  1. Re:more on Belgian religious intolerance on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    They were also completely blocking the Wayback archive for a while. If the spider bot was too much trouble, perhaps I could see excluding it, but why block the display of all the previously archived pages?

  2. Re:Even weirder news in City of London on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    When I saw all those colour-coordinated umbrellas, I thought of the '60s show The Prisoner. Hmm, I wonder why?

  3. Re:Thank Xenu! on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    And there's this guy: Armenian immigrant and 5 others convicted of military-weapons charges in FBI sting, plotting to sell anti-aircraft missiles and in the United States on a religious worker visa for the Church of Scientology. What's up with that?

  4. Re:arguments on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    This isn't about space-alien nutjobs. Scientology just uses that as one of their many outer layers of protection. This is about criminal activities.

  5. King Robert Alan Soloway? on The New Yorker On Spam · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who died and elected him Spam King? (Not objecting, just hopeful that the previous Spam King died.)

  6. Re:Michael Liberal Geist on Canadian Court Sides With Dell Against Class Actions · · Score: 1

    You think he favours the Liberal Party vs the Conservatives or the New Democrats? (I guess we can rule out Bloc Quebecois.)

  7. Re:Old news on Attacking Sandboxes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember when Lotus 1-2-3 had code designed to crash if was run with debug.

  8. When aliens land... on Man Finally Makes the Weed-Removing Robot · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Take me to your weeder!"

  9. Re:Already quite popular north of the border on Smart Car Coming To the US In Jan. 2008 · · Score: 1

    The Honda Civic was likewise much smaller when it first hit Canada in the 70s. (And usually rusted out in soon after.) Student "cramming", good times, good times...

  10. Throwing charges at the wall until it sticks on Is Videotaping the Police a Felony? · · Score: 1

    While their wording of the law for felony wiretapping of voice communications probably has flexible spots, I doubt it'll bend that far unless the guy has a really crummy lawyer.

  11. Who is the Canadian Ric Romero? on Behind the Scenes of Canada's Movie Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    The second is that private meetings, foreign pressures and lobbyist drafted bills is how law gets made in Canada.
    In other words, nothing has changed since the days before Confederation.
  12. Re:No need! on Self-Healing Plastic Skin · · Score: 1

    But there is one thing that can destroy a cute little baby doll: Another cute little baby doll.

  13. Revolutionary change! on Self-Healing Plastic Skin · · Score: 1

    Self-healing kids' toys! The world will never be the same again.

  14. Re:Let me be the first to say on A New Global Memory Card Standard · · Score: 1

    2048 Gigabytes *should* be enough for anyone...
    Hey, I'm not just anyone!
  15. Re:The Age Old Battle on 'Pirates' Outsells 'Matrix' in High-Def Showdown · · Score: 1

    I dunno, I think anime ninjas that loudly shout which secret ninjitsu technique they're surprising their opponent with are worse.

  16. Looking for Mr/Ms Right on Semantic Search Points To Better Relevancy · · Score: 1

    [..] but it's not a sure thing that the researchers now developing the idea will get it right.
    Well, is there anyone in their Friend Of A Friend RDFweb that might know how to get it right?
  17. Blink-blink on Hearing Date Set for SCO vs. Novell · · Score: 5, Funny

    Judge Dread and David Bowie must appear? Wait, I think the coffee has brewed. (SCO stories are always at least a two-cup problem and I'm down a cup this morning. Fill'er up, premium!)

  18. Re:Here We Go on Michigan Man Charged for Using Free WiFi · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tonight we surf in Hell!

  19. A piece of the action on Scotty Scooped Up · · Score: 1

    Looks like they put the bag on Scotty...

  20. List = {Null}? on Spyware Maker Sues Anti-Spyware Maker · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can Zango provide a verifiable list of their "customers" who are actually complaining that it was removed?

  21. So simple even a caveman could do it on Using Technology to Enhance Humans · · Score: 1

    I have this new human enhancement technology. I call it a club.

  22. I've already ended "Patch Tuesday" on Time to End Microsoft's Patch Tuesday? · · Score: 1

    After repeated experiences of the extremely awful "check for updates" software, which would lock out other apps from starting, including the task manager, I switched it from "notify" to "off". Now I'll do it manually on my own, thanks.

    It still puts a x-shield icon on the bar, and I can live with that, but if it nags me one more time that the automatic update is switched off, it will find that it can't live with that because I will hunt down that clippy-like code and make it non-executable.
  23. Re:Hrm... on Thailand Sues YouTube · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is he almost universally adored by all Thais, or just the ones who aren't in jail?

  24. Just what the bees need! on Nano Light-Emitting Fibers In the Lab · · Score: 1

    Nano turn signals!

  25. Well, in that case on Boston Bans Boing Boing From City Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    If someone could spend the time to figure out what the banned combination phrase is, everyone could post it to as many sites, blogs, message boards, comments and feedback entries as possible, so people will know not to use it. It'd be terrible if any site was blocked by accident!
