    Why man, why?

  3. Re:Post-modern? on Postmodern Computer Science · · Score: 1

    Heresy! You cannot possibly compute a time cube. You are educated stupid.

    Chief Wiggum: Nice work, Brenda. I'll take it from here.
    Robot: No way. This is my collar. (Wiggum switches robot off)
    Wiggum: Heh. Too bad real women don't come with these, huh?

  5. Re:fuck internet radio. on Small Webcasters get Powerful New Ally · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's hard to understand how I would include music that I still don't know in my playlists. Please ellaborate on that.

    Magic?

  6. Re:I can think of one idea to get even cooler on Building a Dead Silent PC · · Score: 1

    Oil, alcohol.

  7. Re:Excellent on Using Microwaves to Drill Through Glass · · Score: 2

    > Get Windows XP. The holes included are numerous.

    Oh, those? They're speed holes.

  8. Re:Illegal Operation on Gnarly Error Messages · · Score: 1

    I once worked with this woman with poor vision who was hysterical because something about an "illegal abortion" had appeared on her machine.

    Well, there are some who would like that to be an illegal operation.

  9. Re:GIF Format? on Library of Congress Map Collections from 1500's · · Score: 1

    > Don't steal from Calvin and Hobbes!!!

    I intentionally left out the source. I was hoping that someone would get the joke. You don't jump down people's throats for quoting The Simpsons without a reference, do you?

  10. Re:GIF Format? on Library of Congress Map Collections from 1500's · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yep. The world didn't turn color until sometime in the 1930's, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.

  11. Re:Well duh on Boeing Bird of Prey Stealth Fighter · · Score: 3, Funny

    What's really going to bake your noddle later on is, did I just expose my ignorance of Star Trek, or, did I intentionally make the error to bring trekkies out of the woodwork?

    I suppose spelling noodle wrong was also intentional? :-)

  12. Re:This is almost TOO easy ... on Ballmer Sees Free Software as Enemy No. 1 · · Score: 4, Funny

    > linux very rarely 'innovates' (i'm talking about general Unix software now)

    What?! What about Tux Racer?

  13. Re:teach english on Visiting the World, as a Geek? · · Score: 1

    > For those of you too lazy to cut and paste.
    > http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/teaching.html

    I was hoping for a stickman animation of one guy's visit to Thailand, featuring situational comedy and his hilarious antics. I am disappointed.

  14. Re:Gamer's Paradise on Next Generation of Holographic Images · · Score: 2

    > I already play 3d games where blah blah blah...
    > It's called "sports". Get off the couch, fatties.

    I'd rather play Grand Theft Auto.

  15. Re:The problem with 3D on Next Generation of Holographic Images · · Score: 1

    > You certainly need 3d for driving.

    There are people with only one working eye who seem to get by just fine.

  16. Re:They are also ridiculously expensive (OT) on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 2

    Yeah! They should also bring back corporal punishment, now that I'm out of school.

  17. Re:I hope Hammer will fix the rc5 crippled speed!! on AMD Talks About Internal Benchmarks for Opterons · · Score: 1

    Well, rotating through a carry bit is also a pretty standard instruction.

    In some of my applications mentioned, I did indeed mean rotate, because it wouldn't have made a bit (har har) of difference on the outcome displayed to the viewer. You are right though, I should have said shift WRT multiplication/division.

  18. Re:Big Black Holes are Thin on There's a Hole in the Middle of It All · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How about this one: What if our known universe resides inside a black hole, and black holes act just like quantum particles? Our universe could be just an elementary particle that acts as part of a sand grain on a super-universal beach.

    If that could be true, how about tiny universes residing in each of our tiny elementary particles?

    Think about a proton having a half-life. At that point, all the matter in that little universe has collapsed into little black holes, and it's time for that bugger to move on.

    Blah, blah, blah, and so on.

  19. Re:I hope Hammer will fix the rc5 crippled speed!! on AMD Talks About Internal Benchmarks for Opterons · · Score: 2

    I've used bit rotate operations for bitmaps and multiplications/divisions by powers of two. They can also be used in some cases for serial transmission of data. They're not completely useless.

  20. Re:good idea and on Phoenix 0.3 Is Out · · Score: 2

    Mozilla and MS Office 6.0 for mac? If you think those are ugly enough to revolt over, you should see the "standard" X toolkit. You'd go blind!

  21. Re:What I would like to know is... on The End Of Minix? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, you never know when all hell could break loose. That's why you should keep an old vt100 behind a glass case for when the shit hits the fan, and you need a terminal, pronto!

    "BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY"

  22. Re:Existing Journaling Systems? on Mac OS X to Get Journaling FS · · Score: 5, Funny

    Unix using a feature with unabbreviated, capitalized words? What is the world coming to?

  23. Re:C on If Programming Languages Could Speak · · Score: 1

    I believe his point was that there is no reason to printf("%s", "Bite me!"); even though it does parse and compile.

  24. Re:Large Potion? on The Aging Gamer · · Score: 1

    Maybe he meant potion of aging, which is why there are so many gamers over 35 years old.
