  1. Re:Representatives of the People, Indeed on Jail Time For P2P Developers? · · Score: 1
    They ought to just declare HTTP, FTP, UDP, TCP, and IP illegal.

    Cool! I, for one, welcome our old UUCP filesharing overlords!

  2. Re:Band aid on Google Cans Comment Spam · · Score: 1

    And if they're spammers for hire, they can tell their customers that they did a targetted run to n addresses. (Where n is a stupidly big number including stef.) They don't care how many didn't get anywhere.

  3. Nothing new about extensible languages on Are Extensible Programming Languages Coming? · · Score: 1

    Just someone wanting to try out their shiny new XML hammer on all those nails. (The custom reformatting would be nice. After a while those 64x16 Forth pages got old--not that they were manditory.))

  4. An entry level book on Forensic Discovery · · Score: 2, Informative

    For starting out. (Will they have Phishing For Dummies next?)

  5. Re:Wish... on MyDoom Strikes Again · · Score: 1

    Learned the first time? There are probably people still infected with Code Red. (Unless some other virus came along and patched that hole.)

  6. Re:Editor training on Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine · · Score: 1

    He was practicing in case that Microsoft gig didn't work out. He didn't really want to be a CEO, he wanted to join a boy band. (Steve was more into heavy mental.)

  7. Re:Mac in the Back on Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine · · Score: 1

    If you look really closely, you'll see the prototype ASCII Clippy.

  8. White bread of ultimate darkness on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 1
    It's worse than that. Since HSS isn't open source, do you think that they won't bend their results when pressured by the record companies? ("Your program continually low-rates our boi-bands. We might have to re-evaluate our agreement." "Probably just a glitch, we'll get right on it.")

    And then when the crud doesn't sell as well as expected, they can blame P2P and sue another 13 grannies. "One Bot to bring them all and in the contracts bind them. In the land of Polydor, where the records lie."

  9. Re:RIAA Bot on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    They still have one problem with their plan to replace listeners with bots: Even the bots won't buy their stuff.

  10. Re:What's up with the modified statue? on Is Atlas Holding Hipparchus' Lost Star Map? · · Score: 1

    The statue comes with a removable fig-leaf (and kung-fu grip). Malibu Atlas comes with even more stuff.

  11. Re:LOL!! on Is Atlas Holding Hipparchus' Lost Star Map? · · Score: 1
    Not to mention capabilities of thoughtful attention.

    In the cycle of creation,
    the goddess had some fun:
    mother nature gave men two heads,
    but just blood enough for one.

  12. Re:These dancing robots that preserve the culture. on Dancing Robots Help Preserve Japanese Culture · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they do noh theater.

  13. Re:About adblock on Future of Internet News? · · Score: 1

    It's easy to roll your own Cute Cat ad replacer if you block sites in hosts. (A tiny server that listens at 127.0.0.1:80 and serves up random cute cat pictures when blocked ads are requested.) However, if you want something off the rack, try eDexter and fill up its picture directory with cute kitties.

  14. Re:Important Safety Tip on Wireless Bluetooth Sunglasses · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sure. "Hi! Yeah, I'm on the snowboard. Hang on, I'm about to Bono this tree..."

  15. Re:Easy Formatting on Brian Hook on the ActiveX Experience · · Score: 1

    My site will search for contact information, credit card numbers and passwords on their drive before formatting it. This isn't identity theft, this is a security backup feature to protect users. (Because they've obviously too dumb to be trusted with this info.)

  16. Re:So... on Brian Hook on the ActiveX Experience · · Score: 1

    Oh he probably knew generally that ActiveX sucks for security, but it's always a shock to learn definitively how much it sucks.

  17. Linux Standard Base on LSB Submitted To ISO/IEEE · · Score: 5, Informative

    The LSB FAQ (for those whose first question was "What the heck is LSB?")

  18. Re:From the on Overclocking Calculators? · · Score: 1

    If you do, don't stand too close to the microwave, or the whole room will get sucked back in time, your cat will eat a critical dinosaur, and you'll return to the present with a completely messed up time-line. Trust me, it happens all the time.

  19. Re:Toilet breaks? on EA Considering Sims TV Show · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that will just be the start.

  20. Re:It Means on Carnivore No More · · Score: 1
    We need WDIV Chopper News 4 to do an expose

    Maybe Edison Carter and Network 23?

  21. Re:You would have thought... - NOT on Build Your Own MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Oh! I thought that was the fumes from the beer. (Ole kill -9 stout.)

  22. Re:This is all well and good, BUT... on Build Your Own MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Since the code is there, just change it to shuffle any old way you want it to.

  23. Re:You would have thought... - NOT on Build Your Own MP3 Player · · Score: 2, Funny

    Holy frack! I hope it wasn't controlling the beer brewing too!

  24. Re:Wow, I believe... on Titan Photos and Sounds · · Score: 5, Funny

    They still haven't released the final sequence. They're still trying to figure out that one.

  25. Re:Now they just need to acquire Siebel Systems on Oracle Dumps PeopleSoft Employees · · Score: 1

    Eugh! That would be poetic since Siebel bought with extreme prejudice a company that I worked for.
