    -- Dr. House

  3. Re:Holy Crap! Calm down on Making a Child Locating System · · Score: 1

    (I'm not suggesting beating your child with a stick mind you).

  4. Re:Fist Prose on Netflix Woes Mean a Gap In Shipments · · Score: 1

    "Can you imagine if a sick bastard rents Madagascar 2 and sends pron instead of a kid's movie?"

    Or even worse, if he sends Madagascar 2?

  5. 'e-waste' recycling options on What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? · · Score: 1

    Here in the Bay area, we have the Computer Recycling Center (crc.org) available, but if there isn't a similar place near you, try GreenDisk (www.greendisk.com). They'll send you a postage-prepaid box to fill with your stuff and send back to them.

  6. Re:space elevator on DARPA Working On Arthur C. Clarke Weapon Idea · · Score: 1

    "The Foundations of Paradise"....

    I thought we had worked out the whole Asimov/Clarke thing last time, but I guess not.

  7. Re:What the machine might do on Arthur C. Clarke Is Dead At 90 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Asimov wrote the Foundation books, not Clarke.

  8. Re:Well done! on Geek Wins Copyright Lawsuit Against Corporation · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised how cheaply I can sell someone else's work and still come out ahead on the deal....

  9. Re:initital thoughts on Alienware's Curved Monitor · · Score: 1

    "As for price...you can bet it will be steep, but Apple thinks they can charge $3k for a 32" monitor, so I'd expect a similar cost for a 36" monitor."

    I don't think they think what you think they think:

    "Alatar and Pallando - The Untold Story" /massive_tolkien_geek

  11. Re:Why stop there? on Microsoft Withdraws Vista's Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure 80% of people could use the cardboard prop computer from the office furniture showroom and have no problems.

  12. Re:'That modeled the wrong behavior' on Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment · · Score: 1

    No, they changed it into a flashlight.

  13. Re:Look at the whole energy chain on Is the Future of the Electric Car Industry in Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    -- Bill Maher

  14. Now... on Single Nanotube Becomes World's Smallest Radio · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Next Year on Time Magazine Person of the Year — It's You · · Score: 1

    The PC already won, some years ago. Fat lot of good it did them.

  16. Re:My Macbook burns on Cook Your Breakfast With MacBook · · Score: 1

    If you put it on a pillow, or probably your lap, you are blocking the heating vents. No surprise if it proceeds to get hot.

  17. Re:3d info - fly throughs on Giant Rock Growing in Mount St. Helens' Crater · · Score: 1

    Try Google Earth. (Granted it's not current, but they have a great 3D rendition of the crater as of a couple years ago.)

  18. Re:Then and Now on Golf's Digital Divide · · Score: 1

    "Now for the kicker - according to the USGA, the average handicap hasn't dropped significantly. What does that tell us?"

    Courses are longer? More beginners are playing?

  19. Re:Truths on Duke Nukem Forever Update · · Score: 1

    Wait, which game are you describing here? I have a bunch like that.

  20. Only one for me... on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    The only reason I'd pollute my Mac with Windows is to run FrameMaker 7+, for as long as my writing jobs continue to require it. (Very handy that I can run FM either in Classic or in BootCamp, only one of which would be available on any given Mac...)

  21. Re: Fire Retardant Material on Philips Recalls Almost 12,000 Flat Panel TVs · · Score: 1

    How about "Differently Flammable"?

  22. Re:more pics etc. on Microsoft Origami Unfolds · · Score: 1

    I believe MS mice and keyboards are actually made by someone else (Logitech?). Appropriately, I've never had problems with the hardware itself, but the MS control software has often led to weirdness on my Mac.

  23. Re:I'm betting it is herpes on Jupiter Gets New Red Spot · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's Venus he needs to worry about.

    [will not insert Uranus joke, will not, will not.....]

  24. Re:45 or 47? on PBS To Air Six New Monty Python Specials · · Score: 1

    What does grammer (sic) nazi say about 'think small' or 'think pink'?
