  1. Re:PHP is... on PHP 5 in Practice · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, realize that the acronym for PHP Object Oriented Programming is POOP.

    Thus, the title of the next PHP book should be along the lines of "How To Write Real POOPy Code".

  2. Re:cult of global warming on Cosmic Rays and Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Yes, but did he account for the effect of all the cow farts on a global scale into his model?

  3. Re:botnet on US Planning Response To a Cyber Attack · · Score: 1

    Hit Redmond, since that is the original (Windows) "source" of the attack, neh?

    A hierarchical database stores the data on a file system.

    Some of you nincompoops need to go back to CS-101.

  5. Re:Clean Power Plants? on MIT's Millimeter Turbine to be Ready This Year · · Score: 1

    The real problem with electric cars and why the EV1 was canned by GM is that The Oil Companies have absolutely no piece of the revenue pie. With hybrids and hydrogen, The Oil Companies get to continue delivering the gasoline and can provide the infrastructure for delivering the hydrogen - and continue making record profits instead of going out of business.

  6. Re:I'm sure we could on $25M Bounty Offered for Global Warming Fix · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Beg to differ.

    It is NOT a political problem. It is a Greed problem.

    Tell Exxon Mobil it can't make over $35 billion a year in profit.

    Humanity is screwing up the plant. To avoid messing it up to the point where we can't exist on it anymore will require that we fundamentally change the way we live and work. Good luck in making that happen.

  7. Re:Delusions of Grandeur on Apple's Windows Apps Not Ready For Vista · · Score: 1

    ...and all of the people that I've talked to this week that went out to buy a machine, wanted to know if they could get it with XP instead of Vista.

    Go figger...

  8. Re:Good luck on ISP Tracking Legislation Hits the House · · Score: 1

    Well obviously, then in order to be an ISP, you will have to be licensed. And in order to get an ISP license, you will have to have the infrastructure in place to log all your users activities.

    Better start practicing your "Heil Bush!" in response to "Your Papers!"...

  9. Re:Get Laptops or smaller on The Power Consumption of Modern PCs · · Score: 1

    Horse cow puckeys.

    Aero doesn't work worth bean turds on a Radeon 9200 AGP card or 845G/865G chipsets.

    You left out "and a hire a good lawyer after getting sued for defamation".

  16. Re:Still in business on Diebold Security Foiled Again · · Score: 1

    Because it goes something like this:

    "You buy our stuff and we'll do something for you."

    Like kickbacks. Or free holiday trips. Or employment at a much higher salary after leaving gov't service. The list goes on...

  17. Re:A pretty dumb executive on Lack of Innovation in IT Holding Companies Back? · · Score: 1

    The Great Google, with its thousands of very highly educated people accidentally releasing private information? Tell me that it just isn't so. What happened to "Do No Evil"? And are those highly educated people that can run and pass The Great Google Hiring Gauntlet no so smart after all?? Tell me that it just isn't so... :-p

  20. Re:Prepare for the fasted ever Service Pack on Microsoft Admits Vista Has "High Impact Issues" · · Score: 1

    Then people will see that ploy, spread the word and wait for SP2. Sort of what some of us did with XP - finally, really started using XP after SP2 came out.

  22. Re:Go with logic on FCC Nixes Satellite Radio Merger · · Score: 1

    Call me an olde fart, but to me, the very idea of paying money to listen to radio is stupid beyond words.

    You see kids, there was this one time when you would stick an antenna out the window or on the roof and you could watch TV and listen to radio without paying a monthly fee to some money grubbing corporate entity. And there where fewer ads in those days. And the ads didn't suck your brain stupid either.
