  1. Re:Chinese Spies: Something Not Funny on The Promise Of Transparent Circuits · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll think "What the hell is the Canadian State Department?" (We keep changing department names every few years to confuse spies and Canadians, but it's never been called that.)

  2. Re:Can see it now... on The Promise Of Transparent Circuits · · Score: 1

    Make sure someone doesn't install a backdoor.

  3. Re:comp house on The Promise Of Transparent Circuits · · Score: 1

    Or that hammer-throwing chick from the Apple 1984 commercial.

  4. Re:It's not J-Pop, don't worry on Final Fantasy Concert Series Coming to the States · · Score: 1

    Electric Chocobo starts with a bit of Shadowy Men feel. Building a unified concert theme might be tricky.

  5. Re:My question on Lego Logic Gates · · Score: 2, Funny

    He could build a Lego vacuum-cleaner made of Lego, but that's like canabalism. Before he knew it, he'd have a Legoid-lifeform eating his other projects and growing stronger.

  6. Re:This post was lifted verbatim from Metafilter on Lego Logic Gates · · Score: 1

    So that's why that guy kept e-mailing me for time-machine parts. He wanted to use it to scoop Slashdot.

  7. Re:Lego-4 3 GHz, here we come! on Lego Logic Gates · · Score: 1

    I imagine that a 64 bit CPU "die" done with 100mm logic might be a tad large. Lemme finish my Lego calculator and I'll give you some numbers. I do predict that the gigabyte DIMMs will really blow blocks.

  8. Re:great idea on What Do Court-Ordered Internet Bans Really Mean? · · Score: 1

    Better put that number on the Really Really Do Not Call And We Mean It! list.

  9. Re:You venture near the old volcano... on Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 · · Score: 1

    What's that in zorkmids, or do you take Flathead Express?

  10. Bargains galore! on Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 · · Score: 3, Funny
    I'll sell a virtual island for just $2,650!
    @
    Okay, it's a little small, but it has a nice volcano in the middle. You can really feel at home.
  11. Re:Madden 64... on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    Bah! Back in my day, we played FTBL*** on DTSS and got to name our team whatever we wanted. (As long as it was uppercase only.) And yup, we liked it!

  12. Re:Vicious circle of commercial tie -ins!!! on LEGO Star Wars Video Game · · Score: 1

    Oh! I wondered why it was better tasting but a bit crunchy recently.

  13. It needs work on Evolving Swarms with Swarmstreaming · · Score: 1

    The 400+ hits on my port 1147 today by that "validated swarming technology" show that it doesn't play well with the rest of the Internet. Poor social skills, needs more effort.

  14. Re:Is that US or metric tons? on With Linux Clusters, Seeing Is Believing · · Score: 1

    Useful when firing off a memo that really has to penetrate.

  15. Re:Great styling. on Reliving The Glory Days of SGI · · Score: 1

    You can spell taupe and describe it? Aha!

  16. Re:Vicious circle of commercial tie -ins!!! on LEGO Star Wars Video Game · · Score: 1

    Just wait until the action-figures hit the stores.

  17. Re:Great styling. on Reliving The Glory Days of SGI · · Score: 1
    Remember that guys have trouble with colours outside the main rainbow colours. Indigo is on the border: it's on the rainbow and is a guy-colour, but not commonly used.

    For real guys, Teal is that guy on SG-1, and we don't do tope.

  18. Re:Three degrees of seperation. on Reliving The Glory Days of SGI · · Score: 1

    So within that tight three-degrees community, how many are terrorists? (In six degrees of seperation, you're definitely connected to one.) I'm not sure if the guys who worked on Jar Jar qualify.

  19. Re:TV on phone? Bad idea on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1
    A few months ago, they caught a guy in Toronto cruising a neighbourhood, driving the wrong way on a one-way, stealing WiFi, to watch pr0n movies on his laptop, on the dash, with his pants down.

    Some people have an unstoppable Will To Stupid.

  20. Re:What's so good? on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1

    I'll wait for one with a built-in Tivo so I can skip the commercials. (Of course, skipping commercials is "like theft"--which makes a washroom break that much more satisfying, w0t!)

  21. Re:TV on phone? Bad idea on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1

    I didn't think most places allowed in-dash video systems.

  22. Re:Obvious questions are... on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the roaming charges would be for watching your local shows while away in Europe? :)

  23. Re:Who needs this? on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1

    All those people who use the cellphone while driving to work, of course. Be afraid.

  24. Re:I can't resist on Is the Future of Silicon Valley Solar? · · Score: 1

    Will they catapult the Blue Man Group against the side of people's houses as part of the advertising?

  25. Re:Forces Working Against Us on Is the Future of Silicon Valley Solar? · · Score: 1

    How about piezo-electric panels that turn hailstone impacts into electricity?
