  1. Re:Costumes and Sets on New Battlestar Galactica - Worth a Series? · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, a number of the outfits with ties seemed to be straight out of the 70s.

  2. Re:ooops.. on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    Interesting.. umm... Martha Plimpton impression.

  3. Sun to Linux: on Sun Negotiating With Wal-Mart Over Java Desktop · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "I love you, Dr. Zaius^iW^W^WLinux!"

  4. Re:Won't be long now on Kurzweil Gets A Patent For Poetic Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    ugh, i think if you played that music through a holophoner, you would see yourself diving into skies of battery acid while the goatse.cx guy frolics nude with giant diesel banana spiders and the twin SCO lawyers, Pain and Anguish, crawl under your skin.

  5. Re:3D? I'm still waiting for a 2D system! on PC Magazine Reviews Sharp's 3D Notebook · · Score: 1

    well, they already have 1D personal data reminder devices

  6. Re:3D my ass. on PC Magazine Reviews Sharp's 3D Notebook · · Score: 1, Funny

    Maybe not 3D your ass, and hopefully *never* 3D his ass

  7. Re:For the love of all that's good and holy on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 5, Funny

    While they're at it, change all the web forms in the world so that they don't say SUBMIT, as it's far too S&M. Perhaps the generic ENTER or OK would do, they're just not kinky enough though.

  8. Re:Laptop in hand? on Wardriver Charged with Theft of Communications · · Score: 1

    "That's not a laptop, officer."

    Officer: "That's okay, that's not my nightstick."

  9. What? on A Robot Carries Humans, Another One Plays Flute · · Score: 1

    A robot that can carry me? And here I am, using my OWN legs like a chump.

  10. ob. Back To The Future 2 reference on Atari 2600's Mind Maze Exploits Your ESP · · Score: 1

    "You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy"

  11. For the memory of a lifetime... on Rekall Now Available Under GPL · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I know it sounds crazy, but I went to this Rekall place after work, and..."
    "You went to those brain butchers?!"

  12. Re:Hmph on Microsoft Word Document ML Schemas Published · · Score: 5, Funny

    In legal terms, the CAPS is meant as a vocalization and pronunciation guide. In this case, you should shriek in an almost uncontrolled manner with a thick German accent. It also helps if you stand on a podium.

  13. Re:Forget the desk! on The Ultimate Desk... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Yes, because I too want a trunk CD changer filled with the greats like:
    - Best of - Bread
    - Greatest Hits - REO Speedwagon
    and
    - Spaced Out - The Best of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner

    I think "Best Of" is a relative term here.

  14. Re:I'd rather buy this on The Ultimate Desk... Sort Of · · Score: 3, Informative

    AHHH! On their own product they got the colors wrong (on the bed, for starters)! From left to right, its pink, blue, green (Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup).

    And the Space Ghost Desk is the wrong color, and the LCD is supposed to drop DOWN from above, not pop up! What cheesiness for such exorbitant prices!

  15. Re:if it isn't jimmy mardell! on Google Code Jam Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    dear god, one would have thought you were in MY math class!... I too played linked Tetris with at least one friend during boring Calculus 1 lectures in high school.

    I credit Z80/TI-85 tomfoolery with fostering my desire for going towards system programming. Mardell was one of the greats :)

    Ah, the things you can do even without MULT and DIV instructions :P

  16. Re:Don't buy Apple products. on iTunes for Windows Breaking Older iPods · · Score: 1

    yeah, i think at that point it was just developer releases, which means you were either an Apple-registered developer, or you got the ISO off the net somewhere (or from a friend or some such way). In any case, support, installs, etc. were of course buggy, They *did* fix that though, long ago. There are tons of apps, great support from Apple, and OS X installs are easy-peasy and are very reliable (more so than Windows and most Linux installs I've experienced).

  17. Re:Don't buy Apple products. on iTunes for Windows Breaking Older iPods · · Score: 1

    could it be that in "early 2000", OS X was still very beta?

  18. Re:New Hairdo on Slashback: Simpsons, Buyouts, Droid · · Score: 1

    what do you wanna do, get slapped with copyright violation?!?

  19. New Hairdo on Slashback: Simpsons, Buyouts, Droid · · Score: 2, Funny

    Give the OAP a '70s bowl haircut, spray it silver and call it Twiggy

    *beedeebeedeebeedee* Hey, Buck, I'm open source!

  20. Re:Because... on Forbes Examines SCO Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but SCO stole it from Eric Estrada, aka Ponch

  21. Re:I like the saying... on SCO Fires back, Subpoenas Stallman, Torvalds et al · · Score: 4, Funny

    just play this looped while you read thru the story ;)

  22. bah on Bombardier's Hot Wheel · · Score: 1

    looks cheesy. Give me a monocycle any day. Or even an eco-conscious (pedal-powered) one

  23. I wonder on The Ten Most Overpaid Jobs In The U.S. · · Score: 1

    where "SCO Lawyer" fits in amongst these Top 10?

  24. Re:It's about time on O'Reilly On What Happened To BountyQuest · · Score: 1

    or file preemptive patents: that is, any good idea you get, file a patent on it so that you have control over it. Specifically, you have the control to let anyone use it without threat of lawsuit.

  25. you say MC Chris on Artistic Freedom Vouchers Proposed · · Score: 2, Funny

    I say M.C. Hawking

    "E" stands for energy, yo that's me,
    I'm a brilliant scientist and a dope MC.
    Before you step to me I'd think twice G,
    I'm the Lord of Chaos, King of Entropy.
