  1. EVE Online on Best Original Games of 2003? · · Score: 1

    EVE Online although it's technically based on Elite.

  2. Men in Black on Paycheck-Style Memory Erasure: How Close Are We? · · Score: 1

    The Men in Black have had this technology for years now!

  3. To much fuss... on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 1
    Why didn't they just put the whole box into the big freezer they had to begin with?

    "But you know those low-temp freezers they use in labs? Those that go down to like -80..-100C and can maintain the temperature."


    I assume it can also maintain the temperature with a running PC inside.
  4. Re:Here's a clue on TiVo Goes After Sites Hosting Image Backups · · Score: 1

    Why the TiVo User didn't realize this is beyond me.

  5. Elin Oxenhielm on Swedish Student Partly Solves 16th Hilbert Problem · · Score: 1

    Her homepage has a hig res version of her picture. ;)

  6. pimp/hoe on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 2, Funny

    I vote for "pimp/hoe" to replace "master/slave".

  7. Re:Africa isn't a state on Uranium Pebbles May Light the Way · · Score: 1

    This is a mater of debate!

  8. Re:Processing power is a constant on Whistle While You Work · · Score: 1

    Figuring out if "ram" is a verb or noun sounds easy compaired to the next problem: Is the noun "ram" an animal, a piece of computer hardware or maybe a car.

  9. Google toolbar blocks popups on IE To Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Who cares!

    The google toolbar has been blocking popups in my IE for a few months now.

  10. Re:Everything is hot swappable... on How Not To Install Computer Hardware · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I found out the hard way the downside to having a very silent computer. I didnt realize it was running. Did you know sparcs fly if you hot swap a video card!

    My current computer sounds like a jet at takeof so this will hopefully not be a problem any more.

  11. Re:Keep tabs on where your address goes on Baffling the Spam Bots · · Score: 1

    So you spend time replacing your email address once a year and use 3+ different email addresses. I think I'll just get a spam filter and live with the few spams that get through.

  12. Re:Won't someone protect the children! - The Simps on U.S. Supreme Court To Rule On Online Porn Law · · Score: 1

    It's funny anyone should stop his children from seeing sex scenes but feel ok if they see violence and killings (which seems to be the case with many people).

    However everyone wants his children to grow up to have sex but not kill anyone.

  13. Re:Not a laser.. on NASA Flies First Laser-powered Aircraft · · Score: 1

    True, I havent actually seen an invisible laser. ;o)

  14. The internet has ruined my moral values! on What's A 'Scroll Lock' And Why Is It On My Keyboard? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I did notice the example had to do with listing 20,000 Lesbian Porn pics but didn't see anything wrong with that until you pointed it out.

    I just thought he should sort them into subdirectories like I do.

  15. No lens cover? on Nokia 7600 All-in-One Phone · · Score: 1

    Why on earth don't mobile phone camera lenses have some sort of lens cover. The screen on my phone is covered in scratches, I asume the lens on my camera phone would be to after a short while.

  16. Re:A service? on ICANN Asks VeriSign To Stop DNS Wildcarding · · Score: 5, Funny

    You punching some people at VeriSign would be a service to the internet community.

  17. No need for this. on Where is the Any Key? · · Score: 1

    There is no need for this kind of faq. Mostly because people that "can't find the any key" can't find this kind of faq either.

  18. Re:Finally!? on Where is the Any Key? · · Score: 1

    Even weirder it was modified in 2002. What changed?

  19. Re:O_o on Beatles Bite Apple · · Score: 1

    That's the whole point, if Apple Computers are allowed to enter the music industry people will start confusing the trademarks. Which is the reason for the original agreement.

  20. The rubber hose method on Is it Just Me, Or Is Our Mainframe Missing? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of all the possible password attacks mentioned in my favourite cryptography book the rubber hose method is my favourite.

    The rubber hose method consists of kidnapping someone who knows the password and beating him with a rubber hose till he tells you the password.

    Guess this could be called the wheel out method.

  21. Downloaded versions and word of mouth! on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    What about people that heard it sucked from the their friends that downloaded it from the Internet?

  22. Why Humanoid? on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone ever build a humanoid robot?

    Currently non-humanoid robots are taking over jobs formerly done by humans and most of them are doing a better job. A good example is an ATM, which does not resemble a bank clerk at all. Most jobs done by humans don't require the worker to have human shape. It seems adding automatic function to machines formerly operated by humans is sufficient. The ATM is simply a automatic bank clerk booth etc...

  23. Modern fuel cells must be much better! on Building Longer-Lived Fuel-Cell Stacks · · Score: 1

    "We already have had a stationary lab stack run up to 20,000 hours continuously."

    Wow! They had fuel cells that good when they started testing it 20,000 hours (2 years!) ago!

  24. Try keeping your phone on top of your speaker on Research: Mobile Phones Disrupt Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Anyone that has tryed puting a mobile phone on top of a stereo can soon hear quite well why phones and airplane control systems dont go together well.

  25. Re:Sending porn spam to children is a felony on Inappropriate Spam Reaching Children? · · Score: 1

    Ok, I confess, I posted this from a prison for the criminally perverse. :oP

    Seriously, posting typos on boards is probably one of the top 10 most irritating things.
