  1. Re:Pasta on DNA to Test Theory of Roman Village in China · · Score: 1

    But what could they do with pasta until the tomato was brought over from the Americas?

    Ha! I triple black dog dare him!

  5. Re:Truth or Dare? on Bill Gates Brags About Vista, Reacts to Apple's Latest Ads · · Score: 5, Funny

    It wasn't a double-dog dare, so he's not serious.

  6. Weak article on IEEE Seeks For Ethernet To 'Go Green' · · Score: 1

    It would have been nice if the article had broken down the network power consumption down into something useful like the number of Watts for a single 10/100/1000 Mbps port, instead they bury it under the total IT power consumption. In the end, when I have to weigh the cost of upgrading my PC vs the energy savings, I'd like useful benchmarks.

    A new player for the Edinburgh Engines in the Bucky Basketball League!

    Maybe if the terrorists just toss a bunch of LED throwies at something they want destroyed, then Homeland Security will blow it up for them?

    Sigh. Take 2. Space Invaders!

    They'll need that laser to deal with the Space Invaders!

  12. Re:Who's the @**hole now! on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 1

    Some of the displays were flipping the bird, and The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate sounds pretty dangerous.

  13. If an art campaign worried them... on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder how they'd react to actual guerrilla street art?

  14. Re:Older Henges you can touch on Ancient Village Unearthed Near Stonehenge · · Score: 1

    If you travel north through Scotland all the way to the Orkney Islands, ..

    Yeah, and on bad-crop years they'd get down with torches and a barbeque. Those woad-warriors sure could party!

    Druids sing, are you listening,
    In the field, sickles glistening
    A beautiful sight,
    We're sacrificing tonight.
    Walking in a wicker wonderland...

  20. Re:Two miles on Ancient Village Unearthed Near Stonehenge · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yup, there's various periods of Stonehenge, including when they got by with wood markers. I hear that all the tourists asking why the place was called Stonehenge drove the druids to do the later versions.

  21. Re:The reason AJAX worked this time.. on Bosworth On Why AJAX Failed, Then Succeeded · · Score: 1

    The first I'd heard of XMLHTTP was when spammers started using a secuity exploit in ActiveX to use it to load an executable and then save the nasty via AdoStream to disk. It wasn't until a couple years later that I read more and thought "Oh, so that's what it's for!" (Silly me, I'd been using it to pull all the jpgs from .. umm .. sites.)
