    Remember that "calorie" in American food parlance is actually a kilocalorie in terms of heating up water.

    More and more, the Explorer windows are being made to look like web pages, with lists and shortcuts running everywhere.

  5. Re:Crazy sounding 'but hear me out' prediction on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not a chance. Those giant ribs at the drive-through always make my car tip over.

    But seriously, the only lizard-like thing I've eaten is alligator and it's tasteless and tough. Sure, you can pound 'em out like a cheap steak and cover them with cajun spices, but what's the point?

  6. Re:a music revolution.. on Re-Imagining Apple · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, this would be better than radio. He said *five* songs.

  7. Yea, IBM 5100! on A History of Portable Computing · · Score: 1

    The first computer I got to screw around on, back in 1975.

    It came with a cassette of cheesy text-based games like Hunt the Wampus and Star Trek. After I got bored playing them, I printed out the BASIC and figured out how to re-write them for my Apple ][. That was my introduction to programming.

    What does November 9th have to do with my being an American again?

  11. Re:Political Correctness - Seen Canadian TV? on Joss Whedon to Write/Direct Wonder Woman · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To be precise, she just made us uninterested in sex for a little while. But we've recovered.

    Don't worry. There's no way they're no way they'll find your mom's basement.

    My Red Giant sure thinks so.

  14. Re:Amazing. on Online Purchases Can Give You Away · · Score: 1

    Very cool.

  15. Re:Co-operation on ESA and NASA Consider Joint Mission To Europa · · Score: 1

    I hope we continue to build bridges between the continents...

    I think the airline lobby might have something to say about that.

  16. Re:Damn pop-ups on Powerful Galaxies Found in Infrared · · Score: 1

    Or, you could just offer to buy a whole lot of what the, and say you want to invest in their company. Offer to take them to lunch to discuss the deal, and when they show up, beat them to death with a fucking claw hammer.

    It's the right thing to do.

  17. Re:Ok ENOUGH. on Is Apple The New Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    There's a world of difference between breaking an NDA for the good of the people (polluting the environment etc), and breaking an NDA just because you feel important because you have secret knowledge about what a company's going to do.

  18. Re:I don't see a problem here... on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    It's true. Every time I see a car commercial I buy a car.

    I've stopped watching television now.

    You've never lived in an apartment under people with a toddler, have you?

  22. That's right, kids. Nothing to see. Go home. on Another Nail In Usenet's Coffin? · · Score: 1

    Nope. Nothing to see here, just go on home back to your flashy flashy, register here, big-fucking-sig, blogs. Go on, set your preferences again and again and again each time you go to a new site. Enjoy the need for an Internet connection to read and post. Who reads all that text anyway? It's all about the animated winky face and the image you linked to from someone's website. Really, kids, web fora are where it's at! It's like baggy pants hanging off your ass, showing your boxers. It's like living in a gated community and adopting the mannerisms of the ghetto. It's like paying $5 for a 30-second ringtone that can't transfer to the next phone you buy. It's the wave of the future, yo.

    (are they gone?)

    Whew. I've been waiting since eternal September started for those Delphi/AOL/WebTV emoticom/LOL/ROTFLMYA-posting douchebags to give up and go home. Jesus, after all these years, my killfile is bigger than some of my MP3s.

  23. Re:Too dangerous - Slippery Slope on EFF Joins Fight Against Apple Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Your example exposes a potential harm, and might prevent people from getting hurt.

    Apple's secrets were not at odds with people's welfare.

    This is not difficult.
