  1. Jabberwacky still needs some work on Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway · · Score: 1

    Jabberwacky answered "I don't know" to the age-old question of "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

    I for one am troubled at this serious design flaw.

  2. Re:No need to worry. on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Installing a Zalman HSF is exactly what I did. Highly recommended. Or (and), you can just buy a fan controller for the money (or both) to really quiet down your system.

    Where this would be really useful is for the whine of hard drives. It would be far better than the current system of enclosing it in some casing thus making it run even hotter.

  3. Re:Hmph... on New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess that makes holding down the Shift key when inserting the CD to prevent it from Autoplaying a DMCA violation now.

  4. Re:Obligatory welcome on SCO Extorting Unixware Licenses to Linux Users? · · Score: 1

    Please report to the re-education center where you will learn many things including, but not limited to, "profit lists", and jokes about non longer in existance soviet nations.

    You left out the obligatory Beowulf cluster jokes.

  5. Re:Crikey! on Office-Hour Habits of the North American Professor · · Score: 1

    ROFL! heh, your comment was funny, but the addition of the idiot modding made it hilarious.

    meanwhile, the comment below said pretty much the same thing and didn't get modded at all. strange.

  6. Re:Your car has clear taillight lenses, right? ;-) on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 1

    With bikes, to get the high hp numbers there are 2 ways to do it: rpm or displacement.

    not just with bikes. that applies to cars too. HP = Torque * RPM / 5252. this tells me that if you want to make more power, either increase torque (displacement or forced induction) or increase RPM.

  7. Re:Awfully dangerous on MacAddict Tracks Down eBay Scam Artist · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The police are far too busy performing highway wallet rape^W^W^Wspeed enforcement (because it saves lives!) to worry about this sort of thing.

  8. Re:What??? on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 1

    out of curiosity, what's illegal about boxing day sales? i'm Canadian and i've never heard of a boxing day sale being against the law.

  9. Re:i wonder why on China Develops Their Own CPU: The "Dragon Chip" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, China doesn't want Microsoft or Intel to be able to do any of that stuff. That's the Chinese government's job! Now they can block Google at the CPU level.

  10. Re:My path is clear on Canadian ISPs Could Take On Big Brother Role · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they'd try to charge you with "obstructing justice" if they could somehow prove you were doing it for that reason.

  11. Re:it's all about the pr0n on Canadian ISPs Could Take On Big Brother Role · · Score: 1

    As a Canadian, I enjoy all the jokes to go with the stereotypes. This comment caused me to laugh out loud in my office for several minutes. Thank you for that.
