for competing browsers which ARE compliant. Having to hear some CS rep tell me they don't support Safari or Firefox as if I bought a crippled client... Priceless.

    It's like someone welded a 777 wing to the roof of a Ford Escort thinking they were going to solve two problems. What's needed in Redmond is for someone with the vision and stones to drive the bloody thing off a cliff and go build a decent vehicle.

  16. *sigh* on AI Taught How To Play Ms. Pac-Man · · Score: 1

    I rocked at this game back in the day.
    Now I've been pwned by a largish calculator.

  17. Good. on Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction · · Score: 1

    Funny their vaunted fossils will likely end up in the hands of those they've sworn to oppose.

  18. Them French sure have a lot of time on their hands on French Fine Amazon For Free Shipping · · Score: 1

    and this is what they come up with - price fixing for dead trees.

  19. Re:Monkeys have standards on Monkey's Thoughts Make Robot Walk · · Score: 1

    Like the old joke... a leading lab stopped using animals for testing and started using lawyers.

    Cuz there's some things the rats just won't do.

  20. Feh. on Monkey's Thoughts Make Robot Walk · · Score: 1

    Call me when you can get a monkey to make Supreme Court appointments.

    Oh wait...

  21. Re:Absolutely right on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Absolutely right on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    iBook? What's the 802.11 issue? Any iBook had b and should see anything. No sense in adding g to one that has it for most uses.

  24. Speaking from experience... on Microsoft Will Stream Ads To Grocery Carts · · Score: 1

    ShopRite in my state needs to focus more on keeping the insects off the food and expired food off the shelves and less on whizzy carts.

  25. Re:Even more clearly... on Ford Claims Ownership Of Your Pictures · · Score: 1

    The two names the parent quoted needed clarification, and the slight difference only helps to distinguish them.
