  1. Torrent link on Was the New Dr. Who Leaked on Purpose? · · Score: 3, Informative
  2. Re:Worked for me on Was the New Dr. Who Leaked on Purpose? · · Score: 1

    It worked for me. Some parts were cheesy, but they were cheesy in Dr Who tradition. Christopher Eccleston had the right style. Different, but aren't they all?

  3. Re:*Second* prize? on Instant Buildings - Just Add Water · · Score: 1

    "You're not going to the prom with that engineering student, and that's final!"

  4. Re:Google will likely try to do this. on Google and Their Server Farm · · Score: 1

    Those assumptions can all be rolled up into one: "Oooo! Shiny!"

  5. Re:*Second* prize? on Instant Buildings - Just Add Water · · Score: 1

    When I saw lace and concrete, I thought of wedding dresses for some reason. "You may now chip out the bride."

  6. Re:What's not to like? (The cost?) on Instant Buildings - Just Add Water · · Score: 5, Funny

    I dunno Capt'n. I mean, would the army really like blowing up buildings?

  7. Re:obligatory 1970's reference on Lord of the Rings Musical to Open in Toronto · · Score: 1

    When you're a Orc,
    You're a Orc all the way
    From your first Morgul shiv
    To your last dyin' day.

  8. Prior art! on Lord of the Rings Musical to Open in Toronto · · Score: 1

    Just what we need, another endless musical ring cycle saga lasting days. (And they'll probably still cut the bit in the Shire at the end.) "a full performance of the cycle takes place over four nights at the opera, with a total playing time of about 15 hours" - And you thought watching all the DVDs was a bad case of numb-bum. Wagner's lawyers will be in touch.

  9. Re:For people unfamiliar with Canada on Lord of the Rings Musical to Open in Toronto · · Score: 1

    Either Isengard or the Baradur in Mordor, surely. It's got that tower, you know.

  10. Re:Fluorescent Lighting? on Flickering Curiosity? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sometimes I can really see it when I've been out the night before and it coincides with the frequency of the throbbing of my head.

  11. Re:Kraft owns Milka? on French Designer Ordered to Give up milka.fr · · Score: 0

    Quack quack quack, quack quack!

  12. Re:WHOA! on French Designer Ordered to Give up milka.fr · · Score: 0

    You could have gone for mycowsoft.com. Double the safety! Got Milk?

  13. Arrrrrrr! A pirate cruise ship! on Gaiman Naming Auction · · Score: 1
  14. Re:Naming tool... on Gaiman Naming Auction · · Score: 1

    I have a namer program. You could call your kid .. Throne Rage, Klingon Charlie, Bedroom Skull or Blood Artist. Hmm, on second thought, maybe sticking to naming F&SF role-playing characters would be better?

  15. Re:Saw this yesterday on Holy LEGO Blocks, Batman! · · Score: 1
    it's better than the last two Batman films combined.

    If you combine them, doesn't that make it worse?

  16. Re:West? Hammil? Van Dyke? on Holy LEGO Blocks, Batman! · · Score: 1

    It's not the first time that Mark Hamillll (balance) has voiced the Joker. He did quite well on a previous animated Batman .. a long time ago.

  17. Re:The Tandy COCO Guy! on Software Engineering Demo for a K-5 Career Fair? · · Score: 1

    You mean like this MC-10? :^) There's a wiki for OS-9.

  18. Re:duh on Infrared Webcam HOWTO · · Score: 1

    He uses a piece black film negative. Would that be the best material for chopping visible light but letting the IR through?

  19. Re:Infrared on Infrared Webcam HOWTO · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have you tried a universal remote that supports dog? It the pause button works then you need to talk to the patent lawyers.

  20. Re:The Tandy COCO Guy! on Software Engineering Demo for a K-5 Career Fair? · · Score: 1

    You should have got Microware OS-9 (especially with a Coco III). Then you could have been running Unix-style 20 years ahead of the curve. (Assuming that this is The Year of Linux.) BASIC-09 was far sweeter than the MS BASIC of the day, which is probably why it had to die.

  21. Re:Dust Whirlwinds and Human Missions on Whirlwinds on Mars, From the Ground · · Score: 1

    For manned Mars missions, maybe we should send Hell Tanner and that killer RV from Damnation Alley? (Read Roger Zelazny's book before watching that movie.)

  22. Re:Something like that "media slot" in Asus? on AMD and Intel CPUs Supported On Same Motherboard · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I know someone who once bought a Compaq laptop because it had a slot where you plug a at some future date plug in a card with a DEC Alpha chip. I don't think that looks too likely to happen...

  23. Re:the point is... on AMD and Intel CPUs Supported On Same Motherboard · · Score: 3, Insightful
    No, it lets them claim that it's swappable.

    It'll come in the Intel configuration, and the extra AMD card will cost more. And then, six months later when you really do want to switch to AMD, you'll find that they don't make the AMD card any more and you're SOL.

    It's aimed at people who can't make up their mind and want expensive training wheels (that don't really work, but have a high feel good factor).

  24. Re:Who cares? on AMD and Intel CPUs Supported On Same Motherboard · · Score: 1

    And a large daughter board for AMD chips. This is a frankenfurter kludge.

  25. Re:benchmarking on AMD and Intel CPUs Supported On Same Motherboard · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Really? The AMD CPU sits out on a large seperate daughter-board. With a selection of daughter boards, you could probably plug a Z80 into this thing -- but only the Intel chip is going to be "native".
