  1. Re:Great Timing on GEOS Available for Download After 18 Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Because the Commodore is keeping up with you!

    Flamin' soviets...

  2. Re:Mmmm.... movies! on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Erm, isn't the irony in that song, the fact that none of the things she sings about are in fact, ironic? ...

    Or am I simply giving ms Morissette way too much credit?

  3. Re:I for one... on Scientists Claim They Cloned Humans · · Score: 1

    As with identical twins (natural clones), clones will have different fingerprints.

  4. Re:Kazaa and Bittorrent... on BitTorrent's Creator Bram Cohen Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Only problem is that contrary to its name shareaza doesn't actually search the kazaa network, only the edonkey and gnutella ones, which limits its usefulness greatly. However it makes an awesome bittorrent client.

  5. Re:Ladies and Gentlemen: The Scientific Method on What If Dark Matter Really Doesn't Exist? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Erm, I don't buy into any religion, but technically allah and jehovah are supposedly the same guy.

  6. Re:Mirror on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 1

    Anybody have a .torrent?

  7. Re:Reproduction in space on 'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space · · Score: 1

    what do we do with 10^20 tons of carbon dioxide!

    Ship it to mars!

  8. Re:Tourism? on NASA's Own X Prize? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Space tourism is the only way we can get off this planet. Until we have fusion, and it's accompanying demand for He3, there's no money in space. No matter how much platinum there is out there on asteroids, it's always going to be shitloads cheaper just to buy it from somebody down here, unless we have an established space industry already.

    And the unfortunate truth is that in today's society, unless there's money in it, there will be no space industry. The powers-that-be are only interested in increasing their power, and the best way to do that is to get more money, not throw it in to space.

  9. Re:Erm... on Smog Busting Paint Breaks Down Noxious Gasses · · Score: 1

    I see... almost.

    I totally suck at chemistry (physics was my thing), how does a catalyst catalyse? And does it get used up?

  10. Erm... on Smog Busting Paint Breaks Down Noxious Gasses · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Unless it's some sort of magic mass->energy transfer, won't any paint that absorbs noxious chemicals soon become sturated with said noxious chemicals and then become, well... noxious?

  11. Re:Nuclear power on The Law of Disassembly · · Score: 1

    Hell no... Ant the "etc" in "Chernobyl, 3 mile island, etc" isn't exactly a lot.

  12. Re:A supermodel's trophy husband on Dream Jobs of 2004 · · Score: 1

    I'd have to say that sounds about right, but bugger me i'd like to find out for myself :)

  13. Re:Convex Mirror on Radar For Safer Driving · · Score: 1

    It's an old solution, and unfortunately, illegal in most countries, including here (Australia), but I don't know about the US... it's legal in japan, tho. It's not that you can't have additional mirrors that are convex, but all 3(2 if it's old) mirrors have to be flat.

  14. Nuclear power on The Law of Disassembly · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is disturbingly reminiscent of "nuclear power will give us clean limitless energy, and don't worry, we'll deal with the byproducts later because we'll have the tools by then."

    Hey cummon, nuclear power will provide us will clean limitless power, once we have fusion. And if the-powers-that-protest hadn't given the world nuclear such an ugly stain, we'd probably have it by now, as there'd be a shed-load more research being done.

  15. Re:Ugly choices on DARPA Funds Internet Tracking Scheme · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm just saying that if we're scared of the government abusing a power that we give them, why do we continue to give them such power?

    We don't. They're taking it from us, one teeny little reasonable-seeming, "won't somebody think of the chidlren" law at a time.

  16. Re:Here we go again!!! on Jobs to India -- A Broad Look · · Score: 1

    All they are really selling is their poverty!

    Exactly. And why, exactly, would we want to buy poverty?

  17. Re:Well that's great.... on Chess - 2070 CPUs vs 1 GM · · Score: 1

    Well, theoretically, yes... but! - The computer matches would be so perfect as to eliminate the thrill of romantic conquest.

  18. Re:Unstoppable on A Review of Nanotech's Future · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I am very sensitive to aspartame, if I absentmindedly accept a sugarless mint or gum from someone, I'll suffer a severe migraine wich renders me totally incapable of doing anything for hours. Safe my ass...

    So what? If my brother eats a brazil nut, he'll keel over and die... Should we ban them? I can eat them till the cows come home and I'll just get fat(ter). Some people are allergic to some shit. Some people get sick/headaches/whatever if they eat msg, but to 99% of the population, it's just like salt with an evil name.... it simply makes your food taste a little better.

    And there goes my mod points i gave to the grandfather post, too...

  19. Re:Linux going mainstream? on Linux Going Mainstream · · Score: 4, Funny

    Look Stallman, give it up, we know it's you. And we're still not interested.

  20. I guess I'm safe on Googling For Prospective Date Unmasks Fugitive · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I used to be the top result from google, but now it's some tennis player. I'm on the first page, but it's not my homepage, just something I posted to a PHP mailing list a thousand years ago.

    Seriously tho, anybody who dates somebody off the internet without at least having a go at googling their name, is nearly as stupid as anybody who's got an outstanding arrest warrant and gives out their real name.

  21. Re:Yeah right. on Virtual Dummy To Try On Clothes · · Score: 1

    I don't try much on before i buy it... i know how big i am... if you're a bloke sizes tend to be fairly accurate. Hold the pants against your leg to see how long they are, fold them around your neck to see if they'll fit your waist...

  22. Re:as to what they found the easiest on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 1

    Id has said that about the last few engines they wrote as well, so we'll see about that.

  23. Re:Thoughts on infrastructure on FreeBSD 5.2 Review · · Score: 1

    Your building analogy is flawed, IMHO... If you're only interested in the top floor (the desktop experience) it doesn't matter how far down the damage goes if the top floor is gone. If I spend 90% of my time in the desktop, there's not much difference to me in X crashing versus the windows kernel crapping out.

  24. Re:So wrong... on Why iPod Mini is a smart move for Apple · · Score: 1

    And if only people like you who needed them bought them, the world would be a better place. But 99.9% at least are wankers who do it for poseur value or because they've been convinced that it's safer for them (and who cares who they kill?).

  25. Re:MS co-founder? on Apple History At folklore.org · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually gates did write some parts of the early parts of dos, namely the FAT filesystem.
