  1. Re:Standby Periods on A Study On Time Wasted At Work · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah? When I saw Lord of the Rings, all I could think about was "Oh, get bet back in your kennels, both of you."

  2. Re:Its true what he says on JBoss Founder Hard-Nosed About Open Source · · Score: 4, Funny

    "chillax?"

    Maybe you need to stop smoking the bowl.

  3. Re:candidate for sabotage on Self-Heating Coffee Hacking · · Score: 4, Funny

    Right after I finish squishing the Wonder bread, my good man. Right after.

  4. Re:Did you consider.... on The New C Standard · · Score: 1

    Stay away from Que. Their corporate mission statement appears to be to find the worst, most error-ridden trash they can find, break it up into 7 or 21 lessons, and let it loose on an unsuspecting public.

  5. Re:Wow... on Last Year's Gadgets Get New Life As... Jewelry · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Conflict of "Gizmo" name? on Project Gizmo Challenges Skype · · Score: 1

    Obviously, they need to rename it "Stripe."

    Stripe is cooler looking.
    Stripe kicks Gizmo's ass.
    Stripe takes over.

    Yum yum...

  7. Re:Wood Ipod (guilt) on Real Wood iPod · · Score: 1

    I don't mean to sound like an porno-idiot here. Just when I hear the word "hardwood", I think of depression, disappointment, and general guilt.

  8. Re:Since you want to make it political... on ICANN Won't Get DNS Root Servers · · Score: 1

    Me too. You'd better be happy that as Americans we have no idea where other countries are.

  9. Re:I for one on Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand · · Score: 1

    It doesn't dump? That might explain the size.

  10. No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame. on A Review of the 128KB Macintosh · · Score: 1, Funny

    ### 30 ###

  11. Well jeez on Our Brains Don't Work Like Computers · · Score: 1

    That explains why I can't do the Robot.

  12. Re:-1 Troll on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 4, Funny

    You don't know much about Web design do you? CEOs routinely blow off Mac users when they design banking and e-commerce sites.

  13. Re:They use TIFF? on Archiving Digital History at the NARA · · Score: 1

    Why not just convert it to text? If a picture is worth 1000 words, they can knock the data down to 4 gigs right there.

  14. Re:Technology used on MIT Physicists Create New Form of Matter · · Score: 1

    A "Magneto-optical trap".

    That's how you catch "Magneto-optical bears".

  15. Re:Always the risk. on First Controllable Solar Sail Launched Today · · Score: 1

    The trouble is, every time you take what is essentially a robotically controlled device and send it into space giving it a good *shake* in the process, you run the risk of breaking something.

    New rule, people! No British nannies in space.

  16. Yawn on Google vs. Yahoo: On a Collision Course · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yahoo hasn't done jack since the mid-90s. The only reason they exist is because of people too stupid to operate a search engine. Yahoo exists in a part of the Internet where people care an awful lot about selecting their avatars and using the correct smiley.

    Mind you, Microsoft and AOL seems to do okay with the dumbshit client base as well, so maybe it's a sound business plan.

  17. Re:The non-stealthy way on Do Stealth Startups Suck? · · Score: 1

    Marc Andressen was a fairly insignificant part of the MOSAIC team.

    Perhaps, but he's fatter now.

  18. Re:It's a very historic place. on Mauritius Aims To Be First Wireless Nation · · Score: 1

    Can I feed him a fish?

  19. Re:the lost art of the mix tape on Cassette Tapes On The Wane · · Score: 1

    The real art in putting together a mixtape has nothing to do with dealing with the technical limitations of casette tapes...it's all about getting together the right mix of songs and putting them in the right order to acheive just the right mood.

    Only problem was, by the time you got it all recorded you were fucking *sick* of the songs. That's why you gave 'em away.

    The real art was the groovy home-made cover art with silver pens, tape, and Weekly World News stories. Nothing helps you recall those fleeting high school romances like a cassette tape with girlie bubble writing and magazine pix of Duran Duran.

  20. Re:It's marketing. on Big Retailers Timid About Selling Linux Boxen · · Score: 1

    The German readership can fuck off and the.

  21. Re:HA! on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    $9.50?

    I wish. Try $10.75 in Manhattan if you want a screen that's larger than someone's big-screen TV.

  22. Re:Anyone left who just wants CD's or records? on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    This geek (who lives in a small NYC apartment) loves not having to give up space for albums or CDs or any of those other atoms. My MP3s have all the artwork and lyrics in the ID3 tags. I play entire albums in order. I've encoded at a high enough bit level that I can't tell the difference.

  23. Re:Monopoly? on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    A monopoly isn't bad or potentially illegal until it's used to unfair advantage to stifle competition.

    There's nothing stopping anyone from using another music service.

  24. Re:Misread on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 1

    And some action.

  25. Re:I dunno... on Japan Displays Prototype Robot Suit · · Score: 1

    That's good.

    Thanks to those herbal pills I just ordered from that e-mail, I'll soon have loads too heavy for a normal human.
