  1. How Am I supposed to do work? on Average User Only Runs 2 Apps, So Microsoft Will Charge For More · · Score: 1

    I mean, if I'm checking for emails, and I'm surfing the web ... that doesn't leave me an ability to do work!

    I always claimed Microsoft was impacting my performance at work in the past ... but even for me this is taking it a bit far ...

  2. Complaining *must* also be genetic then... on Gene Found to Explain Repeated Mistakes · · Score: 1

    So no complaining about dupes and typos: it's genetic! No complaining about complaints either! It's genetic!
  3. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you've ever seen how some of the strippers can pick up the coins (i.e. with what part of her body), I don't think you'd mind so much...

  4. Re:No thanks, we are just fine w/o you. on UN Wants To Regulate Internet · · Score: 1

    Well, of course, that's your opinion.

    I'm sure I can find one that says the complete opposite ;P

  5. Free Dinners on Spam and Spyware Too Much for Some Users · · Score: 1

    Why not offer to help fix computers for something in return? I often ask for dinner, personally, as I don't really cook. No one really considers this an imposition, the other person usually considers it underpayment.

    Make yourself a CD book with some common repair tools, and get to work. Not only is it a great way to socialize, but free food is always a good thing!

  6. Re:Look Alert on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 5, Funny
    Except maybe police and security personnel, who are notorious about that sort of thing.

    Or those nice smelling individuals with the longer hair. I forget what they're called, personally, womes or something...
  7. Re:what would it be like on What Would The World Be Like Without Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    why else do we watch professional wrestling, reality tv.

    Man, I don't know exactly your reasons for watching wrestling are, but I watch it because I like seeing hot women slap each other.

    I'll have that subjected on me anytime!

  8. Re:Close... on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 0, Troll

    I guess calling Windows an OS here is like cursing in church ;)

    Worse. It's blasphemy =)

  9. Re:There oughta be a law... on Ripoff 101: Gouging Students for Textbooks · · Score: 1

    You're positive outlook on UW is refreshing.

    While I think it's great that some students got the new signed version for free, perhaps you should keep in mind that it was only one class. The rest of the school has to buy a new edition at the rather hefty price of $159.95.

    It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say Sedra will be making quite a tidy sum from this, especially as it is now the required course text for ECE 241.

  10. Re:Magic dust sprinkle on Where Will IBM Drop Windows? · · Score: 5, Funny

    So why are we celebrating that IBM is using new hype words to motivate its workers?

    Because it's our hype word. Duh =)

  11. Re:And if IIRC, on Canadian Census: 20,000 Jedi Worshippers · · Score: 1

    Nothing like a sucky sequel to weed out the unbelievers.

    So, Episode I kept people praising Yoda?

  12. Re:Registration free, as usual on Warming Battle Over Online Taxes · · Score: 1

    What're you talking about? When this story is posted tomorrow, I'm sure the links will be there ;)

  13. Re:Good for Canada? Not bloody likely on Global Warming will Open Northwest Passage · · Score: 1
    After all, Canada lacks the capacity to nforce any shipping laws or tariffs (look at our coast guard for christs sake!)
    Do I need to remind you how easily we dispatched the Spanish from Newfoundland during the "Turbot Wars"?
  14. Re:Kudos to him! on Chip a Playstation, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    He lives in Canada. He lost $20,000 to taxes !!!

  15. Re:I'm not a web page designer on 2600 Magazine Defeats Ford · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never worked at a Ford plant.

    I'd be shocked if the IT department could even figure out how to type 'fuckgeneralmotors.com' into their address bar. But, hey, I'm not bitter. No...

  16. Re:# 8 just doesn't seem to fit on Physics Problems For The New Age · · Score: 1

    To the best of my knowledge (which, admittedly, isn't that much), the latest theory that is supported by Stephen Hawking is that the grain of sand would be sucked into the black hole, then the transformed into energy, and then emitted in the form of radiation.

    They are using this theory to try and explain the excess of background radiation that exists in the Universe. It also raises an interesting issue: How can anything escape the gravitational pull of the black hole, if light itself cannot penetrate the event horizon?
